ADSM/TSM and INFORMIX online Backups

[Ramnarayan, Sean A [EDS]]

Hi

I would like to know if any has setup INFORMIX to backup to ADSM/TSM ?
My question is how did you set up the management class for the Informix
logical and physical
logs to be backed up to ADSM using the onbar function.
How does ADSM store the logs in the server ?
How to delete the logs when inactive from ADSM/TSM.

Thks 

Sean Ramnarayan

Server Migration - AIX to HP

[Smith, Bob]

Has anyone successfully moved a TSM server from one platform to another,
copying the database via BACKUP DB and RESTORE DB commands? We are looking
at moving from AIX (RS-6000) to HP (N-Class) in this way, but IBM are
suggesting that this won't work as the TSM database might be
platform-dependent. They suggest using export/import for the all the nodes,
but we have 23 Tb of backup data so that would be impossible. IBM 3494 with
3590E drives is used to hold the data.

Thanks

Hi guys,

In a totally AIX environment I have set up my storage agent for LAN free
backups. I can start the storage agent and that sees the drive I have
assigned to it. So everything seems to be in order. Now when I start my
bronline backup through backint it does NOT go LAN free! Can anyone give me
a hint were to look for the missing link.

specs:
AIX client/storage agent with TSM V4.2.1
one LTO drive has been connected and configured to it

server is V4.2.1.9
drivemapping is set-up.

Hi

You can do one thing however.

You can backup MKSYSB your OS and then use the DEFINE REVOCERYMEDIA command
to define the new mksysb volumes in TSM.
Then associate one or more machines with your recovery media.

example

Define recmendachassociation %youre tape% %youre node name%

If you move youre recoverymedia offsite you should use the update
recoverymedia command to update its location.

you can then define media that contain softcopy manualst that you would need
during recovery, with the define revocerymedia command.


Remember, the MKSYSB command will not work if both TSM and AIX are sharing
the same drive or drives. To use the operating system?s native tape device
drivers conjuction with a SCSI drive, the device must be configured to AIX
first and then configured to TSM. See your AIX documentatnion regarding
these native device drivers.


Hope this helps.
Pete out :)

No, the TSM backup is not the same as AIX mksysb.  It can not be
used to reload a crashed machine as mksysb, unless you also have
some 3rd party software like Bare Metal Restore from The Kernel Group,
and that requires some additional hardware (servers) etc.

Same for other Unix machines - doesn't duplicate HP-UX ignite tape

Confused? Actually Mark, what I wrote came straight from M.S. And yes the
MAPI is used to do "online" backups. How else would your backup software
system (i.e. Arcserve 2000) be able to see the Information Store?

As far as the difference of MAPI/API? MAPI's are sub-sets of API's. MAPI
just like a AVAPI (or VAPI). MAPI's are not old at all, they are still being
used (from 3rd party vendors) so I do not know what you meant by "older
Microsoft Mail client". Yes MAPI is the API call that is used to look at the
database in a "3 dimensional" sort of way, but it is not M.S.'s MAPI. It is
a 3rd party MAPI.

However, you do not have to restore "entire" information store in order to
get back one or more mailboxes or folders with in a mailbox. You run
Exmerge, export to a PST file. That gets backed up as a regular file. You
then can go from there as to what you need from that PST file and how you
use it.

For example: (from personal experience) the mailbox was corrupted. I
re-created the mailbox exactly how it was before. Then logged in to
initialize the new mailbox, created a personal folder, and imported my
entire PST into that personal folder. Then I methodically copied up what I
needed. (i.e. inbox, calendar, etc...). Without mincing words, a PST is a
personal folder, yes, but you still need a place to import it to, and that
place is a "personal folder" in outlook.

However, the only problem was the public folders. We still needed an agent
for those. As a matter of fact, I have not done  testing on how to
backup/restore Pub Folders "with-out" and agent. :-(

Tony I think your a little confused. On-line backups are not done with
'M.S's MAPI', it's done through MS's api calls. MAPI is a interface used by
the older Microsoft Mail client. MAPI is the interface that the brick level
backup people use to extract the information from the Exchange Information
Store. PST files are personal folders that can be stored locally and hold
Outlook information such as email, calendar, etc. The recommended Microsoft
approach is to restore the entire Information Store to another server and
export the user's mailbox to a personal folder, ie:PST. Then import that
information into the production Exchange servers information store.

Hi,
Here is what I have found to be "FACT" from M.S. They do not support
Brick Level layer backup, simply because ALL 3rd party vendor's DO NOT use
M.S.'s MAPI for the brick's. They all use their own version as a gentleman
stated in past e-mails. However, They "Do" support "ONLINE" backups with any
3rd party vendors software. WHY? because they all use M.S.'s MAPI to do it.

So this only leaves us to backup up PST files, and do restore-
import - copy over (or copy up) to existing user mail box.

So, to answer your question:  Since you can not do Brick level
backup/restores, you should at least backup the PST files. and no, you do
not have to restore the entire Info Store.  Now TSM says to do an "entire
duplicate Exchange server build" in order to recover your mail.

Here is what M.S. has suggested. Schedule CMD files with the "AT command (or
WinAT)" to use EXmerge utility (Exchange resource kit). Export them to a PST
file, import them into a personal folder and copy up the data needed. Now
you can get as fancy as you want with the CMD files and piping them to a TXT
file for Exmerge and what it is doing (makes for a good Exchange Admin log).

