SV: Error message - Lotus Domino
Hi Richard, U where right, the objects was not there. Thanks - Michael -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: Richard Sims [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 21. september 2003 19:22 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: Re: Error message - Lotus Domino >When trying to backup tranaction logs for Lotus Domino. I got the following >error: >ACD0200E (Unable to open a file for reading). >What can course this problem! >Whar have I done wrong. Probably, working on Sunday. :-) This might be because some type of Domino maintenance activity is happening within the the backup window. From what I understand, TDP for Domino scans all of the databases to gather info such as pathnames at the onset of the backup. Something may have interfered with the acquisition of such info then, or something has changed by the time TDP for Domino opens the object for backup. The most obvious cause would be the disappearance of the object. Richard Sims, BU

Re: Saving data on a defective cartridge
Joseph, We have a fairly large, simple system. About 7 TB online out of 23 TB total from 120 active nodes. Includes almost 4 TB of Domino data. We have been sending copy tapes offsite for about four years now. Its biggest benefit so far has been the recovery of 180,000 files from our main file servers that were on two LTO tapes that got eaten by our 3583. Like most users, our copypool tapes are not collocated, so my tape library had to read about 55 tapes to restore the two LTOs. Each restore took about two days. But so what? How long would it have taken to recreate 180,000 files, some several years old? As our TSM primary administrator, the loss of 180,000 user-created data files borders on incompetence. Tape libraries are not that expensive. We are a $180 million company. We have four tape libraries, with four drives each. We also have a two-drive library as an installed spare to the library that hosts our copypool. We send everything offsite on DLT 8000 media. Our two-drive, twenty-six slot SCSI DLT library cost all of $15,000 (HPaq brand). Other brands offer comparable libraries for about $10K. Media is about $60 / tape. Our DLT 8000 drives consistently write TSM data at 8-12 MB/s each. Such a library should be adequate unless your daily new data is in the TB range. Companies have gone out of business because of lost data. Is the saving of $10-20K so important that your management is willing to literally "bet the company" on it? Thanks, and good luck.

Migrating dubs II
Hi all again. I continue with my upgrade TSM SERVER dubs. Now I am trying to upgrade a HP/UX client from 4.2 to 5.1.6.2, so my surprise when i found on readme file this : Administrator must migrate the pasword from the password file, created by TSM412 and earlier versions, to the newly formatted password file TSM.PWD before giving access to non root users in the case of 64Bit API on HPUX. What is the meaning of this ? What shall I do with my client ? update the node password of administrator password ? Please, help !.
Remove IPX
Has anyone ran into any problems with this: We have lots of NetWare Servers that TSM backs up. We have been removing IPX from these Servers a few at a time. Most of the Novell Servers are at remote sites. Most seem to work fine after the IPX has been removed. We have one up in our Chicago region, that does not seem to work after we remove IPX. It will ask for the NetWare password, and then give Login denied...We add IPX back and all is well...This seems to be the only Server to do this...Any idea's? Thanks Thanks, Mark Hayden Informations Systems Analyst E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Remove IPX
what error does the error log give? there might be a newer tcpip stack turn on dstrace and look for errors, is this server talking to Edir try a dsrepair of the local database what version of netware and sp level and nds level? does a reboot clear up the problem for a period of time? Standard things I check are. SLP config patch levels for TSA and the Tivoli client, and SMDR make sure Name resolution is working if your dsm.opt file goes against a name compare nlm's against a working server - Clark At 10:26 AM 9/22/2003 -0500, you wrote: Has anyone ran into any problems with this: We have lots of NetWare Servers that TSM backs up.

backup stg pool not giving scratch tapes back.
We currently have 2 TSM servers. TSM1 is where all our clients backup to nightly. TSM2 is where the backup stg pool command backs up the data from the previous nights incremental backup. TSM2 is *only* used as a server storage pool for data from TSM1. It has considerable more tapes than TSM1 and more storage but it currently only has 12 scratch tapes left. I've looked at everything I can think of and can't figure out why there aren't more scratch tapes available on TSM2. From my understanding TSM2 should only have a copy of the data in TSM1 and nothing more but it looks like the data in TSM2 isn't being expired or something. Anyone have any suggestions on what else to look at? It's probably something really simple that I just keep overlooking! John
Re: backup stg pool not giving scratch tapes back.
Are you actually running the expire inventory command to delete these files from your tape? It is possible that this has been turned off. Try running it by hand and see what happens.

