Re: Co-location
At 3:53 PM -0400 10/21/02, Thach, Kevin said: The person that installed our environment basically set up 6 Policy Domains: Colodom, Exchange, Lanfree, MSSQL, Nocodom, and Oracle. 99% of the clients are in the Nocodom (non-collocated) domain, which has one policy set, and one management class which has one backup copy group with retention policies set to NOLIMIT, 3, 60, 60. This is away from the topic of Kevin's question, but his background info led to a question that we're looking at right now. We currently have one big disk pool for all our backups, which migrates to one tape pool, which we copy to another tape pool for offsite. We turned on co-location on the onsite tape pool a couple of weeks ago, because we just started using the SQL TDP, and the doc recommended colocation. We turned it back off this morning, because we were running out of tapes and had a lot of them that were only 5% full. We would like to do what Kevin says he's doing: specify colocation for a small number of our clients and leave it off for a bunch of them. But, if I understand correctly, colocation isn't specified directly in the management class. It's specified on the tape storage pool definition. So specifying colocation for some clients but not all would require multiple tape storage pools, which wouldn't really be a problem. But it looks like that would also require multiple disk storage pools, because, as far as I can tell, the only way to get a client into a different tape pool is to have it in a different disk pool. We'd really like to avoid carving up our disk space into more smaller pools. But, as far as I can tell, that's the only way to use colocation selectively. Am I missing something, or is that the way it works? -- Matt Simpson -- OS/390 Support 219 McVey Hall -- (859) 257-2900 x300 University Of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506 mailto:msimpson;uky.edu mainframe -- An obsolete device still used by thousands of obsolete companies serving billions of obsolete customers and making huge obsolete profits for their obsolete shareholders.

Re: backups direct to tape
The big gotcha here is that you cannot use the simultaneous write feature if the backup is going lanfree.

The cool thing about TSM is it will usually do what you think it will do. If a tape error occurs, the current transaction (whatever it happens to be) will fail. What that means will vary. In the case of a client/agent backup, a write error on a tape will cause TSM to mount another tape and restart the failed transaction. Data integrity is the hallmark of the product. Direct to tape backups are actually cool. In fact, you can write two tapes simultaneously: the onlinepool and the drpool volumes. This avoids having to migrate data from disk to tape and having to back that data up. In the case of a 500GB database that will reduce the amount of data flowing through your server from 1.5TB to 500GB. Huge savings. And the write to two tapes happens at the same speed as to one.

Hello Stefan, you are watching a single volume in the storagepool but reclamation works on the hole storgepool.

Re: Collocation Groups Reclamation and Restore
Francisco Molero writes: [...] I have some questions about Collocation Groups Reclamation and restore. First, my environment I have a Tape STGpool with 3 Collocation Groups and 10 nodes per Group. 1.- When one volume is reclaimed in this pool. How TSM does the reclamation? moving files from one node from Volume to Scratch one or TSM moves all nodes in the CG at the same time without distinction ? I've always understood the activity log message ANR1176I Moving data for collocation set m of n ... to relate to the number of passes done over the source tape. I have not seen these numbers grow since we introduced group collocation on a rather large scale ... 2.- When TSM restores files from these tapes. Does it restore all files in a sequential way ?. I mean TSM is reading the tape from the beginning and if it finds files to belong to this TSM Client from different directories it restores independently of the directory which this files belong or TSM server prepares a list of file and it is looking one per one in the tape... or Which is the procedure ? (Nothing to do with collocation groups, IMHO) TSM first prepares a list of tapes, then processes each tape once (and of course, sequentially). Same with EXPORT NODE, MOVE NODEDATA, etc. 3.- In case of migration, if we don't have CG TSM migrates files per node. What happens if we have CG ? Once a tape has been mounted for a collocation group's data, all nodes in that group are migrated. At least when the source pool is of type DISK, I'd guess that files will still be ordered by filespace and node, just like they are by filespace in the case of collocation by node. 4.- In case we have a lanfree backup with 4 parallel sessions , is CG suitable for this TSM Clients ? 5.- Last question, in order to restore the client node. Are there differences between these procedure and multiplexing competitors ones ? ... [...] Can't contribute to these two questions. Best regards, Wolfgang J.