Keep in mind though. Not only do you need enough H.D.D. space for the
offline defrags but you also need to have enough H.D.D. space for the PST
files. How much? Well if your database is 4 gb? then you need at least that
amount to run defrag plus (if you are using Exmerge on entire Exchange
server mailboxes) 1.5(x's) the space for the exported PST's. All together
(doing the math), using the 4gb base #, you will need 10gb of free space, in
order to do all this. Y

TSM4.2 + 3583 setup

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi,
I will try the following steps to configure the IBM 3583-L18 (2 drives LVD) library 
attached to Intel server (Windows 2000 server SP2) via SCSI. The HBA (Host Bus 
Adapter) is the Adaptec 29160LP LVD.

Any review is very welcome.

1) I install the IBMUltrium.Win2k.exe downloaded from IBM web-site. The latest version 
of the drivers is 5.0.2.4. I install the these drivers for the charger and the drives. 
I think it’s mandatory to install the IBMUltrium driver for the charger. In the step 
number 8, I tell TSM to use the TSM device driver for the charger!!

2) I disable the RSM

3) I test the library via NTUtil tool. I can find this tool in the installation 
directory created by IBMUltrium.Win2k.exe

4) I install the TSM server

5) I install the TSM licenses

6) I install the TSM backup/archive client

7) I install the TSM device driver

8) Via MMC (Microsoft Management Console) I tell TSM to use the IBMUltrium Drivers for 
the drives and to use the TSM device drivers for the drives

9) Only now I can:
define library ... libtype=scsi device=lb1.2.3.4 .
define drive ... device=\\.\tape0
etc. etc.

Thank you vary much for your kind attention.

Re: Exchange TDP 2.2 Restore Question

[Consiglio, Tony]

Info store question:
Yes, the exmerge does have to read from the Info Store (if that's what you
meant by IS) for each PST. 

Time Frame question:
No, not at all. Actually the Exmerge utility goes very fast. We have a 6.5gb
DB and that takes about 20-25 minutes to do a Exmerge on it. Also, you do
not schedule the Exmerge at same time, I would say run the exmerge during an
off-time and clock it. We are setting our time to do exmerge 1 hour before
backup goes off. Then PST are written to a folder and the rest is history.

Backup Question:
You do not do the exmerge at same time (see above). As far as extra time?
What ever your through-put is on "X gb's" of data, then that is the time
that the backup will take in excess.

Subject: Re: Exchange TDP 2.2 Restore Question


Tony I think your a little confused. On-line backups are not done with
'M.S's MAPI', it's done through MS's api calls. MAPI is a interface used by
the older Microsoft Mail client. MAPI is the interface that the brick level
backup people use to extract the information from the Exchange Information
Store. PST files are personal folders that can be stored locally and hold
Outlook information such as email, calendar, etc. The recommended Microsoft
approach is to restore the entire Information Store to another server and
export the user's mailbox to a personal folder, ie:PST. Then import that
information into the production Exchange servers information store.

Hi,
Here is what I have found to be "FACT" from M.S. They do not support
Brick Level layer backup, simply because ALL 3rd party vendor's DO NOT use
M.S.'s MAPI for the brick's. They all use their own version as a gentleman
stated in past e-mails. However, They "Do" support "ONLINE" backups with any
3rd party vendors software. WHY? because they all use M.S.'s MAPI to do it.

So this only leaves us to backup up PST files, and do restore-
import - copy over (or copy up) to existing user mail box.

So, to answer your question:  Since you can not do Brick level
backup/restores, you should at least backup the PST files. and no, you do
not have to restore the entire Info Store.  Now TSM says to do an "entire

Side note.   I have seen SHAREDM between client and Agent perform better
than TCP in this regards.   We eliminated the loop-back and the CPU

55% to 15% usage.

AW: Performance problems with AIX PTFs

[Rupp Thomas (Illwerke)]

Hi everybody,

our performance problem has been resolved.
We had to apply the latest maintenance for

bos.mp.4.3.3.79
bos.rte.libc.4.3.3.81
bos.net.tcp.server.4.3.3.78
bos.net.tcp.client.4.3.3.78
devices.common.IBM.atm.rte 4.3.3.77

and now the backups run fine again.

What did I learn?
Always install the latest maintenance available.
The NSM is no longer a black box - I will have to
get my feet wet with AIX.

Thanks for all the replies I got!

Kind regards and a nice weekend

Re: Server-side scripting: not supported?

[ARhoads]

This has been bugging me for a long time as well since it means I have to
use cron to automate the TSM daily processing rather than TSM's own
scheduler for administrative commands.  I'd rather schedule TSM daily
processing inside TSM to make it easier for customers to see everything TSM
related from inside the TSM administrative client.

The security issue is bunk.  Other IBM products can access the O.S. just
fine (like DB2).

Bob,

the issue of  'it won't work' doesn't preclude you from trying it!  It
should work since the platforms are both UNIX (handling tape read/write

Otherwise you'd unloaddb to a file and then move the file to the new

Re: logmode/bufpoolsize/mpthreading

[ARhoads]

Joe,

I'd add that you need to consider a safety valve of leaving out 1/2 to 1 gb
of your log space so you have something to add if (when) you do someday run
out of log space.  If you run out of log space -in rollforward logging- your
TSM server will stop until you either extend the log (hence the hold back)
or restore the TSM database!