Redbook and MS articles on restoring AD -- false
Disclaimer: I am not a Windows guy, and certainly not any kind of authoritiy on these topics. Nonetheless, in developing AD restore plans, I found the following statements in "Deploying the TSM Client in a Windows 2000 Environment", as well as its cited MS TechNet articles, etc. to be untrue. MS tech support confirmed the falsity of the statements in question, albeit in an unofficial manner. If anyone has reached conclusions to the contrary, please post them. 1. Incrementing USNs "For the authoritative restore to be successful, the Update Sequence Number of the restored object must be higher than the USN on the other domain controllers. By default, the authoritative restore process increases the USN by 100,000. In some situations this may not be enough, causing the authoritative restore to be ineffective. To overcome such situations the verinc parameter must be used when using the authoritative restore command. This allows the USN to be increased by a number higher than 100,000." from Deploying Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows 2000 (p. 118) This is misleading/false. The USN is not the important number here, and it is not directly related to "ntdsutil /verinc". Like the parameter says, "verinc" affects the "version number" of the AD object, not the USN. Try this and see for yourself. 2. Restoring the SYSVOL See: Deploying Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows 2000 (p. 124 - 127) I think besides being confusing, this section seems to indicate that part of the SYSVOL needs to be restored after any AD object is authoritatively restored.I have not found this to be the case, and the MS tech support person agreed, saying that the SYSVOL only needs to be restored after a Group Policy Object is restored. After restoring a user/computer, the SYSVOL shouldn't need to be restored. This also raises the point that the restoration of GPOs, which without using Group Policy Management Console is a pretty painful process, is notably absent from TSM documentation. If anyone out there is a Windows/AD expert and disagrees with these findings, please speak up and allow me to stand corrected. Adam Boyer
Re: ! using drm with a shared library.
Bill, Thank you very much.. for your reply. Today is started to build the config and hope to finish it on friday. TSM server at the branche office (TSM2) with a 1 mb WAN connection to the TSM server at HQ (TSM1). Doing db backups from TSM2 to virtual volumes at TSM1 server over the WAN. In HQ I can restore the TSM2 db on the same LPAR as the TSM1 server from this virtual volume and so creating a second TSM instance on this LPAR This instance will check in copypool volumes via a shared library of the TSM1 server. Something like: checkin libvol sharedlib stat=privat owner "TSM2" And so we come to a working solution ..I geuss. Best regards, Koen From: Bill Smoldt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ! using drm with a shared library. Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2003 09:07:32 -0600 Koen, The answer is yes, you can do what you want. Library partitioning may be easier, however, depending on your configuration. What do you plan to do with the restored server after the move? If you are going to access data tapes for the branch database at HQ, are there any cartridges with duplicate barcode labels? If you're using HQ as a DR site, do any of the copypool tapes from Branch have the same cartridge labels? The easiest method I can think of, if you have WAN access between the two, is to set up virtual volumes on the HQ for the Branch, do a database backup over the network, move your volhist and devconfig to HQ, and do the restore. If you don't have WAN connection, you're going to have to set up the shared library on HQ and edit the Branch devconfig file before doing your restore - that will take some work.

TDP for SQL Server GUI startup problem - Solved
Hello, while back I sent an email about following problem. This problem was due to not enough privilege for the login on the server. yi Hello, we have TDP for SQL Server 5.* on Windows 2000 cluster. Our scheduled TDP full backup is working. Howerver when I go into TDP for SQL Server GUI I get ACO5716W error which points to dsierror.log. In dsierror.log, I see ANS1036S error Invalid option 'SCHEDMODE' found in options file 'OPTIONS POSTPROC'. Currently SCHEDMODE is set to polling. Thanks in advance, yi
Lan-free and ACSLS
Hello list, Sorry to bother you with this simple question, but I needed a quick response and thought some of you could have been through the same situation: We want to use TSM to do all of our backups. We have a STK 9310 library with 9940B drives. The goal is to move this library to a SAN environment, with a TSM server (on *NIX) controlling the library and a number of lan-free clients doing their backups to the 9940 drives. To accomplish this, is TSM's ACS support enough or is another solution (Gresham's EDT) needed?

Re: Lan-free and ACSLS
Hi, Paul. TSM Shared libraries don't support ACSLS, just SCSI and 3494. TSM ACS support is enough if you're going to dedicate drives to each machine. Otherwise you'll need EDT to share drives among servers. I believe it's the same for SAN clients, but I'm not certain of that.

Re: AIX first timer.
Brian, The device type for your drives should be 'ECARTRIDGE', like the device class, and not 'GENERICTAPE'. Normally, when you define the path with the appropriate device name (e.g. /dev/mt0), TSM assigns the correct device type to the drive automatically. Can you send the output of 'q path f=d' ? Cheers Dmitri
dismount volume in use?
All, TSM 5.1.7.2 on AIX 4.3.3, 3570 library. I have a curious problem in that occasionally, when TSM finishes a process, it fails to mark a 3570 volume status as IDLE. It remains IN USE, so is never dismounted, and ties up the drive. So reclamations just sit there (waiting for multiple mount points), and in a few days when scratch tapes are gone, backups start failing. There are no AIX errors, TSM errors, or library hardware errors. The tape stays in the drive, and TSM says its IN USE, but never uses it. Anyone seen this before? Is there a way to see what has the volume IN USE? Change it to IDLE? Or forcibly dismount the IN USE volume? The only fix i have found is to halt and restart TSM. Not an optimal solution for us. Thanks for any info. tsm: TSM>q proc ANR0944E QUERY PROCESS: No active processes found. ANS8001I Return code 11. tsm: TSM>q req ANR8346I QUERY REQUEST: No requests are outstanding.
