Enterprise Solution.

[Yury Us]

Hi everybody,
Currently we use ADSM for back up only, but there are some other components,
so I am trying to get information about those components too and need a good
advice.

SUTUATION: We have few overseas locations in different countries, where
development is taking place.

So this is a very important task monitoring the software installed on all
PC, servicepacks installed on every single PC, to make the possible
transition from overseas computers here in headquarters.

Another important task is deployment and installation the software to the
clients. Sometimes it is a hundred PC on client site.

Third task is to produce the servisepacks and deploy them to client.

Next very important task is keeping track about what the client has.

QUESTION: Does anybody has experience with Tivoli that covers the listed
above issues?
Documentation claims that all that software exists already. If there are
people who think that using that software is a smart choice I would
appreciate the answer.

Yuriy Us.

Re: Enterprise Solution.

[Yury Us]

Do I need to install some additional software for that? 
Is there some books that explain how to set up everything?
The only information I was able to get is how to set up inter-server
communication, and that works ok.

Yury US,
Yes, I've done it for IBM internally and externally
and it can be done w/TSM.

Again about performance and a lot of small files.

[Yury Us]

Hi,
I have a problem with performance. It works extremely slow on few volumes.

Few words about environment:
AIX 4.3; TSM 4.1.3; IBM ULTRIUM library with 2 drives.

Library is splitted on two logical parts and the first half is used for
primary pool and second part for copy pool. The primary pool has collocation
on, but second no. Three nodes have a lot of small files.

Usually reclamation on volumes where is placed one of those nodes takes few
days, and that is unacceptable.
I made a search over the database and found few recommendations like use
reclamation using (1)"Reclaim Storage Pool" on disk or (2)move data to other
storage pool and let them migrate back. 

I was surprised that in (1) case data was not moved on Reclaim storage pool
with one shoot and them reclaimed during migration back. It started
reclamation during copying data on disk. Well I tried to move data on the
disk storage pool. Guess what happened? The system moves data file by file
(what is equal to reclamation). During those operations I checked activities
on disks and usage of the processor, but there was nothing. Looks like tape
drive used all the time. For 1G information it took 2hours.

The other problem is on collocated storage pool in most cases reclamation
starts without changing a status of volume. So when volume has the "filling"
status and reclamation goes very long(few days) the new information keep
adding to the same volume and it is endless.

If somebody can propose the other way around I would gladly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.

How to suppress ANR2963W

[Yury Us]

Hi all!
I use SQL in my scripts to determine whether backup finished or not and it
worked OK until few days ago the following message appeared:
ANR2963W This SQL query may produce a very large result table, or may
require a significant amount of time to compute.

Do you wish to proceed? (Yes/No)

The script hangs at this place. Is there way to suppress this message?

Here is a fragment of the script:

 integer  KEEPWAITING;
 READY='0'   # 1 when backlog will have evidence of dbbkp completion
 KEEPWAITING=1 # number of checks of actlog for dbbkp result
 SLEEPPERIOD=900  # 15 minutes

 while [[ $READY != '1' ]] && (( $KEEPWAITING <= 4 ))
 do
  # sql query TSM database for completion code
  echo " select msgno, Message, date_time  from actlog  -
 where date_time>timestamp(current date , '00:00')  and msgno=0985
   " |dsmadmc -id=$ADSM_ADMIN -pa=$ADMIN_PWD -servername=$ADSM_SERV
-displaymode=list |
while read lx
do
  # skip 8-th first lines
  read lx;read lx;
  read lx;read lx;
  read lx;read lx;
  read lx;read lx;
  if [[ "ANR2034E" = ${lx%% *} ]]
  then
sleep $SLEEPPERIOD;
KEEPWAITING=$KEEPWAITING+1 ;
break; #not completed yet.
  else
READY='1'; #has completed
break;

How to exclude all mapped network drives using clopt?

[Yury Us]

Does anybody knows how to exclude mapped drives from backup via CLOPT?

My situation:
I have server 4.3.1 running on  AIX4.3 and about 600 clients on PCs.

