Gerhard,
yes : "ANR7837S Internal error LOGSEG871 detected" indicates full log space.
Here is our receipt:
-prepare a new logvolume (100 MB are enough) : dsmfmt -m -log
'new_log-vol-name' 100
-start the Server with :
cd $DSMSERV_DIR
dsmserv extend log 'new_log-vol-name' 100
TSM Server starts and performs log-extension,
Recovery log analysis, Recovery log redo and Recovery log undo
(duration: 1/2 to an hour - at our site (similar size);-).
Then the server halts itself.
Before you start the server in normal environment,
start with 'DISABLESCHEDS YES' in the server.opt file
(disables admin and client schedules)
and perform a database backup.
Now the server can be started in normal environment ('DISABLESCHEDS NO').
With 5 GB log space i asume you run in 'ROLLFORWARD' mode,
so adjust your DATABASEBACKUP TRIGGER.
We use 8 GB log space and are now at 50% LOGFULL Percentage
to fire an incremental DB backup.
Hope it helps

Re: How have you got your fiber-attached LTO drives connected to your TSM server?
One consideration to make here is that the IBM recommendation for Fibre LTO drives is no more the 2 per HBA. Although taking into consideration that this was with LTO1 drives on 1Gb FC HBAs, I would assume you could get away with up to four LTO1 drives per 2Gb FC HBA, but only 2 LTO2 drives per 2Gb FC HBAs. Another consideration is that you should isolate tape only traffic to the HBA's serving the drives. Ideally you could have a separate zone on your san switches to serve exactly this purpose (or even have dedicated switches for serving the tape drives should costs allow). As for the ideal of switches or hubs... You should definately go for switches and not hubs. A switch will let you run pretty much full bandwidth across all connected devices whereas a hub is just a looping device so your max throughput is the speed of the SAN, eg 2Gb per second. Hope this provides you with some more food for thought!

IBM3570 Magstar MP Barcode Type ?
Hello, I am looking at using a hand-held barcode reader to audit all the Magstar MP tapes that my company has. The supplier of the hand-held device has asked me what barcode type do the MP tapes use ? I have no idea, and cannot find any reference to the type used in any of the 3570 manuals. Does anyone out there know what barcode type/standard the Magstar MP tapes use ? Thanks in advance for any help.

4.2.2.12 to 5.1.0.0 upgrade and PATHS
Hi TSMers Ok, my questions about the 4.2 to 5.1 upgrade are prolly getting boring, but I always like to make sure I've asked every silly question I can so as not to get caught out. So, next week I'm going from 4.2.2.12 to 5.1.6.2 on a Solaris 2.7 node. I understand that PATHS are a new feature (or complication) of 5.1 but want to know if, after upgrade I HAVE to define these. I was speaking to an IBM rep the other day and he said yes, but I have heard others say they didn't have to do it (sorry to keep hastling you Gary). Our setup is one tcp attached 3494 library with two scsi 3590 tape drives. I'm surprised that the upgrade would not see these devices already set up and create the paths accordingly. Anyone got a definte answer here. Also, looking at the quick-start guide on the 5.1.0.0 media, it doesn't mention paths. The Admin guide does, but not the quick start. mm Anyway, thanks for any pointers Farren Minns - John Wiley & Sons Ltd * This email transmission is confidential and intended for the person or organisation it is addressed to.

How to check exit-code pre- and postschedule commands?
Hello, TSM-server AIX 5.1 and TSM 4.2.2.8 TSM-clients Windows and UNIX For some clients we are working with pre- and postschedule commands. It sometimes happens, for some reason, a post-schedule command is not executed correctly and not executed at all. In the dsmsched.log the exit code is not 0. On server-site you see nothing at all and you don't know the post is not executed correctly, but f.i. a database is not started, so we have a problem. I'm wondering how other administrators are checking the exit-codes of pre- and postscheduled commands. Is there a way to do this without checkin the client logfiles?

Upgrade TSM 32-bit to 64-bit
I am running TSM 5.1.7.1 on an RS/6000 B80 using 32-bit. We will be getting a new p650 server and would like to move to 64-bit. All the TSM storage pools and database/log volumes are on a separate disk drawer that would move to the new p650 system. I was going to install 5.1.7.1 on the new system, import the VG's and as long as the DSMSERV.DSK and DSMSERV.OPT files point where they are supposed to things should come right up. Now I would like to make the p650 instal 64-bit, mostly because it will come pre-installed with AIX 5.2. Can I install the TSM server 64-bit code and use the same database/log volumes or do I need to restore the database using the 64-bit system?