Just a thought, Nick On Jun 3, 2010, at 11:03 PM, Fred Johanson wrote: About 6 weeks ago, our hardware guy upgraded the code on the TS3500 and ATape to the latest levels and made some hardware upgrades (details on request). Within days we began to have assorted tape mount problems. Supports initial response was to upgrade the TSM level to 5.5.4.2 to avoid a known problem with SANDISCOVERY. So we upgrade to the latest V5R5 level, but we still see problems. So we turn off SANDISCOVERY, and things get quiet; the telltale AIX message RESERVATION CONFLICT. Support asks us to turn on SANDISCOVERY on various Library clients, with no effect until last Friday, when the Library Manager goes crazy. So turn off SANDISCOVERY on the LM and all goes quiet. Yesterday the CE upgraded the TS3500 to the very latest, and within minutes the Library begins refusing to mount tapes, with total disregard to the presence or absence of SANDISCOVERY and potentially disastrous effect on LANFREE backups. As I see it, from my TSM seat, the common thread here is the AIX message of Reservation Conflict, which points to the hardware changes made. So after hours of looking at logs and mount messages and traces, which has left me groggy, the question is Is anyone out there seen any difficulty with the software combination of latest version of AIX 5, TSM 5.5, and the TS3500. Jeremiah, that's me, has been saying for weeks that the problem lies somewhere in the combination of hba, switch, port, and whatever, but management always blames TSM. Pardon my incoherence, but I've been reading logs, etc., for the lastin 15 hours.

Re: Volume unavailable.
Hi Alex, Check whether the volume is available in the Tape library list? If you try to restore data from volume which is not physically available in the tape library, system will mark it as unavailable. You need to get the tape from offsite, load it to your tape library and change the status as read-write and then carry out any restore option.

Re: LTO5 performance
Thanks Charles. Yes, these are issues to consider. I was really just looking to see what other people were getting. HBA's are dedicated 4/ HBA on 8 Gbit cards. I have a feeling it is a device driver issue, or an issue with the IO cards in the Quantum. Since they are HP drives, I have to use the TSM device driver, and not Atape. Just checking to see if anyone else has experienced LTO5 not living up to published speeds. Also, I can read off the disk subsystem at 1000+ MB/s, so I'm confident that the system is able to push data fast enough. I am getting proportional speed increases with number of drives. IE 2 drives gives 100 MB/s and 8 gives 400 MB/s over 1-2 hours. Thanks all.

Re: Ang: Re: [ADSM-L] vtl versus file systems for pirmary pool
When I looked into this subject I found that lanfree supports: - vtl - physical tape - file devices on GPFS (a san filesystem) - file devices via Sanergy (nfs but with data being sent over fibre channel) - I found a specific comment that straight NFS for sharing File devices is not supported by IBM (doesn't mean it doesn't work) From what I could figure out, Sanergy works below the NFS protocol. Sanergy slips in below the NFS protocol and routs NFS data blocks across a fibre channel connection.

Re: move DRM error
Hi, Andy. Check out IC78973. I suspect IBM docs are broken, so here's a google cache URL. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:vKLU4pfNc_cJ:www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss%3Fuid%3Dswg1IC78973+anr8409e It is apparently fixed in 6.2.4.0. Workaround is to move drm and specify individual volumes until there are fewer than 42 volumes left to move.

