Re: w2k cluster and lanfree backup/restore
Stefan, - no problems to best of my knowledge. This is a supported configuration. - just put enablelanfree yes in each dsm.opt and restart schedulers. - you need only two Storage Agents - one for each node. It might be possible to have more than one Storage Agent but is useless. Node services for local resources might be better to stay over LAN. Each cluster-resource service will contact the Storage Agent on the local/active server over LAN (TCP/IP address 127.0.0.1). - the number of paths you have to define is two times the number of the drives - all drives from each storage agent. You cannot define paths only to part of the drives - the server can mount the tape in a drive you have no path to.

Re: SAN LANfree backup licensing requirements
My understanding was that SANergy was part of Tivoli for SAN, and comes with a client that is installed on each SAN client. I thought that SANergy was an optional product for doing certain kinds of LANfree backups, and that one can still do LANFree backups with just the Storage Agent, but here, they go to tape directly. If you do not have library sharing, then you should not have to purchase a shared library license. However, if you have 4 or more drives, you are required to have the 5.1 extended edition. We have extended edition. But, aren't the SAN client setup as Library Clients of the server? And if so, wouldn't this imply that Library Sharing is required?

Re: SAN LANfree backup licensing requirements
Incorrect. The question was about SAN-sharing of disk not tape. Managed Library is for *tape* libraries having more than certain ammount of drives and media slots. For disk sharing Tivoli SANergy license is needed and Managed Library *is not* required (regardless of number of hard disk drives).

Storage agent to multiple library managers?
Hello . . . (I hope I can ask this without making it so confusing that I don't even understand what I'm asking.) We have 2 datacenters with a SAN connecting them. All tsm instances, library manager instances, libraries, and drives are on this SAN. The 3584 libraries at each datacenter have a local/dedicated Library manager instance. All tsm instances at each site can access all tape drives at each site, via the appropriate library manager. TSM servers write backups to the local 3584, then make direct offsite copypools to the remote library. Say I have a node that performs lanfree backups to it's local tsm server and 3584 library, and then the tsm server creates the offsite copypool. All is good. During a lanfree restore, IF a PRIMARY pool tape is not available and a copy pool tape is used to access the data, that portion of the restore will go LAN - no lanfree path to the offsite tape drives or access to the offsite library manager instance. q) If I define the offsite library manager to the storage node and paths to the offsite library drives, will the storage agent be able to perform lanfree restore from the offsite copy pool? This means that the storage agent will have 3 server-to-server setups: sta -- to -- tsm server for the node sta -- to -- onsite library manager (with appropriate paths) sta -- to -- offsite library manager (with appropriate paths) Q) Does this work? Nothing I've read indicates that a storage agent can handle multiple library manager instances.

Fourth question : In my opinion VTLs provide not too much possibilities, in general VTLs aren't matures but it is ideal for lanfree backup.

Re: AIX LANFree 5.5.3.0
If your server and client fully evidence the indicators as described in the cited IC62348 APAR, you could pursue that. Otherwise, pursue applying the current maintenance level to your 5.5.0 client, which is unhealthily running at base level, with no maintenance. Once that is done, if the problem persists, I would perform some isolation testing, and turn on client tracing if that depth of information is necessary. Richard Sims

Re: Implementing LANFree data Movement - WIN Storage Agent Server Requirements
Yes, you'll certainly need Fibre Channel cards for your Storage Agent client - the whole point of LANfree data movement is that data is being moved (backed up/restored) does not traverse the LAN but instead moves directly between the host and the data storage device (be it tape or, more rarely, SANergy disk etc), thereby reducing LAN contention, removing potential LAN bottleneck and hopefully improving data throughput. You'll need a transport other than the LAN in order to achieve this. I've only ever implemented/seen this with fibre channel SAN for which FC adapter cards are required. Hope that helps, and I hope I've understood your question properly!

