Subject: NT Permissions and Restore


I am trying to figure out if there is any way to allow a non-administrator
account to restore files from ADSM to an NT server.  I am the network
administrator and have previously handled this.  Our Operations group is
going to take this over, and I have added them to the Backup Operators group
in NT.  However, from the literature and from a test, it appears that this
is insufficient to restore from ADSM, although it works with a local NT
backup.  For security and confidentiality reasons, I am not looking to make
them Administrators of all these machines.  Is there a workaround, or is it
absolutely required to either be an admin or have specific priveleges to
restore a file in NT?

The new drives are available according to "lsdev -C".  The new drives have
been defined to ADSM via "define drive"  and set to "online=yes".  We've
upped the mountpoints parameter of the 3590 devclass to 4.  But when we try

fail after the first two mounts.

Somewhere I've missed configuration to allow 4 drives to be used

Subject: Really Dumb Mistake


We are using the ADSM connect agent with one of our exchange servers at a
remote location.  The level of the connect agent does not have the
"autodelete" function to automatically remove older exchange objects.  So
what we need to do periodically is go into the exchange box and remove the
last months backup objects manually.  We've been doing this for 3 months but
I was getting concerned when none of the tapes were being freed up by
expiration and then reclaimed.  It never concerned me too much because I
knew the library had lots of space.  Well after checking the management
class for the exchange server I noticed that I had not set up some of the
parameters correctly.  Specifically "deleted objects" was set to 2 instead
of the required 0.  Of course this has the effect of keeping all objects
because of the way exchange backups work.

So now my dilemma is how do I get rid of what I don't want since its already
been removed in the connect agent on the exchange box.  Delete volume looks
like my only option but it makes me a bit nervous because I'm not sure if it
will cause any data continuity problems.  Anybody have any advise for a
dummy.

You can't overwrite an active registry.  Two options:

1.  Step 1 should be to install NT and TSM to non-standard directories.
That way you can restore the registry.

2.  Restore the c:\adsm.sys directory tree, then boot with an NTFS aware
diskette, and copy the directory files back to c:\winnt\system32\config.

I'd advise reading the redbook on NT Bare Metal Restores (I can't find the
number, but you can search for it on the www.redbooks.ibm.com website), as
there's more to restoring an entire NT system than meets the eye.

Hello,

The server is an RS/6000 at ADSM 3.10.
   The problem is that it until now only some MBs have been restored and
the client
will need many GBs before it is done   ... Looks like this could take
days.

   The activity log and 'q session' shows that the restore session is doing
numerous

data is
   transferred from the server to the client. Looks like the data for this
client might be spread
   over hundreds of tapes. The storage pool for this client is not
collocated.

   Is there a way to speed up the restore?
   Would it make sense to do an "export node"  to tapes followed by an
"import node"  in order to force
   the data to fewer tapes or would I then just be spending time in the
"export" instead?
   Is there something else I can do?

It sounds like it would be a two step process: 1) output the Backup Set to a
file then 2) burn the file to a CD.

It may require defining a storage pool (DEF STG pool_name DISK ...), then
creating one volume in that pool (DEF VOL pool_name volume_name ...), and
creating the backup set to that volume (DEF BACKUPSET node_name
bckup_set_name DEV=device_class_name VOL=volume_name).  You may also need to
define a new device class (DEF DEV device_class_name DEVT=FILE MAXCAP=???M

How does the Device Class fit into this?

(the software that IBM uses to quote you an upgrade) does not support
removing the 9's.  Well, the last resort is to add more 9's (not what we

Do look at the price comparison of a 3466 as a 'total solution' option.

What I mean is , don't dismiss it as just another AIX box.
It includes a license for 5000 clients (or at least it used to!)
And may even be cheaper as a whole than buying all the parts yourself.

The down side is that it will reach a point where IBM will say:

"Go ahead and run it into the ground but we won't upgrade it anymore."

and that point is usually (?) around 3 or so years ...

are installed. I'm talking data files several directories down. We haven't
noticed any problems with the restores but how can this happen?

Anyone? Not worried, just perplexed as I stare at RCONSOLE. :- 0

Re: Base TMS client and SQL backup question

2000-08-15 Thread Phil Bone

We are using the ADSM SQL Connect Agent (or TSM SQL Data Protection Agents)
to do our backups.  Our DBA's are scheduling and running the backups with
SQL jobs that they have setup through the SQL Enterprise Manager.  Then they
can have the status of the backup jobs emailed to them through SQL Mail.

As far as issuing "net" commands in pre/post, I would assume that at a
minimum you would have to configure the ADSM/TSM "Central Scheduler Agent"
and/or the "Client Acceptor" to run as an NT account with the required
privilege to stop/start services.  Just a guess...

Subject: Base TMS client and SQL backup question


Hi Folks,

Is anyone using the pre/post exits of the base client to stop/start
the MSSQL server with the "net stop/start mssqlserver" commands?  I have a
client who  is trying this and the schedule log stops recording when the pre
command file is triggered.  The client has also failed to back up since this
method was implemented.

If you are not using the net commands, how are you using the
pre/post (or other methods) commands to stop the SQL server so the databases
can be backed up?  Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: label libv - problem

2000-08-15 Thread Phil Bone

>From personal experience, I can tell you that you don't need to specify
LABELSOURCE for a 3494, (regardless of what the documentations says).

label libvol 3494a search=yes checkin=scratch overwrite=yes

Hope that helps.

Hi *SMers,
trying to fill a newly installed 3494 under TSM 3.7.3.0 I ran into the
following problem:

ANR8494E LABEL LIBVOLUME: An option specified is not valid for 349X
libraries.
ANS8001I Return code 3.


Checking with "help label libv" I can't find what I've done wrong with the
above used "label libv" command.

Any help would be very welcome.

RAID5 or JBOD: Which Performs Batter in the *SM Environment?

2000-08-28 Thread Phil Bone

We are looking to upgrade our SSA storage on our H50.  Our current
configuration is 16 x 9GB drives.  One the upgrade path is to 16 x 18GB
RAID5.  How will this help or hurt our *SM performance?  Any suggestions on
setting up the filesystems, i.e., a few large ones or several small ones?

Thanks,

Phil
