I'm having problem to schedule a selective backup with TDP for DOMINO 1.1.2.

On the server NT, I have 3 different schedule:

1 for Backup/Archive
1 for Incremental and weekly selective (ADSM server = ADSM1 / ADSM node =
domino-firm)
1 for monthly selective (ADSM server = ADSN3 / ADSM node = domino-firm)

the 2 first are launched correctly.

When the schedule arrives at time to lauch the monthly selective it show the
message:

ANS1512E Scheduled event 'MONTHLY-DOMINO' failed.   Return code=1

Everything seems to be correctly set up. I don't know where to look now

All help is welcome.

Thank You

Mike

Re: Restoring Data on A Damaged Tape

2002-05-15 Thread Stephen Pole


Yes I agree with Eric,


First AUDIT VOL FIX=NO if all is OK then (I've have had a few problems with
3590E's going unavailable. Then
Next
MOVE DATA across to an empty volume,

If the AUDIT was not good, fix using AUDIT VOLUME FIX=YES, and still MOVE
the data you have across to another tape.
Then seek help of the owners of the files.  :)

Subject: Re: Restoring Data on A Damaged Tape

Hi Mike!
I would start an AUDIT VOLUME FIX=NO on the tape. This will tell you which
files are damaged. Let's hope they are TSM backup files, not TDP backup
files!
Afterwards, you can run an AUDIT VOLUME FIX=YES. It will remove the damaged
files from your database, so they will be backed up again during the next
backup.
Now you can run a MOVE DATA to empty the tape.
If the tape is not readable at all, you will have to do a Q CONT to see what
kind of backups are on that tape. You can then delete it with
DISCARDDATA=YES.
If the tape does contain damaged TDP files, it gets more complicated. When
fi. you are using TDP for Oracle you will also have to tell the Oracle
Recovery Catalog that the backup files are gone. I personally don't know
how, but a Oracle Administrator should know.

Any suggestions for a worst case scenario, where it is a primary pool tape

Had this happen this morning.  Wrote 33GB onto a 3590E.  The tape then
became
unreadable, the server error being "I/O error reading label for libvolume

Has anyone used any data recovery services?  Is it even possible in this

Mike,

I suggest looking more closely at the scheduler log
as well as the DOMDSM.LOG. The DOMDSM.LOG will have
entries in it that indicate if there was a failure
running TDP for Domino. If there are no entries
in the DOMDSM.LOG file at the scheduled time
of the run, then there is a problem with the
schedule definition or execution.
If there are entries in the DOMDSM.LOG file,
then it should tell you what the problem was.

Thanks,

Hello,

Did you do this via smitty - upgrade all? - I never believe it!! Maybe I
should! It is easy to unhighlight a package, or miss it all together.

Can you check that you have the correct version of help? Or that the help
was in fact installed? And that it exists in the right place.
Make sure you reinstall the help files.

I've struck this a few times, and  as far as I can remember that is all I
did.

I'm sure others will be able to assist if this doesn't

Good luck

Stephen.

Wolfgang,

You are correct, to restore an Exchange server you need,
ONE of the following:
   1 Full backup (already has the logs it needs to recover)
  or
   1 Full backup + NN incremental backups
  or
   1 Full backup + 1 latest differential backup
This is covered in Chapter 1 of the TDP for Exchange book under
a section titled "TDP for Exchange Backup Strategy Considerations"

TDP for Exchange version 2.2 will always keep the latest
FULL backup until another FULL backup is completed succesfully.
It will NOT expire any INCREMENTAL or DIFFERENTIAL backups that
go with the latest FULL backup until the next FULL backup
is completed succesfully.

I hope that helps.

Thanks,

Del

Re: schedule ADSM


Hi Del,

thank's for your response.

There is no message in domdsm.log. Only in dsmerr.log (the one configure
whith the schedule).

