Re: Pre-Initialized Tapes - do they need to be labeled?

In our case, where TSM runs on our MVS (actually Z\OS) instance this is the case. We have never had to go through the label process.

Re: D2D vs. tape backups with TSM?
You can run reclamation with D2D by using Devicetype=file on disk. -Original Message- From: Jesse Dotterer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 23, 2004 10:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: D2D vs. tape backups with TSM? There are some other faster restore solutions out there. With Virtual Tape Libraries you get all the speed and reliability of D2D but with all the functionality of tape. For example, I happen to work for a company that provides a VTL solution which is certified by IBM-TSM. There is no way to run reclamation on D2D so that must be done once it is transferred to real tape. With a VTL solution, you backup to a virtual tape library and device, run the reclamation on that, which is nearly instantaneous and then copy to real tape via archive and that saves you hrs and hrs of reclamation time. The other benefit is the near unlimited amount of mount points. With backups and restores, the speed of real tape and libraries are not longer your bottleneck.
Re: Backupsets and move nodedata

So, I'm considering running a move nodedata on every node > periodically - maybe once a month for production, once every three months > for non-production. You run a reasonable chance of saving some resources here, but you're going to have to 'cook' the process pretty carefully. For example, if you faux-collocate your library on (say) day 100, but write indiscriminately from days 100-130, you will probably have to empty all of your written tapes on day 131; many or most of them will have been filled with random-owned data written above the faux-collocated area. One thing you can do is define an extra, collocated stgpool, and move data to it as you deem fit: So: DISKPOOL -> TAPEPOOL (non-collocated) CTAPEPOOL (collocated) And when you get a full volume in TAPEPOOL, you MOVE DATA it over to CTAPEPOOL. ... The critical thing to evaluate here is exactly which overheads of collocation you think you're going to dodge. You'll still have the reclamation overhead: "nearly all" of your data is in fact collocated. You'll still have the tape inefficiency, for the same reason. You'll avoid some tape-mount overhead: instead of mounting most tapes in your tape pool every day, you'll only mount a few for migration. However, what you pay for this is the expectation of mounting every tape in TAPEPOOL for any given restore. If you keep that low (i.e. only one filling tape) that could be reasonable. But if you move data out of TAPEPOOL only once a month or so, you'll probably accumulate 10 or 20 tapes in there before you clean house. That will make the MOVE DATA process long and re-mount-iferous, and it will mean most restores will go from one or two mounts to 10s. And if you fill tapes every day (and thus in my scheme MOVE DATA every day) you've in fact lost ground, because you move data one additional time. In any case I'd -strongly- advocate against moving data around in a -non- collocated stgpool and thinking you've improved matters much. - Allen S. Rout

archiving up files with single-quotes in the filename
Hello TSMers I am trying to perform an archive using the -filelist option on a unix system. The filelist contains a list of files of the format; /a/path/to/a/'file1' /a/path/to/a/'file2' unfortunatley (apparently) there is no way the filenames can be changed such that they do not contain single quotes... When issuing Dsmc archive -filelist=/path/to/the/filelist TSM generates a line of errors similar to; ANS1228E Sending of object '/a/path/to/*' failed ANS4005E Error processing '/a/path/to/*': file not found ANS1228E Sending of object '/a/path/to/*' failed ANS4005E Error processing '/a/path/to/*': file not found .. It seems to truncate the given path by the last element and replace this with '*' ..I have tried a few different combo's of escaping & quoting etc.. but no joy yet... anyone else needed to do this before?

Snapshot backup for Novell client
Hello, Is there anyone that has done a Snapshot backup? with a Novell client? From what I understand there are several ways this can be done. Any comments hints/suggestions Thanks in Advance! Novell client version 5.2.2 Netware OS 6.5 SP2 Tsm 5.2.1.3 Aix 5.2

I have been told we have been having Sunday offline failures for some time so I thought I'd throw this out to the group. Supposedly nothing has changed on the client so all I have to pass along is a snippet from the logs, which they say is common to all the failures. Is there anyone who can give some insight as to what they think this might be? The online backups run fine, almost 600 Gig a day.

Re: System out of Memory error resoreing 170,000 files
It seems the problem lies with the O/S, and it is showing exactly the symptoms of the AIX error Mr Sims pointed me to initially, minus the fact the problem describes the HSM client rather than the BA client; http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21162093 (you'll need a login to view) Cause This problem is addressed by AIX APAR IY13763: EXHAUSTION OF .INDIRECT SEGMENT CAUSES ENOMEM ERRORS I finally confirmed this when, during the 'restore a batch, copy it elsewhere' game, I began seeing errors similar to; cp: /MMT1/prd/5/loc11/452490.dat: There is not enough memory available now. Although we do have the fix installed on the machine, there is also a fair amount of legwork to 'enable' it. I guess this hasn't actually been done on the aix 4.3.3 machines here. I havent tried the umount/mount option to workaround. Reading the description of the problem, although the .INDIRECT is cleared with a umnount/mount, I believe the actions of the restore are filling it up each time.

