Probably the default is NO to make the current behaviour of MOVE DATA consistent with older versions, where the reconstruct option did not exists and where MOVE DATA did not reconstruct aggregates.

Re: RMAN error
Neil, how do you deal with setting up the archiving for the redo logs? Our DBAs elected to go CRON all the way, because they were hung up on trying to use the scheduler to test the thresholds every ten minutes. They didn't want to use a number of schedulers to run the hot/full, hot/incr and the archiving to avoid the scheduler being busy doing one thing when it needed to be doing something else. They also didn't want some things running in Oracle's CRON and some by the TSM admin from the central scheduler, for simplicity's sake. Just curious how ya'll dealt with this. thanks lisa Neil Rasmussen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] COM> cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Subject: Re: RMAN error Dist Stor Manager" 07/27/2002 12:57 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" I have here our preferred method for starting Rman with the TSM Scheduler: When using the TSM scheduler to automate the TDP Oracle backups, the differences in how these two clients work must be taken into account. - The scheduler runs as root and would need passwordaccess generate. - The TDP Oracle backup runs as an Oracle user and need passwordaccess prompt. Since the TDP client requires passwordaccess prompt, automating the TSM scheduler process on the client machine often encounters various issues. The following steps should assist with clarifying how to setup this type of configuration for a working environment. To setup the TSM Scheduler for the TDP Oracle node, it is critical that the password for the node on the TSM Server be set so that the password will not expire. Then setup the TDP Oracle to use PasswordAccess prompt and setup the TSM Scheduler (for the tdp oracle backup) to use PasswordAccess generate. To use only one dsm.sys file, ensure there is a symbolic link to this single dsm.sys file so it can be seen from the API directory (/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin) and the TDP can find and use this dsm.sys. In this one dsm.sys file, there will normally be more than one ServerName stanza when using the TDP Oracle on the same machine. One ServerName stanza for the filesystem backups and another ServerName stanza for the TDP Oracle backups (which need passwordaccess prompt). To assist with setting up the TSM Scheduler for the TDP Oracle node, you would need to create a third ServerName stanza in this dsm.sys file. In general, the dsm.sys file would be similar to the following: servername TSMbackup COMMMETHOD tcpip TCPServeraddressxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx TCPPORT1500 NODENAME Client PASSWORDACCESSgenerate servername TSMOracle COMMMETHOD tcpip TCPServeraddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx TCPPORT1500 PASSWORDACCESSprompt servername TDPSched COMMMETHOD tcpip TCPServeraddressxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx TCPPORT1500 NODENAME TDPNode PASSWORDACCESSgenerate You would have three dsm.opt files. One for the Backup/Archive client that would normally be located in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin directory. Based on the dsm.sys example above, this would contain the line: servername TSMbackup There would be a second dsm.opt file (which could have a different filename, such as dsmoracle.opt) for the TDP for Oracle. Based on the dsm.sys example this user option file for the Oracle client would contain the line: servername TSMOracle and would have passwordaccess prompt. There would be a third dsm.opt file (which could have a different filename, such as dsmsched.opt) for the TDP for Oracle scheduler. Based on the dsm.sys example this user option file for the Oracle client would contain the line: servername TDPSched and would have passwordaccess generate and have the NodeName for the TDP Oracle client specified. Environment variables would need to be utilized with the Oracle backup to point to the user option file. This would be specified in the TDPO_OPTFILE with the DSMI_ORC_CONFIG variable. For example: DSMI_ORC_CONFIG /opt/tivol/tsm/client/oracle/bin/dsmoracle.opt When starting the TSM Scheduler for the TDP Oracle backups, you will need to use the -SErvername parameter and specify which stanza should be used. Based on the example dsm.sys the scheduler command would be such as: dsmc sched -SE=TDPSched For the TDP backup, the script file for the command schedule backup will be launched by the scheduler daemon. Then within the command script launch the RMAN backup script. Regards, Neil Rasmussen Software Development TDP for Oracle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Minimizing Database Utilization
TSM 4.2.1.7 running on AIX 4.3.3 Database is 8GB, 66.2% utilized. DBVols are on an ESS shark. We have an application server that the admins would like to backup on the TSM server. The problem is, after I analyzed the backup needs of this one server, my database would grow an additional 300GB, and increase in size an additional 50-100MB each day (in actuality, it may be an additional 66% growth because I can't recall if I calculated my copy storage pool needs). They have a folder on this server (NT4.0 running a PACS system, by Fujimed, I think) that contain over 240K+ files, each file in it's own folder (so 240K+ folders) each uniquely named, never changing, and almost all of the files less than 1K in data size. There are other similar folders on this server that would significantly increase the size of the database, but not as much as this one folder. I based the increase in DB size on the "600k of database space per object stored by TSM" rule. I told the admin there would be no way I could back that data up unless he created a zip file (or something similar) of all those directories/files first. He is looking into this possibility. Is there any other way to do this without increasing the size of my database more than the size of the files being backed up (what is that... 3 million times more?)? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi .. at all, I have a problem while define a DLT Tape Library 35/70 "Compaq". I'm using TSM 5.1.1.0 under Windows 2000. I can define the library with 2 tape drives, but the library only see 7 slots, (and the library have 15 slots) I can to define the tape drives with element 1 and 2. I looking in the http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/devices/atab65.htm for same information, and I find that DLT Tape Library use the element numbre 128 and 129 (for two drives). When I need to change the element number for 128 the TSM say 'Invalid Number' I appreciate very much for your helps Thank and best reagrds.