You need enough of a safety valve to enable you to get your TSM server back
up and complete a database backup without again filling the log.  I setup
customers to hold back 1 gb of pre-allocated space.

Immediately upon the subsequent database backup completing (and reducing the
log to zero) I then recommend to immediately remove the safety valve log
volume.

Re: Server-side scripting: not supported?

[Williams, Tim P {PBSG}]

Even if TSM did support scripting
it would have to be a much more robust scheduler
best daily practices (high level)?
move all backup data that came in to tape and clear disk for the next
night...
next but not before...make the vault copy   ba stg
next after that but not before a db backup (full)
move drmedia after that...
etc...
the scheduler would have to have dependancy ability...
We use an external scheduler for the administrative functions...
We use TSMs internal scheduler for scheduling of backup and archives.

Re: include/exclude for Windows NT

[Andrew Raibeck]

Here is a possibility:

Create a TSM client macro (plain text file) named, say, C:\BACKUP.MAC. The 
contents of this file would be:

   BACKUP REGISTRY
   INCREMENTAL D: E:

(The second line is an example of how you would back up other drives, 
although you could omit them if all you want is the registry.)

Next, create a schedule like this:

   DEF SCH STANDARD BACKREG ACTION=MACRO OBJECTS="C:\BACKUP.MAC"
   DEF ASSOC STANDARD BACKREG BURAK

This is just an example, substitute your own domain, schedule, file, and 
node names as appropriate.

If you don't want to use the TSM scheduler, you can launch the macro 
manually or via 3rd-party scheduler like this:

   DSMC MACRO C:\BACKUP.MAC

how to determine which tapes to move

[Coviello, Paul]

HI, since our library is full and we need to keep the data we have
(Exchange a years worth 30gb a night)  a!  (sorry- it has become
the bane of our existence),  I have been using an overflow location,
Taperoom.  We were running SSM up to now but our demo license has run out
and we are in the process of waiting to hear if the budget is approved.
Which will also give us 98 more slots (joy) anyway we've lost that capabilty
for now. So the following questions are:

config of AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.1.3  and a 100 tape ATL P2000

How does one select which tapes to move off to an overflow location?
with out TSM requiring them the same day or even next.  also How do you
monitor when the tape is needed?

thanks

Paul

Re: 3583 LTO problems

[Sam Schrage]

FYIthe hardware engineer replaced the picker assembly and  upgraded the
microcode levels for the library/tape drives.  This seemed to make the library
run somewhat better.  But finally, he replaces the picker assembly card,
reinstalled the library microcode, and it's hangin' in there.I believe it
was probably the picker assembly card all the time.

Thanks for all the comments/information.   Does anyone know of a 358X forum?

Any one have a problem with TSM auditing a LTO 3583 library.   Some of my tapes
are missing but when I open the door of the library I see all the tape slots
full.   I use the I/O door to input tapes only as SCRATCH so all tapes in the
library should be known to TSM as SCRATCH or PRIVATE.

When the 3583  reinitializes after the door is open sometime it sees the
magazines in the door...sometimes not.   I think it's more a hardware problem
than TSM...until the hardware sees the tapes correctly TSM won't.

Any ideas.   Call has been logged to hardware support.

Re: include/exclude for Windows NT

This solves my most of the problems but what happens if a temp folder 
is created starting with a latter of "a"? This is not a big problem 
but I think IBM should do to solve it. You can not directly give an option 
to backup only one individual folder and no folder or file. 



PS: Following options backs-up c:\adsm.sys folder and subfolders. 
It does not event process any folders other than starting with letter "a"

this in production)
1. IC32620
If schedule managed by CAD the TSM SCHEDULE service will always be set to
start up as MANUAL. The CAD that manages the TSM SCHEDULE will be set to the
MANUAL or AUTOMATIC as selected in the wizard.

2 .IC32752
If the wizard specifies to start scheduler managed by CAD Automatically then
the wizard should also start the CAD immediately".
3. IC32617
Will address error messages:
Event ID - 4099. Scheduler Terminated, service ending.  Event ID - 4099.
Scheduler exited unexpectedly with a result of 0.

We run in SCHEDMODE PROMPTED and NEVER have to restart the TSM Schedule
Service to pick up new schedules.

Just wondering what kind of experiences people have had running the
MANAGEDSERVICES client option under Win2k. Any particular problems to look
out for? My intention is to use CAD to manged the scheduling service.

I have not tested as yet but would also like to know that if I am running
with SCHEDMODE PROMPTED will the CAD pick up a new schedule when contacted
by the TSM server, or will I have to restart the TSM Client Acceptor
Service, just as we've had to in the past with the scheduling service under
Winnt?

Any feedback appreciated

Re: Exchange TDP 2.2 Restore Question

[Seay, Paul]

EXMERGE is not nirvana either.  It does not handle inbox processing rules or
the public folders.  Do a search on Google for EXMERGE and read some of the
issues.  

I fully understand why MS does not support bricklevel restore.  Exchange is
just not robust enough for enterprise computing yet.  However, we have what
we have and until MS provides a TDP for SQL database like interface we will
continue to fight this problem.

