HP-UX11 and TDPoracle
Hy all, today I tried to install Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle (2.1.10) on a HP-UX 11-Server. On this Server is already TSM-Client 3.7.2 installed for file-system backups. During the installation process the program detects a newer version of the api (3.7.2) and doesn't install TDPoracle. In the "Installation and User's Guide" is written, that it requires api-version 3.7.1 (only). Do I really have to downgrade TSM-client-version to 3.7.1 or is there a workaround ? Does this work in a 64-bit HP-UX environment (Oracle 32-bit) ? Thanks for help Christoph
Point-In-Time-Restore
Hy all, today again a question concerning Point-In-Time-Restore : Following situation : I did make backups of a node for more than half a year. Many files have prduced versions on the backup-server, a lot of files did not because they did not change since start of backup. My policy says it will keep 10 versions for lets say 3 month. Now I start a full backup of the whole client. I produce a new version of all files. For many of those files that had only produced one version up to this date, the retention-period will cause this older version to be deleted. Now I have to make a point-in-time restore to five days before. The old version of some files is deleted (because of retention-period), the new (but identical) file came later into the backup-server. Will my restore get this file or will it be missed ?? This question came up because some people around me wanted to make a full backup on a regular base. Server : AIX 4.3.3 TSM 3.7.4 Clients : TSM 3.7 Can anybody give me an answer (otherwise I have to build up some test-scenarios) ? Thanks Christoph
GUI on Solaris 8
Hy all, a collegue of mine has to install the TSM-Client for SUN-Solaris 8.0 . Client OS-Level is Solaris 8, TSM-Client-Level is 4.1.2.12, TSM-Server : AIX 4.3.3, TSM 3.7.4 After installation the gui-client on the SUN runs fine if I start it from an X-window. If I start it from CDE it opens the window only with icons not with the description of the icons and writes the following error-messages : Warning : Name : FONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG_STRING CLASS : XmRendition Conversion failed. Cannot load fonts. Warning : No font found By clicking on one icon, the machine writes a core-dump. What to do, that dsm can find fonts on this client , or whats wrong ? Thanks for help Christoph

AW: Can I install TDP for Oracle on HP 9000/800 (64bit) and Oracl e 8. 0.5 (64bit) ?
Hy Michael, I had the same problem 3 weeks ago. You can use TDP for Oracle on HP 64bit environment, no problem but : you have to use the correct API. Here is what I got from the list : Hi Christoph, Yes. you can not run the TDPO 2.1.10 with the 3.7.2 client I logged a PMR with tivoli for this and this is the response I got. Customer is right. TDP for Oracle 2.1.10 on HP-UX requires the 3.7.1 API A higher level of the API like 3.7.2 API will not work. There is already a doc APAR IC27223 opened against this issue. The local fix of this APAR is to run the v3.7.2 Client in combination with the v3.7.1 API: - Save the TSM v3.7.1 API library (libApiDS.sl) to a separate directory, it should be installed by default in /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin - Install the latest version of the TSM v3.7.2 client. - Replace the current TSM v3.7.2 API library with the TSM API v3.7.1 library saved in the first step. NOTE: This solution will only work if the TSM v3.7.2 client does not require the use of the v3.7.2 API. For instance, logical volume backups (image backups) require the v3.7.2 API. I especially like the first sentence... This is what I do. 1. install TSM 3.7.1.0 b/a client including api. 2. install IBMADSMaob 2.1.0.7 (this is where the agent.lic file is) 3. copy the /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/libApiDS.sl to /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/libApiDS.sl.371 4. upgrade TSM b/a client to 3.7.2.x (i'm running 3.7.2.16) 5. copy /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/libApiDS.sl /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/libApiDS.sl.3.7.2 6. cp /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/libApiDS.sl.371 /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/libApiDS.sl This works, but you can't use the logical volume backups. This will work for oracle 32 bit only. = Best wishes Christoph > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet am: Mittwoch, 11.

reconcile volumes
Hy all, Background : 2 AIX-Servers as TSM-Server (TSM 3.7.4). Each server sends its copy-pool date via Server-to-Server to a storage-pool on the other server (seq access primary pool --> Magstar-Tape). I have a reclamation threshold at 80% on the seq acc stg pool and a threshold of 90% for the copy-pool-volumes on the originating server. My question about 'reconcile volumes' : every day before backing up my TSM-database I run a reconcile volumes with fix=yes on both of my TSM-servers. I get warnings like the following for about 40 Volumes : 05/07/01 05:48:43 ANR4359W RECONCILE VOLUMES: Volume BC0ADSM2.BFS.973060068 not valid, the size of the volume on target server does not match the size on the source server. 05/07/01 05:48:44 ANR4361W RECONCILE VOLUMES: Volume BC0ADSM2.BFS.975652121 not valid, the target server has reported damage to all or part of the volume. The job completes with the following messages : 05/07/01 05:48:46 ANR4345I RECONCILE VOLUMES completed for device class BC02DEVCL; (process ID 363); 3501 volumes inspected, 38 invalid volumes found, 0 volumes deleted. 05/07/01 05:48:46 ANR4336W RECONCILE VOLUMES process ended, process ID 363. 05/07/01 05:48:46 ANR0987I Process 363 for RECONCILE VOLUMES (REPAIR) running in the BACKGROUND processed 3501 items with a completion state of SUCCESS at 05:48:46. Many of the volumes (not all) bring the same message on next day. How do I get rid of these messages, what do they exactly mean and how can I make the copy-pool-data rebuild ? Thanks Christoph

