discussion: schedmode: polling or prompted
Hi TSMites I am n't clear on the stuff i read from Admin and reference guides on "schedmode" There is no clear explantion on polling and randomization. There is no doubts on Prompted mode. But if the schedmode is set to polling on clients , How the server is alloting slots for the clients? Is there any command to get to know those time slots? ( We can get to know the next slot by reading dsmsched.log on client site, its a tedious job checking on 100 odd clients ). What happens if the client missed the first solt? ( i believe server will assign one more slot using randamization and it continues till the end of startup window.??? Am i correct or is there any fixed number for it??) For example, there is a 50 client environment on 10/100 Mbps all connected to 12 port Switch, each client has daily incremental data of 500MB, and the workstation on times are from 8:30AM to 5:30PM 1.Whats the Ideal duration parameter for the above env? ( if i keep dur=8 duru=hours , backup of some clients may start at 5:15PM and there won't be much time to finish the backup successfully.All desktops will be switched of at 5:45 PM ). 2.How to calculate maxschedsession for the above? ( if i give maxschedsesions 40 number (not percentage) for 50 clients there will be a network bottle neck) 3.How to calculate randamization for the above scenario? 4.Under what circumstances the client may miss the schedule? ( maxschedsession is set to 30 number for 50 clients, all clients are powered on and client schedulars are active, queryschedperiod is set to 3 hours ) 5.Whats meant by q event status "?" 6.Does resourceutlization parameter works for schedule sessions? ( i only see one schedule session per client eventhough resourceutilization is set to default value 2 ). 7.Whats the timeout value for schedule session? Elaborate on how polling mode actually works Regards Raghu S Nivas Consultant - TSM DCM Data Systems Ltd New Delhi India. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] EDU> 10/01/2002 07:39 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" I am unable to add a new tape to the library, and I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can someone give me some tips? We've got an IBM 3575 L18 tape library, runing adsm server 3.1 on an AIX 4.3.3 machine. Tape library has 2 drives in it (/dev/rmt0, /dev/rmt1). We have one library named ITG-3575. We've got several failed tapes in the libray and I must replace them with new good ones. The new ones are coming right out of a Magstar MP tape box which is brand spanking new. Here's the commands I entered, and yes, ive moved all data off the tape first. # move all data off the tape, the remove it. adsm> checkout libvolume ITG-3575 xx checklabel=no adsm> reply 001 # define new tape volume adsm> define volume ITG-3575TAPE 311E98 ACCESS=READWrite # put in the new tape volume adsm> checkin libvolume ITG-3575 311E98 status=private adsm> reply # the first two stages seem to work, but when i try the third stage i get the following error: ANR8335I 015: Verifying label of 3570 volume 3121CF in drive TAPEDRIVE1 (/dev/rmt1).

PAIN IN THE ARS!!! so, the messages manual says to make sure the tape is inserted correctly, which it is, then make sure the volume has been labeled using the dsmlabel command, which is wierd cause i though you only use that command on the drives not on tapes???, and then it say to check if the DEVICE parameter is correct on the DEFINE DRIVE command, which im pretty sure it is. our library has been working for years, but ive just never needed to replace tapes until now. so im pretty certain the drives work fine, i mean we backup and restore data just fine, all the time. drives must be okay. so i must be making some error in my commands to insert the new tape. any ideas? thanks in advance, alex ------ Alex Lazarevich | Systems | Imaging Technology Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (217)244-1565 | www.itg.uiuc.edu ------