Here is the opt file:

Commethod   tcpip
tcpport 1506
TCPServeraddressADSM3
COMPression off
DOMain  ALL-LOCAL
Subdir  YES
PASSWORDACCESS  GENERATE
NODENAMEDOMINO-FIRM


the process of lauching the backup is generate by a command file
(domino.cmd)

It contains the follow:

Set dom_dir="d:\program files\tivoli\tsm\domino"

cd /d %dom_dir%

start /B domdsmc selective * /subdir=yes /adsmoptfile=dsm_month.opt
/logfile=domdsm.log >> dsm_month.log

the fact that the domdsm.log contains nothing about the failed operation
means maybe that it has been rejected before starting using the command line
with means in return that it can be a problem between the node and the
server ??

I hope i didn't miss anything..

Thank's

Mike

I have a 3.7.2 TSM server on AIX that has a reclamation process that is
waiting to mount a volume that is access=AVAILABLE

I attempted to cancel the process, but the process remains, with the input
volume mounted, and the wait counter for the mount is at 53,635 seconds.

Is there any way to kill this short of halting the server?

When the schedule arrives at time to lauch the monthly selective it show
the
message:

ANS1512E Scheduled event 'MONTHLY-DOMINO' failed.   Return code=1

Everything seems to be correctly set up. I don't know where to look now

All help is welcome.

Thank You

Mike

Re: ANS1512E Return code = 1


Matt,

>From the TDP for SQL log you appended,
the TDP for SQL log backups are working fine.
There is something else failing or wrong in
your script that is causing a non-zero return
code to be sent back to the scheduler.
Better take a closer look at the script.

Thanks,

Del

Hello,

Did you do this via smitty - upgrade all? - I never believe it!! Maybe I
should! It is easy to unhighlight a package, or miss it all together.

Can you check that you have the correct version of help? Or that the help
was in fact installed? And that it exists in the right place.
Make sure you reinstall the help files.

I've struck this a few times, and  as far as I can remember that is all I
did.

I'm sure others will be able to assist if this doesn't

Good luck

Stephen.

Can anybody help me to fix this?
Many thanks in advance.

Mike,

You are correct.  If "domdsm.log" and "dsm_month.log"
do not have an indication that the batch file was run,
then you need to look at the how the scheduler
instance has been defined, i.e. you will need to
examine the parameters that it uses. In addition,
you will need to look at the definition of the
schedule itself.

By the way.. I thought I'd mention a common
problem that we see in this area... and that is
if the OBJECT paramater of the COMMAND type schedule
definition references a directory that contains spaces
in the path... this can cause a problem if the
definition is not correct.
What is the "OBJECTS" option in the
schedule definition set to?  If it contains
spaces, it should look something like this:

OBJECTS='"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\domino\domino.cmd"'

Notice the usage of single and double quotes.

Thanks,

Del

On our well-behaved and moderately loaded system, I am not seeing a
problem with anything in v4.2.2.2 (AIX 4.3.3). However, on the more
'abused' systems, ones that are constantly migrating and have users
on them all the time, the expiration hangs whenever there is a
migration, reclamation or move data going on. Simultaneous expiration
and migration wasn't a problem on the well-behaved server.
 
I am letting one run with a migration right now to see if it
eventually resolves itself (deadlock?). Right now, it's going on
15 minutes and has locked up the other migration process. I'm not
sure if backups to the disk pool are affected yet. At 30 minutes or
so, I'll halt the server, restart and call the problen in.

Are you setting TDPO_NUM_BUFFERS to something to other than 1 (default)?
Setting TDPO_NUM_BUFFERS to anything higher causes TDP Oracle to spawn
threads for sending data buffers to the TSM Server. If you have
TDPO_NUM_BUFFERS in your options file, comment it out using '*' and run
again. If you still experience this behavior, you have a couple of
options:

1. Upgrade TDP for Oracle to 2.2.1, and/or
2. Call Tivoli support and open a problem record.

Subject: TDP for Oracle causing Mutex problems.

Hi,

NT 4 Server running SP6a. TSM 4.2, TDP for oracle 2.2.0.2

We currently have a problem where, when our oracle database backups run,
they are causing the Mutexes to hit 500 or above. Once this happens no one
is able to logon to any of the databases, and the only way around this
problem is to reboot the server, or stop and start the oracle scheduler
service and all the databases affected.