Hy all, we have installed a NDS 8 on a WIN2000 Machine. Does anybody has experience in backing up such a system (in a consistant manner). Thanks for help Christoph
Problems Netware 5
Hy all, last days we had (and have) some problems with clients on Novell. Every night one or two (of about 20) novell-server hang after starting a scheduled backup-operation. The logs say 'unable to connect ...' and it looks as if the client continuesly tries to transfer data (but gets no connection to the server). On the TSM-server no session to the client is alive after 900 sec (CommTimeOut-Parameter). If we then try to unload the TSM-Client with "unload dsmcad.nlm" and "unload dsmc.nlm" a message pops up, that you should be sure that there is no activity on the client, otherwise the system may hang. If you now unload the nlm's the system breaks and reboots. Has anybody seen this before and knows how to solve this problem Thanks Christoph Some Infos about the Systems : TSM-Server : AIX 4.3.3 TSM : 3.7.4 Netware-Client : 5.1 + Service Pack 2A TSM : 3.7.2 DSMSCHED.LOG 06/19/2001 20:18:01 Normal File-->37,274 SYS:/SYSTEM/NMA/NTREND/1010.NT [Sent] 06/19/2001 20:18:06 Normal File--> 4,506 SYS:/SYSTEM/NMA/NTREND/1011.NT [Sent] 06/19/2001 20:18:09 Normal File-->37,274 SYS:/SYSTEM/NMA/NTREND/1012.NT [Sent] 06/19/2001 20:18:09 ANS1872E Unable to connect to NetWare target service 'THO-DE_FE01.NetWare File System'.

Reclamation of COPY-POOL-Volumes
Hy all, we have two backup-server, where we write our data to a tape-library. For all our tape-pools we have defined one copy-pool which links to the other server where the data are written to a separate tape-pool (pool_extern). We have defined collocation for all our pools. When I now run reclamation on the copy_pool I see, that for all copy-pool-volume the server deletes, he defines a new one where the rest of the data are transfered. This seems to be logical (because the reclaimed volumes are not empty and the rest of the data has to be handeled like this because collocation is on) but what I wanted is to reduce the number of volumes in the copy-pool. How can I manage this and what is the real right way to reclaim data in a copy-pool (or do I have to set the 'Maximum Scratch Volumes Allowed'-Parameter in the Copy-Pool-Definition to unlimited ?). Thanks for help Christoph
AW: Reclamation of COPY-POOL-Volumes
Thanks, but I think it is some more complicated : because it works with server-to-server connection for every client the server creates a new logical volume (on the source server) each day a 'copy stg_pool' is started. On the target server all logical volumes (of all clients) of one 'copy stg_pool' session are stored on one tape until it is filled up. So I do want collocated data but I do want some reclamation where the lets say 10% of valid data of more then one volume are stored together on one new logical volume (e.g. delete 5 volumes create 1 new). If this is handeled by putting 'reclamation threshold' to 90% for copy_pool it's ok, but what it looks like on my server is that he creates one new logical volume for one reclamed old one (so for the target server reclamation works, but on the source server the number of logical volumes increases from day to day).

TDP-Oracle 2.2 Unix
Hy all, we are trying to set up TDP for Oracle 2.2 on a HP-UX box. We do not manage to assign a separate managment class to the filespace '/adsmorc'. Although we have an include 'include /adsmorc/.../* unix_tdp' in the inclexcl-list the files are always assigned to the default-management-class. In the error-log the following message is written : "Management class 'ORCBACKUP' named on include/exclude line 1 does not exist." Can anybody help Christoph

Missing Message-text
Hy all, on our TSM-Server this message appears in the act-log everytime a tape could not be checked in into the library. We have just upgraded to Version 4.14 on an AIX 4.33-Server.

