Running makedamaged on an object when the storagepool doesn'texist??
Hello I've got some objects in my database that points to a volume that does not exist anymore but TSM still think it does and that gives me a lot of errors when I'm running expiration An audit of the DB would solve these problem but the db is too big to do that in a reasonable time.

All the volumes from the original copypool are already deleted and the pool is removed , but TSM still have references to it. Storage Pool ID: -3 Volume ID: 38548 Volume Name: *unknown* The volume_id is the internal volumename in TSM, it has nothing to to with the tape-label. So since the Volume Name is *unknown* I can't do anything with it.. That's why I want to mark the object as damaged, but themakedamaged command requires the storagepool-name, and that name doesn't exist anymore.

I was getting the error ANS8019E before I added the (-) in front of id and password. After adding (-) I dont get an error, but it does not establish a connection with the correct server.

Re: ?anyone using TSM to backup Panasus PanFS?
You could attach the TSM server to the clustered filesystem and allow it to perform the backup from its own client. This might get you better bandwidth if it's done properly. MEMORYEFFICIENT YES will scan one directory at a time per producer thread. This keeps from eating up all system memory, at the expense of some scan speed. Memory usage is 400-1200 bytes per file in the list to be backed up. RESOURCEUTIL 10 is the limit and gets you only 4-6 producers. If you have good bandwidth, and a large number of execution threads, it may be beneficial to run parallel backups. Parallel backups can be used to spread the workload across more threads and/or more systems. virtualnodename or asnode can be used if necessary. VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT can be used to get around scanning areas which should not be backed up rather than excluding those areas. To prevent retransmits, you could perform backups of a replica or a snapshot. Incremental by Date is valuable for your busy days. It won't expire files, but it saves a bunch of time scanning.

Yale uses Panasus PanFS, a massive parallel storage system, to store research data generated from HPC clusters. In considering feasibility to backup PanFS using TSM, we are concerned about whether TSM is appropriate to backup and restore: 1. very large volumes, 2. deep subdirectory hierarchy with 100's to 1000's of sublevels, 3. large numbers of files within individual subdirectories, 4. much larger numbers of files within each directory hierarchy.

Re: TSM administration difference between z/OS and open systems
Learn JCL and batch scheduling. Create linear VSAM files for all TSM pools. Each TSM pool file will be limited to 4GB on a 3390 volume. Forget everything you learn about TSM library manager, most mainframes will have RMM or equivalent to manage the Tape library. Cannot use LTO or DLT tape drives. Can only use enterprise IBM or STK tape drives. Do not use VTS for tape pool. Use the message automation package to your advantage.

Re: TSM Clients on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Nothing specific to Linux or Redhat. General things: If your TSM server is *NIX, you can increase your TCPWINdowsize to 262144 on the server and use a TCPBUFfersize of 131072. Older Windows will have problems with anything over 63. Enabling jumbo frames also helps with CPU load from network transmission. TXNBytelimit and TXNGroupmax can be cranked up to improve the transmit performance.

I've had a look at a performance redbook IBM have previously pointed me to, but it doesn't contain anything specific for Linux. IBM have advised there doesn't seem to be too many problems with performance on Linux, though I would still like to make sure we have it as streamlined as possible. Any ideas?

Niklas, What will happen to TSM for MVS on 2012?
define drive without defining a library
Hi, Can a tape drive be defined in TSM while it is not controlled by a library? The syntax of "define drive" needs a library. Thanks
Re: BMR for Exchange server - Fastback
If TBMR is actually Fastback, that's interesting. Fastback is FilesX, a product and company that IBM purchased April 21, 2008. FilesX is a block level filesystem incremental backup product for MS Windows. They can use VSS for 2003 OS and 2005 Exchange/SQL. For older Exchange/SQL it will initiate a quiesce and will be filesystem aware and will manage the backups properly. Exchange individual mailbox restore is to mount up the backup over the network as a drive. The Exchange agent can access the exchange DB on disk and can pull out individual messages and save them to the running exchange server. For normal files, you can just copy them out of the mounted drive (looks like local, RW, NTFS but changes are lost on unmount). Full restore is to overmount the filesystem with the fastback server copy. At that point, it's similar to a mirror with one copy being the FB server and one copy being the local disk. You can mount/start your apps as soon as you initiate the restore. Any data overwritten will not be restored, and any data requested will be restored first in queue. No dismount is requred at the end of the restore. Bare Metal Recovery uses a PEmode CD to boot and initiate the beginning recovery. Fastback DR is formally through replication to a DR hub via FTP. Repository files are sequential access on disk. To integrate this with TSM, you use TSM to back up the Fastback repository, whether it's a local repository, or the repository of a DR hub. Fastback comes with scripts to integrate with TSM and a couple of other vendors' enterprise products. With friendly regards, Josh-Daniel S. Davis From: Johnny Lea To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Sent: Wed, January 27, 2010 1:20:50 PM Subject: [ADSM-L] BMR for Exchange server I'm lost trying to come up with a bare metal restore product for our Exchange servers. Cristie's CBMR says it treats Exchange data as plain files with nothing to handle the internal structure of Exchange. Not sure about Cristie's TBMR. (my IBM re-seller tells me he talked to Cristie and they told him that their TBMR is IBM Fastback BMR. That sounds strange. Did IBM buy them?) I haven't found anyone yet at IBM who can tell me how Fastback for Bare Metal Restore works with Exchange. Acronis...I know nothing about. I'd love something that would work with my TSM environment. Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks.

Re: ORACLE Encryption
I am using InclExcl list for include.encrypt. For example: include * AIX include /.../* FSLPAR05 include /ifns_ifns/.../* DBLPAR05 include /patm_patm/.../* DBLPAR05 include /ptel_ptel/.../* DBLPAR05 exclude.dir /home/oracle/admin/ifns/adump exclude.dir /home/oracle/admin/patm/adump exclude.dir /home/oracle/admin/ptel/adump exclude.dir /home/oracle/product exclude.compression *.Z exclude.compression /backup05/ias/FS.* include.encrypt /ifns_ifns/.../* include.encrypt /patm_patm/.../* include.encrypt /ptel_ptel/.../* include.encrypt *.dmp.Z It means I have include.encrypt in include/exclude list for the both file systems and databases.

Re: SV: [ADSM-L] define drive without defining a library
the problem of a manual library is that there is no medium changer and so you cannot define a path to the library. correct me if I am mistaken: 1- define library 2- define path for library 3- define drive 4- define path for drive