Anyone got any ideas please

Regards

Stuart

To get most noticeable benefits you need to be in the scenario where :-

v4.2.2.2 - problems with expire inventory

2002-05-15 Thread Gretchen L. Thiele


On our well-behaved and moderately loaded system, I am not seeing a
problem with anything in v4.2.2.2 (AIX 4.3.3). However, on the more
'abused' systems, ones that are constantly migrating and have users
on them all the time, the expiration hangs whenever there is a
migration, reclamation or move data going on. Simultaneous expiration
and migration wasn't a problem on the well-behaved server.

I am letting one run with a migration right now to see if it
eventually resolves itself (deadlock?). Right now, it's going on
15 minutes and has locked up the other migration process. I'm not
sure if backups to the disk pool are affected yet. At 30 minutes or
so, I'll halt the server, restart and call the problen in.

Re: Microsoft cluster server / TSM

2002-05-15 Thread Wholey, Joseph (TGA\\MLOL)

Dave,

Thanks for your help yesterday.  Greatly appreciated.  All seemed to have gone well... 
didn't test for failover as of yet (SA's had other things to do).  One question if you 
don't mind...
It seems (according to the SA's) that after installing TSM and setting up all of the 
services, the SA's are not able to move services from one machine to another.  They 
end up having to reboot both
machines to free up the resources.  Is this anything that you've heard of relating to 
TSM?  There is nothing that I see that indicates TSM is causing this problem.  
Moreover, I can't imagine how TSM
could be holding on to a resource and preventing it from moving.

Thanks again, Joe

Activity Log not recording

2002-05-15 Thread Diana Noble


Can anyone tell me why my activity log has stopped recording.  Best I can
tell is that it was flooded with

ANR8216W Error sending data on socket 59. Reason 32.

which I believe is from the web interface (which was probably me).  This
happened last night and nothing has been recorded in the activity log
since.  I have lots of room in my database and lots of room in my recovery
log.  I decreased the activity log retention and still it is not
recording.  Documentation says it will start recording once there is space
in the database and/or recovery log.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Diana

SHOW VERSION AND UNICODE

2002-05-15 Thread Jeff White


Hi,

Two problems with unicode.

Problem 1:
Using the undocumented command SHOW VERSION, i can't see any filespaces
that have FILESPACE UNICODE set to YES. When i run Q FILESPACE nodename *,
i can see the unicode filespace. i.e.

Node NameFilespace   FSID  Platform
FilespaceIs  Capacity Pct
 Name
TypeFilespace  (MB)   Util
Unicode?
---  ---  ---
- -

CISCLST2-LOCAL  \\cisclst2\c$ 3   WinNT  NTFS

CISCLST2-LOCAL  \\cisclst2\e19507 6   WinNT  NTFS  Yes
121,222.0  94.5

I use SHOW VERSION to look at which management classes are used in backup
versions. I know i can get this from the database tables, but sometimes it
runs for hours and locks the TSM server.

Problem 2:
When i try to rename a filespace with unicode=yes, it fails with message:
Command:
ren filespace N10713 \\n10713\c$ \\test\c$

Msg:
ANR0852E RENAME FILESPACE: No matching file spaces found for node N10713.

As you can see, the filespace does exist

Virtualnodename issue concerning Windows and AIX

2002-05-15 Thread Ilja G. Coolen


Hello there,

We stumbled onto the following problem, the hard way i may add.

We have a mixed environment using AIX, Windows NT/2K and Sun Solaris.
The Sun and NT boxes all run a very recent TSM client level.
Some AIX boxes are running TSM client code by now as well, but most of the
aren't on AIX 4.3.3 yet, so we can't upgrade them all.

Our TSM server runs on AIX 4.3.3.x at level 4.2.1.9.

Here comes the problem.
One of our DBA's connected to TSM server using a windows tsm client,
pretending to be a certain AIX node. Due to the optionsettings, the
AUTOFSRENAME action kicked in, updating the FS information on that AIX box.