Hy all, I have a problem with the messages in errpt on AIX 4.3.3 Since we installed Maintenance-Level 6 on AIX 4.3.3 messages from the tape-drives in our tape-library (3490) look something strange. This does not only happens with new messages, also old (before the maintenance-install)message are not more interpreted. The messages look like this DE9A52D1 0806150301 I S rmt2 AAA1 D1A1AE6F 0806144101 I H rmt5 AAA0 Does anybody know how to fix ? Thanks Christoph
Slow archive
Hy all, I'm trying to archive some data from an HP-UX 10.0 box with ADSM 3.1 client to an AIX 4.3.3 Server with TSM 4.1.4. I'm using the graphic-interface (no web-interface available). The amount of date is about 6 Files and 2 GB. At the beginning the archiving works ok, but after some time it gets slower and slower up to that point where it needs minutes to get one empty direcory stored. Because it didn't seem to finish, I stopped it. Now when I call the retrieve in graphical interface and walk in the directory-tree of that archive, it takes always a long time to expand it. Has anybody seen this before and knows how to get it fixed Thanks Christoph
No Subject
Hy everyone, a question concerning the queriing of archives : is there a possibility in TSM 3.7 to query all client archives without refering to a FileSpace. A ' q arc -desc="xyz" "*" ' only shows the archived files from the current working directory. I want to show all files within an archive searching by description with dsmc. Thanks Christoph
restore to another workstation
Hi everyone, today a question on accessing data from another workstation : Is there an easy possibility to restore data from another workstation with same operating system (HP-UX) in a batch job ? I tried it with the restore option 'virtualnodename', but didn't manage to send the id and password instream. We are using the 3.7 clients. If you have any ideas, let me know Thanks a lot Christoph
3590 tape drives
Hy experts ! A question about tape-drives : we have in our tape-library (IBM 3494) Magstar 3590 Modell E drives (E1A). Because they were bought one year ago, they don' t have the facility to read/write the extended-length-cartridges, so we use the normal cartridges with 20 GB uncompressed. Now we plan to upgrade those drives (IBM-upgrade-Kit) so that they can handle the extended-length-cartridges (40GB uncompressed). My question now : are the drives with this feature able to handle (read/write) the old format cartridges (20 GB), or can they only read those 40 GB-cartridges. Thanks a lot Chr. Pilgram
NT-Incremental (daylight-saving-time)
Hy all, we use TSM since 05/2000 for backing-up NT-Servers. The last weekend was the change from summer to winter time on all our computers. The first incremental-Backup on all of our NT-Servers (and only on NT-Servers, not on Novell,Unix,VMS) after the time-switch backed up all files in the file-systems (full-backup). Is there an option that this does not happen every half of a year ? Thanks for your answers Chr. Pilgram Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma KG Germany
Archiving
Hy everyone, we are discussing the possibilities of archiving data with TSM or other products (from NT,UNIX). Our requirements are to archive data for about 30 years. TSM is in discussion because we use it already for backup ( and in some cases we use the archive-command ). The policy domains for the clients for archiving will be (from my point of view) totally different to those for backup. Can anybody share his good (or bad) experience in long term archiving with whatever kind of library in the background (DVD or tape). Thanks a lot Christoph
Faster Restores
Hy all, last week I had to restore a Netware-Client completely (TSM-Vers.: 3.7.2). Because I am not familiar with Netware (our Netware Administrator was ill), I decided to restore the data with the Web-Interface. After several breaks and retrys (the Web-Window stopped doing anything while the Restore had not finished or the Restore was said to have correctly finished in the activity-log of the TSM-Server (AIX 4.3 and TSM 3.7.4) while the Web-Interface was frozen and definitely not all data were back ...) I made a try with the command-line and it worked fine. Because I splitted the Restore for the different Volumes, each Restore went through all tapes of the client (collocated). That took a while, because the data are ordered on a daily base on the tapes. Now my question . Is there any option to reorganize the stored data of a client, that they are restored faster (except collocation on filespace that has to be switched on for a complete storage-pool ) ? Thanks for help Christoph
Incremental Restore
Hy all, within the next few days I have to restore some large disk-volumes to new disks on a Netware-Server. Because its in production, I can't stop the server for the whole restore time. The volumes are about 260GB in size. The backup-data are spanned over about 24 tapes (3590E), so restore takes a while. The data can not be mirrored. My idea is to restore the complete data to the new volumes while users work on the old ones. After finishing this restore, I want to do another incremental backup of the old volumes to get the meanwhile changed data. But : how do I get only these data to the new volumes without touching all the other older data on the tapes ??? TSM-Server : AIX 4.3 TSM 3.7.4 Netware-Version : 5.0 TSM-Client 3.7.2 Thanks for help Christoph
Restore-Netware
Hy all, I started a restore from our AIX 4.3, TSM 3.7.4 Server to a Netware %.1 Client (TSM 3.7.2). We restored a complete Volume to a new clean Volume ( ' restore daten:* newdata:/ -subdir=all ' ). I started the restore yesterday evening to run over night. Today in the morning the netware-server stood with a message where I should say if an existing file should be overwritten ( the exact message text was answered by my college before I could see it, so I couldn't check the file/directory ). Why does TSM ask for overwriting on a complete new and empty volume ? For any explanations I thank you Christoph
Restore NT-Registry
Hy all, last weekend we had to restore a NT-Terminal-Server completely. Restoring the Registry from any tested client ended with a message similar to "Unable to restore one or more registry keys". You could click on a button and the message has gone. My question : Is this a normal message or does it say that the registry is now faulty ? And where can I see which keys the restore was unable to update.