Re: basic solaris questions
Hi justin AIX has better volume management than solaris.You can play with disks in AIX 'coz of LVM.If you are only working with Solaris ( without Disk Suit or Veritas ) , then you are gonna a football player playing test cricket match. A.don't bother about the tags you see in the format Utility.Its only the slice number that counts when you are creating filesystem.You can change the tag names as u wish by selecting that slice number in partion table of format utility. B.You can have the different filesystem names C.If you are using Veritas you can increase the filesystem size dynamically.If not your hands are tied.Filesystems can't span multiple hard disks.You have to take the back up of old filesystems, partition the disk again with the sizes you want and restore back the old file systems Regards Raghu S Nivas Consultant - TSM DCM Data Systems Ltd New Delhi India. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] Justin Bleistein cc: Sent by: "ADSM: DistSubject: basic solaris questions Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] U> 10/06/2002 05:28 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" I'm sory guys!!!. I know this is an AIX forum and I'm an AIX guru myself but I have a few really basic and perhaps inept Solaris questions for any Solaris admins out there: 1.) I'm reading this Solaris beginners admin guide, here are I'm reading about partitioning a new disk with this format utility. Do you need to configure a root partition tag even on additional disk? I can see on the primary disk that tag(root) is configured as the actual "/" filesystem. They also have an example on an additional external disk where they have root on it as well. This confused me. Now I know in AIX you can have the root logical volume/partition span multiple hdisks/disks. That's why I saw root on multiple disks at first but it turned out that these two disks had nothing to do with one another neither do the partitions. Any input onto why all disks on this system has a "root" partition tag would be appreciated. Also question b on the same subject would be, does the partition tag have anything to do with the actual filesystem name? Or can I have an oracle filesystem/mount point called: "/oradata" on a "/usr" partition tag?. question c is when you repartiton disks like add space or change the starting and ending point of a partition on these systems. Do you need to reboot the system after you save and label the table or is it automatic. Also it says any partition modification will wreck the filesystem/data which resides on it. It says you should back it up first. Does any partition modification include expanding it?. I know in AIX you can expand on the fly via: "chfs" without a reboot. question d How do you handle modifying system partitions such as the partitions which: "/", "/tmp", "/opt", and "/var" reside on?. I'm assuming they can't be modified except for either a new installation of the O/S, or through a single user mode boot and a "/newroot" mounting method?. Please advise. I hope it's not too confusing. Again I'm a beginner so go easy on me. I live and die by AIX but coming over to the DARK SIDE a bit. thanks!. --Justin

RAID5 in TSM
Hi, There was a lot of discussion on this topic before.But i am requesting TSM gurus give their comments again. The set up is like this. TSM Server : Windows NT 4.0 SP6, TSM 5.1.0.0 392 MB memory, P III Adaptech Ultra SCSI Hard Disk : Internal Hardware RAID 5: array A : 8.678GB * 3 : 17.356GB data and 8.678 GB parity array B : 35.003 GB * 3 : 70.006GB data and 35.003 GB parity. Both array A and array B are connected to the same channel. OS and TSM 5.1 are installed on array A TSM data base, recovery log and Disk storage pool are installed in array B. Database : 2GB+2GB = 4 GB and mirrored at TSM level on the same array Recovery Log : 500MB + 500 MB = 1 GB and mirrored at TSM level on the same array Disk Storage pool : 10GB+10GB+10GB+10GB+5GB=45GB on array B TSM client: 4.1.2.12 ( Tivoli says 4.1.2.12 is not supported with 5.1 Server. But i could take the backup,archive and restore with this combination ) Number of Clients : 55, all are windows Incremental backup : 1GB/ client/day. backup window : 9AM to 6PM with 50% randamization ( all are in polling mode ) LAN : 100Mbps End of the day only 10 clients could finish the backup.Remaining all are missing or "?" ( in progress ) or failed. Through the entire backup window the CPU load is 100% with dsmsvc.exe holding 98% I tested with various options. I stopped the schedular and fired 3 clients backup manually at the same time.Each client has 1 GB of incremental data. It took three hours to finish the backup. While backing up i observed there was lot of idletime outs of sessions. Network choke is not there. I checked this with FTP. Whats the bottleneck here? Is RAID 5 is creating problems ( DB,log and storage pool all are on the RAID 5 )? I asked the customer to arrange a testing machine without any RAID. I will be getting that in two days.Before going on to the testing i like to know your comments on this.

Re: RAID5 in TSM

Suad Musovich cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Subject: Re: RAID5 in TSM Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU> 10/23/2002 12:49 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" Realistically, if Array B dies, you lose the Database "and" recovery log. The mirroring ain 't giving you protection from that. I would separate the recovery log to array A and lose the mirroring on both DB and log(maybe mirror log between arrays). Restoration of a broken DB should only mean a couple hours outage, in your case.

Re: RAID5 in TSM
Hi , I thank all for your suggestions.I removed the mirrors of db and log.There is a great improvement in the performance.I am recommending the customer to have non RAID disks for db and log.Then i mirror the db and log.