The task is to backup only documents because of limited space in the tape
library.

So I created clopt set where I exclude and include what I need. But on some
PC there is a mapped drives and that information also goes in to backup.

Any thoughts or comments?

Windows mailbox backup

[Yury Us]

I am trying to backup mailbox from my PC.
Of course I understand that if I could stop my MSOutlook before backup and
restart it after, it would be the best way to do. But I did not find the way
to stop MSOutlook from command line. The other posibility to keep mailbox on
server and backup server instead of client is unacceptable to me too.
So the only way to go seems to me is backup *.pst files while the file is
held by MSOutlook.

Here is my CLOPTSET:

 The scheduler is type=command and the objects line has the following:

'su - root -c "/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/resp_brar_tsm", where
resp_brar_tsm is the script with the commands of TDP for SAP to backup the

When I run the script manually it works, or when I run from the  command

The problem is with the TSM scheduler daemon in background.

Re: Can't get EXCLUDE Right!

[Yury Us]

Well, to exclude directories you should use exclude.dir, but be careful with
that, it will exclude directory first and then check your include
statements. 

Check in your online help chapter named "Creating an Include-Exclude List".
You will find many interesting information there.  By the way instead of
three your excludes you may use just one
  exclude *:\Op2IR\...\*

Keep in mind, that TSM trying to backup for you some information by default,
and among this information is the information about directories. When you
exclude files you do not exclude directory that contain the files. That is
probably what you see. TSM exclude files but not directories.

how to redirect output from admin schedule command?

[Yury Us]

I am trying to redirect output from my script. It works ok from the command
line and doesnot from the administrative schedule. I simply cannot define
such a schedule.

this consruction works:
run MyScript 01:10 > /tmp/xx.out

this construction doesnot work:
def sch MySch t=a cmd="run MyScript 01:00 > /tmp/xx.out" per=1 peru=h dur=30
duru=m

TSM cannot recognise the syntaxsis.

Does anybody has a suggestion how to send the output from the script called
from administrative schedule to a file?

P.S1. The script is an SQL statement and if it is a way to redirect output
from SQL it will work too.
P.S2.  I am using AIX 4.3, TSM 4.2

Is there good complete manual for TSM SQL?

Archive does not work.

 Archive from AIX node is hanging up. For half an hour it sent only 1.5k

The act log shows the only sesion start message, and 'q ses' shows IdleW
constantly.
The Archive is the only TSM process running on the node.There are no problem
with performance neither on network nor AIX machines.

We run TSM4.1.4 version on AIX4.3. There are no new messages in either log

If somebody have had the similar situation please let me know how did you
manage it.

The environment description:

Windows NT server, Oracle 8.1.7, TDP for Oracle v2.2.1

It worked before but stopped because the registry got corrupted. I
uninstalled tdp and tsm clients, reboot the computer, installed the tdp only
and got those messages.

All my previous experiments a day before with reinstalling both tdp and tsm,
installing them in different order first tdp then tsm and vise versa always
gave me the same results.

May be somebody more experienced knows what is "API Run Time Header Level"
and where the runtime API is installed and the main things how to reinstall
it.

Thank you in advance,
Yuriy.

done what a *prospective* customer would do - check for TSM supported
devices without using password. It was a real nightmare - I've spent
half
hour digging to find a way through the links and hit about ten times
the
lock and login.

The site is having bad ergonomics, it is slow, overloaded, ugly,
stinks,
etc. I can find too many ways to express my frustration.
In short-term I can benefit from the situation, providing paid support
to
our customers for nearly everything. But in long-term the customers
will
rush away and both we and IBM will lose.

Multiple TSM servers on single machine.

[Yury Us]

Hi TSMers

Did somebody has any experience with running more then one TSM5.2
servers on the same AIX machine?
The problem I am having now it takes five days to run audit db. So I am
thinking of splitting server to two and this way split database which
now has 50G.
My concerning here is how stable it will be? 
Does the servers do not interfere to each other because of bugs or any
other reasons?
May be some of you have some other concerning? 

