timestamps in select

2004-01-08 Thread Warren, Matthew (Retail)
Hallo,

I am using the following select statement;

select entity,((sum(bytes)/1024)/1024) as MB from summary where entity
in (select node_name from nodes where domain_name like 'DM%') and
start_time>timestamp(current_date - 1   days) and activity='BACKUP'
group by entity


I would like to be able to specify a period of hours preceding the
current date/time, rather than a whole number of days [
timestamp(current_date - 1   days)  ]. My SQL's not so hot, if anyone
could show me how to do it I would be very grateful.

Thanks,

Matt.

SQL Query within TSM

2004-01-08 Thread tsmadmin account for Excaliber Business Solutions
 Hi Guys

 Would like to know if anyone has seen or wriiten a SQL Query in TSM to get info 
relating 
 to what management class, node name, cart/tape, how much of data for each node has 
been backed up.
 The info much be joined together for each node within TSM. 
 I require for example :
 
 nodename=TEST
 management class = TEST
 number of carts or which carts test data is stored on
 how much of data test node has stored in TSM.

 If anyone could help please advise.

Re: AIX startup of TSM scheduler

2004-01-08 Thread Justin Bleistein
To automate it if you have many tsm client backup schedulers on the same
server you can use the: "mkssys" command to setup a subsystem, this way you
can use the: "startsrc" and "stopsrc" commands to get the schedulers
started and stopped. Thanks!.

Thanks for the replies, although it has now become a fairly pointless
exercise as large swathes of client backup info seems not  to be logged

TSM-server running under non-root user fails library-sharing

2004-01-08 Thread Kolling, Paul
Hello everybody,

I try to configure a tsm-server running with a non-root user-id.
It's TSM 5.1 with a 3494 library shared from another TSM 5.1 library manager
Starting dsmserv as non-root the server crashes with a core when
trying to make a database backup.
With starting dsmserv as root this works fine.

messages are like this:

first one line like this:
ANRD blkdisk.c(1783): ThreadId<3> Error 5 from lio_listio64, lio count
64

then some lines like this:
ANRD blkdisk.c(1786): ThreadId<3>0: buf=110685000, len=4096,
offset=1028653056, rc=4096 (0)

many lines like this:
ANRD blkdisk.c(1786): ThreadId<3>   11: buf=11069, len=4096,
offset=1074790400, rc=-1 (5)

and finally that:
ANR0252E Error writing logical page 250880 (physical page 251136) to
database volume /tsm/volumes/o00tsmtoe2-
/stg01/dbvol00b.TSMTOFF00.
ANRD Error writing to database logical volume.

  0x0001000ab7cc DbBufferWriter
  0x00018548 StartThread

anyone any ideas?

Paul - The probably reason is outlined in the explanation of those messages in
   http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts

Root typically has high Unix Resource Limits (as per AIX /etc/security/limit)
while more mortal, non-root users do not.  Check this in your system for the
username which invoked TSM.  In whatever shell you are employing, use its
appropriate limits command to boost the limit to accommodate your file sizes.
Certainly, the filesize limit needs to be well over 2 GB.

Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot

2004-01-08 Thread Wilcox, Andy
This isn't exactly a solution but I have the very same problem as yourself
in finding the best way of doing this, and as you have pointed out, there is
no easy way that we have found. It is lookin very much like we will have to
make our TSM service unavailable for a "long-weekend" to be able to carry
out the snapshots.

How have you got on with your snapshot Mark? Have you found any gotchas
worth sharing? Has anyone else had to overcome this issue and found a less

Subject: Taking an end-of-year snapshot


All,

We are running TSM 5.1.6.1 on AIX 5.1

What I want to do is to take an snapshot of our TSM data as it was at end
of year 1/1/04 and archive it away for 10 years.  Is this possible?  I
haven't found a way of doing it.

We need to make an end-of-year archive each year for legal etc purposes.
Running an archive of everything on one day doesn't seem practical - too
much data coming into the server.  But snapshotting the existing backup
data would be ideal.

I was thinking that I could generate a backup set and backdate the
snapshot the backup set would take but there doesn't seem to be an option
to do this.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks

Mark

Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot

2004-01-08 Thread Prather, Wanda
Try EXPORT.

You can specify all data, or only ACTIVE data.
It has NO impact on your TSM DB, as an archive will.
And you don't have to move the data across the network again.

You can re-import it to ANY TSMDB, not necessarily the one you have now.

You can specify more than 1 client per EXPORT command, which will put more
than 1 client on a tape (which I don't think you can do with a backupset.)