The q node showed the following.

tsm: ABPTSM1>q node rs6sv090*



Node Name Platform Policy Domain  Days Since
Days Since Locked?
   Name   Last Acce-
Password
  ss
Set
-  -- --
-- ---
RS6SV090  AIX  DOMRS_TST  <1
<1   No
RS6SV090Z WinNTDOMRS_TST   1
182   No


The *Z node is the renamed version, so we could continue the backups to the
original node name, being rs6sv090.
As you can see, the *Z AIX box is shown as a NT box. Huh?!

When connecting the original node from the AIX command line, we are told
that the client is down-level, so we cannot connect.
No backups or restores are possible using the original node. No backups or
restores are possible from any AIX node, no mather which client code we run.

To make the original data available, we exported the *Z data, and imported
it into the original nodename, without updating the client information using
the replacedefs=no option during the import. This took a while though.

I think it's not such a good functionality, that we can use a windows tsm
client to connect as an AIX box, rendering the AIX data unavailable.
To me, this feels like a BUG.

I'm working on the following questions:
Did any of you run into such a problem too?
Does anyone know of a way to prevent someone from performing the connect
like this?
Is this problem known to Tivoli? If yes, what is being done on this issue?

Any comment is appreciated.


kind regards.

DB2 backup RC=157

2002-05-15 Thread Thomas, Matthew


*SMers,

Our DBAs are having a few problems backing up a DB2 database to a TSM 3590
tape pool via LANfree. There are no errors in the dsmerror.log on the
client, nor any indicated errors in the server actlog, nor any errors in the
NT Event Viewer that could be related.
The storage agent is running fine and not prodg any errors.
When our DBAs run

db2=> backup db dbtest use TSM open 2 sessions

they get an error message in the DB2 logs:

SQL2025N An I/O error '157' occurred on media 'TSM'

In the API messages it merely states that the transaction will be aborted:

In dsmrc.h
#define DSM_RC_WILL_ABORT  157 /* Transaction will be
aborted   */

Which doesn't really indicate what cause the abort. Any ideas/suggestions
appreciated?

Ta,
Matt

I recently upgrade my StorageTek L700 tape library
slot capacity from 216 to 384.  When I tried to add

 Check to see if the activity log contains any error messages. I

How to suppress ANR2963W

2002-05-15 Thread Yury Us


Hi all!
I use SQL in my scripts to determine whether backup finished or not and it
worked OK until few days ago the following message appeared:
ANR2963W This SQL query may produce a very large result table, or may
require a significant amount of time to compute.

Do you wish to proceed? (Yes/No)

The script hangs at this place. Is there way to suppress this message?

Here is a fragment of the script:

 integer  KEEPWAITING;
 READY='0'   # 1 when backlog will have evidence of dbbkp completion
 KEEPWAITING=1 # number of checks of actlog for dbbkp result
 SLEEPPERIOD=900  # 15 minutes

 while [[ $READY != '1' ]] && (( $KEEPWAITING <= 4 ))
 do
  # sql query TSM database for completion code
  echo " select msgno, Message, date_time  from actlog  -
 where date_time>timestamp(current date , '00:00')  and msgno=0985
   " |dsmadmc -id=$ADSM_ADMIN -pa=$ADMIN_PWD -servername=$ADSM_SERV
-displaymode=list |
while read lx

ANE4018E on Linux

2002-05-15 Thread Bob Booth - UIUC


I have been seeing many of these messages when backing up a Linux RH 7.2
client to our AIX 4.2.2 server:

ANE4018E (Session: 1254, Node: .x..xxx)  Error

.
.
.
Continued for hundreds of files all with the same format.

The client is TSM 4.2.2 and this is a ReiserFS.  Is there an option to allow
longer filenames, is there a workaround, or should I proceed with a bug report?

thanks,

Re: NetWare file size restriction error ANE4025E

2002-05-15 Thread Cook, Dwight E


error message manual states this is a restore/retrieve error, not a
backup/archive error...
and from the error manual text it sounds like a Netware client limitation in
that the ID you are operating under isn't allowed to allocate a file that
large (4 GB)
I believe it was in TSM 3.7.2 when it was first stated that TSM will support
any file the OS will so I wouldn't think it would be a TSM
problem/restriction...
(2.) probably need to see the Netware manuals.