The rumor is that MS is actually considering moving Exchange to an MS-SQL
server database.  If they do, then maybe they will consider creating a
bricklevel backup interface for the backup vendors to use.

No, not at all. Actually the Exmerge utility goes very fast. We have a 6.5gb

backup goes off. Then PST are written to a folder and the rest is history.

Backup Question:
You do not do the exmerge at same time (see above). As far as extra time?
What ever your through-put is on "X gb's" of data, then that is the time
that the backup will take in excess.

Confused? Actually Mark, what I wrote came straight from M.S. And yes the
MAPI is used to do "online" backups. How else would your backup software
system (i.e. Arcserve 2000) be able to see the Information Store?

As far as the difference of MAPI/API? MAPI's are sub-sets of API's. MAPI
just like a AVAPI (or VAPI). MAPI's are not old at all, they are still being
used (from 3rd party vendors) so I do not know what you meant by "older
Microsoft Mail client". Yes MAPI is the API call that is used to look at the
database in a "3 dimensional" sort of way, but it is not M.S.'s MAPI. It is
a 3rd party MAPI.

However, you do not have to restore "entire" information store in order to
get back one or more mailboxes or folders with in a mailbox. You run
Exmerge, export to a PST file. That gets backed up as a regular file. You
then can go from there as to what you need from that PST file and how you
use it.

For example: (from personal experience) the mailbox was corrupted. I
re-created the mailbox exactly how it was before. Then logged in to
initialize the new mailbox, created a personal folder, and imported my
entire PST into that personal folder. Then I methodically copied up what I
needed. (i.e. inbox, calendar, etc...). Without mincing words, a PST is a
personal folder, yes, but you still need a place to import it to, and that
place is a "personal folder" in outlook.

However, the only problem was the public folders. We still needed an agent
for those. As a matter of fact, I have not done  testing on how to
backup/restore Pub Folders "with-out" and agent. :-(

Tony I think your a little confused. On-line backups are not done with
'M.S's MAPI', it's done through MS's api calls. MAPI is a interface used by
the older Microsoft Mail client. MAPI is the interface that the brick level
backup people use to extract the information from the Exchange Information
Store. PST files are personal folders that can be stored locally and hold
Outlook information such as email, calendar, etc. The recommended Microsoft
approach is to restore the entire Information Store to another server and
export the user's mailbox to a personal folder, ie:PST. Then import that
information into the production Exchange servers information store.

New Policy Domain vs. New Mgmtclass???

[Malbrough, Demetrius]

Morning, *SMers!

These NT 4.0 TSM 4.1.2.20 nodes have been backing up for years to policy
domain WINNTADSM (generic-not describing the application installed on the
node but only the platform). Now we have a need to change the retention for
all nodes by APPLICATION (SQL,OnDemand, etc) that meet the companies
requirements.

a) Should I create a new policy domain factoring in future add-ons which
will meet this policies criteria?

b) Should I create a new mgmt class with the backup/archive copygroup
retentions and update the dsm.opt files with the new mgmtclass which will
rebind all files to them?


My concerns:
We use a naming convention for all nodes by application as such:

NTSQL001
NTSQL002
NTSQLxxx

Therefore, all NTSQL xxx nodes that are added in the future will be assigned
to this mgmtclass or policy domain. The reason I want to add a new policy
domain is because
the name of the policy domain will reflect what type of application is on
this node
and the way the data is retained. But, the downfall is having to remove the
nodes
which means deleting all filespaces and that may be a little dangerous!

Any hints, tips, concerns are appreciated!

Thanks,

Demetrius Malbrough

Re: include/exclude for Windows NT

[Consiglio, Tony]

E.J,
Burak had it correct. Your right in saying that the program logic reads from
the bottom to the top but physically it needs to be the way he wrote it. I
would not suggest doing this because your not defining what you need to
define "first".

The flow should go like this:
1.) Define drive (domain which is actually there term for partition or
actual drive)
2.) Then exclude everything
3.) Then include only what you need.

Burak!? check your switches to make sure your using the correct commands for
the OS your setting it up for. Also Keep in mind that TSM can also backup
the "SYSTEM STATE". Do a search on Tivoli for what the "system state backup"
includes. You may find that all you need to do is an Archive of the system
state. the NT*.DIT file. Which, by the way, will report as if it did not
back it up, but remember as you back the data up it keeps a copy of it in
the archive folder. When the restore is done, just do a search on the local
machine for that *.dit file you should find it in two places, one in the
Winnt and one in a backed up copy of the system state. You will see what I
mean your you do it.
Hope this helps

Re: Exchange TDP 2.2 Restore Question

Yes Petur, the Exmerge can run either or. You will most likely want to do
this while the servers exchange services are running.

We are in the midst of creating a new scheduled *.cmd file that does this
M-F then on the following Monday, it deletes entire directory and starts the

Info store question:
Yes, the exmerge does have to read from the Info Store (if that's what you
meant by IS) for each PST.

Time Frame question:
No, not at all. Actually the Exmerge utility goes very fast. We have a 6.5gb
DB and that takes about 20-25 minutes to do a Exmerge on it. Also, you do
not schedule the Exmerge at same time, I would say run the exmerge during an
off-time and clock it. We are setting our time to do exmerge 1 hour before
backup goes off. Then PST are written to a folder and the rest is history.

