Hi to all

When i am trying to run a scheduled backup i receive the following error
message:

Executing Operating System command or script:
c:\tsmscripts\backupnas_daily.bat
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by onother

I have looked to the Task Manager but i did not find any process that is
using the above file.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi all.

I need your help for this.
We have a HPUX 11.0 and TSM Server 5.1.5 running with an IBM

TSM licensing again

2003-11-07 Thread Przemysław Maciuszko
Hi.
I've read all the previous messages about this topic, but I still have some
questions.
We've been asked by IBM to count our client's processors number.
IBM says that now we will have to pay for licensing:

1. TSM Server - this is based on the number of processors used by clients
being backuped up on this server
2. TSM Clients - number of nodes using the TSM Server

The overall cost consists of those two.

Maybe I'm missing something in here, but the first part is somehow...

We have few machines but highly equipped (mostly 10+ CPUs per unit), so the
fees for us are very high. Is it the _right_ way of licensing or just the
Polish sales team is missing something important in their way of thinking?

"Winchester" IO is really any block-device IO: disk or tape.
So it's not abnormal to see that;  but it does look pretty high.
Are you getting the performance you expect?
Does vmstat say you're paging at these times?

Hanging TSM backup invalidates journal?

2003-11-07 Thread David McClelland
Dear TSMville,

Hanging Backup Invalidates TSM Journal

o - TSM Client 5.1.5.0, Journaling engine backing up c 12,000,000 files
with a daily addition/update of around 80,000. When it works = 40
minutes. When it doesn't = 13 hours...
o - TSM Server 5.1.6.2 WinNT

A couple of nights ago, a journal backup hung and just kinda stayed
around on the TSM server in IdleW without anyone noticing. The next
day's backup began and, I'm guessing from hereon, it couldn't get access
to the TSM journal, so it reverted to a long normal incremental
backup. I subsequently spotted this, killed off the two IdleW sessions
and kicked off a new backup on the journal client. However, it failed to
do a journal backup and started a normal incremental again... 

Looking in the dsmerror.log, I spy a 'NpOpen: Named pipe error
connecting to server WaitOnPipe failed. > NpOpen: call failed with
return code:121 pipe name //./pipe.jnl'.

I understand that this named pipe is opened up at the initiation of a
journal backup as the b/a client attempts to connect to the journal
daemon - the return code 121 suggests that the connect failed, and
possibly the tsmjbbd.exe process wasn't up and running. I look at task
manager, and it is, but consuming a 'healthy' 263,632K of memory.
Observing its behaviour, I see it is still doing some work 'I/O Other'
in Task Manager's useful extra columns, but nothing in the 'I/O Writes'
or 'Reads' section, is this suspect...

I'm guessing that the journal became invalidated somewhere down the line
during the hung backup, or that the subsequent attempt at a backup
failed as maybe the old TSM backup still has a lock on it? The
tsmjbbd.exe is still present, and there is nothing from these dates in
the jbberror.log.

Any ideas what may be going on here? I seem to be able to get around 6
or 7 days of JBB backups before it starts to break and I have to
hand-hold it to get it up again... In terms of automatically monitoring
this, sticking a Tivoli process monitor to make sure the tsmjbbd.exe
process is running is only useful to a point (i.e. it wouldn't have
spotted the above), so it looks as though I'm going to have to trawl the
stdout of our backup logs to make sure that 'using journal for x$' is
present. Any ideas where else I should be looking - perhaps in the (what
we've called) jbberror.log for 'Journal will be restarted for FS x'?

So, questions are: 

o - any ideas what might be behind the above? A dead/alive tsmjbbd.exe,
and if so, how?
o - tsmjbbd.exe - how big should it be in 'healthy' usage? Is 263MB a
bit excessive?
o - any ideas about the best way to monitor (preferably using Tivoli
e.g. ITM, logfile adapters etc) jbb backups?

Quite a lot there - sorry!

Yes, I've been bitten by this. A Windows 2000 client ran the Client
Acceptor under the LocalSystem account. One day, the Windows administrator
changed a drive to exclude LocalSystem from having access. The TSM client
didn't use a DOMAIN statement.

This resulted in that drive to be skipped without *any* message, warning or
error. If the drive would have been in a DOMAIN statement, an error would
have
been issued.

There is an APAR for this behaviour, but that is closed as a suggestion
because IBM finds it too much trouble to fix.

Re: TSM licensing again

2003-11-07 Thread Zlatko Krastev
You can find my detailed explanations on licensing in list archives.
In short - the sales team is right, you must sum processor count of both 
TSM server and TSM server-type nodes (file servers, RDBMS, web/appl. 
servers, etc.) and obtain necessary number of "Processor" licenses. For 
non-server nodes (workstations not serving anything over the network) you 
get "Client" license regardless of processor number.