Yes, I am having the same problem with the AIX client with a 4.1.3 server. I
am getting it even on short (11 character) names. It is a known "internal
defect" that was fixed in the 5.1 clients. If the 5.1 client for linux is
out you might try that.

I tried the 5.1 AIX client earlier, and ran into IC33548 (Bad file name
because of case mix-ups) plus was told that 5.1 clients are not supported by
my server.

I cannot use any earlier clients because they all exhibit APAR IC32379
("ANS1075E ran out of memory" when there is really plenty of memory
available). I can limp along on these older clients by backing up one
filesystem/filespace at a time, but after 7 months of operation, I still do
not have a proper functional AIX client.

How does Archiving and Backupsets work???

2002-05-15 Thread Etienne Brodeur


When I archive a file space to ARCHIVEPOOL (a primary storage pool) I
can't change the status of the volume to OFFSITE.  Is there a way to
archive files spaces to tape and sent them out without keeping a copy on a
primary storage pool?

In other words I would like my archives to be sent directly to a tape that
will be going to the vault.  Is this possible?  Must I use a backupset to
do this?  I have created a backupset to try it out and I can't tell which
tapes is used with which backupset...  How or where can you track your
backupset volumes?

This is all I get when I query backupsets for the node in question:


Node Name
HAL
Backup Set Name
DOMHAL.502394
Server object ID for the client object
502394
Date/Time
2002-05-04 12:00:08.00
Retention Period

Description
No Description
Device Class Name

It doesn't tell me which volume it is on!!!

BMR TSM restore of W2K client

2002-05-15 Thread Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU

This is from a co-worker doing some DR testing, in this case, restoring a
W2K box, essentially doing BMR

**
I am trying to recreate the restore procedures in the IBM redbook
"Deploying Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows 2000".
The procedure is outlined in the redbook indicated in chapter 6, starting
on page 96.

I am using a Dell, with Raid-5, Windows 2000 advanced server with all
recent service packs.
Server is part of workgroup, not a domain controller. Not in an AD
environment.
TSM 4.2.1.32 client for Windows 2000

I have built a test box, done several backups during the build to mimic a
production server that changes over time.
Wiped partition and recreated new RAID-5 partition with primary and
logical drives

The procedure follows as indicated
hardware set up
install same OS
install service packs
Ensure connectivity with TSM server
Recreate drive partitions
Install and configure TSM
Run TSM
Check consistency of system object
Start TSM and select the restore tab ** At this point in the documentation
there is a tip to change a setting in Edit / Preferences / General. The
setting for Preferences is grayed out, and this tip therefore cannot be
followed
Restore the boot partition (parts a-e followed verbatim, including the no
reboot indication)
Restore the system object.
This is where it gets odd. I am prompted for the Windows 2000 CD with the
error message "Windows File Protection - files that are required for
Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To
maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original version of
these files. Insert your Windows 2000 Advanced server CD now". I have
tried both the Cancel and inserting the CD with the same results
Also, the 3 prompts indicated in 11b (during the restore process) are not
displayed
Restart the system. When the system restarts, message is "\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupt" and the OS does not
start as this is an essential file.The ntoskrnl is in the directory
indicated.

I have tried this several times with the same results.
I am obviously missing something in the procedure, but do not know where
this goes awry. Any help is appreciated.

Re: BMR TSM restore of W2K client

2002-05-15 Thread Prather, Wanda


Our Dells have been coming in with 2 partitions, I think WinNT is installed
in partition 2.

TSM can't deal with the partition information; if it isn't stored in the
registry or in a file, TSM doesn't see it.
Which is why you must recreate any partitioning yourself, before you do the
restores.

One thing you can do to protect yourself:

AFTER you do your restore of the files and the system object, BEFORE you
reboot, just use NOTEPAD to LOOK at the C:\boot.ini file.  Make sure it
points to the partition where you reinstalled WINNT.

I also have seen the message before about  Windows File Protected files; we
also ignored it (I don't understand it - TSM is supposed to be restoring the
Windows File PRotected files, yes?) But it caused no problems here, either.