Different problems related to TSM5.2.0.X
Hi, Maybe has anyone of you the same problems. Environment 1: 2 * win2k TSM V5.2.0.1 servers sharing a library (S.A.N. Attached 3584Lib). This was upgraded from TSM 5.1.7.1. Starting as of the upgrade performance went down on the web interface and admin command line (windows client / linux is fine) Further more canceling restore sessions brought the TSM server down with a core dump. Further more, for those who like it, the dateformat 2 will not work anymore. At this time we were building a new environment (other physical location). There will be a Netapp filer, which we want to back-up with NDMP and use file level restore available as of TSM 5.2 Environment 2: 2 * win2k TSM V5.2.0.2 servers sharing a library (S.A.N. Attached 3584lib). The previous mentioned Web and Admin client problems are still there, as is the dateformat 2. Restore problem could be there (we haven't tested that yet). But, a new problem has come up. For some reason the TSM servers will FREEZE. At first we hold the database back-up which has started when all drive were in use by migration (diskpool overrun) and back-up stg tape - copypool. Today it seems to be unrelated to the database back-up and the number of available drives, it froze when only one migration, one backup tape- copy and one back-up job were running, with plenty of available tape drives. The sad part is that in the actlog, or anywhere else for that matter, nothing is logged why this is happening. Show deadlock says "No deadlock" found. For this moment: - Call for Restore Problem: -closed, work around in place (not killing restore jobs); - Call for FREEZE: - output on request send to Tivoli Support and today the call upgraded to higher prio; - Call for DATEFORMAT: - call opened today; - Call for performance admin en webclient: - call opened today (high prio). Just some info. Regard, Karel

Re: How have you got your fiber-attached LTO drives connected to your TSM server?
Thanks Andy (and the resto of you who've responded). I'm taking the two drives per HBA with a grain of salt :-) If you follow the recommendations to the letter -- not more than two drives per HBA and only one HBA on a dedicated PCI bus you find you're limited to a maximum of 24 drives per TSM server (I think the current systems max at 4 I/O drawers per system, and three PCI buses per drawer -- I *could* be a bit behind the times :-) While I'm currently getting 5 to 1 compression on my SAP/Oracle database, I have a bit of difficulty believing I could actually drive four tape drives at 150 MB/sec from the same system. This is why I'm willing to put three drives on the same fiber. The current concept is two dedicated hubs, each with three drives and a connection to one of my two switches. If the hub price is higher than I expect, they may become an 8 port switch with all six drives and a connection to each of the other two switches (I don't like the single point of failure here). Worst case, I don't do either and run directly from the tape drive to my existing switches -- I have the ports to cover this, if the rest of the team doesn't get too creative in budgeting next year's hardware. I will be isolating the tape and disk to seperate HBAs. My TSM server is also my SAP DB HA fallover system, so I'll have two HBAs for SAP and two for TSM tape drives. This should keep us going until the next major server swapout two years from now. Tom Kauffman NIBCO, Inc -Original Message- From: Wilcox, Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 4:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How have you got your fiber-attached LTO drives connected to your TSM server? One consideration to make here is that the IBM recommendation for Fibre LTO drives is no more the 2 per HBA. Although taking into consideration that this was with LTO1 drives on 1Gb FC HBAs, I would assume you could get away with up to four LTO1 drives per 2Gb FC HBA, but only 2 LTO2 drives per 2Gb FC HBAs. Another consideration is that you should isolate tape only traffic to the HBA's serving the drives. Ideally you could have a separate zone on your san switches to serve exactly this purpose (or even have dedicated switches for serving the tape drives should costs allow). As for the ideal of switches or hubs... You should definately go for switches and not hubs. A switch will let you run pretty much full bandwidth across all connected devices whereas a hub is just a looping device so your max throughput is the speed of the SAN, eg 2Gb per second. Hope this provides you with some more food for thought!