For a 10-way server you need 10 ITSM or ITSM XE "Processor" licenses. For 
a 6-cpu LPar/nPar/vPar in 10-way system you need 6 TSM licenses if other 
partition(s) do not use TSM.

TSM-client under FreeBSD?

Hi,

I'd like to use the 5.x-TSM-client for Linux in order to back up a
FreeBSD-system. FreeBSD comes with Linux-compatiblity so the binaries
should be compatible/runable.

This mischaracterizes the situation, as it tells only half the story.

The APAR you refer to is IC35953. The reason it was closed SUG is due to
the extent of the code changes required to fix it; it is not as trivial as
it sounds. Such code changes are beyond the scope of an APAR fix (not
every problem can be fixed within an APAR) -- believe me, we tried.
However, this APAR is still on the "to do" list, and has certainly not
been closed and forgotten.

Thanks much, Andy!

I am glad that I asked the question, although it is very stupid one. I did
read the user manual again.
It seems that the DOMAIN is for defining 1) drives, (I just assumed the
entries shown in my domain list window which mostly are directories could
be used as domain objects.) or 2) share names which could be used to a
directory (authentic shared one or not (cheating)). I do have a network
shared directory needs backup on the d drive of the machine where TSM
client resides. I will think this directory can be defined as share name.
Am I correct? My question is that is "net share inetpub=g:\inetpub" a
command line or I can put it into opt file?

Hanging TSM backup invalidates journal?

2003-11-07 Thread Pete Tanenhaus
Based on your description, a couple things are going on.

The following message:

>>> Named pipe error
>>> connecting to server WaitOnPipe failed. > NpOpen: call failed with
>>> return code:121 pipe name //./pipe.jnl'.

indicates that another backup session is attempting to connect to the
journal daemon while another
journal based backup session is in progress.

This can happen if multiple backup client processes attempt to perform a
journal based backup
at the same time, or if the ResourceUtilization option setting is higher
than 2 and produces
multiple backup sessions.

The level of client you are running will only wait about 2 minutes for a
connection to the
journal daemon to become free and will then timeout.

A testflag was implemented in the 5.1.6.2 level fixtest to allow a client
to specify a timeout
value that the client will wait for a connection to the journal daemon to
become free (that
is, the currently running jbb session to finish).

You might also consider reducing the ResourceUtilization setting to 2 or
less.

Multi session journal based backup isn't currently supported and is a know
requirement for a future
release (apar IC36361 is currently opened against this problem).

I have also recently discovered a problem in which a valid journal gets
invalidated
anytime a journal based backup starts but doesn't complete (due to a
session drop,
client terminated by the user, etc.).

The result of this is that the next backup will not be journal based (will
be a normal full incremental)
and journal based backup won't be available until a full backup completes
and
re-validates the journal.

Apar IC37908 has been opened against this problem and should be fixed in
the 5.22
level client.

It is reasonable for the journal daemon process to utilize a large amount
of memory
while processing a large journal query, which involves building a sorted
list of objects
to send to the client, but the memory should eventually be released when
the journal
based backup completes.

I have notices that very large journal queries and journal based backups
can create
prolonged delays in the journal daemon, and I am looking at ways of making
these
queries more efficient, both in terms of memory utilization and in terms
of processing
time.

Hope this helps answer your questions 

Regards, Pete

and kicked off a new backup on the journal client. However, it failed to
do a journal backup and started a normal incremental again...

Looking in the dsmerror.log, I spy a 'NpOpen: Named pipe error
connecting to server WaitOnPipe failed. > NpOpen: call failed with
return code:121 pipe name //./pipe.jnl'.

I understand that this named pipe is opened up at the initiation of a
journal backup as the b/a client attempts to connect to the journal
daemon - the return code 121 suggests that the connect failed, and
possibly the tsmjbbd.exe process wasn't up and running. I look at task
manager, and it is, but consuming a 'healthy' 263,632K of memory.
Observing its behaviour, I see it is still doing some work 'I/O Other'
in Task Manager's useful extra columns, but nothing in the 'I/O Writes'
or 'Reads' section, is this suspect...

I'm guessing that the journal became invalidated somewhere down the line
during the hung backup, or that the subsequent attempt at a backup
failed as maybe the old TSM backup still has a lock on it? The
tsmjbbd.exe is still present, and there is nothing from these dates in
the jbberror.log.

Any ideas what may be going on here? I seem to be able to get around 6
or 7 days of JBB backups before it starts to break and I have to
hand-hold it to get it up again... In terms of automatically monitoring
this, sticking a Tivoli process monitor to make sure the tsmjbbd.exe
process is running is only useful to a point (i.e. it wouldn't have
spotted the above), so it looks as though I'm going to have

It would have been nice if this information was included in the documentation

changes.