Can anyone tell me why my activity log has stopped recording.  Best I can

which I believe is from the web interface (which was probably me).  This
happened last night and nothing has been recorded in the activity log
since.  I have lots of room in my database and lots of room in my recovery

HP-UX restore problem

2002-05-15 Thread Thomas Denier


We recently ran into an odd problem restoring files to an HP-UX 11.0
system with 4.1.2.0 client software. The TSM server is at 4.2.1.9 and
runs under OS/390. We received the following error messages:

05/05/02   11:57:26 ANS4025E Error processing '/db/tjfrev6/MUMPS.EXT':
file exceeds user or system file limit
05/05/02   11:57:26 ANS4025E Error processing '/db/tjfrev6/MUMPS.EXT':
file exceeds user or system file limit
05/05/02   12:56:15 ANS4025E Error processing '/db/tjfserv6/MUMPS.EXT':
file exceeds user or system file limit
05/05/02   12:56:15 ANS4025E Error processing '/db/tjfserv6/MUMPS.EXT':
file exceeds user or system file limit

We discovered that each of the restored files was 2,147,483,136 bytes
long. The dsmsched.log entries for the backups of the files were still
around, and showed a length of 2,147,483,647 bytes for each of the files,
which is 511 bytes more than the length of each of the restored files. The
original length turns out to be 2**31-1. The HP-UX administrator contacted
HP, who had him check a variety of system settings. After reviewing the
settings HP was adamant that there was nothing in the system configuration
to prevent TSM from writing files of the original length.

The restore process had one unusual feature. When the files were backed up
/db/tjfrev6 and /db/tjfserv6 were file systems. When the files were restored
/db/tjfrev6 and /db/tjfserv6 were ordinary directories within the /db file
system.

The loss of 511 bytes had no visible effect on the application that used the
files. This is not quite as surprising as it sounds. The application treats
each of its database files as a collection of 2048 byte blocks. The original
length would have included 2047 bytes that did not fit into a block. Even
though we dodged the bullet in this case, we are worried about running into
this problem in the future. Is this a known problem?

Re: Client scheduler

2002-05-15 Thread Rushforth, Tim


Did the resulting change in time on the TSM server mean that the schedules
were now past their startup window?

Eg.
01:00 change time to 04:00
Client schedule is set to start at 02:00 - has 1 hour startup window

In this case, the schedules would be misssed because TSM server was down
(sort of) between 01:00 and 04:00

Re: SHOW VERSION AND UNICODE


Jeff,

Problem1:
undocumented usually means not supported. Same as you cannot complain for
change of undocumented API in Windows kernel by a service pack. And if
SHOW VERSION does not display unicode-enabled flag this does not
automatically mean it is not set.
Problem2:
Try to add NAMEType=UNIcode, i.e.
ren filespace N10713 \\n10713\c$ \\test\c$ namedt=uni
It should work (default is SERVER, i.e. server codepage not unicode)

Two problems with unicode.

Problem 1:
Using the undocumented command SHOW VERSION, i can't see any filespaces
that have FILESPACE UNICODE set to YES. When i run Q FILESPACE nodename *,
i can see the unicode filespace. i.e.

I use SHOW VERSION to look at which management classes are used in backup
versions. I know i can get this from the database tables, but sometimes it
runs for hours and locks the TSM server.

Problem 2:
When i try to rename a filespace with unicode=yes, it fails with message:

Are you able using "dd if=/dev/zero" to create file of this size. If you

We discovered that each of the restored files was 2,147,483,136 bytes
long. The dsmsched.log entries for the backups of the files were still
around, and showed a length of 2,147,483,647 bytes for each of the files,
which is 511 bytes more than the length of each of the restored files. The
original length turns out to be 2**31-1. The HP-UX administrator contacted
HP, who had him check a variety of system settings. After reviewing the
settings HP was adamant that there was nothing in the system configuration
to prevent TSM from writing files of the original length.

The restore process had one unusual feature. When the files were backed up
/db/tjfrev6 and /db/tjfserv6 were file systems. When the files were
restored
/db/tjfrev6 and /db/tjfserv6 were ordinary directories within the /db file
system.