Postschedulecmd
Hy all, I have a question concerning the postschedcmd-option : on new installed HP-UX 11.0 Clients we allways got an error like this when calling any dsmc-command : "aCC runtime: ERROR: _main() not called. " Client-Version of TSM was : 3.7.2 on HP-UX 11.0 (64-bit) Server-Version of TSM : 3.7.4 on AIX 4.3 we installed now Client-Version 4.1.2 on these clients and the error has gone, but the postschedulecmd defined as option in the client schedule (on the server, not in dsm.sys) brings an error when the scheduled-time is reached : ANS1107E Invalid option/value: '-postschedulecmd="lp -oc -dU464 /tmp/backup_tsm.log"' ANS1512E Scheduled event 'BC0MDB01_DB_OFFL' failed. Return code = 4. The same option works fine with 3.7.2 Is there a change in syntax or is the option no longer available at that place ? Thanks for help Christoph
delete data from copy-pool
Hi all, a question to copy-pools : today I have one copy-pool where the copies of all stg-pools go in. For performance issues I would like to split this pool (different device-classes ...). I can now define a second copy-pool, and start copying one of my stg-pools to this copy-pool. But how can I delete the data from the first (old) copy-pool (without renaming client, deleting filespaces ...)? Thanks for any help Christoph
server-to-server copy-pools
Hi all, today we have two servers connected via server-to-server. Both server have defined their copy-pool on the other server. I would like to split the copy-pool into two different ones.

Does anybody know, if this is possible and how I can set up two different copypools on a server, that are accessed via server-to-server connection from one other server. Thanks for any help Christoph

AW: server-to-server copy-pools
Thanks, an additional question before setting up the configuration : second copy-pool with same device-class means that the data physically go to the same tape-pool on the other server, because it works with the default management-class for that server ( where the pool name is defined). Is this correct ? So the only additional config to make (beneath defining the second copy-pool) is increasing the 'mount limit' in device-class 'server' on the one side where copy-pool is defined to the number of copy-pools I define ?

Hi , in a first aproach, I changed the following settings : data-source-server : copy-pool device-class (server device class) : mount-limit set to '2' client-settings for client-node (node-type 0 server) : mount-limit set to '2' data-target-server : device class for primary pool where data goes in : mount-limit set to 'drives' (==> max = 8) Then I tried to do to stg_pool-backups in parallel ( they should go to the same copy_pool) and I got the following error : 06/12/02 07:49:13 ANR8340I SERVER volume BC0ADSM1.BFS.023860953 mounted. 06/12/02 07:49:13 ANR1340I Scratch volume BC0ADSM1.BFS.023860953 is now defined in storage pool COPY_POOL. 06/12/02 07:49:29 ANR4383E Session failure, target server BC0ADSM1 has aborted current transaction; reason: Item not available. 06/12/02 07:49:29 ANR1411W Access mode for volume BC0ADSM1.BFS.023860953 now set to "read-only" due to write error. 06/12/02 07:49:29 ANR1181E astxn.c370: Data storage transaction 0:18059241 was aborted. 06/12/02 07:49:29 ANR2183W dfbackup.c1485: Transaction 0:18059241 was aborted. 06/12/02 07:49:29 ANR1280E BACKUP STGPOOL: Process 421 terminated - transaction aborted. 06/12/02 07:49:29 ANR0985I Process 421 for BACKUP STORAGE POOL running in the BACKGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at 07:49:29. 06/12/02 07:49:29 ANR1214I Backup of primary storage pool BACKUP_VMS_DISK to copy storage pool COPY_POOL has ended.

For me it looks as if both backups want to write to the same tape ( because collocation on copy_pool is 'off' ? ), and because both requests come from the same "client"-node the second request is refused. On target server there are no messages. Is there something mis-defined or what's wrong ?

Performance
Hi all, a question about increasing the performance of my TSM-Server: TSM-Server : IBM H80 ( 2-way RS64III-450MHz-processor, 2GB memory ), AIX 4.3.3 , TSM 4.1.4 I see with the monitor-tool that my server has over a longer period a cpu-utilization of more than 80%. This server only handles TSM, no other task. But there is a lot of data-transfer from backup-pools to copy-pools and from disk-pool to tape-pool (150 GB disk-pool, data-transfer to copy-pool about 800 GB per day). I have some money left for increasing the performance : Does TSM support and use a second processor ? Thanks for help Chris

Hi Guillaume, there is a utility from Tivoli called TDPOSYNC (I think only in Version 2 of TDP for Oracle). With this tool you can easily delete old backups.

AW: Tape questions
Hy Rob, I don't know how you deleted the tape from database. If with "discard data = yes" the data includung the copies are deleted from database. Than you don't have the data on copy-storage-pool. If a volume is damaged and a move data doesn't get all data from that tape make a 'restore volume xxx' (there is a preview-option) to rebuild the data from the copy-storagepool to the primary-storage-pool. After this procedure all data should be available from primary-storage-pool (the damaged volume is set to 'unavailable' and can be taken out of the library).