Please share your experience.

Sincerely Yuriy.

Re: Multiple TSM servers on single machine.

[Yury Us]

Well,
The reason I ran audit this time was some weird behavior of server.
Evidently I found a file space "disappeared". But if was visible only if
you query it with '*' in pattern. And you can't restore single file from
that filespace, but only whole filespace. 
I am pretty confident that it was ok couple month ago. So when I removed
that filespace from server all those files appeared as a part of root
filesystem. Now I can query them without "*". I was not sure how many
such defects I had and run audit. Half year ago when I did audit, it
took me 2.5 days, I ran it over weekends and it was acceptable, This
time it lasted for 5 days, so half week company did not have any backup,
oracle guys started screaming, because their backups eated almost all
available diskspace. So in future I don't expect it to work faster, or
having some kind of audit that you can run online, together with backup
and reclamation. Simply I am trying to be proactive.
Of cause here is always option to get better computer, but I don't
believe that all of you are running your backups on the best computers
in you company:)

Yury,

Not a problem running multiple instances of ITSM server on a single
system.  I have worked on machines with 4 ITSM servers on a single AIX
system.

Now the real question is why are you doing an audit db?  This is not a
command that should be run casually.  You should only be running that
when you absolutely have to.  A 50 GB db although it is large it is not
unusual nor unmanageable.  You might want to give us some more of your
reasons for doing an audit db as well as why you want to split the ITSM
server.  With more information we can give you some better informed
answers.

Upgradedb question

Hi everybody,
I am upgrading 5.1.8 server to 5.2.3.3 and got such errors.
Does anybody knows what they mean? Is it save for information in
database?

What actualy happening is I installed on second machine the same server
5.1.8 and restored database from last backup. Then I upgraded software
to version 5.2.3.3 and it required UPGRADEDB. The Idea is simply swap
disks in original server after all done.

So do you think I can put new server to the production?

Yury -
It's conceivable that this message is spurious, resulting from a client
connection attempt while dsmserv was doing conversion work and thus not
in a position to accept sessions. If you're invoking it in foreground,
console mode, then setting server option COMMmethod NONE should prevent
accesses; or change TCPPort to an unusual value during the conversion.
You may want to pass this by TSM Support, to be certain.

Very slow backup

[Yury Us]

Hi everybody,
Recently I have upgraded AIX TSM server to TSM5.2.3.3 and here is a
problem.
AIX clients work very slow. I have mixture of 5.1.5 and 5.2.0 clients.
Windows clients worked fine and fast though. I tried switch off
compression - did not help, next I let it use up to 8 sessions
simultaneously - the same result. Neither server nor clients have any
performance problem.

Any comments would be kindly appreciated.

With best regards,

Complete disaster

[Yury Us]

Hi everybody,
I have  TSM5.2 server on AIX5.2 and 5.2 client on Windows2003,
filesystem ntfs.

After server died I am able to restore files and directories, but not
permission.
This is a disaster. It was a huge server and a lot of directories had
special permissions.

Can somebody explain me or give a link on how to make backup from
windows server properly. Is there a way to retrieve permissions to the
folders and files now?  

DSM server 5.1.0.7 hangs during night backup.

[Yury Us]

Hi all,
I have very unpleasant situation with my DSM server. It hangs 1 or 2 times a
week during the night backup. Every single client (I have 500 nodes) hangs
too. So After rebooting the server all client nodes have to be restarted.

We fixed all suspicious hardware problems, installed latest AIX4.3.3 patches
and DSM server patch, all installations did not help. I ran auditdb during
this weekends. It found a few discrepancies and fixed them. But last night
server hangs again.

There is no any suspicious messages or errors in the actlog. On some clients
in dsmerror file I see the following error:
10/27/03   22:26:48 ANS1005E TCP/IP read error on socket = 7, errno = 73,
reason : 'A connection with a remote socket was reset by that socket.'.

But most nodes don't have even that.