The loss of 511 bytes had no visible effect on the application that used
the
files. This is not quite as surprising as it sounds. The application
treats
each of its database files as a collection of 2048 byte blocks. The
original
length would have included 2047 bytes that did not fit into a block. Even
though we dodged the bullet in this case, we are worried about running
into
this problem in the future. Is this a known problem?

Re: How does Archiving and Backupsets work???


You cannot mark primary stgpool volume as offsite. As per the
help/Reference Guide:
"3. This value is valid only for volumes in copy storage pools."
You cannot overcome the TSM design. Still can use MOVe MEDia
OVFLOcation='Your off-site vault'.
However think twice is this what you want good enough! You are talking
about archives, i.e. long-term storage. And what if tape ages and gets
unreadable or courier drop it and is broken?! That is the idea behind
primary and copy pools. And you can check out primary pools from the
library if are short on slots.
Backupsets are again providing you same non-duplicate (not secured)
scenario. Their main goal is quick restore not long-term archiving.

Subject:How does Archiving and Backupsets work???

When I archive a file space to ARCHIVEPOOL (a primary storage pool) I
can't change the status of the volume to OFFSITE.  Is there a way to
archive files spaces to tape and sent them out without keeping a copy on a
primary storage pool?

In other words I would like my archives to be sent directly to a tape that
will be going to the vault.  Is this possible?  Must I use a backupset to
do this?  I have created a backupset to try it out and I can't tell which
tapes is used with which backupset...  How or where can you track your
backupset volumes?

This is all I get when I query backupsets for the node in question:


Node Name
HAL
Backup Set Name
DOMHAL.502394
Server object ID for the client object
502394
Date/Time
2002-05-04 12:00:08.00
Retention Period
365
Description
No Description
Device Class Name
LTOCLASSOFF


It doesn't tell me which volume it is on!!!

Scheduler on Solaris stops responding

2002-05-15 Thread Bob Booth - UIUC


I have had a strange problem that has been following two our our Solaris
boxes.  They are both running 5.8 and I had one of the boxes upgrade to
TSM 4.2.2.  We fire up the scheduler, and it runs normally, once, then it
stops responding.  Netstat shows that the scheduler is listening on 1501, but
the connection from the server times out.  If the scheduler is restarted,
it runs, but only once.

The sched log and error log don't show any errors.  Anyone seen this problem?

We run tons of Sun boxes the same way, with 4.1.3 TSM clients, and they don't
seem to have a problem.  We don't have any firewalls to/from the server.

Server is AIX 4.3.3, running TSM 4.2.2.  Clients are 4.1.3 and 4.2.2.

Got me swinging.

thanks in advance!

Re: Client scheduler


TSM server had MST and I changed to EST, CUT -5, but the result was
wrong one. So, I went to SMIT on AIX and changed time only without
rebooting again. It looked fine and TSM was getting the right time.
You're probably right on that, but I don't know how to calculate the
difference in time. Do baclients need to be restarted after TSM server
having been rebooted ? If not, as you said, I'll wait tonight to see if
client schedules work. I just want to make sure that I don' need to do
anything else. Thanks for your help.

Did the resulting change in time on the TSM server mean that the
schedules
were now past their startup window?

Eg.
01:00 change time to 04:00
Client schedule is set to start at 02:00 - has 1 hour startup window

In this case, the schedules would be misssed because TSM server was
down
(sort of) between 01:00 and 04:00

I made sure of no session and no process running and disabled sessions

Hi, Krastev,
I'm sorry that I'm sending this urgent mail. I don't have nobody to

zone change. Then I noticed all the client schedules missed. I tested
restarting baclient on one of client node and its event worked, but not
others. When it reaches the scheduled time, it gives status msg
'pending'. Do all baclients need to be restarted to pick up the new time
and start their regular schedules? Thanks for help.