Re: Simultaneous Write
I just did this on a TSM server at 5.4.1.0 level. It seems to work fine, but I found a couple of operational limitations. I normally have a TAPEPOOL01 and a COPYPOOL01 storage pools that I use for tape copies. DISKPOOL is set to go to TAPEPOOL01. I was going to just change the TAPEPOOL01 storage pool to use a COPY Storage Pool: COPYPOOL01 setting. (This is what gives you the simultaneous copy.) But then reading through the documentation, I discovered that this setting overrides the LANFREE settings of the storage agents that I use on several of my machines. In other words, if I changed the TAPEPOOL01 to do a simultaneous copy to the COPYPOOL01, then my LANFREE would be disabled, and the data would be sent over the network and copied simultaneously to a TAPOOL01 tape and a COPYPOOL01 tape. This is a real bummer, since we wanted to avoid the network traffic to begin with by using LANFREE. What I ended up doing was creating a TAPEPOOL02 storage pool that was set up with a COPY Storage Pool: COPYPOOL01 setting. (Remember, that this is in effect a permanent or global setting for the storage pool. It really isn't intended to be turned on and off.) I then set up a management class that I called tapepool02backup and did individual include statements of the filesystems I wanted to perform a simultaneous backup on. Here is an example of one of my lines in my include_exclude.list file: include /tp02bkup/.../* tapepool02backup In my particular case, I have EMC BCV disks that I swing over to the TSM server machine and mount the appropriate filesystems onto the TSM server. Then the backup is made to the locally attached (via fiber) tape library. No network or LANFREE is involved. Right now only one backup is going to the TAPEPOOL02 storage pool. I had hoped that I could have simply modified my normally used TAPEPOOL01 pool to use simultaneous copy to the COPYPOOL01, but I discovered from the documentation (and confirmed with IBM support), that would have killed my LANFREE backups. This approach seemed to be the simplest alternative that I could come up with, and IBM support did not have anything easier to suggest. I had thought about creating an administrative script that would modify the TAPEPOOL01 to add the COPY Storage Pool parameter, perform the backup, and then delete the parameter. The problem with that approach in my case would be that during the time that the backup was being performed, any LANFREE backups would be forced over the network and then to the TAPEPOOL01. I could not just delete the parameter right after I started the simultaneous copy backup, because there would be no guarantee that a second pair of tapes would be needed, and that would not get the benefit of the simultaneous copy to the COPYPOOL01 tape for the second tape involved. If anybody else has a better approach to this problem, I sure would like to hear it. It would have been nice if the LANFREE storage agents would support simultaneous copy via the Storage Agent locally attached tape drives, but I don't know if IBM has any plans to do this in the future. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ribeiro, Ricardo Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2007 3:44 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Simultaneous Write Hello, I would like to know if someone has experience using the Simultaneous Write feature of TSM 5.4?

Cindy, thanks for taking the time to eply. Could you please clarify something else for me - from what I read in the Technical Guide, you have to have the Tape Sharing software implemented in order to use the Lanfree backup, is that correct? In this case, if you are just using Lanfree backup but not sharing tape libraries among multiple servers, is the Tape Sharing a separate component/ additional point charge for the server license ? (or whatever it's called now, I'm still fuzzy on 4.1 licensing!)

Urgent!! Restoring SQL metadata and data using LANFREE
Hi All I have the following dilemma.. We are using TDP for SQL version 2.2.1. We are backing up the data via the SAN (LANFREE) using the storage agent. The SQL metadata is going via the LAN to a diskpool on the TSM server. The backups all go through well enough, however when attempting a restore or trying to get fileinfo for SQL backups, the metadata cannot get retrieved from the diskpool.I can however restore data from tape lanfree. If the data is migrated to tape and the waitfortapemount box is checked in the GUI then the tape is mounted and the metadata retrieved. But if I disable the LANFREE path in the dsm.opt file, then the metadata filegroup info can be retrieved. IT cannot however retrieve the metadata from diskpool and data from tape at the same time if LANFREE is enabled. This is most annoying. I get this behaviour either via the GUI or using tdpsqlc from the command line. TSM server 5.1.1.6 TSM storage agent 5.1.1.6 TDP for SQL 2.2.1 Any help greatly appreciated Kind Regards Marc Layne Faritec (Pty) Ltd Services Delivery Manager Tel: +27 21 762 9702 Fax: +27 21 762 9737 Cell:+ 27 82 416 9086 Website: www.faritec.co.za E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DISCLAIMER: This message may contain information which is confidential, private or privileged in nature.

lanfree setup client compression
Hello, We have been trying to get lanfree to work, as I had stated in one of my previous emails. Thank you for all of your suggestions! The port was specified wrong and now the storagnt was configured correctly. We are still not getting lanfree to work though. We are getting the message ANS9210W lanfree path failed, so apparently something is still wrong... Is it true that once it fails you have to stop/start the storagnt to try lanfree again? I was also wondering why the data was compressed 100% if I have client compression set to NO? I thought that when you have a drive that does compression for you, you are to specify it to no and it will be done at the drive level?