RAW Logical Volumes on a SAN
Trying to attach and use SAN storage as RLV for the AIX 5.1 TSM 5.2.3.0 server. Everything is a go SAN wise. The AIX system see's everything. Tried to create a DB volume in this allocated space. Get the error message: 7/26/2004 4:14:20 PM ANRD blkdisk.c(1414): ThreadId<35> Disk /dev/tsmlv7db is an unsupported file type - mode flags = 61B0. 7/26/2004 4:14:30 PM ANR2404E DEFINE DBVOLUME: Volume /dev/tsmlv7db is not available.

Re: RAW Logical Volumes on a SAN
Quick answer, I think you need to use /dev/rtsmlv7db. Note the "r" for Raw LV device. Double check in /dev directory. David B.

Re: Pre-Initialized Tapes - do they need to be labeled?
TSM writes the same IBM standard internal label as MVS does, even if not running on MVS.

This may seem like a silly question, but we have a customer who want to order pre-labeled (and barcoded) tapes, but I always thought that meant labeled for use by an MVS system, not necessarily for use by a TSM system.

Tape Reclamation Failing
I'm getting the error "ANR1086W Space reclamation terminated for volume volume name - insufficient space in storage pool." I'm trying to reclaim the offsite copy pool (tape_backup_copy) The Onsite Primary pool Tape_backup Has Max Scratch of 50 the Offsite pool has a max Scr of 200. We have 15 new Scratch in the library... We have no tapes in "unavailable" status... I'm only trying to reclaim to 90% which is suppose to yield us some 40 Tapes If anyone has any other ideas??? Please??? Thanks Much! Env Info TSM 5.2.4 AIX 5.2ML3 3494 8x3592 FC Drives
Re: Tape Reclamation Failing
How many tapes are already in the offsite pool you are trying to reclaim? (Includes ALL tapes in the pool, pending, filling, full, empty, etc.) You may already have 200 tapes defined in that pool, in which case you must change the properties so that max scratch is > 200. That will allow TSM to grab another scratch tape and add it to the pool so you can start reclaim.

Re: Tape Reclamation Failing
If you can reclaim 40 tapes at a threshold of 90%, you may be over the MaxScratch value for your offsite pool. try this command: select stgpoool_name, count(*) from volumes group by stgpool_name Check what value is reported for the stgpool that you are trying to reclaim.

Re: D2D vs. tape backups with TSM?
Dito and that is how we implemented large disk backup solutions on ATA disk. We use File device classes. We have found that the reclaim extremely fast, much faster than tape.

There are some other faster restore solutions out there. With Virtual Tape Libraries you get all the speed and reliability of D2D but with all the functionality of tape. For example, I happen to work for a company that provides a VTL solution which is certified by IBM-TSM. There is no way to run reclamation on D2D so that must be done once it is transferred to real tape. With a VTL solution, you backup to a virtual tape library and device, run the reclamation on that, which is nearly instantaneous and then copy to real tape via archive and that saves you hrs and hrs of reclamation time. The other benefit is the near unlimited amount of mount points. With backups and restores, the speed of real tape and libraries are not longer your bottleneck. - Do you Yahoo!?

Re: D2D vs. tape backups with TSM?
So, how high do you set your file class reclaim percentage? If its that fast you should be able to cope with 20% free or less before reclaim.

TSM managed Disk
Is there a limit in the amount of TSM managed Disk. We Currently have a Tiered Storage Architecture ie SAN for 18 Months Inline Disk (TSM managed ATA Disk for 10 Years) TAPE ( TSM over 10 Years) When you have TSM managed disk running on an ATA array, is there an optimal FILE Device Max Capacity ( currently it is set to 10 Megs) Does TSM have a problem when the file volumes reach several 100 000 Is it better to have large volumes than small volumes. How does TSM read the Managed Disk Volume?? Does it open the file copy into memory and then read or rather does to open the file find object and then stream the object back??

Encryption Again
Hello Everybody, Does anybody know if we can encrypt the data before TSM and its famous 56bit encryption and than send it to TSM server. So, I would like to know if anybody is using any third party software to encrypt data before TSM Client start to process data. I hope I was clear enough.

size allocation error
Hi all, I get the following warning error in my activity log: ANR1339W Session 10931 underestimated a size allocation request - 35MB more space was allocated to allow the operation to continue. (SESSION: 10931) I get this error when I archive data to a diskpool. I'm running a ITSM server 5.2.2.0 on an IBM AIX platform. My client version is also 5.2.2.0. In the help doc it says I need to upgrade the client version. (see below) System Action: None, the operation was able to continue. User Response: The installed version of the client for this node should be evaluated. In most cases, if a client has underestimated the sizes of files reported to the server, this may have been corrected in a newer version of the client. If this is an application using the TSM API that is not an IBM product, contact the vendor for the application to have this corrected. It says it "may" solve my problem if I upgrade to a newer version. Has onyone of you experienced the same problems and has an upgrade solved the problem. Thanks for your info.