My environment is as follows:
AIX 4.3.3
DSM Server 5.1.0.3
Nodes mixture of versions from 4.2 to 5.2 versions.

Have you ever had or heard of such a problem and what would you recommend to
do next?

With respect,
Yuriy Us.

Andreas - You may have a combination of problems...

If the tape drive is reporting EOV and you see that the volume is far from full,
I would look into the firmware level being used on your drives.  We've seen too
many LTO firmware problems recently, and this may be another.

Your Query Volume output shows "Scratch Volume?: No" which suggests that you may
not be supplying a scratch tape pool for that stgpool: see if the stgpool needs
more empty, candidate volumes assigned to it, or implement a scratch pool.
In concert, I would also check whether your collocation setting for that migration
stgpool is requiring a separate tape for further migration to occur.

Backup omits the disk storage pool.

[Yury Us]

Hi everybody,
I have "Storage Management Server for AIX-RS/6000 - Version 5, Release 1, Level 8.0"
Right after I upgraded to this version strange things started happening to the server.
Before I had disk buffer 8Gb and all backups were good. All backup usually completed 
before 6 or 7 am.
Now I have plenty backups completed around noon and even later. If I do "q se f=d" I 
see a loot of sessions waiting a mount point. Looks like it happening right when 
migration is triggered first time in the night. So I increased the disk pool  up to 
24Gb ( that is all I have now) and now it looks like follows:
WRKDISK  DISK  24,610.0   26.4   26.0705  WRKPOOL

The strange thing here is when migration starts it never ends. The same volumes is 
requested by nodes and is used for both migration and backup, means backup goes 
through migration process. Look what gives me "q pr" command:

   1,812 MigrationDisk Storage Pool WRKDISK, Moved Files: 96162,
   Moved Bytes: 22,031,622,144, Unreadable Files:

   0, Unreadable Bytes: 0. Current Physical File
   (bytes): 12,288
Waiting for mount of output
   volume 880ABP (35 seconds).

---

Pay attention to the "Moved Bytes". It is 22G on every drive. Maximum backup size may 
not exceed 1g per PC and usually 200-300 Mb. But I have about 500 PCs.


Am I the only one who has this problem?
 If you know how to fix it please share your experience.
I want nodes do not reserve the tapes but keep backup going to diskpool and let 
migration move the data to the tapes.

Yuriy Us.

need solutions for offsite storage.

[Yury Us]

Hi everybody,
I hope if somebody can share with me the experience how do you keep offsite tapes.
As for today I have about 140 tapes offsite from copy pools. And the number keeps 
growing.
Currently I have 3 cartoon boxes, but they are full already. The worst part I have to 
keep those tapes in the boss office safe and to replace them I have to carry those 
have boxes to the other room.
How do you handle your offsite pool?

Thank you in advance,

Virtual nodes. UNIX/Windows

[Yury Us]

Hi everybody,
I am trying to write a little script to prepare daily report about ORACLE backups. We 
are using TDP for ORACLE.

The idea is very simple. For every TDP node I do first "dsmc q f -virtualnode=XXX 
-passw=YYY"
The next thing is "dsmc q b  -virtualnode=XXX -passw=YYY"
And here is a problem. dsmc version of 5.2  for windows works ok for windows nodes, 
but not for UNIX nodes and vise versa.
Does anybody have an idea how to fix it?

May be  there is another solution. I am trying to figure out what files belongs to the 
filespace on the node. I need to see their dates and sizes. Recently I figure out that 
I have a lot of garbage in TSM that our ORACLE group losted track. So I am trying to 
make a daily report and send them to check what do I have in TSM in fact.

Environment: Server 5.1.8, AIX4.3.3. TDP 2.1.2, dsmc mixture of versions 5.1.5 and  
5.2 on windows and AIX5.2

Try a "q cont 758ABP"; I'm guessing it'll come back with "volume
contains
no files", or some such message.

For these, I usually get the tape back onsite, and run an "audit vol"
over them. If that does nothing, I do a "move data", then move them back
to scratch.