Backup Question:
You do not do the exmerge at same time (see above). As far as extra time?
What ever your through-put is on "X gb's" of data, then that is the time
that the backup will take in excess.

Confused? Actually Mark, what I wrote came straight from M.S. And yes the
MAPI is used to do "online" backups. How else would your backup software
system (i.e. Arcserve 2000) be able to see the Information Store?

As far as the difference of MAPI/API? MAPI's are sub-sets of API's. MAPI
just like a AVAPI (or VAPI). MAPI's are not old at all, they are still being
used (from 3rd party vendors) so I do not know what you meant by "older
Microsoft Mail client". Yes MAPI is the API call that is used to look at the
database in a "3 dimensional" sort of way, but it is not M.S.'s MAPI. It is
a 3rd party MAPI.

However, you do not have to restore "entire" information store in order to
get back one or more mailboxes or folders with in a mailbox. You run
Exmerge, export to a PST file. That gets backed up as a regular file. You
then can go from there as to what you need from that PST file and how you
use it.

For example: (from personal experience) the mailbox was corrupted. I
re-created the mailbox exactly how it was before. Then logged in to
initialize the new mailbox, created a personal folder, and imported my
entire PST into that personal folder. Then I methodically copied up what I
needed. (i.e. inbox, calendar, etc...). Without mincing words, a PST is a
personal folder, yes, but you still need a place to import it to, and that
place is a "personal folder" in outlook.

However, the only problem was the public folders. We still needed an agent
for those. As a matter of fact, I have not done  testing on how to
backup/restore Pub Folders "with-out" and agent. :-(

OK, "delete volhist type=dbb tod=today" will not delete all of your data
base backup volumes...
TSM will never delete your latest/only db backup copy.
If you are trying to reuse that same tape volser DB_DO you will never be
able to do it !
You have to have AT LEAST TWO volumes, one which remains the active one
while a new one is created...
then (once a new one on a second volume is created) if you do a "delete

Hello,

i wanna backup the database every monday and thuesday on a tape (DB_MO) for
monday and (DB_DO) for thuesday.

the command "BACKUP DB DEV=DLTCLS02 T=F VOL=DB_DO SCR=N WAIT=NO" for

the strange thing is that i always get the following error.. also when i
start it directly in the console.

Re: ANR4583E Database backup terminated

[Prather, Wanda]

If TSM won't let you write a new DB backup to it, TSM must think there is
still valid data on it, yes?

Try:
select volume_name, date(date_time),type from volhistory where volume_name
like 'DB%'

Re: TDP monitoring

When running the Exchange full backup via a schedule, a "C:\WINNT4\system32\cmd.exe"

Is it simply Q the size of the full and the incrs and do the math?  That's

Re: how to determine which tapes to move

[David Longo]

To see a list of tapes to pull out of library do:

q media * stg=POOLNAME days=X wherestate=mountablein

Where POOLNAME = your tape poll name.  For X in days=, I would
start high, say 7 days.  THis will showe you tapes in this stgpool
that are mountableinlibrary and haven't been accessed in 7 days.
You can adjust this X value till you get as many tapes as you need to pull
out.

The do:

move media * stg=POOLNAME days=X wherestate=mountablein

This will remove all tapes with this criteria out of library.  (You can add
remove=bulk if you havew a bulk I/O station)

This doesn't gaurantee that these tapes won't be needed an hour after
you remove them, but using the days parameter reduces the possiblity.

When a restore/retrieve/reclamation needs one of the tapes you removed,
there will be a pronpt on the Console for that tape.  No real way to predict
when a tape is needed.  I do this a lot with my IBM 3575-L32 library.

When a tape is needed just check backin as you would a scratch tape
except use status=private.

Re: Run OS command from inside TSM script?

[John Monahan]

You can use an immediate client action to run OS commands within a TSM
script.  You just have to setup the TSM client and scheduler, with
schedmode prompted, on your AIX system if you haven't done so already.

Here's a couple examples:

Sleep script (this script takes the number of seconds as a parameter):
define clientaction NODENAME action=command -
 objects='sleep "$1"' wait=yes
i.e. RUN SLEEP 30

Mail script (this script takes the subject of the mail as a parameter)
define clientaction NODENAME action=command  -
 objects='mail -s "$1" [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null' wait=no
i.e. RUN MAIL "This script has started"

Re: Server Migration - AIX to HP

[Robin Sharpe]

Bob,

Don't bother.  I can tell you from experience that it won't work, and
Tivoli support will tell you it isn't supported.  BTW, export/import isn't
supported either, although it "may" work.

We are in the middle of a migration from AIX to HP (L2000 server).  Tried
the same thing.   The problem is apparently in the way TSM records data on
tape on AIX vs. on HP-UX TSM on HP-UX could not read the tape created
on AIX.   I was able to export the database and import on HP-UX.  But, like
you, we have a lot of node data on AIX (about 60TB).  By my rough
calculations, (using DLT7000 drives) it would have taken more than six
months of exporting, 24x7, optimistically assuming a 5MB/sec throughput.

What we are now doing is keeping our old TSM and library online until the
"old" data expires which will be about a year.  Then we'll
export/import any remaining archives.  Luckily for us, we have the hardware
to do this.

Some other folks have suggested FTP'ing the database from AIX to
HP-UXor 'tar'ing it...  I didn't think of it, and now it's too late to
try, since we've been backing up on HP for several months.  I also didn't
try the unloaddb/loaddb,  but I suspect the same problem would exist.