Re: Redundant Tape SAN
I personally think it's worth the effort, not so much for the fail-over but for the fact the Atape driver will do some HBA load balancing for you to maximize performance across less utilized HBA ports. We do have a few ProtecTier's in the mix and also a Windows 2008R2 based LAN Free server, the LF server actually utilizes some of this redundancy as well and the IBM Tape driver load balancing as well. For the VTL based devices what we typically do is rename the rmt entries in AIX based on their serial number since they've typically been just different drives behind the same front end WWPN's. We're running 60 physical LTO5's and 128 emulated LTO3 devices from the PT for comparisons sake. With some scripts work wise it isn't too much more effort. - Original Message - Is it worth the work? Are there any VTLs involved? I may be doing 4 TSM servers to 18x 3952's, 8x LTO6 shared drives and 120x LTO1's for each server non-shared in multiple DataDomains. I also have LANFree clients that do not support redundant fabrics.

Re: DB2/Oracle backup reporting and scheduling
Our Oracle backups have three scenarios. 1) Home grown scripts are scheduled via cron on the Oracle server, copy/compress the db to local disk, then pushed the db backup to TSM via a dsmc backup of the backup disk area. 2) RMAN backups are scheduled via cron which push data to TSM via LanFree/SAN or Network. 3) Some RMAN backups run via cron and write direct to DataDomain via NFS. (no TSM involvement) Note - archive logs are pushed to TSM via scripts and run around the clock. Rick -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Rick Adamson Sent: Friday, March 06, 2015 12:12 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: DB2/Oracle backup reporting and scheduling I assume someone has dealt with this I would like to hear how they handled it. The issue: DB2 and/or Oracle database backups that are dependent on completion of external processes. Currently our DBA's utilize a variety of methods to initiate DB2 and Oracle database backups (CRON, external schedulers, etc) which presents challenges to confirm that they are being completed as expected. As a start, I proposed creating a client schedule and using the TSM scheduler to trigger these events, which would minimally provide a completed/missed/failed status. Complemented by routine reporting of stored objects it would give me some assurance that TSM had what it needed to assure their recovery. The DBA's are pushing back (surprise!) claiming that some backups have special requirements, such as not running during other tasks like payroll processing, runstats, etc. so they use the external scheduler to set conditions that are met before the backup is initiated. The question proposed to me is can a TSM schedule be triggered by the external scheduler once the conditions have been met? I would be grateful to hear how others handle this, or if they use a different approach altogether to assure all DP database backups are completing on a timely basis.

Re: the purpose of file device class
Hi! Before they were taken over by EMC, some guys from DataDomain were visiting us a few months ago. They presented their DD boxes, which offer hardware based dedup, compression and defragmentation. They told us about customers who allocate a DISK (not FILE!) storage pool in a DD box and just leave the data there in one huge diskpool. Because the box does his own backend fragmentation, the front-end fragmentation is just virtual and thus does not impact TSM performance. It does sound too good to be true. No migration, no reclamation, no dedup on you server, only backup stgpool! Or write to two primary pools simultaneously, so you don't need to do the copy storagepool either Well, since the product is now owned and supported by EMC, I'm a little bit hesitant...

Re: lanfree / storage agent idea or whateva :-)
On the TSM-server you define the paths of system A, the storage-agent system. System B will then make will send the backup-data via the LAN to the storage-agent on system A. (as specified with LANFREETCPServeraddress) From system A the data will be sent over the SAN to a tapedrive. This mechanism with a remote storage-agent is nice when you have a fast internal/virtual network, like in the IBM's P570's. You only need 1 system with an HBA to tape while the other lpars in the system use the internal network to sent the data to the system with the HBA. I played with it and got a reasonable performance on a P570, when using a virtual internal network with an high MTU size.

We are running AIX 4.3.3 and have recently moved from ADSM 3.xx to TSM 4.2. Attached is a IBM 3583 Ultrium tape robot. The 3583 is working fine and I can do backups. For my database backups I used the internal 4 mm tape station in ADSM and thought I'd continue doing that in TSM (or is it better to use the 3583 LTO robot?). I have defined a device class for the 4mm and a Manual library and drive. How ever when I try to make a DB backup I get the error below, insufficient mount points. This worked fine in ADSM before on the same Unix box. I cant figure out why. The 4 mm was installed and defined before the TSM server was installed. Do I need to remove the device defenition in AIX and redefine it? Or is it simply an error in my setup? Anyone have any ideas? Below is my config.

