Upgrade of Linux Client 5.3->5.4 and filesystem ACLs
Hello TSMers! After upgrading the TSM Linux client on one of our fileservers (x68_64) from 5.3.5 to 5.4.1, the next incremental started to backup all files again. I traced this to a change in the handling of filesystem ACLs by the TSM client. The filesystem in question is xfs. For the time being, I went back to 5.3.5 (server is 5.4.1.0 on W2K3). I can live with that for a while. I traced the problem with strace and client -TRACEFLags=service. This shows that the 5.4 does not use the libacl interface, but accesses the extended attributes directly with the getxattr system call. And indeed, the TSM client trace shows this: 04.02.2008 12:48:39.468 : unxfilio.cpp(1571): fioCmpAttribs: Attribute comparison of two directories Attribute Old New - --- --- File mode16893 16893 uid501 501 gid100 100 ACL size 424 0 ACL checksum3721320641 0 Xattr size 0 494 Xattr checksum 0 3013615671 04.02.2008 12:48:39.468 : fileio.cpp (4627): fioCmpAttribs(): old attrib's data from build (IBM TSM 5.4.1.2) 04.02.2008 12:48:39.468 : unxfilio.cpp(1825): -->Attribs different: returning ATTRIBS_BACKUP It is interesting that in Technote swg21249081 libacl is mentioned as a potential problem to look for, but not getxattr. I made sure that libacl is present, but the strace output shows that it isn't used. This is very annoying. It means that the TSM client will probably force a backup of every file with an ACL when I upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4. Is this change documented somewhere? Is there a way to go back to either using libacl with the 5.4 client, or get the same ACL size/checksum from the Attributes comparison?

Question: Is this possible with TSM?
Is it possible using multiple master servers (vaulting?) to make a secondary backup in an alternate location? Example: Assume you do cross-site backups between 2 sites. siteA -> backup to -> siteB (has its own master) siteB -> backup to -> siteA (has its own master) If you have another site, call it siteC, can you do this with vaulting/or some other way? siteA -> backup to -> siteB (and also/or later copy to) -> siteC siteB -> backup to -> siteA (and also/or later copy to) -> siteC Keep in mind siteA,B,C each have their own master server. What would be the best way to accomplish this? This would solve the problem of a dual site failure. I already asked this on the veritas-bu mailing list, there are 'workarounds' or ways to do this but not how I had envisioned it. Is this possible with TSM? Or is there a way to make TSM HA so you could have the same master clustered across 3 different sites so if two went away there would be no problems? Justin.
Re: Where can I find the downloadable TSM 5.5 documentation?
The eclipse plugins are used to build your own online documentation server, so you don't have to rely on IBM's server being available. I've been burned in the past by IBM taking systems down for maintenance at the same time I'm doing maintenance or upgrades. As a result, I've come to the attitude that documentation that is not available locally will NOT be available during critical downtimes.

Re: Question: Is this possible with TSM?
Yes there is ... Do a search on FCIP in the mailing list there should be a couple posts Essentially you have a TSM Library manager at an offsite location hooked to a Tape Library, then use server to server communications and have Site A create its offsite copy to site b etc. FYI - There's no Master / Media server concept, I know I may a bit retentive here but its one of those things that just bugs, like the Don't use the Hair Dryer in the Shower label -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 6:52 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Question: Is this possible with TSM?

TSM Windows Bare Metal Recovery options
Hello, we have been looking for an agent that can provide Windows BMR and that integrates nicely into TSM. We have look at CBMR with some mixed results. Can anyone provide some perspective on BMR software packages and any experiences deploying and maintaining these environments? We need to make a selection and some of our techs want to deploy BackupExec and back the backup with TSM, which I believe is a bad idea. Thanks in advance for the help. Kenneth L.

Re: TSM for SYS-back & Recovery!!
James is right, you can boot from a Sysback server (your TSM server, most likely), it doesn't have to be a NIM server. Sysback calls this the "classic" method. Since a lot of people already have NIM servers, the Sysback developers decided to leverage that and allow you to install Sysback into the NIM SPOT, so you could restore with a NIM server. But it's not necessary. Steve On 2/4/08, James Drozynski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >You don't need a nim server... If you have set TSM up correctly > it will have a spot to start the download.