Storage Agent Upgrade on AIX caused LANFree to slow way down
Guys, We had a TSM server and TSM Storage Agent combination of V5.1.1.0. The TSM client on the AIX server is at V5.1.7.0. This AIX server is running DB2. We have a Windows 2003 TSM server and a 3494 tape library with two Fibre attached 3590 drives. Anyway the OS backup on this server has 120 GB and was backing up in 54 minutes. The DB2 backup on the server had never been configured to run LANFree (don't know why) but backed up 60 GB in 1 hour and 45 minutes over the LAN (10/100 NIC). We upgrade the TSM server to V5.3.3.3 which went without any issues. We then upgraded the TSM storage agent to V5.3.3.0 (they like to not put any patches on this very important AIX DB2 server unless it is absolutly necessary). According to the doc you can use a V5.3.3.0 storage agent with a V5.3.3.3 TSM server without any problems. Now the storage agent backup of the OS runs in 4 hours and 30 minutes. Yes, we are absolutly sure it is still going LANFree. We can see this when we route the q sess command to the storage agent. We also so that the LANFree bytes transferred shows that the whole 120 GB is going LANFree. We did put ENABLELANFREE YES in the dsm.sys that the DB2 agent was in. The DB backup is not completing in 1 hour and 15 minutes. We would like it to be faster but it is faster than when it ran over the LAN so people are happy with it. After this upgrade we gained 30 minutes on the DB2 backup but we lost 3 hours and 30 minutes on the OS backup. The dsm.sys files were setup to use lanfreecommmethod of TCPIP. That was good with V5.1.1.0. However, seeing that the client and storage agent are on the same server I changed the method to SharedMem to see how much of a difference that makes. So after that book, has anyone else experienced a slow down in Storage Agent speed after an upgrade. I've went through many and this is a first for me. Oh, no errors of any kind in any of the logs. - Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr. We'll help. Yahoo! Small Business.
Re: comm/idle/resource timeout values - take 2
Hi Richard, which version of TSM are you running? In some version (6.3 ???) of TSM the SCSI reservation method changed. SO if you mix various levels, you might find yourself in trouble, of if you don't set the SCSI reservation key correctly. Also, there is a bug in TSM 5.5.2 and lower for NDMP where the NAS filer might report SCSI reservation conflicts because TSM doesn't track the NDMP session properly. Also, I've seen SCSI reservation conflicts reported when the server2server communication from (IIRC) the LM to the LC doesn't work. Check if you can route commands in both directions properly...

Re: direct attached disk (DAS) at a tape library?
Mark, No idea about TSM's LANFREE being a limited use copy of Sanergy. My understanding was that the big difference was in the client code so that the meta data goes over the LAN to the TSM server's DB and the actual backup data goes across the SAN directly to the SAN attached tape drive with the TSM server still controlling the tape drive access. I assumed this was just a case of the TSM server telling the client which tape drive to use and then the client sends the data to the SAN attached tape drive in the same manner the TSM server normally sends data to a SAN attached tape drive. When the client completes the back-up, it informs the TSM server and the server knows that the tape drive is now free for other usage. During IBM's presentation on tapeless back-ups they said that if you where going the route of DASD storage using a FILE device class stgpool, you would need the full blown Sanergy application to do a LANFREE back-up. I would assume that this meant at least two copies of Sanergy, one for the TSM server and one for the client. For back-ups I would prefer to use the simplest method which would seem to be TSM's LANFREE technology. I do not want to have to worry about compatible versions between two different products [TSM and Sanergy, not mention the OS(s)] even when both of the products are from IBM. H.

The VTL, TSM server and your client are connected to the SAN so a LANFREE back-up works using TSM's LANFREE technology.

The key is that a VTL is just a conventional fiber connected library with really fast robotics and drives.

Re: DB2 LANFree reconfiguration to use LAN
We just moved some of our LANFree W2K and W2K3 clients from one datacenter to another. The SAN is still in the old datacenter, to LANFree from those clients is currently impossible (without additional hardware). I instructed the move team to stop, and disable the StorageAgent service on those machines that are moving, so the APIs use the default LAN path without changing any .opt files.

Re: LANFREE Backups - Feedback?
Jason, I completely agree with you. The majority of our databases are running on Solaris attached to EMC. But, I think that the percentage of TSM Servers running on Solaris versus running on AIX is a lot more for AIX. I would venture to say that AIX is the preferred operating system for TSM. This, I feel is the limitation. Not the fact that it's Solaris only, but the fact that TSM will not work with TDP for EMC if TSM is running on AIX. It has to be running on Solaris. Regards, Denis L.

Re: lanfree setup client compression
Total data backed up * (100 - Objects compressed by) = Total number of bytes transferred In your case this equation would mean that you have compressed over 1.5 TB with compression ratio over 99.5% (to have TSM report is as 100%) down to reported 7.81 GB. A read rate of 3.25 GB/s (1.5 TB divided by 8 minutes) seems unrealistic so I would guess the compression is indeed 0%. The client had such a bug which was fixed but to find at which versions you will have to dig down the APAR database. Try the same backup with another client version.

Thank you for all of your suggestions! The port was specified wrong and now the storagnt was configured correctly. We are still not getting lanfree to work though. We are getting the message ANS9210W lanfree path failed, so apparently something is still wrong... Is it true that once it fails you have to stop/start the storagnt to try lanfree again? I was also wondering why the data was compressed 100% if I have client compression set to NO? I thought that when you have a drive that does compression for you, you are to specify it to no and it will be done at the drive level?