But I agree with previous post, you can't back-date it!

Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot

2004-01-08 Thread Richard Sims
...
>What I want to do is to take an snapshot of our TSM data as it was at end
>of year 1/1/04 and archive it away for 10 years. ...

This kind of requirement begs a lot of questions, as it tends to be one of those
very vague management ideas which receives too little thought from the decision
makers.

- With organizations typically having terabytes of data in storage, does mgmt
  really expect to "snapshot" it in less than a day?

- Are they imposing this requirement on a backup-restore system which has not been
  configured technologically to accommodate this huge incongruity in operation?

- Do they have a clear idea of what they would later do with such snapshotted
  data (which drives a requirement for reintroduction of the data), or is this
  just a "warm feeling" exercise?

- Do they realize that the hardware and software technology which produces such
  a snapshot today may no longer exist 10 years hence?

There are a lot of implications to approaching an initiative like this.  A Dilbert
boss spur of the moment (i.e., after the first of the year has passed) assigned
task of somehow making a snapshot of everything just doesn't cut it.

Just commiserating amongst us technicians,  Richard Sims  BU

Re: client password expiration

Mark,

Thanks for the explanation!  I did a q stat and found that TSM was set
with a password expiration of 999 days and the clients in question would've
expired recently.  Thanks for pointing out that parameter!  I hadn't
configured the TSM environment and I wasn't aware of it.

I was experiencing the same thing, client's password suddenly don't work.
As
if it expired although I don't specify an expiration and that field is also
blank. This has happened on about 60 to 70 percent of my clients.

In looking into this I found that a "q stat" showed "Password Expiration
Period: 540 Day(s)" which is where most of my clients are at. I always
assumed that this setting was for the admin password, but it is for both
clients and server.

>From "h q stat":

Password Expiration Period

 Specifies the period, in days, after which the administrator or client

 node password expires.

So from "h set passexp":

SET PASSEXP (Set Password Expiration Date)

Use this command to set the password expiration period for administrator
and

client node passwords. You can set a common password expiration period for

all administrators and client node passwords or selectively set password

expiration periods.


Hope this helps.

I have had a bizarre occurrence of a client's password not working.  When I
reset the password, the user was then able to use the backup/restore
client.  What I am wondering is if I don't specify a password expiration
and that field is blank when I query that node on the TSM server, why does
it need to be reset?  Also, a command line restore worked, but the web
client did not.

No changes were made on the server or the client when this issue occurred.

5.2.2 client on W2K issue ?

2004-01-08 Thread Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU
Just installed and ran a backup with my first 5.2.2.0 client on a W2K box
and have the following issues/questions:

ANR0440W Protocol error on session 18813 for node  () - invalid verb
header received.

Any clue what causes this and why ?

01/08/2004 12:58:21 ANS4987E Error processing

Why would I get this when I am doing both SHRDYNAMIC and Open File Support

Open or InUse files ?

FWIW, the DSM.OPT has:

and the server is TSM AIX 5.2.1.3


Re: Exchange backup fails - ANR4993 RC=418

2004-01-08 Thread Del Hoobler
Henry,

Make sure you have COMMTIMEOUT on the TSM Server set to a
high enough number to accomodate any Exchange activity
that may need to happen during backups. I would try setting
COMMTIMEOUT to 600 to see if that helps.

If that doesn't help... many times, "-50" errors mean there are
network problems. If you continue to see this problem, contact
your network group to have them investigate possible network issues.

If you are still seeing problems, please call IBM support.

Thanks,

Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot

2004-01-08 Thread Tom Kauffman
I've been hit with this 'requirement' twice.

I've let the powers-that-be know that there are two options:
1) We *will* shut down *all* operations for 30 to 60 days while all
databases are converted to flat-files (with ALL binary fields converted to
ascii WITH all redundant data on each record to allow re-loading the
database) AND we will snapshot the executables AND the hardware (yes, that
means to purchase and warehouse the hardware!)

or
2) I can *guarantee* that the data on the tapes will *NOT* be usable in two
years.

I've had to do conversion from Burroughs Medium System (B3700) to Honeywell
(DPS-8) to IBM (4381/MVS) to IBM (RS-6000/AIX) and I will not touch
proprietary format or binary data (and after the Honeywell conversion, I
want the data UNBLOCKED and in a record length divisable by 4)


And I'm not afraid to say the same thing to the auditors when they come
around.

If your applications are properly designed and implemented, they retain the
proper data for legal requirements as they stand OR have an 'export to
flatfile' option that can be used to archive the data as required in a
reloadable format. You just have to guarantee availability of the
application 10 years down the road . . .

