Re: VM backup question

2016-01-28 Thread Storer, Raymond
Robert, you might use the -vm parameter to exclude certain VMs in your DSM.OPT 
file.
DOMAIN.VMFULL VMHOSTCLUSTER=CLUSTER_NAME;-VM=VM_TO_EXCLUDE1,VM_TO_EXCLUDE2

Also, in your DSM.OPT file you can add INCLUDE.VMDISK options to specifically 
target VM disks you want (which excludes the other disks you do not 
specifically include).
INCLUDE.VMDISK EXACT VM NAME GOES HERE "Hard Disk 1"

Disk(s) not specifically included restore blank at their full size during a 
full VM restore.  I forget if a way exists to prevent the other disks from 
restoring in a full restore.

If you see issues with VM backups or restores, you might also consider adding
testflag VMBACKUP_UPDATE_UUID
to your DSM.OPT file to force the backup to save the UUID every time you 
perform a VM backup.

Good luck!

Subject: [ADSM-L] VM backup question

Hi to all

I have a VMware farm with around 300 VM machines and I try to figure the best  
way to configure the backup with TSM for VE V7.1.4 .


1.   Need to backup for all the machines the "Hard disk 1"

2.   Our structure don't let us to do it with VMfolder , think about 
domain.vmfull vmdatastore= data1.,data2, etc

3.   Need for some VM machines to backup all disks or at least more than 
"Hard disk 1" ,  and some machines not to back up at all

Any help will be appreciated 

Best Regards

Robert

SQL statement

2016-01-28 Thread Loon, EJ van (ITOPT3) - KLM
Hi guys!
I'm trying to join the filespaces and occupancy tables in one SQL statement, 
but I get stuck on the point where I want to calculate with the amount of 
days...
I would like to create a list of filespaces (node_name, 
filespace_name,backup_end) which are not backed up for more than 30 days, along 
with the amount of data stored for them in GB (cast(round(physical_mb/1024) as 
int) as "GB Stored"), sorted on size, the largest first.
Can anybody help me out here? Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Re: SQL statement

Eric,

One other line you can add to the select section is:
DAYS(current_timestamp)-DAYS(f.BACKUP_END) AS DAYS_SINCE_BACKUP -

Which will list the number of days since this filespace completed a
backup. I use that in our query to list old filespaces due for cleanup.

Re: Upgrade server from 6.3 to 7.1

2016-01-28 Thread Zoltan Forray
So, if I read correctly, to reduce my activelogsize, I

1.  Backup the DB
2.  Stop the TSM server
3.  DELETE everything in the activelog directory/filesystem (in my case -
/tsmlog) i.e. rm /tsmlog/*
4.  Change ACTIVELOGSIZE to 65536
5.  Restart the TSM server

Or is it simpler than that, i.e. just change ACTIVELOGSIZE and restart the
server.  Unless I missed it, the link/article posted by Erwann (
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21677011)  doesn't
clarify.  It just says "*Decrease the ACTIVELOGSIZE to allow the current
filesystem to be 20% greater than the ACTIVELOGSIZE specified*" but no link
says exactly how to do it.

Good call, a filter like this would do the trick:

Re: When can too many disk volumes be detrimental

2016-01-28 Thread Huebner, Andy
This is long, but I hope it helps without being too specific.

From you description I think you have violated my disk usage rules.

Tape drives are very fast, disk drives (SSD too) are very slow (sequential 
access), that is why we gang disks together (RAID) to keep up.  If you have a 
very large RAID group and are writing to more than 1 tape drive you cause 
random seeks which slow down the throughput of the RAID group.
When TSM writes to a disk pool it writes each session sequentially, but when 
there is more than 1 session it appears random to the RAID group.

When I build disk volumes I try to limit the data written in such a way that 
the number of tape drives to be fed from each pool (RAID group for me) is 
limited.  Because tape drives can take data faster than a RAID group can send 
it with many seeks you can end up with the tape drive stopping and starting.  
This really slows down the tape drive.

More smaller disks (therefore RAID groups) to many tape drives will always win. 
 The speed of the disk is less important when there are many arms (AS/400 
speak) allowing for more than 1 access to occur at the same time.

SSD solves the random access problem, but you still need to configure SSD for 
GB/sec not IOPS.

The last disk pool I built was on a slow disk array (it was retired and 
'gifted' to backups)  To make it less slow I built many mirrored RAID 
groups.(1+0)  Each became a file system and each contained a volume from each 
disk pool. The actual disks were 500GB FC disks.  Ganged to together they were 
able to keep up with 3592 drives (110MB/sec + compression).
One file system per RAID group helps reduce seeks and allows for TSM and AIX to 
understand the disk layout and cache better.

I would avoid the purchase of large disks that are to be used for the transient 
daily backups in favor or smaller disks.  I know there is a cost part to the 
problem so you have to make the best possible choice which may not be the best 
choice for the server.