Re: direct attached disk (DAS) at a tape library?
Milton, Do you realize that the TSM's LANFREE technology you are refering to is in fact Sanergy? TSM just gives you a limited use copy of Sanergy when yuo turn on the LANFREE stuff. That was why I questioned how you were going to do LANFREE without Sanergy. That clears that up. Thanks. Johnson, Milton wrote: A virtual tape library operates and connects just like a physical tape library in a SAN environment. The VTL, TSM server and your client are connected to the SAN so a LANFREE back-up works using TSM's LANFREE technology. Since the topology is conventional you should also be able to add a SAN Data Gateway and do a server free backup. The key is that a VTL is just a conventional fiber connected library with really fast robotics and drives. Yes, you do need to make sure that the VTL plays nice with TSM, so make sure your choice in VTL is TSM certified. H.

Re: TDPO/LanFree setup questions
Hi, You can find in the Data Protection for Oracle for UNIX and Linux Installation and User's Guide (SC32-9064-02): - Please note that the Tivoli Storage Manager client user options file (dsm.opt by default) you must edit for Data Protection for Oracle is located in the directory specified by the dsmi_orc_config option. If this option is not specified, Data Protection for Oracle looks for this options file in the Data Protection for Oracle installation directory. - include Add an include statement to the dsm.sys file (used by the Oracle node) when a management class (other than the default management class) is defined within an existing policy domain. This include statement binds the Oracle backup objects to the management class that is defined for managing these objects. The include statement uses the following naming convention: /FilespaceName//ObjectName The FORMAT parameter in the RMAN script can also be used to assist with object naming. For example, if the FORMAT parameters (in the RMAN script) specified the following values for databases and logs: format 'DB_%u_%p_%c' format 'LOG_%u_%p_%c' The include statement in the dsm.sys file (used by the Oracle node) would be as follows: INCLUDE /adsmorc/.../DB* mgmtclassnameforDBs INCLUDE /adsmorc/.../LOG* mgmtclassnameforLogs Regards, Pierre Cayé -Message d'origine- De : ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Richard Rhodes Envoyé : lundi 5 novembre 2007 20:49 À : ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Objet : [ADSM-L] TDPO/LanFree setup questions Hi Everyone, We're struggling on how to setup TDPO and LanFree. Not the mechanics on making it work, but on the best way to use it. We would like to do the following: 1) Oracle DB backups go LanFree straight to tape. 2) Archive logs go LAN to a disk pool, then migrated to tape. 3) Archive logs also go immediately sent to a offsite TSM instance (disk pool) (lan). If we set it up for lan to the disk pool, and then use the filesize option to write big db files straight to tape, they still go LAN. . . not LanFree. I read that TDPO/LanFree will honor incl/excl options with different management classes. This sounds good, but all the data is coming from RMAN/TDPO. I don't know what I would use for a incl/excl for the archive logs. Also, we would like to get an immediate offsite copy of archive logs. Again, we would like this offsite copy be to a disk pool so as not to wait for tape mounts and drive contention. We found a way to do this via a second archive log destination with a completely separate rman setup to a offsite TSM server. There didn't seem to be a way in RMAN to send a archive log to multiple destinations, and then delete the archive log. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Storage Agent Upgrade on AIX caused LANFree to slow way down
Curious that I'm replying to my own post but using the LANFREECOMMMETHOD of SharedMem the 120 GB of OS data just backed up in 57 minutes. The 60 GB of DB2 data backed up in 54 minutes. So looks like the V5.3.3.0 storage agent is more affected by the use of SharedMem over TCPIP. Or, something else changed around the time of the upgrade to break the usage of TCP/IP for the LANFREE backup. I'd still be interested to know if anyone else has seen this behavior. TSM_User [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Guys, We had a TSM server and TSM Storage Agent combination of V5.1.1.0. The TSM client on the AIX server is at V5.1.7.0. This AIX server is running DB2. We have a Windows 2003 TSM server and a 3494 tape library with two Fibre attached 3590 drives. Anyway the OS backup on this server has 120 GB and was backing up in 54 minutes. The DB2 backup on the server had never been configured to run LANFree (don't know why) but backed up 60 GB in 1 hour and 45 minutes over the LAN (10/100 NIC). We upgrade the TSM server to V5.3.3.3 which went without any issues. We then upgraded the TSM storage agent to V5.3.3.0 (they like to not put any patches on this very important AIX DB2 server unless it is absolutly necessary). According to the doc you can use a V5.3.3.0 storage agent with a V5.3.3.3 TSM server without any problems. Now the storage agent backup of the OS runs in 4 hours and 30 minutes. Yes, we are absolutly sure it is still going LANFree. We can see this when we route the q sess command to the storage agent. We also so that the LANFree bytes transferred shows that the whole 120 GB is going LANFree. We did put ENABLELANFREE YES in the dsm.sys that the DB2 agent was in. The DB backup is not completing in 1 hour and 15 minutes. We would like it to be faster but it is faster than when it ran over the LAN so people are happy with it. After this upgrade we gained 30 minutes on the DB2 backup but we lost 3 hours and 30 minutes on the OS backup. The dsm.sys files were setup to use lanfreecommmethod of TCPIP. That was good with V5.1.1.0. However, seeing that the client and storage agent are on the same server I changed the method to SharedMem to see how much of a difference that makes. So after that book, has anyone else experienced a slow down in Storage Agent speed after an upgrade. I've went through many and this is a first for me.