WIN2K-Complete-Restore
Hi all, I remember a document (Red-Book) where was written how to restore the Operating-System and all data to a WIN-NT-Server (By starting with an extra partition with TSM-Client and restoring the other partition ...). I can not find this document anymore on any Web-page from IBM. Does anybody have a link ? But my real problem is to recover a W2K-Server. My collegues are testing recovery on W2K-Servers and up to now thei didn't manage to get one running as before (problems that are reported by them are e.g. with the InternetExplorer 6). Does anybody have a tested plan on how to recover a W2K-Server with TSM (not realy bar-metal but e.g. with an extra partition ...) or is there anywhere a document on how to do it ? Thanks for help Christoph.
AW: UNLOADDB Appears Stuck and Will not Continue

W2K Missing Files
Hi all, I have a strange Problem with our W2K-Servers : TSM-Client 4.2.0.0 When starting an interactive Backup-Session I select some Files out of the explorer-like window for backup (e.g. KERNEL32.DLL from winnt\system32 ). I start the backup session and it completes without error, but all object counter say "0" . The file was not backed up. But then when I go back to the backup-window this selected files and a lot more are not displayed anymore in the file-selection in the directory \winnt\system32. And I don't find any restorable version of these files, so thei never were backed up. Does anybody have seen this behaviour on his system ? Any explanation ? Thanks Chris ( Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma KG )
Disk-Pool-Volume delete not possible
Hi all, on one of my TSM-Servers ( TSM-Vers : 4.1.4 / AIX 4.3.3 ) I have a problem with one volume of my disk-pool : I wanted to reorganize my pool-volumes, so I deleted all existing disk-volumes of that storage-pool. All but one volumes could be deleted. For this volume the Message came :ANR2406E DELETE VOLUME: Volume /TSM1/stgc/stg6.dsm still contains data. I made a "q content" but no data were shown. I tried do delete with "discarddata=yes" the reply was the same :ANR2406E DELETE VOLUME: Volume /TSM1/stgc/stg6.dsm still contains data. Then I changed the status to offline. I changed my volume-groups on AIX (by this all files from that disk-stgpool were deleted). Now I did build all new volumes. But how can I get rid of this one offline disk-volume ( I generated a new one with same size but other name and renamed it to the old name : setting it online caused an error message : ANR1315E Vary-on failed for disk volume /TSM1/stgc/stg6.- dsm - invalid label block. Thanks for any help Chris
AW: How many tapes reclaimed by space reclamation?
Hi Rob, I have seen that some people have sent scripts to you. So you don't need my ones. But there is one point I would like to tell you : if your client sends compressed data and the file-information shows the original size there can be a lot of data on a tape if the reclaimable space is 90 %. I saw this often with my Novell-Pool. Then the reclamation runs for these 10 % a long time ( in these cases I look at the PCT UTILIZED too (the sum of PCT UTILIZED and PCT RECLAIMABLE in these cases is always a lot more than 100 % (e.g.130%)).

Filenames with generic characters
Hi all, sometimes it happens, that while backing up a client to my server ( Vers 4.1.4 / AIX 4.3.3 ) the error message "ANS1228E Sending of object '/u02/home/iv/test/*' failed" is written in the client-error-log. The problem seems to be that he wants to update the information for this file on the servers tsm-database but can't handle the generic filename '*'. A filename like this normaly makes no sense (but it happens). The server is able to back it up. But the server cant delete or update a file with this name in his database. My question : Is there a way to delete these files from the tsm-database. Up to now i renamed the filespace and after a while I deleted this filespace. But this is not very handy for restoring. Thanks for any help Chris

dsmcad
Hi all, on Unix-Systems a running dsmcad-process is necessary to work with the web-client. On one of my systems (Solaris 5.7; TSM 3.7.2) I work with two TSM-client-nodenames. In the dsm.sys file i have two sections with different servername-entries and different nodename-entries. How can I manage to see via web-client both of my clientnodes ? I tried starting dsmcad with httpport-option (dsmcad httpport=1582), but it didn't work. I tried having two HTTPport entries, one in each section of the dsm.sys file, but it didn't work. Any help ?

UNLOADDB-LOADDB
Hi all, I am trying to test an unload/load of my production-database to get information on how long it takes and how big the reorganization-effort is. I stopped the production database, copied the db-files, copied the log-file, and transfered it to my testserver. On testserver (physically on the same unix-server) I edited the dsmserv.dsk to match the names of the files. Then I tried an 'dsmserv unloaddb devclass=file'. It came back with errors regarding the filenames of the production-server. Is the scenario I tried not possible and how can I do an test on unload/loadddb without stopping the productive-server for a day ? Thanks for any help Chris The errors : ANR0900I Processing options file /usr/tivoli/tsm/testserver/bin/dsmserv.opt. ANR0990I Server restart-recovery in progress.

