authentication with passwordaccess set to generate

2002-05-27 Thread Herbert L|cke 

Hi all,

i'm running an OS390/Unix System Services BA Client (TSM 4.2.0). The
paswordaccess-option in the dsm.sys-file is set to 'generate'.
I've changed the password for the USS BA client using 'update node' and
restarted the client-scheduler.
Since that time, the authentication with the server fails.
I don't know the generated old password because it's encrypted in the
tsm.pwd-file.
Is there a way to retrieve the old password from the tsm.pwd-file or what
else can I do?


Thanks a lot,

Herbert

Re: big data pool volumes

2002-05-27 Thread Michael Benjamin 

Perform an errpt -a -j21F54B38 and provide more information regarding the
disk errors, are they TEMP or PERM errors?

It shows up at: http://www-aix.gsi.de/~hocks/aix.errpt.codes.html as a
permanent disk error, which is not good. A bad block
relocation is regarded as a TEMP error.

21F54B38 DISK_ERR1 PERM H DISK OPERATION ERROR

It's possible you have a failing drive and this is affecting the TSM
database? Without more information this is speculative...

I would ensure I had a current dbbackup, and consider relocating the
database to another set of disks; if you
are in fact having drive errors, you risk TSM database corruption.

Re: NT Script to check for failed backups

2002-05-27 Thread Regelin Michael (CHA) 

Hi Jean-Baptiste,

I'm really interested in your script. We are backuping about 50 NT servers
and our only procedures is to catch information manually from the TSM
server.

However, we are soon applying a check within the TSM server that will show
us if the backup failed or succeed.

But i'm very interested in your solution. Could it be possible to look at
the scripts.

Thank's

Mike

Hello,


use WSH 5.6 and with the RUN method execute the dsmc command
to backup your data. Result of the execution will be 0 if everything
ok and >0 if an error did occur. That way it will be possible to
send you a mail. If you're interested in the scripts write me back.

Re: authentication with passwordaccess set to generate

2002-05-27 Thread Claudia Mºller 

you changed the password on the server but the client still only knows the
password in his encrypted local file.
You have to login 1 time on the client and type in the new password - the one
you typed using update node.

Backup retention period

2002-05-27 Thread Ruksana Siddiqui 

Hi,

I just started working with TSM but can someone tell me how can I find the
retention period of the backup I have done.

I have done a particular backup and wanted to have it for atleast 3 months -
is there anyway I tell TSM to hold it for 3 months or can I actually check
how long TSM was configured to hold the data.

Any help is highly appreciated.

With regards,
Ruksana Siddiqui

Re: Backup retention period

2002-05-27 Thread Zlatko Krastev 

The backup would stay there undefinitely if the content does not change.
If it changes and a new backup is performed the copy you've just becomes
obsolete and according to copygroup settings will expire some day. To
ensure it would not be before three months have passed set
VEREXIST=NOLimit and RETExtra=92.
To become familiar with TSM (which is more evolved than competitive
products) I highly recommend you to have a look at nice redbook "Tivoli
Storage Management Concepts" - SG24-4877-02
(http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/). This would save you many headaches.

Estimated Capacity

2002-05-27 Thread Wolfgang Herkenrath 

Hi *SM'ers,

I have one Question about the estimated capacity for deviceclass definition.

TSM V4 R1 on OS390 2.8  with 3494 tapelibrary and 3590 Magstar Cartridge.

As far as I know the normal capacity of one 3590 Magstar cratridge is 10 GB. With 
compaction the capacity is 30 GB.
The compaction for the dataclas wich manages my magstar tapes is activated.

At my device-class wich belong to this cartridges I have the estimated capacity set to 
9 GB.

So, if I think about these setting I belief that I don't use the full capacity of my 
tapes.

Before I set the estimated capacity to 27 GB: Are there any expiriences about the real 
compaction of data on tape? To wich value I can set the estimated cpacity without 
runnign into trouble?

TIA
Wolfgang

Moving tape(s) from a library to other one

2002-05-27 Thread Krzysztof Kus 

Hi!

 Is it possible to move one tape (or subset of stg) from one library
to other one (with the same kind of drives)? I'm trying to imagine how
to restore particular node data in any case of library outage.