Re: TSM Windows Bare Metal Recovery options
TSM can be used as a BMR tool, but it does require some scripting, particularly if you have clients aside from Windows 2000/2003. The available BMR packages that I'm aware of either perform poorly, or are rather expensive. Why buy additional software when TSM can do the work, with a little before-DR work on the part of the administrator? -- Mark Stapleton CDW Berbee System engineer 7145 Boone Avenue North, Suite 140 Brooklyn Park MN 55428-1511 763-592-5963 www.berbee.com > -Original Message- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Bradberry, Kenneth > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 10:11 AM > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM Windows Bare Metal Recovery options > > Hello, we have been looking for an agent that can provide Windows BMR > and that integrates nicely into TSM.

Backing up Groupwise on Netware Server
Hi, Does anyone have any information on backing up a Groupwise mailserver on Netware(6.5 SP6) using a TSM server (AIX). IBM have stated that the best I can hope for is a fuzzy backup. Not really a good selling point when I'm trying to provide a single backup solution to the company. I keep finding references to St Bernards Open File Manager but need more info on how this would work. Any advice, opt file examples, configurations or tech papers gratefully received.

Re: Backing up Groupwise on Netware Server
On possibility for your to look at is GWBACKUP... http://support.novell.com/techcenter/articles/ana19991005.html http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw55/index.html?page=/documentation/gw55/gw55mnt/data/a3n60nr.html GWBACKUP will allow you to dump the data to flat files. You can then use the TSM Backup-Archive client to send and store those files on the TSM Server.

Re: Backing up Groupwise on Netware Server
I admined GW For about 9 years, and the best overall for TSM is St. Bernard's OFM. The GWBackup utility creates an exact copy of your Post Office to another location, but that adds Admin overhead. The GWTSA would work great if IBM would get off their butt and support it. Then GW Becomes just another file system, only messages, sort of like the tsands did for NDS. Set your opt file just like you would any other TSM NetWare client, and install St. Bernard to handle the open files. I've done restores after this kind of backup, and if the backup was complete, the restore always worked. Make sure you exclude the wpsin and wpsout type folders, as TSM will complain. I don't have a copy of all the excludes handy. The main folders to make *sure* you get are the ofuser, ofmsg, offile, and the post office db files.

Re: TSM DR restore query
Neil, In my opinion that TSM server is having disk contention problems. At one customer, running TSM on Windows 2003 server, they perform regular DR test restores of their TSM DB (approximately 45GB, 52% of 80GB total DB volumes), and it finishes in less than 1.5 hours. However, this is in their test environment with their DB and Logs on separate SAN LUNs, if they test the DR on a less capable Windows server (with limited internal disk drives) it takes a lot longer. BTW, I did implement your suggestion. Basically, the production TSM server used SAN for the first copy of the DB and Log volumes, and we used TSM mirror copies on a separate SAN (approximately 2 miles away). We did develop a DR strategy to "recover" the TSM DB from that mirrored copy, and successfully tested that strategy multiple times. We eventually stepped away from that strategy because of potential support issues. Possible support issues were a black cloud when discussing DR procedures with the backup clients.

I need to devise a solution to speed up DR for one of my customers. Currently their DR solution is the classic restore from TSM DB tape and then load all of the off site tapes into the DR library and then perform the client restores. The problem is that the TSM DB restore can take in the region of 5 hours. The TSM DB is 45GB. I was thinking of using the following method. Can any one see any issues with this? *On the primary TSM server:* They have a Windows 2003 Standard Edition TSM server. I am proposing that we set up TSM DB and log mirroring, one copy on local disk and the second copy on SAN attached disk. *On the DR site:* They also have a TSM 2003 Standard Edition TSM server. When DR is to be tested / invoked, I would propose that they re-zone the DR TSM server to access the LUN that contains the DB and logs. Ensure that the DR TSM server's dsmserv.dsk points to the mapped drives. Note the the TSM tape library is also SAN attached. Any comments / experiences would be appreciated.
update node question
Hello, I have made a change on an existing Domain DB2, the MIGDESTination=DBBACKUPPOOL, then I validate and activate the po. Do I have to update the nodes that was using the domain DB2 previous to make the backup work? If not, will it cause the backup to fail tonight? upd node somenode domain=DB2 Avy Wong Business Continuity Administrator Mohegan Sun 1 Mohegan Sun Blvd Uncasville, CT 06382 (860)862-8164 (cell) (860)961-6976