AW: UNLOADDB/LOADDB Scenario
Hi Andy, my idea is similar to yours : halt the server copy my databases and logs (for fallback) unloaddb to devclass=file loadformat loaddb I don't think you have to make an auditdb if your unloaddb works with the consistant-option (default) (Administrators Reference 'dsmserv unloaddb'). Where does the loaddb-process get the information about the database-volumes to load from ? Does it use the dsmserv.dsk ? (Because the unloaddb-process seems to get the information about names and directories of the db- and log-files directly out of one of the db-files). But I wanted to test it before running the processes on production to get an idea about the runtime of the processes. Our database is about 24 GB and with an unload-performance of about 2 GB (I tested with a smaller database) it would take about 12 H and then I haven't yet reloaded the database. And I heard about some problems with loaddb with some TSM-Versions, so I have to have a quick fallback-strategy.

unloaddb
Hi all, I'm just testing unloaddb (TSM 4.14 / AIX 4.3.3) : about 2 hours the unloaddb is now running. It always writes out the following message with increasing the number of entries : ANR4013I UNLOADDB: Dumped 125629758 database entries (cumulative) But now it doesn't write this message anymore, but the dump-file is growing. Is this a bug and how do I get information about the number of database entries when unloaddb has finished ? Thanks Chris
AW: Utilizing All My drives
Hi Bassam, you can define as many processes as you like, but the limitation is the number of free drives. If you define more procs then you have drives, the migration processes wait until there is a drive available (this also happens if some of your drives are used by other processes). For using more than 2 drives you have to set the parameter "mount limit" in your device-definition to a apropriate value (normally you set this value to 'drives'). You normally set the value maxprocs to a value less then the number of drives, so that other operations can work on tapes too.

Hi, as Demetrius said, its the migpr-Parameter that you can set with your migration. The mountlimit is a parameter in the devclasses-table. You can after setting mountlimit to "drives" just initiate migration by saying "upd stg hi=0 lo=0 migpr=4" and if there are date from more than 4 clients that should store their data on different tapes (collocation=yes) in that pool, 4 processes should start.

compression
Hi all, I have a client (SUN OS 5.7) with TSM Vers. 3.7.2 I run some dsmc selective commands in a script on the client and allways the last one tells me in the summary ANE4968I (Session: 15905, Node: BC0CDBSM) Objects compressed by: 100% while all other commands write ANE4968I (Session: 15905, Node: BC0CDBSM) Objects compressed by: 0% On the client is no compression , on the server is no comression in any option-setting and the transfered volume seems to be non-compressed.. Another client (SUN OS 5.8) with TSM Vers. 4.2.1.21 where I start only one dsmc incr within a script ends with the same message ANE4968I (Session: 13538, Node: BC0LFSM) Objects compressed by: 100%. On this client is no compression , on the server is no comression in any option-setting and the transfered volume seems to be non-compressed. Where does the difference come from, and how can you compress a file by 100% ? Kind regards Chris
Novell-Client
Hi all, since 2 days we have Problems on one of our Novell-Server with Backup. When Backup is scheduled from Server, the client (Netware 5.2 SP2, TSM 4.2.1.27) breaks and reboots. No backup is done. The last messages in dsmsched.log is the list of the filesystems the backup has to handle. Although we have some more Novell-Server with same Versions we have the Problems only on this one. The difference is, that on this server the following modules are loaded : ACPSAAS1.NLM Vers 4.02a from 21-Dec-2001 ACPSAAS2.NLM Vers 4.02a from 21-Dec-2001 while on all other Novell-Clients these Modules are loaded in Vers 4.01b from 30-May-2001. It seems to be that the Server with problems is the only one really rebooted since installation of the TSM-Client-Version 4.2.1.27. Does anyone have similar Problems and/or knows about a solution ? Thanks Chris

Performance on w2k
Hi all, I have a a question concerning performance on a W2K-Client. On our W2K-fileserver (2 processors, 80 files, w2k-compression on) we get a very poor performance with our backup (Vers. 4.2.0.0). With the performance monitor there seems not to be an problem with memory or CPU The bad time results from the scanning of the filesystem. In dsmsched.log you can see, that the system scans about 1000 to 1500 files per minute, what is compared to other systems very poor. I am not an expert in w2k so my question : is this normal for a w2k-system with that many files. Because there are sometimes a lot of rights belonging to one file, maybe there is a lot to compare with the filelist from the TSM-server ?? I saw in the XP-Client-Version an Problem fixed with IC31706, that reports of a performance problem in XP (what is the same TSM-Client), but this fix is not available for w2k. Has anybody an idea where the problem comes from and how it can be fixed ? Thanks a lot Chris

Migration
Hi all, today I have a question dealing with migration : I have one disk-storage-pool that is filled up during the night by several clients. When it reaches the High-Mig-Pct, the Migration starts with up to three jobs going to tape. Backups havent finished at that time and suddenly the backup-jobs wants a tape to be mounted, and this is just that tape, that is mounted by the migration-job (because of collocation on client). So the backup-job has to wait and wait. But the question is, why the backup of the client, that has as primary-pool only a disk-pool whis no "maximum size threshhold" transfers data direct to tape (while disk pool is migrating) and whow to stop this behaviour.

remove a tape from library
Hi all, today I have a problem with one of my tapes in the tape-library (3494). A tape didn't come out of the drive, the technican came in, and he managed to bring out the tape.