Subject: [ADSM-L] When can too many disk volumes be detrimental

RedHat Linux 6.7 with TSM 6.3.5.100

Back in the "good old days" of ADSM/TSM, I was always taught that the more TSM 
disk volumes you had, the better since TSM would spread the I/O's across the 
volumes in a somewhat balanced manner, to improve performance.
Yes I realize this was with multiple physical spindles.

Now with bigger hard drives, I am wondering if having to many volumes is 
hurting I/O performance. Here is the situation.

We recently replaced 2-TSM servers that had rolled off warranty (4-year old 
Dell T710 systems) that had 8-600GB internal disk. The new servers are T720 
systems with *6TB* drives (both have 96GB RAM).  So I went from roughly
*5TB* of internal disk storage for inbound backups to *30TB*. I went from 
multiple 300GB disk volumes to 30-1TB volumes. Plus add 20TB of SAN space gives 
me 40-disk volumes.

The reasons for my concern is the time it takes to move the data from disk to 
tape.  I am seeing it take 11-hours to empty (move data) a 100% full 1TB disk 
volume.  To me, this is very, very slow.

We had a hard disk failure that for some reason (all RAID5) took out part of 
the OS partition and damaged the /tsmlog and /tsmarchlog filesystems, forcing 
me to restore from a 8-hour old DB backup (even Dell said this should not have 
happened so they replaced the drive and PERC controller).
It has taken more than *2-weeks* of non-stop audit, move data of non-damaged 
files, restore of damaged files - processes against the internal disk volumes. 
I recorded some audits running 32-hours).

As I redefine/rebuild the disk volumes, I am starting to create 2 and 3TB 
volumes to see if that helps improve performance.

So, your thoughts/ideas/suggestions on what might be going on here.

One other line you can add to the select section is:

Which will list the number of days since this filespace completed a

So, if I read correctly, to reduce my activelogsize, I

1.  Backup the DB
2.  Stop the TSM server
3.  DELETE everything in the activelog directory/filesystem (in my case -
/tsmlog) i.e. rm /tsmlog/*
4.  Change ACTIVELOGSIZE to 65536
5.  Restart the TSM server

Or is it simpler than that, i.e. just change ACTIVELOGSIZE and restart the
server.  Unless I missed it, the link/article posted by Erwann (
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21677011)  doesn't
clarify.  It just says "*Decrease the ACTIVELOGSIZE to allow the current
filesystem to be 20% greater than the ACTIVELOGSIZE specified*" but no link
says exactly how to do it.

Re: When can too many disk volumes be detrimental

2016-01-28 Thread Zoltan Forray
Andy,

Thanks for the information.  It sounds like you are sort-of agreeing that
having too many TSM disk volumes is a factor in my slowness (i.e. 30-1TB
volumes is bad since I have them all in one array so reducing to fewer,
larger TSM volumes per array could help.)

I agree SSD would help but we can't afford it.  Even trying for 2-1TB
mirrored volumes for the DB (500GB drives would cut it too close since the
DB on this system is currently 315GB) is cost prohibitive.

Mike,

Can you expand on your statement about RHEL read-ahead cache and some
tuning/config document you refer to?   We were unaware of such a document
(or config value).  The RHEL read-ahead cache is set to the default of
128K.  Currently all caching is via PERC.

Well, what are you trying to protect? Backing up Eucalyptus (the CLC
database, etc.) itself should not be that difficult.

Ephemeral EC2 instance storage should not be backed up at all (by the
cloud infrastructure). Educate the users to consider them throw-away
storage and to make sure that the applications can survives a loss of
an instance in one AZ. EBS storage can be backed up to S3 using
snapshots, just like you do in AWS. Perhaps it might make sense to
back up S3 (walrus) to TSM?

Mike,

Thanks, again.  Very helpful.  So, did I understand your earlier
statement/comment that you disagree with "*Set the LVM read-ahead to 0 for
all logical volumes on disk systems that provide adaptive read-ahead
capabilities, for example, enterprise-type disk systems.*"

I also read the statement "*For the Tivoli Storage Manager database and
logs, use the ext3 file system.*"   Whats up with that?  They explain why
you should use ext4 for the storage volumes but no details on ext3 for
DB/logs?

When you reduce the size of the active log, you have to restart the TSM server 
twice.  The first restart just changes the DB2 parameters.  The second restart 
removes the log files that are no longer required.

Re: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [ADSM-L] Upgrade server from 6.3 to 7.1

Great.  So just reduce the actlogsize value and restart the server twice.
I have a server whose DB backups constantly fail with the -2428 error since
I set actlogsize to 120GB and the filesystem only has 126GB total space.

Hi Zoltan,

I don't think that restarting the server twice after having modified the 
activelogsize is still necessary as it was the case in early TSM v6 versions. 
You'll tell us.

Be prepared to have a DB backup to automatically start (to the default 
DBRECOVERY device class).

Great.  So just reduce the actlogsize value and restart the server twice.
I have a server whose DB backups constantly fail with the -2428 error since
I set actlogsize to 120GB and the filesystem only has 126GB total space.
