Does reclamation rewrite data block headers?

2008-06-20 Thread Matthew Large
Guys,

We are having some problems with VTL machines, and the support guys would like 
to find out if TSM rewrites the data headers when moving from tape-to-tape.

Cheers,
Matthew

If you mean tape labels:  I don't do VTL, but it has been standard in
TSM that it requires removable media to have been previously labeled
with a static, unique identity.  When it moves data across volumes,
the volumes retain their original identities, as is essential in
tracking volumes.  I've not encountered anything in my reading which
indicates that VTL would be treated differently.

VTLs can provide replication, where the entirety of the volume,
including label, is imaged, but that's outside TSM.

2008-06-20 Thread Kauffman, Tom
All I can offer is a rule of thumb -- if you get write errors that are not the 
result of a dirty drive, throw it out. If you get read errors on the same tape 
on two different drives, throw it out.

We ran about 130 LTO-1 tapes in both LTO-1 and LTO-2 drives for slightly over 
seven years and I ended up dumping six tapes over the period.

Is there a way to find out if your tapes are nearing their end-of-use? I use
a 3584, and unfortunately am still having to deal with LTO-1/2 cartridges.
How can I tell, either from TSM (which I doubt) or from 3584 hardware level
what the amount-of-times used/mounted is? Normally, between myself and the
mainframe guys, we get rid of a certain range of volumes based on when we
bought them and bar code number. Is there a way to determine use? Thanks!

Yea.  I wouldn't know if it completely rewrites it, I would think it
would just append to it.  But, that's a level of detail I remember
hearing once, but not worrying about it enough to remember the details.

Re: Does reclamation rewrite data block headers?

2008-06-20 Thread Kauffman, Tom
Which headers?

IIRC, TSM uses ANSI-standard tape labeling. So the VOL1 (tape label) is created 
when the tape is initialized and doesn't get updated/re-written from then on.

Each file should have a 'HDR1' label; this belongs to the file, so it will get 
written to the 'new' tape. From what I've read, TSM uses the file name field of 
the HDR1 label to store a bit-map pointer to the TSM database record that 
describes the file (the reason you can't recover the tape data without the TSM 
database).

Re: Does reclamation rewrite data block headers?

2008-06-20 Thread Matthew Large
Hi Richard,

Thanks for that - we are looking at the possibility that the VTL is not reading 
the moved data as already deduplicated and is making more unique-date tags when 
it shouldn't be.

In that respect, I don't think we're looking at tape label headers, more like 
scsi block headers?

I could be wrong though.

Cheers,
Matthew

ANS1009W DRM and ASR backup issues

2008-06-20 Thread Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU
TSM client - Windows 2003 server - SP2 x64 5.5.0.6

Started seeing these errors:

06/19/2008 11:02:58 ANS1009W An error occurred processing the operating
system include/exclude statements.
The error was detected while processing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup\DRM.
RC = 13.

Went through the registry editing/key correction process as per IBM doc.

Now we get the errors:

06/20/2008 10:49:17 ANS1468E Backing up Automated System Recovery (ASR)
files failed.  No files will be backed up.

Did everything suggested. Deleted ASR stuff on TSM
serverCompletely deleted the C:\adsm.sys directory

All to no avail. Manual and scheduled backups still fail.

User even tried complete un/reinstall of the TSM client.

Any other suggestions to fix this?


Vanishing Vault Retrieve tapes

2008-06-20 Thread Angus Macdonald
I have a little problem with one of my Tivoli 5.3 systems. Tapes in the  vault 
gradually expire during the week and are recovered once per week, on Mondays. 
However, some tapes fall into Vault Retrieve status and are then "lost" 
overnight. For example, I have one tape today that was in Vault Retrieve 24 
hours ago but today cannot be found anywhere in Tivoli. It's still in the 
vault. When I do a q vol on it, it's not found. Other tapes that were in the 
same state yesterday still are. Nothing in the activity log references this 
missing tape so nobody has run any commands against it.

So, can tapes that fall into Vault retrieve expire in some way?

Doesn't "primarylibmanager" imply that you can have a secondary/redundant

Re: PRIMarylibmanager

2008-06-20 Thread Jim Neal
Hi Drew,

You can support multiple library managers (not recommended).  You can
also support a Library manager and other tsm instances that are configured
to individually talk to the same library.  However, you will need to make
sure that each manager or instance that accesses the same library has a
different private category and scratch category from the other instances,
otherwise you will have contention and/or access issues.  Lastly, you can
define one instance as a library manager and all other instances as library
clients so that the manager will allocate tape and library resources on an
as needed basis.  Good luck.

The command to define a library manager to a library client is:

define library sangroup libtype=shared primarylibmanager=astro

Doesn't "primarylibmanager" imply that you can have a secondary/redundant
library manager

Can you?  I don't seem to see any documentation on it.

HP/UX Client Journal Setup

2008-06-20 Thread Welton, Charles
Hello...
 
I was just wondering if anyone knows, if it is possible, to setup a
journal based backup for HP/UX clients?  If so... can anyone point me to
some good documentation on how to configure?  I have been looking
throughout the web... I can't find anything.
 
In case this information is needed... the TSM HP/UX client version is
5.3.4.0 and the TSM server is running 5.4.2.0.
 
Thank you...

Guys,

We are having some problems with VTL machines, and the support guys would
like to find out if TSM rewrites the data headers when moving from
tape-to-tape.

Cheers,
Matthew