It is a very big node ( 350 GB Filespace, 6 000 000 files, all files under one mountpoint) and we always make full incremental. I plan to use journal-based-backup to get it done in time. Does anybody has experience with this kind of backup or any other good idea and can share the pro's and con's with me. And what does it mean in the User Guide ( we do not make selective backups) : The file space image at the server cannot have been modified by an administrative command since the last full incremental. The storage management policy for the files being backed up cannot have been updated since the last full incremental. Thanks for any help Chr. Pilgram Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co.KG

Hi all, TSM-Server : V.4.1.4 on AIX 4.3.3 TSM-Client : V 4.2.1.27 on Netware 5.00.09 Supp-Pack 02 During restoring of data on a novell server we got the following error for about 4000 different objects ( of 1.100.000 restored objects) : 10/22/2002 16:40:27 ANS1905E NetWare SMS error processing 'DATEN:/PROJEKTE/H92 ZWG RMT/Protokolle/Bauprotkolle/Besp.26.08.doc': (TSA500.NLM 5.4 315) The program's attempt to scan failed, probably because an invalid path was specified.

TSM-Server V 4
Hi all due to the changes in the download-procedures from the TSM-WEB-Server I have problems with login on that side. Because my call at IBM has not yet solved the problems I ask here : What is the newest maintenance-level on TSM Server Version 4 for AIX ? I see a level of 4.2.2.13 but I have heard there is 4.2.3 or 4.3 available. Thanks Chris
Upgrade Server 4.1.4 -> 4.2.3
Hi all I have to upgrade my TSM-Servers (AIX 4.3.3) from V 4.1.4 to 4.2.3. In the readme for 4.2.3 is written under "TSM Server Upgrade issues for version 4.2.0.0" that if you upgrade from 4.1.x.x you have to uninstall the current version. For me its not clear if this chapter belongs to all operating systems. So do I have to uninstall all modules of V 4.1.4 from my AIX server before installing ? Do I have to start the TSM-Server-Software before installing V4.2.3 on top of 4.2.1, or can I just install 4.2.1 and 4.2.3 immediately afterwards (with no start of dsmserv) ? When will the database be upgraded ? If anybody has experience on this, let me know Thanks Chris

selective with wildcards
Hi all, I have a problem on our W2K-Servers : to have a faster restore on user profiles we used to backup the profiles-directory of the users more often then the rest of the machines. That was when we had novell-servers. The selective statement was easy. Now with w2k we have the problem that the profile-directory is under the users-directory. e.g. : "\\bibfs01\d$\data1\user\\Profile4.0-Desktop" in the user-directory there are a lot of directories named like the users are called. In the -directory are beneath the profile,all the users data (and that are a lot) stored. Those data we do not want to backup. How can I only backup the /Profile without backing up all the data under the directory. e.g : selective "\\bibfs01\d$\data1\user\...\Profile*" ??? (that one does not work) Thanks for help Chris

Versions-Compatibility
Hi all, as I have to migrate to Server Version 5.x.x (from 4.2.3 on AIX 4.3.3) I have to check wether our used client-version can remain the same as before or have to be migrated to version 5.x-clients. Is there anywhere a list of which client-version does work with which server-version (we are somekind of old-fashioned in version-handling). We use Clients with NT4 / W2K / Netware5 / HP-UX / Solaris / TDP-Oracle / TDP-Exchange ( V1.1 auf Exchange 5.5) / VMS (ABC-Client V.3.1) Thanks a lot Chris
dsmc selective
Hi all, a second try : what is the syntax for selectively backing up the following (using wildcards) from a W2K-Client : d:\usr\data1\user1\profile1\... d:\usr\data1\user1\profile2\... d:\usr\data1\user2\profile1\... d:\usr\data1\user2\profile3\... d:\usr\data1\user3\profile1\... d:\usr\data1\user3\profile2\... d:\usr\data1\user3\profile3\... d:\usr\data1\user4\profile1\... d:\usr\data1\user4\profile5\... d:\usr\data1\user5\profile7\... ... and about 200 more user-directories. I would like something like " dsmc selective d:\usr\data1\...\profile* " under the user-directory there are a lot of different directories, but I only want to selectively backup the profile-directories. Under data1 all directories are user directories. Thanks for any help Chris
summary-table
Hi all, since installing the 4.2.3.2 level (after 4.1.4) on my AIX-server (AIX 4.3.3) I have the problem that in the summary-table the field "BYTES" for a backup-session of NT and W2K-clients is filled with "0" even though the client has transfered GigaBytes of data. Restore-sessions of the same client show a correct number of bytes in that field. Unix-Clients show (what I have seen) correct entries in that field. Thanks for help Chris
TDP for Exchange Configuration problems
Hi all, We use TDP for Exchange in Version 5.1.5.0 (Exchange V 5.5 on w2k) We have an TSM-Server running V. 5.2.4.3 Policy for Exchange is : Version Data Exists : 2 Version Data Deleted : 0 Retain Extra Versions : 20 Retain Only Version : 20 We run every day an incremental backup of IS and DIR and once a week a full backup of IS and DIR. We want to have a minimum of 2 Full Backups and all Incrementel Backups between. What I see is, that with this policy we get 2 generations of full backups, but only the incremental backups from the last full until now. What do I have to change Please help Thanks Chris

