AW: AIX startup of TSM scheduler
All problems went away as soon as we began to let DSMCAD start the scheduler. Regards Thomas Rupp
timestamps in select
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.

Re: AIX startup of TSM scheduler
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.

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

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. Richard Sims, http://people.bu.edu/rbs

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.

Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot
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! -Original Message- From: Wilcox, Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 10:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot 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.

Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot
... >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.

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.

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.

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?

TSM 5.2 - hardware overview from web?
somewhat of a newbie question - but on TSM 5.2 on Win2k Server - is there a command I can run from the browser command line interface to obtain information about the hardware being used in a site - or do I need physical access to the Win2k server - the wizards, or Win2k devices to get an idea of what's physically being used. working with someone who doesn't have any docs nor much information about what they have trying to assist in sorting it all out for them. thanks Jon Johnston Creative Business Solutions IBM, Lotus, Microsoft Consultants http://www.cbsol.com 952-544-1108

Re: Exchange backup fails - ANR4993 RC=418
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.

Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot
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 . . .

Re: Taking an end-of-year snapshot
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.

TSM Server 5.2.2.0 actlog prob
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? __ John Monahan Senior Consultant Enterprise Solutions Computech Resources, Inc.

Re: Cancel session
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.
