Re: TDP for Domino and Backup Client on one machine
Hi, I have little experience with subj (TDP for Domino and Backup Client on one machine). I install these things on Windows server. All worked fine. Info I find in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail 5.1.5 (SC32-9057-00) (TDP for Domino for Windows). You need really use 2 different nodenames. First nodename - for TDP, TDP options writed in ../tsm/client/domino/bin/, second nodename - fo BA, options for BA client - ../tsm/client/ba/bin/.

See topic "dsmc Query Backup" for what information can and cannot be readily reported from the client. Remarkably, this sophisticated product, even after years of development, is still very sadly lacking in reporting capabilities, providing almost no means for the administrators of timesharing systems, for example, to generate statistics on backed up file sizes, backup frequency, volume by user, type of file system objects in backups, etc. This is one of the areas of the product that needs a lot of attention for IBM to best its competition.

Reset serverpassword; what is impact?
Hello, Just a quick question. Two servers: AIX 5.2, TSM 5.1.7.3, one library-manager and the other library-client. We use the other-server defintions on both TSM-machines for library-sharing. Now we want a third server to setup as library-client. But we can't remember the serverpassword we used on the TSM-server that acts as a library manager. Now we want to reset the serverpassword. As far as I understand, I only have to update the serverpassword on the other-servers definitions on the library-clients. Does this have any impact on other processes or something else?

checkin libvol
Hello All! I know this will seem like a very unintelligent question, but I am in a rush and I'm a little confused. I'm trying to checkin a library volume into the TSM server for NDMP backup use. Currently we use ACSLS and Gresham, but Gresham doesn't enter the mix for NDMP backups. What I am wondering is: Is this the correct syntax for checking in library volume T00999 into library naslib? checkin libvol naslib T00999 status=scratch checklabel=yes Thanks in advance!

Hi David!

Re: AW: DSMSERV UNLOADDB
Hi Yes, you probably do. However, the impact of the unload is smaller than you might expect. Directly after the unload, you're database will shrink with 30-40%. However, the following days after a unload you will see that the database will quickly go up in utilization again. I'd expect you can earn about 10-20% with a database thats 3 years old. The unload we made brought the database down from 160GB to 80. However, 3 months later, we're up at 110GB.

Hi Eric, Thanks for the info! The older of the 2 servers returned a percent_frag of "-0.01" the newer returned a percent_frag of "27.44". The older server is 4 years old...the newer is 3 years old.

Re: AW: DSMSERV UNLOADDB
Hi Dave! My largest production server has a rather low fragmentation level (about 2 %). Another one, which is slowly being phased out, has a percentage of 60% Both machines have a lot of nodes removed in the past, but only the big one has nodes added. So my guess is that TSM reuses the fragmented space for new nodes, but of course I cannot prove this.

Re: AW: DSMSERV UNLOADDB
Richard, it all depends on your situation. If you're going to use the unload/load feature of TSM, you'll need to do it regularly. Otherwise, over time, you'll loose the benefits of the unload/load process. However, if you setup a routine to do the unload/load perhaps once a year, you will get a benefit out of using this feature. When we made the unload/load of the 160GB database, we not only saw the database shrink in its usage, but also gained alot of performance. This performance benefit is actually not degrading that quickly, which, for us, made the unload/load process worth the time.

The previous discussions I recall stressed minimal benefit over any significant period of time, which is to say that the risk and outage involved in the procedure isn't worth it. Richard Sims
Re: queryschedperiod
Geert, On the TSM server side, run "QUERY STATUS" and take a look at the query schedule period. I bet it says "4" instead of "Client".

Reported IP inconsistency
I am running the following simple query. Environment is TSM 5.1.7.0 MVS. select - nodes.node_name as "Node Name",- nodes.tcp_address as "IP Address",- concat(concat(concat(concat(varchar(nodes.client_version),'.'), - concat(varchar(nodes.client_release),'.')), - concat(varchar(nodes.client_level),'.')), - concat(varchar(nodes.client_sublevel),'')) as "Client Ver", - nodes.url as "URL",- from nodes - order by nodes.node_name The nodes.url field returns the values that have been manually entered for that node. (These are the correct IP addresses.) However, in some instances, the value returned from nodes.tcp_address are different. For example: Node NameIP Address Client Ver URL BRIMSERVER2 10.200.80.38 5.2.0.0 http://10.200.19.133:1581 FINSERVER2 10.200.13.4 5.2.0.0 http:10.200.71.100:1581 I believe this problem shows up whenever the client node has had its IP address changed. The IP address is the original address of the server. It has since been given a new IP address, but for some reason this field doesn't change or get updated. It does not appear to affect the backup process, but I'd like to get this corrected. I can't see how to edit this field - any ideas? Thanks in advance! - Kevin Kinder 304-558-5914 x1988
Re: Reported IP inconsistency
Hi Kevin The URL is a static value, set by the TSM administrator. TSM doesnt change this value in the case that the IP-adress of the client changes. Only the tcpadress changes on a client change. You can change the URL value by selecting "Updating node", and then "URL". The tcpadress value will change as soon as you restart the TSM scheduler service. It will then update the entry with the new value.

FlashCopy backups
Dear All, The mechanism for FlashCopy is that one production host, which has a)TSM B/A Client b)TDP for DB installed, initiates the backup and only the flasCopy is created.