Re: LANFREE Backups - Feedback?
If a customer wants to buy AIX box or ESS most of the times he/she will prefer to get the other instead of going into multi-vendor implementation. If Sun allow customers to get ESS attached to their boxes too often they may also loose box sales. For this reasons AIX/ESS and Sun/EMC are usually bundled together. AIX/EMC or Sun/ESS are much more rarely used. I've not seen any market research what is the percentage of AIX/ESS vs. Sun/ESS or Sun/EMC vs. Sun/ESS but would expect it can be 8:1 or similar. It was already pointed in this thread that sales of TDP for EMC/Sun or TDP for ESS/AIX are not so high. And we cannot expect efforts to be wasted on less prospective area.

Re: FW: Re: Urgent!! Restoring SQL metadata and data using LANFREE
Marc, This could be a bug. It's hard to tell without looking more closely at the configuration. The Storage Agent should be going after the data over the LAN. Please call IBM support so they can assist you. Thanks, Del Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Never cut what can be untied. - Commit yourself to constant improvement. === Hi Del The specific error we are getting is as follows: 11/19/2002 12:56:50 ANR1421W (Session: 3523, Origin: DWHSTAGE) Read access denied for volume E:\TSMDATA\SERVER1\MSSQLMETA.DSM - volume offline. This volume is not offline. Also If i disable the LANFREE then I can retrieve the metadata from the diskpool. It almost seems that although the management class controls the backup process, the restore has no way of knowing that it should requestthe metadat across the LAN, when it is getting the actual DATA from the tapes on the SAN.
Re: SAN LANfree backup licensing requirements
My understanding was that SANergy was part of Tivoli for SAN, and comes with a client that is installed on each SAN client. If you do not have library sharing, then you should not have to purchase a shared library license. However, if you have 4 or more drives, you are required to have the 5.1 extended edition. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/07/03 08:55AM Hi All, I am having problems getting answers to exactly what licensing is required for the TSM Server in order to do LANfree backups of data in an HDS 9960. So far, I have the Managed System for SAN client licenses that are needed, but is there also a TSM Server license needed? Does the Shared Library license need to be purchased? If so, do we need one for each SAN client?

Re: TSM library master on seperate instance in master/client configuration ??
I'd suggest that you do this. This is what we do here (we have 5 full servers and one shared library server with no nodes defined on it). I think this might even be a recommendation. I recall hearing this at a SHARE presentation years ago, and it works very well for us. It's not necessary to run the 2 full servers on separate hardware, unless you need the server resources.

I can see the library and drives in the storage agent console, including the WWNs, serial numbers, etc. The devices will show up in device manager, but will not start. The 'validate lanfree' and 'q san' commands show things to be in order. Is this a device driver issue, or what? God bless you!!!

We have a Windows 2003 TSM server and a 3494 tape library with two Fibre attached 3590 drives. Anyway the OS backup on this server has 120 GB and was backing up in 54 minutes. The DB2 backup on the server had never been configured to run LANFree (don't know why) but backed up 60 GB in 1 hour and 45 minutes over the LAN (10/100 NIC). We upgrade the TSM server to V5.3.3.3 which went without any issues. We then upgraded the TSM storage agent to V5.3.3.0 (they like to not put any patches on this very important AIX DB2 server unless it is absolutly necessary). According to the doc you can use a V5.3.3.0 storage agent with a V5.3.3.3 TSM server without any problems. Now the storage agent backup of the OS runs in 4 hours and 30 minutes. Yes, we are absolutly sure it is still going LANFree. We can see this when we route the q sess command to the storage agent. We also so that the LANFree bytes transferred shows that the whole 120 GB is going LANFree. We did put ENABLELANFREE YES in the dsm.sys that the DB2 agent was in. The DB backup is not completing in 1 hour and 15 minutes. We would like it to be faster but it is faster than when it ran over the LAN so people are happy with it. After this upgrade we gained 30 minutes on the DB2 backup but we lost 3 hours and 30 minutes on the OS backup. The dsm.sys files were setup to use lanfreecommmethod of TCPIP. That was good with V5.1.1.0. However, seeing that the client and storage agent are on the same server I changed the method to SharedMem to see how much of a difference that makes. So after that book, has anyone else experienced a slow down in Storage Agent speed after an upgrade. I've went through many and this is a first for me.