Re: Gigabit Ethernet speed
My point here was yes, if you have the CPU on the machines to do it. If you are talking about between a single client and TSM Server, this really only applies to TDP backups that allow multiple node definitions for the threads. This is a long complex discussion. The more common usage is to have multiple gigabit cards in the TSM server and split the clients among the TSM server IP addresses for the gigabit cards. Paul D.

The Damaged status is troubling, though. We haven't heard from any 5.3 users of such a problem, and I don't see any current, closed APARs with such problem indications, so the cause is unclear. Your open call to IBM may find the reason. A slim cause that might have some bearing may be a downlevel device driver involved in tape drive access, which may be erroneously causing good volumes to look bad. A search back in your Activity Log may turn up the instance where the volume came to be this way, with maybe some clue as to what incited it. Beyond that, IBM will have to advise.

Re: Poor performance with TSM Storage Agent on Solaris
Have you run a client performance trace? This may give you an idea about where the client is spending it's time. What type of disk is the data stored on that you want to back-up from/restore to? Are these the same type of disks where you see 60MB/sec? (How many parallel sessions do you run to get 60MB/sec?) I also have problems getting good backup rates on LAN-Free and my investigations are leading me to believe that the bottle-neck is the client disk. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Hendén Sent: Wednesday 23 February 2005 17:43 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Poor performance with TSM Storage Agent on Solaris Dear all, We are experiencing performance problems with the TSM Storage Agent for Solaris. This is regardless of if we are doing restores or backups. The problem manifests itself mainly when restoring or backing data with DB2, but I get the same poor performance when sending gig sized files from the file system. Performance seems to be CPU bound, and each restore/backup session takes 100% of one CPU. So, on a 400mHz machine I can get around 10-15mb/s lanfree and on the faster machines with 1200mHz CPUs we're seeing speeds of around 20mb/s. When specifying parallelism in the DB2 databases to use multiple sessions we get 2 * 10-15mb/s and also 2 CPUs using 100%. Truss says that almost all of this CPU time is spent in userland. The native speed of the 9840C drives is 35mb/s and on AIX machines and Slowlaris machines with Oracle we see speeds of about 60mb/s per session over the SAN. At first I thought it could be the loopback interface but I didnt see any performance gain when switching to shared memory. I have also tried all the performance recommendations by IBM. I am going to trace the storage agent tomorrow to see if I can shed some light on what all the CPU time is spent on. On to my questions: Has anyone experienced the same extreme CPU load when using the storage agent on Solaris? Could it possibly be a patch related problem since the Solaris Oracle machines are more heavily patched than the DB2 ditos? The environment: Serverside: TSM server 5.2.3.2 on AIX 5.2. 16 StorageTek 9840C tape drives in powderhorn libraries using ACSLS. Everything is SAN connected with Cisco directors.

Re: Exchange question - for future reference
With Exchange 2003 I can't remember if it is up to 4 storage groups per server with 5 databases each or if its the other way around. Anyway, while I don't condone using 1 TB pluse storage groups. Groups much larger than 200 GB are going to exist out there. I would just add that using LANFree backup you can achieve some pretty fast backup speeds as well. We backed up a 500 GB SQL database in a few hours. Of course actual milage may vary. A question for Del: Will the TDP for Exchange ever have a striping feature like the TDP for SQL or is that a Microsoft limitation with Exchange -vs- SQL. Kyle Stapleton, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of fred johanson The guys next door are rolling out our pilot project Exchange server. Right now they're comfortable with the TDP and its capabilities. For the near future, differential backups with an occasional full backup to truncate the Exchange log will suffice. But they wonder what happens when they move from a few dozens users to hundreds or thousands, and the data\0001\Public Folder Store approaches the Tb range or larger. Will there be enough hours in the day to do a full backup? If not, how does the log get truncated? They're already asking about Flashcopy and NAS and large images. All answers are appreciated. A strong word of encouragement: Do not let your Exchange environment evolve into one store running in the TB range. Break up your storage groups into several smaller storage groups, or (better yet) use multiple Exchange servers. This not only makes sense, but it's also the Microsoft recommendation. As an example, let's use 3 hours as a maximum for reasonable full backups. Assuming you can get 5MB/sec on backups (actually a little slow for a 100Mb network): 3 hours = 10800 seconds x 5MB/sec = 54GB for a 3 hour backup These are conservative stats. The customer I'm adminning TSM for right now got one of last night's information store backups (of 82.8GB) in 8440 seconds--almost 10MB/sec--on a 10/100 network. Further: I would not bother with differential backups. One full backup per day, with perhaps an incremental backup 12 hours after the full, would guarantee a maximum of 12 hours of data loss in the event of a catastrophe and subsequent restore. (Of course, you could do a daily full, and incrementals at 8 and 16 hours after the backup, for even greater minimization of data loss.) -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Office 262.521.5627 - Do you Yahoo!?