Subject: Taking an end-of-year snapshot


All,

We are running TSM 5.1.6.1 on AIX 5.1

What I want to do is to take an snapshot of our TSM data as it was at end
of year 1/1/04 and archive it away for 10 years.  Is this possible?  I
haven't found a way of doing it.

We need to make an end-of-year archive each year for legal etc purposes.
Running an archive of everything on one day doesn't seem practical - too
much data coming into the server.  But snapshotting the existing backup
data would be ideal.

I was thinking that I could generate a backup set and backdate the
snapshot the backup set would take but there doesn't seem to be an option
to do this.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks

Mark

thanks. Got them on CD, but few people do perusal reading at
terminals.just a gimmick to save the vendors the cost of printing.

Can't 'thumb through' a pc based doc, especially a 700 page one.

You may not be aware that IBM provides manuals for all of its products
in
the form of PDFs, available on their web site.  For TSM, the following
is
a good page:

Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot

2004-01-08 Thread Alex Paschal
Mark,

Possibly one of the least intrusive ways of actually doing this would be to
define a new copypool, say "SNAPSHOT_2004", and backup all your storagepools
into that storagepool.  If you start this at the beginning of November, you
can probably do each primary pool one at a time.  Then just do incremental
backup storagepools (incrementally) until you reach your 12/31/2004 date,
then do a backup database, and ship the dbbackup and the entire copypool to
wherever you want.  I'd personally then delete all those volumes and the
stgpool from the database.

However, please pay attention to Richard Sim's points.  This is actually
only a last resort of "malicious compliance."So, in your "ship
offsite" package, you may want to include a server, OS install media, and
TSM install media, various drivers, etc.  Oh, and a tape drive.

Someone else mentioned conversion to ASCII.  I think this is a much better
way to go, but I've never been able to get it to fly with Management.
Hmm... Maybe paper.

Subject: Taking an end-of-year snapshot


All,

We are running TSM 5.1.6.1 on AIX 5.1

What I want to do is to take an snapshot of our TSM data as it was at end
of year 1/1/04 and archive it away for 10 years.  Is this possible?  I
haven't found a way of doing it.

We need to make an end-of-year archive each year for legal etc purposes.
Running an archive of everything on one day doesn't seem practical - too
much data coming into the server.  But snapshotting the existing backup
data would be ideal.

I was thinking that I could generate a backup set and backdate the
snapshot the backup set would take but there doesn't seem to be an option
to do this.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks

Mark

TSM Server 5.2.2.0 actlog prob

2004-01-08 Thread John Monahan
 I just installed TSM 5.2.2.0 on a test server - Windows 2003.  This was
upgraded from 5.1.6 something.

The default activity log query from the web browser is not working.  I get:
ANR2020E QUERY ACTLOG: Invalid parameter - DOMAINNAME.

A help query actlog reveals:
DOmainname
   Specifies that the query displays messages logged for a
   particular policy domain to which a named schedule belongs.
   This parameter is optional, unless you are specifying a
   schedule name.

I am not specifying a schedule, this is just the default actlog query from
a browser.  I can't change the domainname field to be blank in the browser,
it is a drop down list only.  I can make the query work by changing the
default originator from ALL to CLIENT.  It seems that the domainname field
is only valid when the originator is CLIENT anyway, but there is no way to
blank the domainname field out in the browser for the originators of ALL or
SERVER.

Anyone else have 5.2.2.0 installed yet and see this problem?

Re: Cancel session

2004-01-08 Thread Nicholas Cassimatis





And by the "message description" Richard means the built in help in TSM.
Even the client has it.  For my 5.1.5.15 Win32 client, it's the online help
section 222:


ANS1330S  This node currently has a pending restartable restore session.
   The requested operation cannot complete until this session either
  completes or is canceled.

Explanation: This operation can not be completed because a restartable
restore session is pending. The operation is not allowed because the
restartable session and the current operation affect the same file
space.

System Action: TSM ended the current operation.

User Response: Issue a query restore to see the conflict. Issue the
cancel restore command to delete any unneeded restartable restore
sessions.

The TSM server, likewise, has the help for all the server generated
messages online.  What I like about that even more than the PDF manuals (as
another reply gave) is that the message is current as of your release - no
trying to decipher a 5.1 error message in a 4.2 manual (or a 5.1.6.2
message in a 5.1.5 manual).  And as long as your server is up, it's
available - so if I see an error in my actlog, I can look up the help
immediately, nothing else to find, open or search through.  TSM is still
one of the few products out there with a very comprehensive, and useful,
help function.