Re: updating from to 5.1 (Problems?), LANFREE?
furthermore we will get a new data warehouse machine on friday. Including FastT via FibreChannel. The TSM-Library is a 3584 Ultrium LTO Fibrechannel. I would like to backup the data warehouse directly via FC to tape, probably sending only the TSM-DB-Info to the TSM-Server. (almost LANFree!?). Any suggestions? If your warehousing client/OS has a supported TDP/Agent then you can backup via Lan Free. Marketing reference: http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/san/lanfree.html I would check if the data goes directly to tape as Tivoli didn't have code for direct SCSI copy (3rd party SCSI), in the past. The data path would go to the TSM server then to the tape device (effectively like a FC in-band backup). I've read a user guide recently that points to direct device name registration, so it may implemented. Cheers, Suad --

hi all, is there any (any) way to monitor backup speed via rman/tdpo/lanfree method ... i'm really puzzled here considering normal file level backups/transfers are really transparent and stuff all i see on storage agent is q ses which tells me how many gigs are transferred in current session, which is kind of stupid coz' i know it will end at 130GiB because of estimated backup set size ... in rman backup log i can see time in which one backup set was backed up but i was thinking on realtime monitoring , not event on host level via motoring fc ports ... or maybe on brocades/switches ? ah. the usual scripts of course don't work on STA ... and so on... thanks in advance, i would really like to know how all of you are doing it client hpux 11.23 sta hpux 11.23 tsm 5.4.1 tdpo 5.4.1 rman 10.2.3 lto3 - 6 drives -- Fran Lebowitz - You're only has good as your last haircut.
Re: LAN-free requirements
You might want to take a look at the TSM Admin Guide first to make sure you understand the concepts here: http://tinyurl.com/opoeqn LANfree backups are still host-driven, whereby a client sends data directly to a tape drive over the SAN rather than to the TSM Server via the LAN. You'll need one installation of the TSM SAN Storage Agent software per client from which you'll be performing LANfree backups.

Re: LAN-free backup in a logical partition
Hi, this link can be useful. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0uid=swg21239546 In many cases people are using VIO server, if this is your case you will need to add hbas dedicates only for LPAR lanfree Backup. With NPIV the HBA presents multiple unique WWNs to the OS, this is a solution to share the Hba among Lpars. Then LPars can be TSM Servers or LanFree Clients. In my opinion, if you need high performance backup you will need to add a number of hbas depending on the performance you needed. It is possible to share disc a tape traffic in the same hba. The problem is you don't get the ,more optimal performance, for not production environment it is cheaper.

Re: TSM for VE installation on TSM server
Not recommend as it uses different versions of the same components (baclient, etc.), and updating TSMVE may break the TSM server itself. In my case, DBBackup were broken after VE update due version mismatch. It is much safer to run VE in a separate virtual machine. Or physical, because you need a LANfree backup. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager On Behalf Of Martin Panggabean Sent: Thursday, March 4, 2021 10:53 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM for VE installation on TSM server Hi everyone, I have no idea if anyone here has ever tried running TSM for VE on the TSM server.

Jason, I completely agree with you. The majority of our databases are running on Solaris attached to EMC. But, I think that the percentage of TSM Servers running on Solaris versus running on AIX is a lot more for AIX. I would venture to say that AIX is the preferred operating system for TSM. This, I feel is the limitation. Not the fact that it's Solaris only, but the fact that TSM will not work with TDP for EMC if TSM is running on AIX. It has to be running on Solaris. Regards, Denis L.

Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] T.EDU 03/05/2002 10:18 AM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager Yes I believe when Tivoli looked at the development of the Timefinder function they looked at the market first. It was concluded that an EMC/Sun solution represented the larger market share of what customer have installed. ie there are more EMC/Sun installed sites than there are EMC/Aix sites.Mainly because Aix sites tend to be IBM disk solutions. Therefore if you wnat to sell a product, develop for the majority first. If people like it and want it so make some more ! Vendors do make software for there own products, so hopefully I see you purchasing lots of ESS soon then !! There's little point in doing costly developing for a product that no one wants. Yes the TDP for EMC has a VERY limited scole for configuration, and no RS/6000 isn't in there I believe. Specific products like this tend to be demand driven. From what I understand the current TDP/EMC saw a very limited uptake by customers. There has also been little demand to expand is platform coverage in this space. The TDP for EMC was also on the market before the TDP for ESS/Flashcopy. Thinking back I believe that is because EMC had the timefinder on the market before IBM/ESS and flashcopy. It was a while after before Tivoli got it's hands on working Flashcopy to do any sort of development, and these thing take time. Back to the original point LAN-Free with TSM works backup and restore apart from the above, and I'm running a 2 day workshop in the UK next week to show it working and give hands on to those who want to know more.