Though these were old ones and some microcode improvement have improved these numbers especially for small block sizes. Remember, these are subject to discussion as well because they depend on the block size of the data. I believe these are based on 4K block sizes. And as you say, there are not many application servers that can absorb data at these rates. Paul D.

ESS runs at a "theoretical" speed of 1280 MB/s yes. that's because you count the fiber channel connections towards the outside. but the internal busses are 4 133MB/s PCI busses. that makes a max throughput from the cache to the arrays of 512MB/s (I'm not talking about the new 800 which I'm not familiar with). and those are split between the two halves of an ESS; so a lot of care has to be taken in how you configure volumes and spread them through the machine. this little "trick" is what every vendor does, us (IBM), Hitachi, EMC etc. in the same fashion you will not get the "claimed" throughput of an Hitachi or EMC machine in 99% of real world cases. the ESS arrays are REALLY RAID5 arrays, and the performance lag with respect to a RAID 1 machine is negligible in the vast majority of cases. there will be those few "top notch" customers who will not be satisfied with this, and, if they have the money (because RAID 5 is basically a trade off between performance and cost), they will go for a RAID 1 machine.

I know of two ways to do this with 'dsmc sched'. One can use the central scheduler to run a script that spawns child process to run two 'dsmc inc' commands at appropriate times. I am reasonably sure this approach will also work with dsmcad. Alternatively, one can register two node names for the system, run a copy of the client scheduler process for each node name, and set up a separate schedule for each node. This approach entails creating two server stanzas in dsm.sys with an explicit nodename option in at least one of the stanzas. It also entails using the -servername option when starting at least one of client scheduler processes. I don't know whether this second approach can be modified to work with dsmcad.

I.e. so I can identify which offline volumes I need to put in my library for a restore before actually running the restore command. Similarly, given a node, how do I determine what volumes the node has data backed up to.

Environment: OS : AIX 4.3.3 ML 10 ( 32 bit ) TSM : TSM 5.1.0.0 server ( 32 bit ) We are planning to upgrade AIX 4.3.3 (32 bit) to AIX 5.2 (64 bit). What are the precaustions shuld i take? Can i restore the TSM db backup taken on 4.3.3 to 5.2? If i want TSM 5.1 64 bit, how should i go about it? Same time, we are upgrading AIX on Production server ( SAP R/3 ). TDP for ESS for R/3 1.1.10.1 is running on Production ( Primary Server ) and TSM Server (Backup Server). What are the issues involved in it? Thanks Regards Raghu.
Re: delete filespace
Hi These are from Admin Guide. I hope Tony can understand it now. DELETE FILESPACE (Delete Client Node Data from the Server) Use this command to delete file spaces from the server. Files that belong to the file space are deleted from primary and copy storage pools. . EXPIRE INVENTORY (Manually Start Inventory Expiration Processing) Use this command to manually start inventory expiration processing. The inventory expiration process removes client backup and archive file copies from server storage based on policy specified in the backup and archive copy groups of the management classes to which the files are bound. Regards Raghu. "Robert L. Rippy" cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Subject: Re: delete filespace Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/11/2002 06:18 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" You are correct on how expiration works, but Michelle is talking about a manual delete or deletion of filespaces. WHen you delete a filespace as Michelle has done the data is removed immediately and expire inventory isn't necessary. I don't think its a matter how long I have been doing TSM, yet a matter that I understand TSM and how it works. But I have been doing TSM for 3 years currently. Please, try this with a test node and see what happens. Expiration is there for files that are expired by the client. The client marks files as expired in the database, then when you run expiration, it deletes the files that have been marked for expirarion from the database. If you delete a filespace you are telling TSM that you know you want them gone and they are deleted immediately. How long have you been working with TSM? Would anyone like to make a comment on this and help Tony Trinh understand better how TSM functions?

Hi Tom You are controlling SAP R/3 database versioning through TSM, not TDP R/3 ( ) I take online backup on weekdays ( Mon - Satday ) & offline backup on Sunday.

If it treats online and offline combinely , to maintain three versions of offline backup i shoud use MAX_VERSIONS=21 which is going to eat 21 * 500 GB = 10.5 TB on my tapepools (..it sounds tooo much ...).