Is this supported on Linux, AIX, etc? Kindest Regards Sandra

What is everybody using for Netware backups as far as versions of TSM and TSA/SMDR
Hello everybody, Netware seems to be the one environment where I find the stars need to be aligned properly for everything to work for backups and restores. I am wondering what version of TSM client and what versions of TSAFS/TSA600/SMDR everybody is using out there for both Netware 6 and Netware 6.5 servers. Anybody have any thoughts or recommendations? Have a super weekend, Peter
Re: What is everybody using for Netware backups as far as versions of TSM and TSA/SMDR
5.2.3.0 is the latest client for Netware and definitely needed for NW6.x. We use it (and older versions) on lots of Netware systems. Yes, TSAFS is a royal pain and causes lots of problems/issues, so make sure to get the latest TSA updates from Novell. They are critical in getting proper backups.

Re: What is everybody using for Netware backups as far as versions of TSM and TSA/SMDR
Peter, I have been of the same mindset regarding Netware, but for the last year or so we have been (dare I say it) pretty darn stable with backups. We have a 6.0 cluster with 4 nodes running TSM client 5.2.2.3. Netware nlms listed below.

Have a super weekend, Peter Hi , Since we took a poll early this week I would like to take a small survey in regards to Novell Netware and GroupWise. What is everybodies overall satisfaction with the Netware/GroupWise support under TSM. How do you typically manage the Netware data (basically the question and above). Also, how is everybody managing the GroupWise data? Do you do cold backups or use St. Bernard OFM (or some other OFM type product)? Anybody try writing there own interface through the API? Is there any 3rd party SW for GroupWise that works with TSM? I personally have not done much with Novell in a TSM environment, but I am running into more customers that have it. Any comments or experiences that you have and would like to share would be appreciated. Thank You. -- Regards, Mark D.

TDP Setup for Domino - Please Help
Hi all, I'm having trouble with my setup here, please help... My system is: Solaris 8 Lotus Notes R5 I was asked to setup backup for a newly created notes partition. it is the 5th notes partition on this particular server and on the other four partitions, the backup is running smoothly. I'm new to this stuff, so i follow instructions form ibm: "Configuring Data Protection for Domino", on the solaris section.. heres what i did: - run dominstall - make dsm_notes5.opt (option file for this particullar partition) - ask the TSM admin to add my new node - edit dsm.sys (copy param/options of other nodes/partition) well, after all that i seems fine. but if i enter domdsmc commands, iget: ACD5025E PASSWORDACCESS is Generate. Either the stored password is incorrect or there is no stored password. If you do not have a stored password, use of the -ADSMPWD=xxx option will set and store your password. ANS1025E (RC137) Session rejected: Authentication failure so i tried to enter the same command with -ADSMPWD using our password and its OK. it seems that every time i will issue domdsmc command, i will add that option (-ADSMPWD) How will i resolve this? I tried to use "dsmc set password nodename notes_server5", (as root) it seems that "nodename" and "notes_server5" are treated as old and new passwords.. when i was asked to enter userid, i just press enter for the default (which is the systems hostname) and enter the password. I play along with "dsmc set password" command, but still no luck. The WORST thing is, when i tried to query dbbackup on ALL other partitions (domdsmc query dbbackup "mail/m*"), i now get this error: ANS0282E (RC168) Password file is not available. Very bad! I screwed out! Can somebody help me out and point me into the right direction? Thanks in Advance! Whew!, radismus __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: What is everybody using for Netware backups as far as versions of TSM and TSA/SMDR
I backup roughly 45 netware servers ranging from v5.1 to 6.5. The client version is 5.2.2.3 on all of them currently, as I've had no need to move to 5.2.3. The TSM server is 5.2.2.2. I've got mixes of tsa500, tsa600, and tsafs depending on the OS version. The only one I've ever had any problem with is tsafs, and even that has cleared up in the lastest couple service packs. If tsafs is giving you trouble, the key is to limit how much cache memory that tsafs is allowed to allocate. This configuration can be done via commandline switches is smsstart.ncf, or through iManager under the "SMS" heading. The setting is called "Cache Memory Threshold". I would suggest starting with a value of 10, and moving progressively down to 1, until it stops causing problems. The higher you can keep it, the better performance will be.

Re: What is everybody using for Netware backups as far as versions of TSM and TSA/SMDR
Since TSM doesn't use the native tsagw interface, you almost have to use St. Bernard OFM. The only other alternative I know of is to run a cron job to stop the poa/mta before the backup, and guestimate when to bring them back up. As far as I've seen though, using the OFM combo works just fine. I've had to do several restores in the last 6 months, and they all went off without a hitch. It is relatively annoying however, that you have to restore an entire PO just to get back a few deleted messages from one user's mailbox. GW6.5 has features to allow that without restoring the whole PO, but that requires more disk space than we have available. If possible, it's also a good idea to have the backup window be different from the window when post office maintennace is running. Slows things down like crazy here, but we can't avoid it.

Re: TDP Setup for Domino - Please Help
Make sure the PASSWORDDIR option in dsm.sys, for the new stanza, points to a directory where the notes user for the new partition can write to. It probably is pointing to one of the already configured partitions and is unable to write to it.

Re: DSMSERV UNLOADDB
I always got into the habit of running these types of commands with nohup and redirecting the output. I would usally then run a tail -f to watch it. Doing this saved me a couple of times .