Tuning TSM

2002-05-15 Thread Ignacio Vidal


Hi:
I'm managing a pretty small TSM installation with 4 RS/6K machines (2
6M1 and 2 6H1) running AIX 4.3.3 (ML9).
TSM software consists of the server (running in a 6M1 - 7Gb RAM), and
the clients running in the same machine and on the others.

I´ve got the following situation:
- the total of data backed up is about 200Gb's,
- 4 servers are connected using gigabit ethernet links (and have 6Gb RAM
and 7Gb RAM each model 6H1 and 6M1 respectively)
- TSM uses a storage pool of 240Gb on FastT500 disks (those are
connected by FC channels)
- TSM uses a 3581 library (LTO) with 1 drive,

The fact is (for the same set of information):
When I do an archive backup operation with TSM, the time elapsed rounds
5 hours (TSM writes "right to" the tape).
When I do an incremental backup operation, TSM uses about 6:30hs for it
(TSM writes to storage pool).

I'm looking for a rational approach to solve this "problem": isn't it
more fast writing to storage pool (disk) that to tape?

Anyone had the same performance problem?

Is it really a performance problem?

I would like some commentaries about this, I can provide some info about
the configuration of TSM and the AIX servers.

Regards

Ignacio

Re: Tuning TSM

2002-05-15 Thread lt

Hi,
 Be sure to set "ALL" parameters for the nic cards correctly to match the 
ports on the switches.
 Ensure that "ALL" 'no options' are set correctly for your environment.

Example:
 AIX 433_ML_08:
  100MB ethernet nic cards have the xmit/recieve buffer pools maxed out
  100MB ethernet nic cards have the speed/duplex set to match switch ports
  'no options' are set via an /etc/rc.{filename} & called via 
/etc/inittab via:
  rctunenet:2:wait:/etc/rc.tunenet > /dev/console 2>&1 #Tune Network Parms
   example:
/etc/rc.tunenet
 if [ -f /usr/sbin/no ]
 then
 thewall=$(/usr/sbin/no -o thewall | awk '{ print $3 }')
 if [ $thewall -lt 4096 ]
 then
 /usr/sbin/no -d thewall
 else
 print thewall is set to $thewall - left as is
 fi
 /usr/sbin/no -d thewall
 /usr/sbin/no -d sb_max
 /usr/sbin/no -o tcp_sendspace=$thewall
 /usr/sbin/no -o tcp_recvspace=$thewall
 /usr/sbin/no -o udp_sendspace=64000
 /usr/sbin/no -o udp_recvspace=64000
 /usr/sbin/no -o net_malloc_police=32768
 /usr/sbin/no -o tcp_mssdflt=1452
 /usr/sbin/no -o ipqmaxlen=150
 /usr/sbin/no -o rfc1323=1
 fi
 print "Network parameters tuned..."
 By allowing AIX_ML_08 to "figure out" the best settings for 
thewall/sb_max, no -d thewall/sb_max, I do not have to go thru the issue 
of calculating it anymore!!!
 Having gone thru the above scenario, my 100MB ethernet cloud performs 
at, a minimum, 10MB/sec. A lot of the network traffic is logged at: 
11MB/sec.
 We are now implementing a GIG ethernet network and I am looking forward 
to working with it as well.

Re: Client scheduler

2002-05-15 Thread Gerald Wichmann


I would recommend doing basic troubleshooting.. check the TSM server
activity log around the time the backup window occurred (e.g. -> q act
startt=01:00). What was the TSM server doing if not backing anyone up? Was
it trying to contact the clients and failing to (there would be repeated
"contacting client blahblah" msgs if it was). Is there nothing there except
a "client XX missed backup window" at the end of the window?

Ditto check the dsmsched.log on some of the clients. What were they doing
around the supposed backup time? It should say clearly when they got their
last schedule and what it was.

Are your clients in prompted or polling mode? The reason for the missed
backups could vary depending on what mode you use. If polling, what was the
interval the clients poll at (default is 12 hours)?

By looking at the logs you should be easily able to determine if it was a
connectivity problem or if the clients simply missed their schedules due to
an error in timing. You should also be able to see if the clients are
receiving the schedules and what time they individually think they're
supposed to being their backups. Some basic troubleshooting goes a long
way..