Never looked into the real cause.

Hi ALL,
I have found bunch strange messages recently in my act log "ANR1163W Offsite
volume 758ABP still contains files which could not be moved.".
When I did
  restore stg  copy= preview=yes
it completed successfully after few seconds. No volumes requested to
restoring, like primary pool is consistent with copy pool.
I searched ADSM.ORG and found that in previous discussions about this
message were proposed variants to remove or audit offsite volumes or even
remove whole storage pool. I did not tried it yet, but before do that can
somebody tell me how to make sure that my primary pool is okay.

What is that, bug? May be somebody heard something about fixes?

I have AIX 4.3.3, adsm server 5.1.8. Clients are mixture of AIX,HP,Windows
on versions 5.1.5 and 5.2. The problem appeared during reclamation of
offsite storage.

Audit db usually takes 3+ days to complete with complete shutdown of all
backups. So should be really bad reason to stop the backup process.

Thank you in advance for any comments and ideas.

Hi,

Can anyone help me with next problem.

By coincidence I saw we have a lot of old file backups hanging around
which should have been expired a long time ago

For example we still have inactive file backups from October 2002 and
the corresponding Mgmt class is defined as follows :

Versions data exists = 5
Versions data deleted = 3
Retain extra versions = 90
Retain only version = 360

The original files were deleted on disk somewhere end of 2002.
I would expect that those backups should have been deleted after 360
days  end 2003 

The client (Windows NT) is still at level 4.2.1.30 TSM Server (running
on Z/OS) is at level 5.1.80

We are running expiration process on a daily base

AIX JFS1 filesystems have a maximum file size limit of 64G. The

Subject: Re: MAX size for disk volume

Yuri,

AIX JFS1 filesystems have a maximum file size limit of 64G. The
filesystem output you've given looks JFS1 so I'll assume that /vol1 is
JFS1.  If you recreate the filesystem as JFS2 you should have better
luck.

Subject: MAX size for disk volume


Hi everybody.
I searched over ADSM.ORG and find out that there is no limitation for
volume size. But may be somebody can explain to me what am I doing
wrong?

The message I have got is :
# ./dsmfmt -g -data /vol1/vol1.dsm 120

File size for /vol1/vol1.dsm must be less than 68,589,453,312 bytes

I have on that filesystem 136Gb free space.

The computer is F50, AIX5.2 ADSMserver 5.2.0. No clients yet.

I created filesystem as follows:
  File system name/vol1
  NEW mount point[/vol1]
  SIZE of file system
  Unit Size   512bytes
+
* Number of units[286261248]
#
  Mount GROUP[]
  Mount AUTOMATICALLY at system restart?  yes
+
  PERMISSIONS read/write
+
  Mount OPTIONS  []
+
  Start Disk Accounting?  no
+
  Fragment Size (bytes)   4096
  Number of bytes per inode   131072
  Compression algorithm   no
  Large File Enabled  true
  Allocation Group Size (MBytes)  64


Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Audit hangs.

[Yury Us]

Hi everybody,
I am facing a weird AUDIT command behavior.

I run TSM 5.1.8 server on AIX4.3 and have two ultrium libraries 3583 and
3584 connected to the machine. Everything was good until suddenly 3583
library failed. Only reboot of aix plus switching power off for that
library helped. Now library works, but I moved manually few tapes from
drives to slots and now experiencing problem.

I tried call AUDIT LIBRARY with checking barcode and read labels. I left
it for a night. The result is the same - it hangs. A few weeks ago I ran
the audit and it worked ok. The worst part is when audit hands, other
processes related to that library hang too.

Have somebody ever experienced such behavior? Is there a way to get
additional information about what is wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Yuriy Us.

Re: Audit hangs.

Yes, that was the case. I killed all processes and dismount all tapes.
Only after that it started to work. But I remember that in previous
versions audit gave a message to remove tapes from the drives.

Thank you for you help.

You can not run audit lib while any other process or session is using
tapes.  Might that be your problem?