What database are you backing up? Currently the TDP agents work with the LANFree option. We tried getting the BMC for SQL agent working over LANFree and found out that the current release of the product is not capable LANFree.

TSM - HACMP - EDT Configuration
I hope I have provided enough detail to describe my problem. I did assume the reader has fairly detailed knowledge of HACMP and EDT. Hardware/Software Environment: 2 IBM p690s AIX 5.1 with ML03 HACMP 4.4.1 TSM 5.1.something(TBD) (on another machine) TSM Storage Agent TDP EDT 6.4.1 (Gresham Software) SAN 2 McData 6064 switches 6 McData ES-1000 switches 1 STK Silo (9310) 6 STK 9980 Tape Drives 1 HDS 9980 (using Sanergy would solve this problem but I would like the option of using tapes Lanfree) Various other software Legend: hnodeX == HACMP Node X (same as machine for this discussion) hresX == HACMP Resource X HACMP Configuration (simplified but hopefully adequate to describe problem): 1 Concurrent Resource (hres3) running Oracle 9.2/RAC. 1 Cascading Resource (hres1) normally on hnode1. Can fail over to hnode2 using IPAT. 1 Cascading Resource (hres2) normally on hnode2. Can fail over to hnode1 using IPAT. In summary: each machine can be running one, two or all three HACMP resources. Each cascading resource has a set of disks which moves with the resource and therefore must be backed up from either machine. The concurrent resource has raw devices accessible to both machines which do not move. Using TDP, they can be backed up from either machine. Each hnodeX has data (e.g., rootvg and JFS type data belonging to the concurrent resource) which stays with the machine and must be backed up. Problem: How do I define TSM/EDT? (We currently use EDT to allow us to do Lanfree so we know the basics.) I need to be able to move hres1 and hres2 between hnodes without worrying about tapes being dismounted. We currently set CLIENTID to hostname. I do not believe that would work in this environment because 1) hres1 has tape(s) mounted using LANFREE 2) hres3 has tape(s) mounted using LANFREE 3) hres1 fails over from hnode1 to hnode2 for some reason 4) the tape(s) being used by hres1 would not be dismounted I then thought of using hresX as the CLIENTID. I thought of separate TSM Storage Agents for each hresX (possible?). I thought of separate stgpools for each hresX pointing to separate libraries so I could use hresX as the EDT CLIENTID (not very appealing! but I think it would work). Any help in this matter would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Issue with TDP and FS backup
Dear all, I've been experiencing backup problems. Well just after we upgrade from TSM 5.2 to 5.3.2, the client backups go hay-wire. Client at 5.3.4 with NO LanFree. TDP Version 5.3.3 on AIX 5.3.4 CSP. In the LPAR, if TDP backup is good then the FS scheduler will die off and vice versa. I've tried on the password authentication part as advise by Tivoli Support but it couldn't solve the problem. There's no problem on the other node with such upgrade and I've compare all the configuration files (.opt and .sys) with the successful node , everything seems in place. Any idea?

Something odd seems to be going on in the software for the two separate sessions on the same data to yield disparate results. Richard Sims
Re: restore inactive files
Hi. I am trying to get a Storage Agent to work on an AIX 5.3 LPAR to perform LANFREE backups The Agent is up and running, my clients on that node can connect and see the TSM Server. My backups connect and start to run, but I get the message that the HBAAPI cannot be found or loaded. I have found the files and the etc/hba.conf file exists. How does one install this HBA software and can anyone provide some direction based on their experiences? Thanks in advance Adrian Compton
lanfree / storage agent idea or whateva :-)

binding WWN and SCSI on NT with QLOGIC
Greetings, Is there a way to permanently bind a WWN address to a SCIS ID in w2K with a QLOGIC QLA2200. If so, what is the utility available and the driver version necessary for this. We are currently using driver version 8.1.5.60 on a QLA2200 and W2K. There seems to be a problem whenever the SAN glitches, the drive attribution on NT changes from the original setting, therefore our drivemapping on TSM is no longer valid in our lanfree environment. sincerely, Jason Livie e-Business Process/Storage Team - Service Delivery IBM Global Services - La Gaude Tél.: 04 9211 5943 - email : [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2002 00:28:49 +0300 Chris, I try to explain to my customers in the following order: 1. Normal behavior (LAN) is in three steps - Node storage - TSM Client - TSM Server - Tape 2. LAN-free transfer reduces them to two steps eliminating one by combining last two in one - Node storage - TSM Client/Storage agent - Tape (last step requires SAN-shared tape) 3. server-free eliminates one more step, skipping both TSM server (as in LAN-free) and TSM client (new add-on) - Node storage - SAN-tape The last single-step is accomplished using SAN data mover, i.e. device on SAN capable to perform data transfer between a disk (Node storage) and tape (TSM server storage) without any host involvement (neither server nor client). Currently supported data movers are IBM SAN Data Gateway (2108-G07 and same module in IBM 3583) and Pathlight 5000. Hope this helps to you to understand.

