Re: TDP Oracle Restore

2004-10-22 Thread Pawel Wozniczka
>Yes please do send me the script and other procedures that you are using.

Hello

I've modified the script so that it could be used not only in my, but also
in other environments. It can be downloaded from:

http://skowron31.neostrada.pl/rman_scripts/change_rman_backup_status.sh
(in case of any download problems, let me know and I'll send it directly to
your email)

***Important facts to consider:***

- Backup your recovery catalog before using this script
- The script works quite good in my environment, but I can NOT guarantee
that it will also work perfectly everywhere.
- My environment:
* ORACLE 8.1.7.4 target databases
* ORACLE 8.1.7.4 recovery catalog database - separate catalog for
each target database
* AIX 5.1 ML04
* TSM 5.1.9
- Be extremely concentrated and focused when using this script, remember
that you are dealing with your company VITAL data!
- Should you have even a slightest doubt about using this script PLEASE ask
me first, I'll try to answer to your questions.

***How does this script work ?***

1. Connects to the target database and recovery catalog (according to the
supplied parameters)
2. Asks recovery catalog for the list of stored backups (according to the
supplied time range)
3. Parses the output from step 2, and generates rman command files (two
files: one for setting unavailable flag, second for setting back to
available state)
4. Generates shell executable scripts which have to be executed manualy to
perform the actual operation of setting unavailable or available flags.

Before actualy executing, check both *.cmd and *.sh files whether they are
correct !!!


If You execute it without parameters a short usage description will be
displayed, similar to the output below:

change_rman_backup_status.sh v 1.0 - beta
2004 Pawel Wozniczka ([EMAIL PROTECTED])


"This script generates RMAN command files which may be used to set
'unavailable' or 'available' flag to selected backup pieces
Only briefly tested with Oracle 8.1.7.4 on AIX 5.1.4 (both target database
and recovery catalog)

Please use extreme caution with this script !!!
Backup recovery catalog before using commands generated by this script!!!

Wrong parameter count !

USAGE: change_rman_backup_status.sh DBUSER DBPASS DBTNS RCATUSER RCATPASS
RCATTNS START_DATE END_DATE

Execute as oracle, not as root or other user

Required parameters:

DBUSER - target database username (sysdba privileges)
DBPASS - target database user password
DBTNS - target database TNSNAME (alias)
RCATUSER - recovery catalog username
RCATPASS - recovery catalog password
RCATTNS - recovery catalog TNSNAME (alias)
START_DATE - start date (RMAN format, for example '10-OCT-04')
END_DATE - start date (RMAN format, for example '15-OCT-04' or
'sysdate-1'...)

WARNING: exact date format may be different because of various environmental
settings !

Example:

change_rman_backup_status.sh sys secret PRDDB rman secret RCATDB '01-OCT-04'
'05-OCT-04'

Will create commands to set either unavailable or available flags to backup
pieces of the database PRDDB registered in recovery catalog database RCATDB
between 01 October 2004 and 04 October 2004"


As I said earlier I'm quite happy with the script.  But remember that it
doesn't take into consideration all possible configurations and may not
always work as expected, so use it at your own risk.

Feel free to ask in case of any doubts.



kind regards

Re: Encrypting Lotus Domino Backups

2004-10-22 Thread Joerg Michael
Del,

I may have the terminology wrong but according to
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/storage-mgr/smart-moves.html
encryption is supported with Windows, Unix, and Netware "storage
manager clients". I have found similar statements in other Tivoli
brochure-ware.

Maybe with those "storage manager clients" TSM doesn't even know about
the encryption - it might be just a client feature. I really have no
idea - this is the first time I'm even investigating Tivoli products.

If the upcoming TDP for Domino 5.3.0 supports encryption, everything
will be good and we can go home happy ;-)

Nowhere in my 5.1 manual is a reference to the" Format=" in the Define

See what happens when your initial postings don't specify your 
platform?...  :-)

I haven't been in MVS|OS/390|zOS for years, so a current customer in 
that area
could provide more insight, but it appears that through TSM 5.2, there 
was no
provision for specifying Devclass FORMAT in that environment, which 
implies that
TSM discerned it from the OS environment.  It appears that with TSM 
5.2.2,
IBM decided to normalize the product code base, and as of that level 
FORMAT can
be speicified, as on other platforms.  The publications people 
shortchanged the
doc, as the Technical Changes summary in the 5.2.2 Admin Ref is minimal 
and fails
to mention the FORMAT addition.

Ostensibly, you would be okay in 5.1 to simply code as much as that 
level
allows and let that TSM discern the 3590 drive type.  Again, an MVS 
customer
with 3590e would be in the best position to comment, based upon 
esperience.