This node has exceeded its maximum number of mount points. (SESSION: 190377) The backup continued on the first channel and succeeded. I have search long and hard, but I can not figure out how TSM figured the node had exceeded it's setting of 2 mount points. Is there some other mount point limit somewhere other than in the node definition? tsm server v5.4.1 tdpo v5.4.1.0 Storageagent v5.4.1.0 oracle 10.2.0.2 This is a library sharing environment. The tsm instance where the node is defined, tsmsap2, has 12 dedicated tape drives in a 3584 lib. At the time of the failure there were at least 6 drives available.

Re: Lan Free Backup Problem
Richard Thank you for the reply. Our only way out was to kill the TSM StorageAgent process and restart it. Lanfree backups then continued as normal. For some of the messages and message text, there were a number of identical hits on the IBM support site saying that this had happened in TSM v5.2.2 (our version) and were fixed in a v5.3 release. All of our other TSM servers are 5.4, but trying to upgrade this one is a nightmare. The StorageAgent and main TSM have been running since September 2006. It's a very high availability Oracle application, and the business/IT management won't allow us to take it down to upgrade. I've pointed out that we are down level and unsupported, but it does'nt help. They now want us to move the backups to a new library (TS3500), so i guess we'll have to force the issue at some stage soon.

Its classic cause in TCP/IP communications is that the local end has attempted to create a socket, and then bind a specific port number to it - but some other process is already using that port number. That port number would be one either specified in your options file or be a product default. See http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/TIPS0564.html for a convenient summary of port specifications. See the TSM manuals for more detail. You can use lsof, netstat, and like commands to see in- use ports. I would also check your hardware for anomalies. Where you cannot cancel a session or process, that usually indicates an I/O hang, where a device has stopped responding and is blocking progress. There should be site monitoring in place to call out device problems, so they won't be the mystery cause of dependent software failing to function.

Re: TSM being abandoned?
Hello colleagues, TSM being abandoned ? I don't know but IBM 6.1 will have much more functionality than previous versions. IBM has bought two companies FilesX and Diligent . FilesX will be add to TSM in Windows environments, and Diligent improves the dedup technologies. First question : deduplication is very interesting for all backup software, but TSM has more necessities than dedup although in version 6.1 will be available. TSM doesn't need to backup the whole environment each weekend then dedup is more important for other backup sw. Second question : DB2 or TSM db, I am not an expert in DBs, but I think we will have better availability, performance with DB2. We will run an audit db online, and HADR will be available with DB2 ( I hope ). Nowadays I have several customers with DB size around 200 GBytes, this is a problem, I suppose DB2 can manage this TSM dbs better than TSM DB. Fourth question : In my opinion VTLs provide not too much possibilities, in general VTLs aren't matures but it is ideal for lanfree backup. I don't like too much VTL can manage all volumes, I prefer TSM does that. TSM is working for many years and more or less works properly. But all VTL vendors want to sell a new solution, in many cases VTL is appliance with very high cost.