Good Luck

Bob,

the issue of  'it won't work' doesn't preclude you from trying it!  It
should work since the platforms are both UNIX (handling tape read/write
sim.).

Otherwise you'd unloaddb to a file and then move the file to the new
platform -- maybe preferable anyway to re-optimize the database...

Re: how to determine which tapes to move

[David Longo]

Yes, it's easier using the days= than having to do specific tapes
one at a time.  You got the idea, after a while you will know about
what days value to start with.  

The other way is to not use the days on the move media and just
cancel the process when you have enough tapes out.  Using the days
parameter helps reduce tape requests as you take out tapes that
haven't been accessed recently first.

so you would actually do a * and not specific tapes?  I did 7 and there is
50 tapes at this time. I went all the way to 28 and got 11.   I guess I have

Is this from a Support call?

The MVS,NT,AIX, and HPUX TSM Guides at least imply cross-platform import is
"supported":

Importing Data from Sequential Media Volumes
Before you import data to a new target server, you must:
1. Install TSM on the target server. This step includes defining disk space
for the databas and recovery log.
For information on installing TSM, see Quick Start.
2. Define server storage for the target server.

Because each server operating system handles devices differently, TSM does
not export
server storage definitions. Therefore, you must define initial server
storage for the target
server. TSM must at least be able to use a drive that is compatible with the
export
media. This task can include defining libraries, drives, device classes,
storage pools, and
volumes. See the Administrator's Guide that applies to the target server.>

Re: ADSM/TSM and INFORMIX online Backups

[George Lesho]

Need more info Sean. In order for Onbar to play with TSM, a shared library
is needed. Tivoli previously gave you one in ADSM Ver 3.1 but dropped the
shared library for later distributions when it found it could sell a stand
alone product (thus put some more coins in their pocket) called TDM for
Informix which is basically a shared XBSA library. Informix does have one
available that they got gratis from Legatto some time ago but it doesn't
work well. The only other 3rd party product that provides a shared library
is BMC SQL BackTrack for Informix which also allows you to pull database
tables from the TSM backup tapes and stick them in a warm database (nice
feature). My location uses SQL BackTrack for Informix. How do you plan on
putting a shared library into use? The BMC product has you create "backup
pools" which basically are the conduit to TSM by allowing you to bind a
management class to a backup (the "backup pools" have nothing to do with
actual tapes. I don't run onbar commands to do backups but use BMC commands
which in turn call the onbar commands. I do all backups as TSM archive type
because expiration doesn't work well with "backup" type backups. There
isn't a true incremental capability withing TSM against these data bases
anyway. There is an incremental capability within onbar (L0, L1, L2) but
TSM doesn't care about this aspect of Onbar. Read the Onbar Backup and
Restore Guide for your version of Informix and decide how you are going to
come up with an XBSA shared library.
Don't hesitate to shoot further questions.

Re: Server-side scripting: not supported?

OK, a little deeper...
we have 5 groups of stg areas, basically...
Since TSM doesn't give you a good way to "control" (wait=yes is good with
move data, but there's
nothing for, say, migration) the movement from disk to tape we HAVE to use
move data commands...
We have over 100 disk vols.
We simultaneously run move datas.
If one area completes then, it goes onto the ba stg.
ALL move datas and ba stgs have to complete (5 general areas) prior to the

A good scheduler, will get this done with ease. Scripting...that would be

That "good" scheduler would have to query the TSM server to get state
variables to be "non-fragile".  For example, before issuing "move data"
commands, you would want to know there were sufficient tape drives available
(maybe issuing dismounts against mounted-but-idle volumes.) Also, to be
dynamic, it would have to query TSM to get a list of volumes for each disk
storage pool as candidates.  And maybe parse the Description field from the
stgpool to get the copypool name for the Backup Stgpool command.

So why not script away, anyway?

Re: New Policy Domain vs. New Mgmtclass???

[Kelly Lipp]

Policy domains.  That way you won't have to use a bunch of includes.  Now,
that said, if only bits of the overall data are different on each system,
then management classes will work better.  If all the data on a system is
retained one way, and all the data on another client is managed differently:
different domains.

Subject: New Policy Domain vs. New Mgmtclass???


Morning, *SMers!

These NT 4.0 TSM 4.1.2.20 nodes have been backing up for years to policy
domain WINNTADSM (generic-not describing the application installed on the
node but only the platform). Now we have a need to change the retention for
all nodes by APPLICATION (SQL,OnDemand, etc) that meet the companies
requirements.

a) Should I create a new policy domain factoring in future add-ons which
will meet this policies criteria?

b) Should I create a new mgmt class with the backup/archive copygroup
retentions and update the dsm.opt files with the new mgmtclass which will
rebind all files to them?


My concerns:
We use a naming convention for all nodes by application as such:

NTSQL001
NTSQL002
NTSQLxxx

Therefore, all NTSQL xxx nodes that are added in the future will be assigned
to this mgmtclass or policy domain. The reason I want to add a new policy
domain is because
the name of the policy domain will reflect what type of application is on
this node
and the way the data is retained. But, the downfall is having to remove the
nodes
which means deleting all filespaces and that may be a little dangerous!

Any hints, tips, concerns are appreciated!