I currently have four SAP systems running, and have 7 management classes defined. First and foremost -- off-line redo log copies. I have two management classes (PRDLOG1 and PRDLOG2) so I can have two seperate storage pool chains, disk and tape. There's no point in doing two sets of logs if they can end up on a common media somewhere. These two classes are used for all SAP instance redo logs and have a 21-day retention (redo log retention should match off-line backup retention). PRDLOG1 ties to storage pool PRDLOG1 (disk) with next pool of PRDLOG1-LT (lto tape). PRDLOG1-LT gets copied daily to PRDLOG1-LT-COPY for off-site movement. PRDLOG1 ties to storage pool PRDLOG2 (disk) with next pool of PRDLOG2-LT (lto tape). PRDLOG2-LT gets copied daily to ARCH-LT-COPY for off-site movement. (ARCH-LT-COPY also gets a copy of ARCH-LT which is the lto pool for all non-SAP oracle archives). Then my SAP data archive. The production instance uses management class PRDSAP-ONLINE (online backups, 8 day retention) or PRDSAP-OFFLINE (21 day retention -- run once per week). Both tie to tape storage pool PRDSAP-LT, which copies daily to PRDSAP-LT-COPY for off-site rotation. I do not run reclaims on any of the PRDSAP tape; I just let them die a natural death after 8 or 21 days. I DO run reclaims on the redo log tapes copies, and tend to have 4 to 6 lto tapes tied up in either class off-site. My technical sandbox uses LOCALARCH as a management class. This ties to a LOCALARCH disk pool with LOCAL-LT as next pool. 21 day retention, no off-site copy (sandbox and test oracle databases, other archives of systems that can be rebuilt from off-site copies of production environments). My test/QA region uses TSTSAP as a mangement class, pointing to an LTO pool TSTSAP-LT; 21 day retention, no off-site copy. We rebuild from the PRD environment about every six weeks by cloning. My DEV environment uses DEVSAP-LT as a management class, pointing to a disk pool called ARCHIVEPOOL with next pool of ARCH-LT, 21 day retention (and yes, it copies to ARCH-LT-COPY nightly). In addition, I run weekly archives of the non-database SAP filesystems (/sapmnt/SID, /oracle/SID, /usr/sap/trans, and a few local filesystems using the PRDLOG1 and PRDLOG2 management classes. These are done to speed up point-in-time recovery at D/R by laying down the most recent Sunday from the archive and then restoring to 'now'. SAP recommends you keep 3 generations of your off-line backup (archive); 21 days works if you do this weekly. If you run off-line monthly you'll want 90+ days and need to adjust redo log retention to match. Is there anything else I can add to further confuse the issue? The mish-mosh of pools I use has been set up to optimise D/R recovery and the off-site storage pool backup process. They work for us; we've had a number of successful D/R drills over the years.

TSM client CPU utilization 100%
Hi Greetings, I am receiving complaints from clients that CPU utilization of TSM clients ( Winodws NT 4.0, Win 2 K,Win 98 &95) is shooting up to 100% during the time of scheduled backup. Due to this , end users are feeling the system is hanging up and they are either stopping the Client service or rebooting their system resulting in unsuccessful backups.Most of the clients config is Pentium II or III with minimum of 64 MB RAM. The schedule mode is polling and i am using default resourceutilization parameters. How can i bring the CPU utilization down to lower levels?

I took the complete backup of the Win NT server on to TSM ( C: D: E: drives including Registry and eventlog ). C: OS and applications Applications including SAP R/3 and Oracle D and E contains Data I performed drill in following sequence ( on testing machine which is identical to the Win NT server ) - I installed the Windows NT with the same partition table - I installed TSM client - i first restored C drive ( without WINNT folder ) - Then i restored D and E drives - Then i restored registry I tried to access SAP and oracle there were lot of windows popup, and i could access the application I repeated the above procedure again , this time with WINNT folder restored again lot of error message windows poped up 1) Does TSM support this type restoration ( i mean without reinstalling Applications again ) 2) When shuld i restore the Registry?

I don't know, but there could be a few bucks to save. I believe that Adic have quit a few other libraries in their series. You also have Compaqs MSL5026 (very scalable - OEM'ed from Overland), StorageTek L20,L40,80,L180,L700(I have best experience with the larger ones - L180 and up). Back to what's good and not - check Tivolis site for Supported Devices http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/requirements.html and check the libraries/drives mentioned there. Rgds.

If I understand Henrik's question, there doesn't appear to be a parameter which governs how long a process will wait for the tape drives to become available. We just run a script which cancels all Reclaim processes, whether they are active, waiting for tape mounts or waiting for drives. Richard Foster Norsk Hydro mountwait parameter in devclass definition regds Raghu Hi all! Is there a server option or a another why to specify for how long a process will be active?

Now The idea is to use a second networkcard solely for TSM. Now I cant find anywhere how I can make TSM understand to access through the other networkcard as its always accesses the client on clientname and not IP adres. And as far as ive seen tsm accesses through the primary IP adres. does anyone know how to do this? and if its actually possible? I must have it solved by tonight. michelle

Re: $$ACTIVE$$
After validating and activating the policy set, "ACTIVE" policy set will be created. Whenever there is a modification to the policy set , it should be activated to make the changes effective.You can define multiple policy sets to the domain.However, there can be only one active policy set per domain.

Re: Link to TSM Clients
Instead of making it easier, the site was messed up. I am facing it difficult to find any information which i used to get in few clicks. I still don't undertsand the strategy of following a "SEARCH" rather a tree structure of items. I believe SEARCH gives random results, a tree structure gives comprehensive idea.

The changes in the Tivoli web site may have improved some things, but in many ways things are far worse for anyone trying to use that site. In the past (about a year and a half ago) it used to be relatively easy to find things, and to position to them. Now it's almost impossible to readily find things on the web site - as has been the subject of MANY postings. The TSM manuals are a case in point... In the past we used to be able to go to a page and, boom, there were all the manuals, ready to view: just pick one and you're there. Now you have to plow through the absurd "Tivoli Information Center", position to the "S" region, then try to locate anything TSM amongst other Tivoli clutter, and then you have to go from place to place to look at Messages, then Server docs, then separately to Clients. This is patently absurd, and points to everything that's wrong with Tivoli thinking. They really seem to believe that this chaos is beneficial to customers!? We're back to the old IBM attitude of defining what customers need rather than discerning needs, listening, and providing actually useful solutions. I despair for the * Storage Manager product as long as it is under the generic amalgam called Tivoli. Richard Sims, BU
Re: what steps to restore file from offsite copy pool volume
Hi You can restore the file to client machine immediately even though file is marked as damaged in primary storage pool provided correct copy of file is available in copystorage pool ( volume access should be readwrite or readonly ). Later on you can restore to primary storage pool with >restore stg copystgpool= This command will restore files marked as damaged and volumes marked as destroyed. hope this helps you Regards raghu.

Re: recovery log filling up rapidly: Please help: EMERGENCY!!!! !
Hi Joni Its strange to see recovery log filling up to 5GB level in NORMAL mode ( you mentioned that in ur previous mail). In NORMALMODE recovery log doesn't keep transactions, it deletes transaction as soon as it committed to database.Thats why only Point-in-Retsore ( till the last consistent database backup) possible with recovery log in NORMAL mode. You can't use database backup trigger with recovery log in NORMAL mode. with TSM 5.x Recovery Log max size is 13GB. I can't figure out the reason for this behaviour.Let me know if you could find the reason.

My recovery log is filling up at a rapid rate. I am running TSM at 4.1.3 on the mainframe. It is 4.6 GB and my DB is 48 GB with 46 GB in use. I am not running expiration of the inventory yet due to a previous deletion of a nodes data, could that be the cause? I noticed that the log is reaching about 95% full before I run another full backup. I usually run a full DB backup every day at 4:30. What can I do? I can't increase the recovery log because I guess on this version it can only go to 5 GB? What version is this no longer true for? I really need help and I can't find anyone from IBM to return my calls. My previous problem with the recovery log is no longer true. It does now reset back to 0% after a full backup, but I am running out of space. I do have the log fully extended and with the 5 GB limit I am stuck. Also, I can't set up a DB backup trigger because I am on the mainframe and that feature of TSM is not available.

No of Mount points
Hi How TSM counts number of mount points? Is it Total number of defined drives to Library or Total number of mount points available at that particular time? y'day i observed TSM database sanpshot backup schedule Completed with database snapshot backup operation failed. It picked up the drive which was unavailable due to hardware problems. There were two more drives available with TDP parallel backup running. Why didn't db back up preempt TDP backup? Thanks Regards Raghu.