Re: Lanfree with AIX and W2k
MAXSGLIST should be no less than 65 (0x41) but you can up it to the top (I cannot recall right now was it 254 or 255). Also do not forget to increase the max_xfer_size parameter of 6228 HBA (fcs0, default is 0x10 and it is recommended in the guides to be increased to 0x100). Use chdev or smitty. Details can be found in redbook Using Tivoli Storage Manager in a SAN Environment (SG24-6132-00). You actual problem is that sizes do not match and one of them is too small (I guess the S/G list of Win STA). The resolution might be just increase of Windows MAXSG to get it work. Later adjustment of AIX FC HBA setting would bring also performance.

Does LANFREE work on VMware
Hello All, Thanks for your help!! I have a client with 3 Exchange serves w/2.5TB of mail, running the TDP and they are using LAN-FREE. They want to vitrualize the three servers onto a new VMware farm. Will they be able to still use the LAN-FREE on the VM? I saw on the Info Center that a guest is not supported directly for LAN-FREE but that there was a way to do it using VCB. I can't find any good info. Does anyone have experience with this configuration? Any help or info would be appreciated! Regards, Nicholas
Re: SANergy
ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU wrote on 05/26/2009 03:17:26 PM: If I understand SANergy correctly it's a way to back up data in a SAN environment to disk pool I believe that's a pool of type FILE. on a SAN by keeping it off the regular network. If that is a correct assumption it is why I asked for responses to my statement about comparisons to a segregated network instead. So your question (in different words) is how to keep the backup traffic off the regular network. You see 2 options: 1) a separate backup network, or 2) lanfree over the SAN. Lanfree then comes in 2 flavors of to tape (lanfree to tape) and to file volumes (lanfree via sanergy). Is this right? Rick If moving the backups to a segregated backup network would be just as fast then it seems to make sense it would be a simpler environment. LAN Free direct to tape doesn't seem to me is going to produce the same results since from what I understand you would be more limited by the number of tape drives available to the, lets say 200 nodes backing up. I'm really looking for info and recommendations since I have no problems yet. If I'm going to be able to put up a system in a new environment what would be advisable given I'm probably not going to get to purchase direct attached storage, as in a DS4800, or new tape drives, but I should be able to get SAN attached disk storage instead. Of course I would prefer to stick with AIX and keep things simple.

TSM for VE I/O performance
Hi, In this newly-setup TSM for VE 6.3 environment all building blocks (vCenter, data mover, ESX hosts, VM guests and TSM server) have Gigabit Ethernet explicitly set to 1000 full duplex. But VM full backup or restore operations from vCenter plug-in send data up to 100Mbs. LANfree has not been configured on the data mover node, so TCP/IP performance is important in this phase. - TSM server is v6.2 on AIX 6.1 - All other operating systems are Windows 2008 R2 Any comment will be appreciated.

LANfree to multiple tape drives concurrently
Hi, Can a TSM client (BA or TDP) be configured to use multiple tape drives concurrently? A filesystem with tens of Terabytes of incremental data should be backed up which evidently takes lots of hours with a single LTO4 drive. Say there are enough ports/paths/ISLs available to support at least two parallel backup sessions from the client to the library. The source disk's read performance is approximately twice the write performance of a tape drive. Thank you

TSM for VE installation on TSM server
Hi everyone, I have no idea if anyone here has ever tried running TSM for VE on the TSM server. To make it short, I was asked by a customer to move their vBackup Storage that is now running on a separate physical server than TSM Server (physical).

Re: LANFREE Backups - Feedback?
Also, as an fyi... Tivoli also informed us that TDP for oracle on EMC is not supported when TSM is running on an AIX RS/6000.. Kinda funny huh? It's actually only supported for Oracle databases running on a Solaris system and TSM ALSO must be running on Solaris. Don't vendors usually make things work for their products first then make it compatible with other systems? I think IBM/Tivoli forgot to get together on this one. And, from what I understand, which may not be accurate... The TDP for EMC Oracle is used only for backing up a BCV (Business Continuity Volume - like a ESS flash copy). So, to use the TDP you can do online backups of a copied volume... h... no thanks. Regards, Denis L.