Since now I've found out that I can check out all tapes from the stg,
update devclass to point to the second library and check the tapes into
the second library.

Will it work? What will happen if the first library is not accessible
any more?

TSM Server -to backup in round robin fashion----------------HELP REQUIRED!!!!

2002-05-27 Thread Prashant R Gadikar 

Hi ,

We have a scenario where in there are 10 servers (TSM Clients) need to do
the backup, we don't want to run schedules as there is no consistency in
the data each server is backing up everyday. To explain e.g. server A on
day one have 50 GB to backup and next day it might not have anything to
backup,in this scenario server B should start the backup immediately if
Server B has nothing to backup then Server C and so on.

IE Explorer for TSM Admin: Event window is horizontally too small

My event window is not horizontally long enough to see the event messages.

I am using the smallest text type.

How can I get the event window to expand to see the whole event message
length??


ps-on my WinNT 4 wrkstn, the event window would expand to see most of the
event message length!

Multiple filespaces for one disk volume

2002-05-27 Thread Tomáš Hrouda 

Hi all,

due to some imports of archive and backup data I have now three filespaces
for one volume at one of my nodes, for example:
\\node\e$... this is original filespace
\\node\e1... these two FS comes with imnports of E:\ data
\\node\e2...

Question: is any way to join these three filespaces to one \\node\e$ ? All
three filespaces are seen through BAclient GUI and it looks a little
disruptive.
Any idea?

Thanks, Tom

longer exists on the client node
  Retain Extra Versions How many days to keep inactive backup versions;
the days are

Re: trace manual backup

Fabio,
I don't know if I understand correctly your question, but if you want to
see log files and traces on a TSM Client machine (if those machines are
servers for other applications TSM doesn't care) you would need these
files:

dsmerror.log
dsmsched.log
dsm.opt
dsm.sys (if unix)
TSM server activity log (See QUERY ACTLOG)

Re: trace a log on NT/2000 manuals backup

2002-05-27 Thread Gianluca Perilli 

To trace a W-NT/2000 if you didn't have turn the tracing option on in the
client, you can search for the files: dsmsched.log (client), dsmerr.log
(client),server activity log (server).
If you want more details you have to turn the tracing option on in the
dsm.opt file of the client (adding to the dsm.opt "tracefile" specifying
the full path name of the log file you prefer).

TDP for Exchange

Hi all,

I installed and I configured TDP for Exchange in a server Windows 2000 after 
restarting the server, the same it didn't come back and its base of data was rotten.
The fact of me has just installed TDP it could have caused damages to the file of the 
base?
I installed same TDP in another servers Exchange and I never had problems equal to 
this.

Re: TDP for Exchange and TSM sizing

23.3 GB Database, 179 logs created in 1 day - 895 MB

We do fulls mon-fri, incrementals on weekends.

On 5.5 a significant amount of time is spent replaying the Exchange logs

Subject: TDP for Exchange and TSM sizing


We are planning to convert out mail from Groupwise to Exchange 2000 and are
trying to estimate the load to TSM.   We have 2000 users on Groupwise and a
database of about 70 GB.   We are told to expect the Exchange to be three
time larger or about 200GB.

>From what I've read about TDP for Exchange we can choose to do fulls, then
either perform differentials or incremental on the log until the next full.
How big is the log compared to the database?

Some input we have received is to expect the whole database to be backed up,
which makes no sense to me.  Otherwise the TDP Exchange agent is worthless.
We have a 60 day retention policy for our mail and the implications to our
tape usage would be too much if we have to backup the whole thing.

Can anyone share the size of the Exchange database and how much log space
changes.  Please let me know whether you've chosen to use differential or
incremental and how often you do fulls.

Re: Backup retention period

2002-05-27 Thread Zlatko Krastev 

Ruksana,

the method TSM usilizes is "keep several copies, check to limits, if any
limit is reached delete oldest copy"
So if you have set 31 versions and perform backups weekly last version
would be 31 weeks old. But if you set at the same time versions to stay
for 31 days you will have no more than 5 (sixth would be more than 31 days
and would be "expired").
Most recent copy ("active" one) would stay forever until you delete the
file. At that time next pair of limits (VERDELETED and RETONLY) would take
care of the copies.
