Have been thinking about this.  We are counting on getting rid of
the I/O to the copy pool, as well as the db meta-data associated
to it.  So I don't think this is where we want to go.

It's also not just one pool, but one disk system.  With tape you loose
individual pieces of media.  A hdwr or os bug could loose all your
backups,
and that's kind of scary.

In stead of two pools (primary and copy) I've been thinking of
DD snapshots.  The problem with snapshots is that they are over the entire
DD filesystem, and, that there is no way to revert the entire filesystem
back to a snapshot (you can only copy stuff out of a snap). A snapshot
might be useful for a TSM database backup, but not for a filepool of
all your backups.

Hello Daniel,

You say : ' That's not really something new to TSM v6'.

DB2 is now the DBMS for TSM, and if DB2 improve database, DB2 has system 
requirement who was not the same in previous version

My experience:
The installer has set up the solution on our site has not implemented the 
recommendations related to DB2.
TSM crash after two months.

That's not really something new to TSM v6. For performance reasons, it has 
always been recommended to separate database and log on different spindles. 

As with v6, at least for larger implementations, the same rule of thumb 
applies: Try separating your DB paths on at least 4 different arrays/spindles, 
preferably 8 or more. Too many will not increase performance, rather reduce it. 
Put your active log / log mirror on spindles of it's own, as well as your 
archivelog / failover paths.

Watch out for sharing archivelog with something else (like storage) since the 
database backup trigger will look at the % used on the filesystem. So putting 
storagepools and then your archivelog in the same filesystem probably isnt the 
best of ideas.

Best Regards

Hello Gary,

Effectively, the database grows between 10 and 20 %. (more if new features, 
like dedup, are intalled)
But, the most important with the 6.x is the architecture of database files.
You have to reserve one disk for the database, on for the actlog and one other 
for the archlog.
Having this disks on the same axe may result poor efficientie

We are preparing to migrate our tsm v5,5,4 system to 6.2.2.


Are there any rules of thumb for relating db size in v5.5.4 with what we will 
need under v6?

I assume it will be somewhat larger being a truly relational structure.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Gregory


My comment was to this previous comment:

"But, the most important with the 6.x is the architecture of database files.
You have to reserve one disk for the database, on for the actlog and one other 
for the archlog.
Having this disks on the same axe may result poor efficientie"

What I ment was that it has never been recommended to share the same array / 
spindle / filesystem between logs and database.

If you go back to the TSM v5.5 performance guide, you'll will notice the 
recommendation to separate log and DB on separate spindles / filesystems / 
arrays.

As for DB2, yes, DB2 is new for v6, but the performance setup isnt.

My guess is that if your setup crashed after 2 months, whoever implemented your 
solution probably shared filesystemspace between the database and some other 
part of TSM, such as archivelog or log. Since a) the database can now grow "of 
it's own" I wouldnt place it with something else since you might run out of 
space b) I wouldnt share archivelog space with something else either since it 
also "grows of it's own".

I cant imagine that your TSM implementation crashed just because the person who 
implemented it placed the database on a single filesystem. This is technically 
possible, but not something I would recommend due to performance issues.

TSM for DB password expiration

2011-03-25 Thread David E Ehresman
Has anyone had problems with TSM for DB (Oracle), aka TDPO, and password
expiration?

We are running TSM for DB v5.5.1.0 with TSM api 6.2.2.0 on AIX 5.3 to a
TSM server at 6.2.2.0 also on AIX 5.3. We are running with password
generate.  Last night we got two ANR0425W password has expired messages
for node DBFINTEST. I assume I got two messages because the rman command
is using two channels, thus two concurrent TSM sessions.  At that point
the password should have been set to something new and life should go
on.  Instead, subsequent sessions for that node got the "ANS0282E
Password file is not available.", ie password is incorrect, message.

Any thoughts on what might be going wrong?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the nodes password has expired, 
passwordaccess generate will not set a new password for the client. You'll have 
to set a new password for the node, and then use tdpoconf to update the stored

Re: Ang: TSM for DB password expiration

2011-03-25 Thread Howard Coles
For the Oracle TDP on AIX you have to set the passwordaccess option to prompt, 
as the TDP will NOT update the password.  The best option here is to set the 
password expiration to 0 on both the node, and the admin owner (if you have it) 
of the node.  

However, what Daniel said is correct unless you run "update node server-oracle 
passexp=0" AND "update admin server-oracle passexp=0", then it will just keep 
on using the same password.

As I know, from TDP for DB (Oracle)  v.5.4.? option passwordaccess

Try to check that TSM.PWD owned by Oracle user. If not - TDP can't

We are seeing activity log messages like the following:

ANE4987E (Session: 326356, Node: STMEDIA)  Error processing
'\\stmedia\c$\Windows\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\SCHEMA.DAT.LOG1':
the object is in use by another process

for a number of Windows 2008 client systems with 6.2.1.0 client
code. Is this going to compromise our ability to recover these
systems?

TSM Parallel restores question

2011-03-25 Thread andresms5
I'm looking into methods for HSM for my company.

One of the requirements I have is that restores must use the maximum speed we 
can achieve.

I have looked at several TSM pages, but couldn't find something that explicitly 
explains how parallel restores (the NQR option) are going to be performed.

My specific question is: Do all copies have to go over the server or can they 
go over different paths?

For example:
2 files (F1,F2) are to be restored to two different primary systems (P1,P2) 
from 2 different secondary storage systems (S1,S2). Does TSM support a physical 
connection like the one shown bellow in a) or does it have to be a connection 
such as the one shown in b)
a)
P1 <- F1 -- S1
P2 <- F2 -- S2

b)
P1 <--F1---\/---F1 S1
- Server --
P2 <--F2---/\---F2 S2

Re: TSM Parallel restores question

2011-03-25 Thread Richard Sims
HSM and backup-restore are very different concepts with equally different 
handling and, usually, architecture.  While backup/restore is essentially 
serialized, HSM is on demand parallelized via independent processes.  Define 
your objectives and then seek a storage architecture to fit the needs.