That's good to hear, but the wording of that APAR and previous experiences
with TSM support made it look otherwise. Through the normal support
channels, one encounters much resistance from IBM when a potential or
suspected bug is involved; the phrase "works as designed" is sometimes
being used much too lightly.

By using the wording I did, I was barking up the wrong tree: the IBM people
on this list are very helpful and very concerned with the quality of TSM.

Re: Include/exclude not working

2003-11-07 Thread Prather, Wanda
Yes.
You will get that for files that were backed up once, but are now excluded
(or have been deleted from the drive).

"expiring" doesn't mean the previous backup was necessarily deleted from the
server end; it means that TSM has detected that the file is now excluded or
deleted from the hard drive.

The previous backup is now marked "inactive", and from this point will be
managed based on your backup copy group values for "retextra" or "retonly".

Yes, I tried to set up from client side as much as possible since server is
in the remote location, the only communication is through email. Sometimes
it is not easy to describe clearly what I wanted. But to make things
simple, I have to ask server people to help.

I did use a lot of exclude.dir with include option. My question is how to
read log file. It seems everything is sent to server including the
exclude.dir. In my log file I have entries like the following:

11/06/2003 15:56:16 Expiring-->0
\\machineName\c$\tsm_images_v52\System32\Redist\MS\System [Sent]

Does this ( Expiring--> ) mean this is an excluded directory?

Thank you very much for your help.

problems with OS/390 fixtest file

2003-11-07 Thread Jim Kirkman
Anyone in the MVS world seen this before?

I've ftp'd the 5.1.7.3 linklib and messages files from the IBM ftp site.
I've transferred them to a pre-allocated data set on the mainframe with
the recommended format, lrecl and block size (FB, 80, 3120).
Yet, when I run the receive command to convert it from the xmit format
to a link library I get the following message:

INMR921I Received file appears not to be an Interactive Data
Transmission Facilty file. The first record is:,
INMR922I : ::INMR01 : : :&:: : :SNJMAS3:: : :K311552:: : :99:: : :99:: :
:20030

and, in fact this file does look different from the one's we downloaded
for 4.1.4.2.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? I may try a different level
fixtest just for drill.

SQL backup errors

TDP for SQL backup are failing with the following message: ACO5400E The

I have never seen this one before.  It sounds OS/SQL server related, but
I haven't confirmed that yet. 

Any suggestions?

Configuring Second TSM Server (to Share Library)

2003-11-07 Thread Proen, Angelo G
Hello,

First of all, let me preface my post by saying that I am a TSM novice.

I have a Solaris 9 server running TSM 5.2.1, which is physically attached to
an L25, LTO tape library.  This server is not using any storage pools.  It
is currently being used to back up a few UNIX servers each night, so neither
the server, nor the library are being stressed.

My team would now like to utilize the same tape library to perform backups
of their desktop and notebook Windows 2000 /XP systems.  They would not be
backing up lage amounts of data, only their D:/Documents and Settings
directory.  I've got another unutilized UNIX server which I've loaded
Solaris 9 and TSM Server 5.2.1, which I'd like to dedicate to these PC
backups.  This system is not physically connected to the library, but is on
the same LAN.  It also has a small disk array attached (2.1 GB x 12), which
I plan to use as a storage pool.  I'm not sure where to begin or what the
most optimal configuration would be.  Please help!  Many thanks in advance!

Re: Configuring Second TSM Server (to Share Library)

2003-11-07 Thread Paul Zarnowski
If you cannot connect the 2nd Unix server to the L25 and it's drives, then
you can setup the 2nd server to use "virtual volumes" on the first
server.  Refer to the TSM Administrator's Guide, Part 4, for information on
how to do this.
If your first server has excess capacity, you could just route the
workstation backups to it, or define a 2nd TSM server image on it
(answering at a different port number).  There is documentation for this in
the Quick Start guide.

TSM server on AIX 5.2.0 ML02 breaks TDP for Oracle (TDO) 2.2.1.0

2003-11-07 Thread Joel Fuhrman
Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?

After upgrading the AIX level on which the TSM server runs from AIX 5.2.0
ML01 to ML02, a TDP for Oracle (TDO) version 2.2.1.0 client is now unable to
do a full backup.  After running for 4 or 5 hours the full backup fails on
varing datasets.  The TDO client is running on system with AIX 5.1.0 ML03
and TSM BA client 5.1.0.0.  The error in the sbtio.log file is of the form
that follows. However since some of the failed full backups did not generate
this error in the sbtio.log file, this error may be caused by some other
activity (like tdposync).

SBT-108412 11/07/2003 02:23:57 remove2.cpp(237): sbtremove2(): Exit - wrong
state, dsmHandle = 1, state = 2

The error reported by RMAN and Oracle's interpretation of the error is:

And this is Oracle's interpretation of that error:
