TSM DB occupied space
Hello, Can somebody please tell me if the TSM DB occupy's more space if a node has more data then a node that has more files? Example: Node A has 200 files but 1 TB of storage on the TSM pool Node B has 2 files but 200 GB of storage on the TSM pool Which occupies more space on the TSM DB? Thanks!
Re: How do you verify the Completion and Accuracy of Backups and Restores?
Try ServerGraph or Bocada, they both do a good job on reporting -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wesley Smith Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 8:41 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] How do you verify the Completion and Accuracy of Backups and Restores? Hi All, I've just joined this group and I am pleased to see a lot of healthy discussion going on. The main reason I joined the group has to do with trying to find some way to help out the people who are responsible for dealing with Tivoli Storage Manager at a neighboring agency. I represent a State agency in Louisiana. We do a lot of large applications for Statewide users as well as departmental support. We do not have to deal with the H/W and OS issues. That's someone else's job. That also means that they are responsible for the backup and recovery procedures for our application servers. That's where Tivoli and you guys come in. My problem is that they (that sister agency) do not seem to have a reliable way of verifying that all backups have been properly completed. They don't even seem to have a way to know that all files (that need to be backed up) are being backed up. I've seen the reports that get generated during the backup process and I am definitely unimpressed. Backups start and backups complete. There doesn't seem to be anything that says how many rows are copied or how large the files are or anything else that could be used for verifying the accuracy of the backups. They tell my folks that we should trust Tivoli is doing the job correctly. Trust is the problem We have needed to have restores done on just a few databases in the past and the restores were not complete and up to date. In each case we were able to rebuild the data using logs maintained within the applications but that should not have been necessary. Each recovery was done at a point after a backup and before additional processing had been done within the apps so they should have been complete. In each case, the folks who run Tivoli for us were able to track down and show that problems had occurred during the processing of the backups. They did this through circumstantial evidence and in each case once again said that they have no way of verifying that the backups are actually good. I hear a lot about the difficulty of trying to write a program to process the Tivoli log files. I think I'm at wit's end with these folks and the product. I know that the people are competent and I suspect that the product (like other things available from IBM) really is weak on the reporting and verification issue. I'm hoping that someone out there in the Big Wide World has already solved this problem with an in-house or third-party solution. Sorry for being so long winded. Any ideas...? Wesley Smith

Right, I saw that link too, but I did not see anything specific to TSM and native support for NoSQL or Big Data in general. Regardless of the version of NoSQL, I just wanted to know if TSM has support for "Hot" backup modes or native support without exporting the data as most of these types of big data can be in the TB's range and exporting it will not be something we can support easily and the same for using tools like hardware base snaphosts or anything like that...

Re: persistent binding T10000D drives on RedHat 6.4
I think for non IBM devices, you go here...
For the Tivoli Storage Manager devices:
Users can issue autoconf, the Tivoli Storage Manager device driver auto
configure script. This script resides in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin
directory (or in the same directory as the tsmscsi file) to be able to
configure devices and get all the current special file names and device
information. The device special file name is /dev/mtX for tape devices and
/dev/lbX for medium changers.
Tip: Special file name: dev/tsmscsi/mt0, /dev/tsmscsi/lb0
Note: Alternatively, reinstalling the IBM device driver. Tivoli Storage Manager
device driver updates all the current special file names.

Subject: [ADSM-L] persistent binding T1D drives on RedHat 6.4
Hello everybody,
I'm in the process of configuring Oracle T1D tape drives on RedHat 6.4
using the TSM device driver 7.1.1 (LAN-free backup), the TSM server 7.1.1
itself is running on AIX 7.1 .
The autoconf and tsmdlst do show all the drives on the Redhat nodes but I
would like to add them to the udev rules so that the device files are
persistent whenever the server requires a reboot.
Until now, we were using IBM LTO drives and had the following entry in the
98-lin_tape.rules file for them:
KERNEL=="IBMtape*", ATTRS{serial_num}=="1068100xyz",
SYMLINK="lin_tape/tsm_drive"
But what is the equivalent entry for a T1D drive? I've tried the following:
KERNEL=="sg*", ATTRS{serial_num}=="57900400abcd", SYMLINK="lin_tape/t10d_drive"
But that doesn't seem to do the trick. Can anybody assist me towards the
correct entry?
Many thanks!
Best regards,
Kurt

Most commonly, tapes automatically come from the scratches collection and return to scratch when emptied (rather than being assigned to a storage pool via DEFine Volume). And, UPDate Volume is rarely performed on volumes such that the administrative change timestamp remains that of when the volume was taken from scratch to be used in a storage pool. For basic reporting you can thus employ a variant of a Select statement like: select * from volumes where DAYS(CURRENT_DATE)-DAYS(CHG_TIME)<2 and DATE(LAST_WRITE_DATE)=DATE(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) From that point of departure you can play with timestamps for desired intervals, and further select on STATUS value as desired.

Shawn, Based on this information it appears that the VTL is only attached to the TSM server correct? So, the data to the client is not going to be as fast as restoring to the TSM server. Things to consider are... What is the LAN speed and duplex settings for the client? How is the LAN traffic when you are trying to restore? Is compression enabled on the TSM client side? How many channels/threads/mount points are you allowing the client to use? What type of data are you restoring, compress, database data, etc? Can you ping the TSM server from the client? Can you ping the Client from the TSM server? Anyway, I hope this helps! -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Drew Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 2:47 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Restore performance puzzler 5.4.1 AIX Server 5.3.4 AIX 5.1 Client Performing a 12 gB restore.

Re: Tricky conversion problem
One idea that you can try is to use the "GENERATE BACKUPSET" command and store this media for as long as you want. That way you can tell him that you have a saved copy of his data then move him to the new server and it should run a full backup of all his data anyway onto the new media. My two cents! :) -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martha McConaghy Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 11:09 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Tricky conversion problem We are moving to a new TSM server on a Pseries box with an IBM 3592 tape system from a very old mainframe based TSM server. We had not planned on moving any of the old data over to the new server as there was no requirement for it. However, we run into a single user who wants to have all of his previous backups moved to the new server, even though most are no longer usable (we are talking about old OS2 systems, etcevery PC he has ever used in the last 20 years). Since this user is our 2nd line manager, we have no choice to try and figure something out. The main problem is that the two servers are not compatible. The old server can only talk to 3590 tape drives, whose tapes are not usable in the new 3592s. So, I can't just export the data to tape and then import into the new server. (Ah if only life were that easy!). On a hunch, I've tried creating a server connection between old and new TSM server. Then, I exported a filespace to a virtual volume (devclass=server) on the new server. It sits on a 3592 tape right now. However, the new server will not allow me to import this tape, as it belongs to a pool and it thinks it is in use. Is there any way to make this work? I'm at a loss for ideas at this point. I could create a virtual volume on disk and move the old filespaces to it, but then I'll have to keep the old server running "forever" or at least until it will run no longer. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Deletion of onsite tape
Rich, My guess is that TSM expired some of the data that was on that volume, so when it restored it only restored non-expired data I guess if you have the database backup volume from when you would like to restore, you can try and do a point in time restore, that should work on your mini DR server. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Mochnaczewski Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 7:19 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Deletion of onsite tape Hi *, I have a scenario. We had an onsite tape that got mangeled by a drive. The tape showed 75% usage initially. When we did the restore from offsite tapes, TSM reported that it completed successfully but there was still 15% left on the tape. The user went ahead and did a del vol discarddata=yes ( yes , I already hear the groans ) and looking through the logs see the following message : 14.07.2008 10:28:05 ANR1256W Volume C60255 contains files that could not be restored. (SESSION: 130878) What we would like to do is setup TSM on a test server and perform a mini-DR. That is, restore the database prior to the del and do a query content on the volume and check against the current database to see what data is missing. My questions : 1) Why would TSM report the restore being successful when there was still data on it ? Could it be that running an audit vol would have fixed the volume against database and there was no data lost, just a volume messing up the TSM database pointers ? 2) We have the volumes that were used for the restore. Is there any way of restoring the data and then importing it back into the current environment ?

Re: Server looking for volume in wrong library
I wonder if you could have a label problem on that tape, you may want to re-label it. Also, when you run the command "q libvol TJULIB01_1120" what is the status of that one tape? -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Denier Sent: Friday, October 17, 2008 12:59 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Server looking for volume in wrong library We have a 5.4.2.0 server running under mainframe Linux. We are seeing an annoying error approximately once per month. We have three libraries defined in the TSM database. All three are really a single 3494 physical library. Library TJULIB01_3592 contains 3592 media formatted for an uncompressed capacity of 300 GB. It is used for primary storage pools. Library TJULIB01_1120 contains 3592 media formatted for an uncompressed capacity of 500 GB. It is used for copy storage pools. Library TJULIB01 contains 3590 media for copy storage pools. We have stopped writing to this type of media and will delete this library once we have a complete set of copies on 3592 media. We run reclamation for our new offsite storage pool with five concurrent processes. Approximately once per month TSM tries to find an input tape in library TJULIB01_1120. When this happens TSM displays a long series of messages requesting that the input tape involved be inserted into library TJULIB01_1120 and then reports a mount failure. When we investigate these failures, 'q libvol' commands always show that the volume is in TJULIB01_3592, as it should be, and 'mtlib' commands issued from a shell prompt show that the volume is in the physical library and has the right category. Searches of the activity log have never turned up any sign of 'checkin' and 'checkout' commands being used to shift the volume between libraries between the failure and the investigation. Searches for some of the message numbers that show up when the problem occurs turned up APAR IC48313, which does cause TSM to look for volumes in the wrong libraries. However, that APAR is only supposed to apply to TSM 5.3, and the APAR description indicates that the problem occurs when two reclamation processes try to access the same volume. The activity log for the last occurance of the problem shows no sign of concurrent requests. The volume was used and dismounted almost 14 hours before the problem occured, and the volume was not mentioned in the activity log again until TSM started asking that it be inserted into the wrong library.
Re: Server looking for volume in wrong library
The only other suggestion I have is to query the volume history and see what library used it last. "q volhist" Good luck. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Denier Sent: Friday, October 17, 2008 1:34 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Server looking for volume in wrong library -Ricardo.Ribeiro wrote: - >I wonder if you could have a label problem on that tape, you may want >to re-label it. The tape involved in the latest occurance of the problem was loaded, read, and unloaded without incident about 14 hours before the problem occurred, and again about 10 hours after the problem occurred. In any case, TSM finds out which library a tape is in by consulting the TSM database, not by reading the tape label. >Also, when you run the command "q libvol TJULIB01_1120" what is the >status of that one tape? The tape does not appear in the output from such a query. This is what I would expect; the tape was never supposed to be in the TJULIB01_1120 library, and I have found no evidence that it was ever put into that library erroneously. A similary query for the TJULIB01_3592 library shows a status of 'Private' and last use of 'Data' for the volume. This is exactly the result I would expect.
Re: IBM TS3310 Checkin/Checkout Tape Operational Question
Use the web interface of the library and assign the tapes to the logical library, that should work. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wanda Prather Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 9:37 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] IBM TS3310 Checkin/Checkout Tape Operational Question NO that's not normal. Something is hosed up in the config. The TS3310 should work just like a 3584 responding to a CHECKIN. (Your SEARCH=BULK should NOT have worked after you manually moved the tapes to storage slots.) What you didn't say is which I/O slots you are using. The 3310 can be configured with 6 I/O slots in the base unit, or with the 6 slots plus the (12? don't remember) slots in the expansion unit. Which are you using? I've seen some flaky problems trying to use the lower slots if things weren't configured properly. Never seen any issues using the top 6. -If you have changed the config of the logical library, make sure you stop and restart TSM. It has to pick up the number of slots & I/O slots when it starts. -Also: this is really weird, but make sure your HBA drivers are current. I actually saw a 3310 that has a problem with the I/O slots until the HBA drivers were updated to a level that included the correct tape I/O support..

Re: NDMP restore
We use the regular TSM client GUI, it works pretty good so far... The other option is to use the command line, but you will need to know the path of the file(S) you are restoring. I have not try the ISC GUI yet. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Huebner,Andy,FORT WORTH,IT Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 2:50 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] NDMP restore We are new to the NDMP side of TSM. One of the things we found out was that ISC cannot load a TOC with 545K objects. This is an IBM confirmed limitation of the ISC and is based on the size of the TOC. For those with NDMP, how do you handle file restores if the user is unsure of a file's name or date from which to restores? Do you dump the TOC, or is there a command I have missed?