Re: How to check exit-code pre- and postschedule commands?
See the PRESCHEDULECMD and POSTSCHEDULECMD options in the 5.1 or 5.2 client manual for a discussion on how the exit code from the PRE/POST commands affects the over-all return code from the client. Also see the chapter on "Automating tasks" for a discussion on return codes issued by the command line client/scheduler. For TSM server-scheduled operations, you can use QUERY EVENT with the FORMAT=DETAILED option to see the status and return code from the client. While those won't tell you specifically whether the PRE/POSTSCHEDULECMD option didn't work, a non-zero return code should prompt you to investigate the client logs to see why they didn't get a return code of zero (you can also bypass return code 4 if skipped files are not a concern, at your own discretion). While you would still need to view the client logs, at least you have an indicator of which specific clients to look at, as opposed to having to look at all of them. TSM versions prior to 5.1 did not reliable return codes, so this won't help you with clients running pre-5.1 code.

Re: 4.2.2.12 to 5.1.0.0 upgrade and PATHS
My recollection is that we simply had to define the paths. However, SOP says be prepared for anything. I also recall that we were told to remove the DRIVE def's from all TSM library clients. The DRIVE's only need to be defined to the library manager/owner in a library sharing environment now. The devices still need to be defined to the OS on the library client, but TSM does not require the DRIVE to be defined to library clients. I am not sure that it is required to delete the DRIVE def's from clients, but was recommended.

So, next week I'm going from 4.2.2.12 to 5.1.6.2 on a Solaris 2.7 node. I understand that PATHS are a new feature (or complication) of 5.1 but want to know if, after upgrade I HAVE to define these. I was speaking to an IBM rep the other day and he said yes, but I have heard others say they didn't have to do it (sorry to keep hastling you Gary). Our setup is one tcp attached 3494 library with two scsi 3590 tape drives. I'm surprised that the upgrade would not see these devices already set up and create the paths accordingly. Anyone got a definte answer here. Also, looking at the quick-start guide on the 5.1.0.0 media, it doesn't mention paths. The Admin guide does, but not the quick start. mm Anyway, thanks for any pointers Farren Minns - John Wiley & Sons Ltd * This email transmission is confidential and intended for the person or organisation it is addressed to.

Re: Backing up Windows2003 Server with Client 5.2
I would like to have Andy confirm this, but I believe that in order to back up the system state data from a Windows 2003 client, you must be connected to a TSM 5.2.0 or higher server. What happens if you run a backup of all the filespaces except the systemstate data? Does that work correctly without errors?

TSM 4.2 and Exchange TDP 1.1.1
I was just looking at my Exchange TDP output and have it showing all exchange backups ever created. It shows directory backups and information store backups (full and incremental. exchange 5.5). Is there someway I can query our output this list of backups to a text file? On the TDP side I don't see anything in the GUI. I'm guessing I need to do something with the TDP cmdline to query a list of this (with dates) so I can hand this to someone and get an idea of what to restore. Time to read some notes but if someone knows off the top of their head how to do this I'd appreciate the info.

Re: 4.2.2.12 to 5.1.0.0 upgrade and PATHS
If you are upgrading library manager and clients you should be careful. The upgrade process will define paths on all your servers, and it all looks and works ok. Until you want to define a new drive (or delete/redefine a drive) on a library client. Then you will discover that the 4.2 Admin Guide is wrong (5.1 is correct). All drive and path definitions now need to be done on the library manager. Only a library definition is done on the clients. If you don't use library managers and clients the upgrade process should define your paths and you should be OK.

However, SOP says be prepared for anything. I also recall that we were told to remove the DRIVE def's from all TSM library clients. The DRIVE's only need to be defined to the library manager/owner in a library sharing environment now. The devices still need to be defined to the OS on the library client, but TSM does not require the DRIVE to be defined to library clients. I am not sure that it is required to delete the DRIVE def's from clients, but was recommended.

Or do I need to define new drives and lib too ?

So, next week I'm going from 4.2.2.12 to 5.1.6.2 on a Solaris 2.7 node. I understand that PATHS are a new feature (or complication) of 5.1 but want to know if, after upgrade I HAVE to define these. I was speaking to an IBM rep the other day and he said yes, but I have heard others say they didn't have to do it (sorry to keep hastling you Gary). Our setup is one tcp attached 3494 library with two scsi 3590 tape drives. I'm surprised that the upgrade would not see these devices already set up and create the paths accordingly. Anyone got a definte answer here. Also, looking at the quick-start guide on the 5.1.0.0 media, it doesn't mention paths. The Admin guide does, but not the quick start. mm Anyway, thanks for any pointers Farren Minns - John Wiley & Sons Ltd * This email transmission is confidential and intended for the person or organisation it is addressed to.