..Hmm, I do remember vaguely once being able to download zipped bundles
of the HTML manuals.


..also, not the neatest or easiest way to do it, it may be possible
using iexplorers 'subscribe to page' feature, by pointing the browser at
the index page, and giving it a link-depth of 1, then letting it pull
the whole thing onto your machine...  hmm, but with the tivoli html
files, I have a funny feeling you will get multiple instances of the
same page as some links are '#' links into certain parts of a page -
unless iexplorer is clever enough to spot the case. Which I bet it isnt
..

I've done it with other things, but it all starts to get a bit fiddly
once you actually have the files, if you want to bundle them up. I tend
to set it up so the pages wont expire, and use offline-browsing to view
them.


And I'm assuming you have something quicker than 56k to do this with ;P

upgrade path from 3590E to 3592

2004-10-22 Thread Eliza Lau
We have a 3494 tape library with six 3590E drives.
I am looking into upgrading the 3590E drives to 3592 drives.

current setup:

3494 with 3 frames: one L12 and two D12s
six 3590E tape drives
server and 3590E drives connected to two 2109 SAN switches.

Because of budget constrains I am thinking of replacing a frame and
two 3590E drives at a time and spread out the cost over 3 years.

Can someone give me a rough cost estimate before I even propose it.
Is there anything I missed in the following 3yr plan?

Year 1:
convert the frame L12 to L22
replace two 3590E with 3592
300 new 2592 tapes

Year 2 and 3:
convert the frame D12 to D22
replace two 3590E with 3592
300 new 2592 tapes

Per the 3592 Planning manual:
   "Existing frame models L10, L12, and L14 frames can also be
converted to the Model L22, and existing D10, D12, and D14
frame models can be converted to the D22 and D24 frames to
accommodate the new 3592 drives."

Re: AW: DSMSERV UNLOADDB

Hi Eric,

What would negative results mean?

We get -0.09 on a 100GB (used space, 30GB exension available)) DB. It has never been 
unloaded / loaded in 2 years, as far as I am aware. I would expect to see more 
fragmentation, I know that large swathes of filespaces / nodes have been added / 
removed in that time.

Matt.

Hi David!
Try the following SQL statement:

SELECT CAST((100 - (CAST(MAX_REDUCTION_MB AS FLOAT) * 256 ) /
(CAST(USABLE_PAGES AS FLOAT) - CAST(USED_PAGES AS FLOAT) ) * 100) AS
DECIMAL(4,2)) AS PERCENT_FRAG FROM DB

It will give you the fragmentation level.

Hi All,
I am surprised by the significant reduction is Pct Utilized. I 
thought in previous discussions that Unload/Reload had minimal impact on 
utilization. I have (2) TSM 5.2.2 servers on AIX with 40GB db's that are 
90% used. I haven't done a unload/reload since there creation 3 years 
ago...do I have an opportunity here?

Thanks in advance,

hmmm thanks David,
As I go through this redbook, I see user exit. Is it real ynecesary to creat
user exit.. because it looks quite comlecated.

As far as basic configuration (until we take backup) is concerned, it is good
and easy, but the maintenance part is quite difficult. !! looks to be dificult
!!

TDP for Oracle clarifications

2004-10-22 Thread Sandra
Dear List,

I need to clarify some bits of information regarding backups/restore/maintenance
of Oracle backups.

1- when we use TDPOSYNC SYNCDB command, it actually inactivates the selected
backup and then TSM, according to the policy verdelete = 0, retonly=0, deletes
the files from the server storage. 

2- As I was using "tdposync syncdb" command, it does not display all the backups
taken. For example, today i initiate a backup and use, tdposync, it displays the

information, and it i use this command tomorrow, it won't display any
information , and says no file matched bla bla.. ! ? Can you kindly clear this
confusion in my head??

3- My scenario is to take backup of one system database "A" and restore it on
other machine which is backup to this machine on daily basis and keep disaster
recovery tapes on offsite for worst case scenario. I have AUTOBACKUP = ON, which
also takes backup of control files. Question is,
- If i m restoring my DB and Control files on backup machine, it
definitely does not have recovery catalog entries as on machine A, would I be
able to restore and start database, provided I have modified tdpo.opt file
(nodename, filespace) and database created on backup machine. That is, would
this work fine and serve my purpose of onsite successful recovery.

with best wishes and kind regards
Sandra

Lets say I have a tape stgpool that has 10 volumes and they all have data on them, 
none being empty.  To only let TSM allocate 2 more scratch tapes to that pool do I set

If you are trying to define a client schedule where the OPTIONS includes