Re: Migration transaction aborted
TSM is very good about recovering from such things with its comit-rollback logic. The files that didn't make it onto the tape, including the one which was in the process of being copied when the error occured, were not deleted from the disk storage pool. TSM was designed to survive a power failure crash and not lose anything. When it says "some tranactions may fail", it means that it will try those transactions again later. But nothing is lost; this is an area of basic good design where TSM truly shines. To clean things up, you might want to MOVE DATA on the tape in question. If that succeeds, the tape itself is probably good, and MOVE DATA will return it to the scratch pool. If MOVE DATA fails, you've got a bad tape, which you will need to recreate from the copy storage pool. You might not even need to do anything, because if this failure occured partway through filling this tape, it is only partly full, and therefore it will likely be reclaimed very soon.

TDP's (RMAN and DOMINO).
All, Two questions to ask regarding experiences with API's. I'd like some feedback if possible before pursuing PMR's and Enhancement Requests.. RMAN for Oracle.. When 'cach migrated files' is set a primary disk pool, RMAN is unable to work out 'real space' in the the pool when 'caching' is relatively high. This results in failures of RMAN backups. Local fix --Turn off disk caching in Primary pool. We like to have one primary backup pool to service Backup and Rman , and one primary archive pool on disk. The backup pool we want cached where possible (which currently cant be achieved on servers using RMAN). The KISS principle applies here... We do not want to segregate down to further storage pools. Is anyone else seeing this , and would you like to see it resolved TDP for Domino.. We are using W2L on X Series IBM H/w as a platform for this.. We devolve the restoration to the 'mail team' who have some serious issues with the GUI, and are having to 'resort' to the command line to achieve restores. I quote from the team ... Hopefully you are aware of the limitation of the GUI and in particular that it only allows overwrite restores. We need the capability to restore to a separate location and the current practice of PC DUO and command line driven restores is unacceptable. One of the issues that is causing GUI problems is too many mailboxes for the m/c's memory space.. Tivoli stated this would be addressed at the next PTF for Domino..

Re: Adventures sharing/connecting 3494 ATL to TSM AIX system
OK, You have to put the CA-1 exit in to ignore the open systems tapes first. You define the ATL in TSM and that is where you set the category codes for TSM. Lets say you choose 300 for privates, 301 for 3490 scratchs, then automatically 3590 gets 302. You have to enable the 3590 function in the TSM server options. When you insert the tapes into the library the OS390 system will not register them with the exit in place. They will remain FF00. Use the TSM LABEL command to checkin and label the tapes at the same time. Do not use CHECKIN for unlabeled tapes. If you have inserted the tapes in the library and need to get them out. Use the MTLIB command to change its category to the IO station category and the tapes will eject (cannot remember that but it is something like FFFD). You have apparently configured the LAN address in the Library Manager for the AIX host. Send me a response if you have anymore questions. My presentation on WWW.SHARE.ORG may help. See Paul D.