Hi Axel, Tell us on which operating system you are working with which version. I know on some operating systems you had to handle the libobk.so in a special way (make a softlink, or copy ...).

I would check environment variables. If you also have the standard B/A client in place, do 'dsmc q opt' and 'dsmc q inclexcl' to assure that it can access those files as a basis: the TDP may use those, or its own files, as per environment variables.

Servers scheduler dies
Hi all, I'm running TSM 5.2.4.3 on an AIX 5.1 server. In the last 2 weeks it happened twice, that the servers scheduler seems stop working. In the night after having correctly completed some client backups (scheduled from the servers scheduler) all following client backup schedules went to "missed". I could not find any error-message in the actlog. Only a restart of the TSM-server could get the scheduler to run client schedules again. Does anybody have similar problems or knows how to fix it (or where the problem is) Thanks Chris

Drive-Serial-Number
Hi all, Is there a possibility to get the drive_serial number (tapedrive) with an sql-command from TSM-db 5.2.4.3 . I see the serial_number with "q drives f=d" but the column drive_serial in table drives is empty. Thanks Chris
Restore very slow
Hi, Since this morning (5 hours) I am running a PIT-restore for a user-profile on a w2k-client (TSM V 5.2.2.0). TSM-Server is a IBM p450 with AIX 5.2 ML6 and TSM-server-version 5.2.4.3. There are about 11 Mio files stored on the backup-server from this node. Since begin of rhe restore no access on any tape has been performed, no directory is created on client. The server works hard on the database (nmon). Nothing changes in bytes-sent (3.0 M) / bytes recvd (1.5 K) for the session. The client started backups about 4 weeks ago so there are not too many incrementals since then. The data are spread over 2 tapes (IBM-3592). I now stopped the restore and started a new one to restore only one empty directory. The behaviour is the same, haevy working on db-volumes but nothing comes back. Has anybody seen something like that and knows how to get the data back ? Thanks for help Chris
again : Slow restore
Hi all, We use TSM-Server V 5.2.4.3 on AIX 5.2 ML6. Problem with w2k-clients TSM 5.3.0.5 / 5.3.0.14. A restore of even a small directory with 1 file and 4 empty subdirectories takes about 2h 10 min if I use the Web-Cli and select the complete Directory. If I select the complete directory and exclude then 1 empty subdirectory it finished in 1.5 min. If I try to restore the remaining empty directory it again workes a very long time (I cancelled the job after 40 min). If I select the directory, the 1 file inside and the remaining directory restore completes after some minutes. What has that to do with "no query restore" and what does the server sort (for hours) in memory (if I understand correctly) if I only select 1 empty directory ??? Can anybody give me an answer Thanks Christoph
AW: ANR0102E imarins.c(2246)
Hi, I had the same problem after reorganize my DB. Seems to be IC47516 fixed with 5.2.7 . So I had do do an auditdb (with TSM-Support). Look at your loaddb log : are there any "bad database records" reported ?

AW: (Too) long no query restore?
Hi I had the same problem, and as Wanda wrote I tried it with the TESTFLAG DISABLEQR and it finished in about 5 minutes. Another test was : do the complete restore with the exception of one file in one of the subdirectories : did run in 5 minutes. Best wishes Christoph -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Prather, Wanda Gesendet: Mittwoch, 22. Februar 2006 17:06 An: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Betreff: Re: (Too) long no query restore? If you have the luxury of re-creating the problem, try again and put TESTFLAG DISABLENQR in the dsm.opt file (search on DISABLENQR in the archives to see what people have said about this before). That turns off NQR and uses CLASSIC restore. It is known that sometimes CLASSIC will outperform NQR. If you get no difference in performance between the two, then you have something in your hardware config that needs tuning.

So TSM seems to spend most of the time scanning through the database. And I think more than 4.5 hours to scan 9.5 million files is way to long. Thomas
W2k-Client crash
Hi all, Since some days (since using tsm-client 5.3.2.2) we have problems on one of our w2k-clients. Sometimes the client crashes during backup of 'System and Boot Files', just close to the end of backup. The w2k-system stands without having the possibility to enter the console and has to be rebooted. Server runs on AIX 5.2 with TSM 5.2.4.3 Has anybody seen this or knows how to solve the problem. Thanks Chris