Thanks,

Tony, this is from the TDP for Exchange help file:

The Exchange Application Client communicates with TSM using the TSM
Application Program Interface (API) and with the Exchange Server using the
Exchange API.

This article was published December 23rd, 1993. Microsoft Mail was

LAN Manager.

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY
Below is a list of common technical questions and answers about Messaging

These articles are from Microsoft's knowledgebase:

XADM: Recovering a Single Mailbox from the Online Backup (Q163713)

SUMMARY
A single mailbox can be recovered from the online backup without having to
put the production Microsoft Exchange Server computer offline.

MORE INFORMATION
To recover the mailbox, you must have a Windows NT computer with enough
capacity to install Microsoft Exchange Server and to restore the entire
private information store database. The following outlines the procedure for
single mailbox recovery from the online backup.



XADM: Overview of Maintenance, Backup, and Disaster Recovery for Exchange
Server (Q272234)

Restoring Individual Items in a Mailbox
Sometimes users delete messages but later realize that they should not have
deleted them. Because Exchange Server handles backup and restore procedures
at the physical page layer, not at the mailbox level, you cannot easily
restore individual messages in a mailbox from backup. Some third-party
backup programs do allow you to do a "brick backup"; however, they do not
use the Exchange Server backup and restore application programming
interfaces (APIs) and typically do not perform as well as backups at the
physical page layer do.

However, there is a way for users to recover messages that they have deleted
from a mailbox without having to resort to backups. The Recover Deleted
Items feature that comes with Exchange Server 5.5 lets a user retrieve
messages from the Deleted Items folder in Outlook if you enable the feature
on the server. Note that if you do enable the Recover Deleted Items feature,
the server will require additional disk resources to store the deleted
items.

In a future release, Exchange Server will be extended to allow applications
to recover messages even after they have been permanently deleted from the
system.

Subject: Re: Exchange TDP 2.2 Restore Question


Confused? Actually Mark, what I wrote came straight from M.S. And yes the
MAPI is used to do "online" backups. How else would your backup software
system (i.e. Arcserve 2000) be able to see the Information Store?

As far as the difference of MAPI/API? MAPI's are sub-sets of API's. MAPI
just like a AVAPI (or VAPI). MAPI's are not old at all, they are still being
used (from 3rd party vendors) so I do not know what you meant by "older
Microsoft Mail client". Yes MAPI is the API call that is used to look at the
database in a "3 dimensional" sort of way, but it is not M.S.'s MAPI. It is
a 3rd party MAPI.

However, you do not have to restore "entire" information store in order to
get back one or more mailboxes or folders with in a mailbox. You run
Exmerge, export to a PST file. That gets backed up as a regular file. You
then can go from there as to what you need from that PST file and how you
use it.

For example: (from personal experience) the mailbox was corrupted. I
re-created the mailbox exactly how it was before. Then logged in to
initialize the new mailbox, created a personal folder, and imported my
entire PST into that personal folder. Then I methodically copied up what I
needed. (i.e. inbox, calendar, etc...). Without mincing words, a PST is a
personal folder, yes, but you still need a place to import it to, and that
place is a "personal folder" in outlook.

However, the only problem was the public folders. We still needed an agent
for those. As a matter of fact, I have not done  testing on how to
backup/restore Pub Folders "with-out" and agent. :-(

Re: Server Migration - AIX to HP

[Seay, Paul]

We just exported/imported a ton of stuff from W2K to AIX TSMSERVER with no
problems on Magstar Tape.  The issue is the drivers between platforms may
not be recording the data the same way.  Magstar, that is not a problem.

Bob,

Don't bother.  I can tell you from experience that it won't work, and Tivoli
support will tell you it isn't supported.  BTW, export/import isn't
supported either, although it "may" work.

We are in the middle of a migration from AIX to HP (L2000 server).  Tried
the same thing.   The problem is apparently in the way TSM records data on
tape on AIX vs. on HP-UX TSM on HP-UX could not read the tape created
on AIX.   I was able to export the database and import on HP-UX.  But, like
you, we have a lot of node data on AIX (about 60TB).  By my rough
calculations, (using DLT7000 drives) it would have taken more than six
months of exporting, 24x7, optimistically assuming a 5MB/sec throughput.

What we are now doing is keeping our old TSM and library online until the
"old" data expires which will be about a year.  Then we'll export/import
any remaining archives.  Luckily for us, we have the hardware to do this.

Some other folks have suggested FTP'ing the database from AIX to HP-UXor
'tar'ing it...  I didn't think of it, and now it's too late to try, since
we've been backing up on HP for several months.  I also didn't try the
unloaddb/loaddb,  but I suspect the same problem would exist.

Good Luck

Bob,

the issue of  'it won't work' doesn't preclude you from trying it!  It
should work since the platforms are both UNIX (handling tape read/write
sim.).

Otherwise you'd unloaddb to a file and then move the file to the new
platform -- maybe preferable anyway to re-optimize the database...

Restore on Linux

[Seay, Paul]

We have the backup running just fine and the backups table finds the stuff.
We implemented the virtualmountpoint.  But, the restore cannot find the
files.  Anyone else experienced this problem.  It acts like it cannot find a
match between the virtual mount point and the filespaces.

Info store question:
Yes, the exmerge does have to read from the Info Store (if that's what you
meant by IS) for each PST. 