Never having done this kind of configuration before, we are having lots of issues and questions. Existing configuration is a 3494 ATL with 6-3490 and 8-3590 ESCON attached drives, up until now only used by our OS/390 system. We have installed 3-3590E1A drives with FC connections to an existing SAN. This part seems to be working since the SAN configuration tools see the drives, just fine. At first they wouldn't work since IBM left the devices with no addresses/offline. Fixed that. However we still have a call into IBM to see what else they might have left configured incorrectly.

LM has been configured with the IP (private) address and name of the TSM AIX box/server (running latest, V5.1).

Yet we can't access the tape drives since we can't seem to configure the 3590 drives as being part of the ATL (any suggestions would be helpful !!). Also, we seem to have some issues with the CATEGORY ? This too is unfamiliar to us since we have never had to deal with this. Earlier attempts at getting the TSM AIX server to mount/initialize a tape we inserted into the ATL issued: ANR8846E Volume 07 is assigned to a category that does not belong to library 3494ATL. So, some of my questions: 1. How does one control the CATEGORY assigned to tapes we stick into the ATL. As for the OS390 side, CA-1 won't let those tapes be used by it since it is outside of the controlled ranged. Also, since OS390 does recognize the tape as being inserted, I planned to just manually update the SMS info for these tapes to mark them as all being PRIVATE. Anything wrong with this idea ? I took the default Private (300) and Scratch (301) categories when defining the ATL. 2. Do I need to LABEL all of the tapes I insert for these drives to use ? 3. Do I still have to go through the CHECKIN process eventhough it is in an ATL ? 4. Is there something on the Library Manager that needs to be configured to control access to the 3590-FC tapes (these are the only "K" type drives we have and thus should be the only devices that use the "K" tapes).

Thanks. Rodolfo, Make sure you are at the latest version of TDP for Domino (1.1.2). RC155 means that the you asked for the database to be compressed and it failed because it grew during compression. TDP for Domino 1.1.2 has code that will retry the backup non-compressed in that situation. This was fixed in APAR IC29610: A backup of a database or a transaction log fails because the data grows during compression. The code has been changed so that the database or transaction log backup will be retried without compression. Note: The backup is retried only if the COMPRESSAlways option is set to NO. To avoid the problem, use something like this: EXCLUDE.COMPRESSION mail6\user1.nsf.* (make sure you put the "*" at the end) The 1.1.2 of the User's Guide explains this in more detail.

Are you referring to the "file grew with compression and unable to allocate additional space" problem when going to cached diskpools ? ? ? If so, run with client settings "compression yes" "compressalways no", if the file grows with compression it will be sent uncompressed. (famous last words...) Had this bite me in the @$$ with TDP/R3... because they switched and started to ignore the client's compressalways setting. in TDP/R3 3.2.0.11 they have started to pre-allocate at 110% actual client size over on the tsm server and generally this is enough to cover files that grow with compression... IN THE EVENT this isn't enough, there is an environment variable XINT_TSMOFFSET which has a default value of 10 (the extra 10% of pre-allocation to occur) I don't know if the Domino agent ignores the client's compressalways setting like the TDP/R3... and if it does, I don't know if Tivoli is going to roll out this XINT_TSMOFFSET environment variable... Uhmmm, this environment variable is in a Unix client environment... Try checking your "compressalways" setting and if it is no/off, try it with on/yes and see if that works to let you get back to using a cached diskpool... remember, you'll need a run or two to get the diskpool filled back with cached copies of files before you can really know if things will work or not. Dwight -Original Message- From: Bruce Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 5:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TDP's (RMAN and DOMINO). All, Two questions to ask regarding experiences with API's. I'd like some feedback if possible before pursuing PMR's and Enhancement Requests.. RMAN for Oracle.. When 'cach migrated files' is set a primary disk pool, RMAN is unable to work out 'real space' in the the pool when 'caching' is relatively high. This results in failures of RMAN backups. Local fix --Turn off disk caching in Primary pool. We like to have one primary backup pool to service Backup and Rman , and one primary archive pool on disk. The backup pool we want cached where possible (which currently cant be achieved on servers using RMAN). The KISS principle applies here... We do not want to segregate down to further storage pools. Is anyone else seeing this , and would you like to see it resolved TDP for Domino.. We are using W2L on X Series IBM H/w as a platform for this.. We devolve the restoration to the 'mail team' who have some serious issues with the GUI, and are having to 'resort' to the command line to achieve restores. I quote from the team ... Hopefully you are aware of the limitation of the GUI and in particular that it only allows overwrite restores. We need the capability to restore to a separate location and the current practice of PC DUO and command line driven restores is unacceptable. One of the issues that is causing GUI problems is too many mailboxes for the m/c's memory space.. Tivoli stated this would be addressed at the next PTF for Domino..

Backup stalled
I had a large backup running last night writing directly to tape. In the morning the process to backup onsite tapes to the offsite copy started. That process was waiting on the tape being written by the client backup. But the client backup was stalled, i.e. it was no longer sending data to the tsm server and a q sessions showed the backup in a RecvW state. Any ideas on how to diagnose what caused the stall condition or how to fix it? David

Re: TSM storage problem
Just a guess.. could the size of data you are trying to backup is greater than Storage? Like backing up file size which is greater than what's available.

Re: diskpool performance
The disk storage pools need to be RAID-1+. It's "other people's data" and you are responsible for it, from the moment it is backed up from their client systems. As you have discovered, performance is not good with anything other than RAID-1. The Database and the Log also need to be RAID-1. (Mirrored by TSM or the OS or something) I tried striping (RAID-10, in effect) my TSM database, and caused a performance disaster that I had to back out of fast. The Log might survive RAID-5 without any performance penalty; I haven't tried it. Just remember that the Log is strictly write-only until disaster recovery becomes necessary.

Re: Failed Domino TDP Backups
Del, Thanks for your help. I have tried setting CompressAlways = YES and the backup last night went alright. I have verified the integrity of the backup by restoring a mail file that was failing before. It was ok. Do you think setting CompressAlways=YES might make my backups unreliable, considering when it was set to NO, there were a lot of mailfiles that were failing backups, about 10%? Would you still recommend I do EXCLUDE.COMPRESSION mail6\user1.nsf.* I assume that this is fixed on 1.1.2. I might upgrade very soon.

Thanks. Rodolfo, Make sure you are at the latest version of TDP for Domino (1.1.2). RC155 means that the you asked for the database to be compressed and it failed because it grew during compression. TDP for Domino 1.1.2 has code that will retry the backup non-compressed in that situation. This was fixed in APAR IC29610: A backup of a database or a transaction log fails because the data grows during compression. The code has been changed so that the database or transaction log backup will be retried without compression. Note: The backup is retried only if the COMPRESSAlways option is set to NO. To avoid the problem, use something like this: EXCLUDE.COMPRESSION mail6\user1.nsf.* (make sure you put the "*" at the end) The 1.1.2 of the User's Guide explains this in more detail. Thanks, Del Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Never cut what can be untied. - Commit yourself to constant improvement.

Re: Minimizing Database Utilization
Consider the possibility that you are not expiring well enough, which could be causing database bloat. (Not to mention tape storage pool bloat.) How long does your expiration process take? Does it seem to never end? If so, you may be in an expiration bound death spiral. If you are having trouble with expiration as it is, you are in no position to take on an additional large client system, as was the start of this thread. Dramatically lengthening expiration process run times are a true sign that a TSM server is out of gas, and needs an upgrade just for its present workload, not to mention adding more work to it.