Time Frame question:
No, not at all. Actually the Exmerge utility goes very fast. We have a 6.5gb
DB and that takes about 20-25 minutes to do a Exmerge on it. Also, you do
not schedule the Exmerge at same time, I would say run the exmerge during an
off-time and clock it. We are setting our time to do exmerge 1 hour before
backup goes off. Then PST are written to a folder and the rest is history.

Backup Question:
You do not do the exmerge at same time (see above). As far as extra time?
What ever your through-put is on "X gb's" of data, then that is the time
that the backup will take in excess.

Confused? Actually Mark, what I wrote came straight from M.S. And yes the
MAPI is used to do "online" backups. How else would your backup software
system (i.e. Arcserve 2000) be able to see the Information Store?

As far as the difference of MAPI/API? MAPI's are sub-sets of API's. MAPI
just like a AVAPI (or VAPI). MAPI's are not old at all, they are still being
used (from 3rd party vendors) so I do not know what you meant by "older
Microsoft Mail client". Yes MAPI is the API call that is used to look at the
database in a "3 dimensional" sort of way, but it is not M.S.'s MAPI. It is
a 3rd party MAPI.

However, you do not have to restore "entire" information store in order to
get back one or more mailboxes or folders with in a mailbox. You run
Exmerge, export to a PST file. That gets backed up as a regular file. You
then can go from there as to what you need from that PST file and how you
use it.

For example: (from personal experience) the mailbox was corrupted. I
re-created the mailbox exactly how it was before. Then logged in to
initialize the new mailbox, created a personal folder, and imported my
entire PST into that personal folder. Then I methodically copied up what I
needed. (i.e. inbox, calendar, etc...). Without mincing words, a PST is a
personal folder, yes, but you still need a place to import it to, and that
place is a "personal folder" in outlook.

However, the only problem was the public folders. We still needed an agent
for those. As a matter of fact, I have not done  testing on how to
backup/restore Pub Folders "with-out" and agent. :-(

Tony I think your a little confused. On-line backups are not done with
'M.S's MAPI', it's done through MS's api calls. MAPI is a interface used by
the older Microsoft Mail client. MAPI is the interface that the brick level
backup people use to extract the information from the Exchange Information
Store. PST files are personal folders that can be stored locally and hold
Outlook information such as email, calendar, etc. The recommended Microsoft
approach is to restore the entire Information Store to another server and
export the user's mailbox to a personal folder, ie:PST. Then import that
information into the production Exchange servers information store.

Hi,
Here is what I have found to be "FACT" from M.S. They do not support
Brick Level layer backup, simply because ALL 3rd party vendor's DO NOT use
M.S.'s MAPI for the brick's. They all use their own version as a gentleman
stated in past e-mails. However, They "Do" support "ONLINE" backups with any
3rd party vendors software. WHY? because they all use M.S.'s MAPI to do it.

Re: Server Migration - AIX to HP

[Robin Sharpe]

Yes, that was from Tivoli support, although if you push hard enough you
could probably get some help.  But this is what they told me:
"You can try exporting the server from AIX and importing it on HP-UX.  It
might work, but is not supported".
Maybe they meant a "full" import/export -- server and all nodes.  And they
could have been misinterpreting something.
Here's another example of support misleading us:  out NT group is testing
W2K and had some trouble rebuilding a server from bare metal... support
told them TSM does not support bare metal restore on Windows.   What they
should have said (I think) is "TSM does have an automatic bare metal
restore for Windows".  The NT guys started panicing... I directed them to
the books and help screens on the client, and they were able to figure out
how to do it.

Is this from a Support call?

The MVS,NT,AIX, and HPUX TSM Guides at least imply cross-platform import is
"supported":

Importing Data from Sequential Media Volumes
Before you import data to a new target server, you must:
1. Install TSM on the target server. This step includes defining disk space
for the databas and recovery log.
For information on installing TSM, see Quick Start.
2. Define server storage for the target server.

Because each server operating system handles devices differently, TSM does
not export
server storage definitions. Therefore, you must define initial server
storage for the target
server. TSM must at least be able to use a drive that is compatible with
the
export
media. This task can include defining libraries, drives, device classes,
storage pools, and
volumes. See the Administrator's Guide that applies to the target server.>

Re: Server Migration - AIX to HP

[Robin Sharpe]

In our case, it was a combination of company policy and $$$.  We have a
global contract with HP through our parent.
We were looking to expand our library (ATL P3000) because we had overflowed
it.  I looked into upgrading it to a P6000 (basically another P3000 bolted
on with a pass-through port), but the cost was pretty high.  next step was
to look at the HP 20/700 (really a STK L700)... which offers more slots
than the P6000 upgrade for quite a bit less cost.  Problem was, HP would
not support their lib on an IBM box.  So we went around and around with HP
& Tivoli on the support issue, and finally decided to get the 20/700 and a
new HP L2000 server... then we planned to move the RS6000/P3000 to another
location and set up server to server.   The migration problem has delayed
those plans, but we should get there eventually.

So far, The 20/700 has been OK, but there do seem to be some strange I/O
errors at times, and the lib's operator interface isn't as advanced as the
P3000.  The P3000's web interface only works on Solaris and NT, so we can't
use it.  The HP web interface is built into the lib, but it doesn't allow
you to move carts around.  Oh well.