Re: How many drives are you using when you are running TDP for R/ 3 and backing up SAP Database? Urgent!
Hello! Yes, I am using LAN-Free backups via SAN, but I have one HBA (Fiber Channel Adapter - 100 MB/sec) for accessing drives and other 4 FCAs for accessing disks (SHARK). We have two switches (directors) ED-500 and 2 switches MC-Data ES-1000. I think we have to get other three more FCAs for accessing better speed of drives. Is it correct? It means in the following: if we will reach 240 MB/sec (80 * 3) via 3 FCAs, that is 864.000 MB / h. 170 / 864000 = 2 hours. If we will use 3 FCA to our drives. Is it correct?

Urgent! Hi Assuming it are LANFree backups, via how many HBA's are you accessing your drives (and disks)? I think the HBA and or the SAN-switch will be the bottleneck (if you have 1Gbit/sec adapters/ports). Let's say you will reach 80 MB/s via 1 HBA, that's 288.000 MB/h 170/288000 = 6 hours if you use 1 HBA to your drives and many tapedrives This assumes that you have a seperate HBA for disk and that there is hardly any other traffic on that part of the SAN. If you can reach each individual drive (or each 2) via different fabrics, things change. Then one can easily calculate the amount of drives from the specifications of the drive. Let's say these drives can reach 30MB/s. Then one needs at least 4 drives to finish in 4 hours. We reach our 3590 drives via different fabrics and get with 2 drives a throughput of 250 GB/hour for our SAP-backups (AIX). Maybe you should have a look at flashcopy and/or TDP for ESS for SAP/R3.

Regards, Matt Adams Tivoli Storage Manager Team Hermitage Site Tech Deloitte and Touche USA LLP Forum: ADSM.ORG - ADSM / TSM Mailing List Archive Date: May 13, 02:25 From: Norback, Jan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sergey, Yes, the LAN path isn't used! Thus the restore will fail when the object is on disk. Even worse is that in our case it failed in the end of a large restore after first having restored the online backups and in the end the transaction logs that unfortunately were on a disk pool. The following is part of the answer from IBM regarding this problem. There is nothing in here about API/TDP but it gives you the idea about how development seems to see this problem (feature). Of course we do not migrate to disk in our case but the outcome is the same: Doc #1067224 - IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Files not restorable in a LAN-Free environment Problem Desc: In a LAN-Free environment files that have migrated to storage pools who's device classes are not SAN attached or accessible (such as devclass DISK) can become un-retrievable to your LAN-Free enabled client unless special actions are taken. Solution: Files that are stored in storage pools that are not SAN attached or accessible have to be moved over the LAN path. In most cases the customer runs into a problem when attempting to restore a single active file or and inactive copy of any number of files. The reason is that the customer is not performing a 'no query restore'. A no query restore is defined as any restore using an unrestricted wildcard source file specification, and not using any of the options: INACTIVE, PICK, FROMDATE or TODATE. For example: dsmc restore /home/myfiles/* A LAN-Free enabled client must use a 'non query restore' to enable a duel session restore over LAN-Free. This duel session restore allows the client to open more than one concurrent session. These 2 sessions allow the client to retrieve data over the LAN-Free path and the LAN path on the same run. In cases where a 'no query restore' is not possible then you will need to retrieve files that are not LAN accessible by disabling 'enable lanfree' from your dsm.sys (dsm.opt in windows) file. Customers typically run into this problem for performance reasons. Small files do not transfer efficiently over LAN-Free connections due to the meta data overhead. Thus they set up policy so that small files are moved over the LAN to a DISK storage pool. In order to reduce this problems impact TSM administrators should migrate these DISK storage pools to a LAN-Free accessible storage pool as soon as possible.

AIX first timer.
Hi everyone. Well now we are planning to move our TSM server from OS/390 to AIX here is our AIX config. TSM 5.2 AIX 5.2 ACSLS 6.1.1 My question relates to tape drives. I was able to get the Library, Drives and paths defined to that I think are correct parameters using ACSLS I have exported data from my OS/390 TSM server and I am attempting to import the data into the AIX server that is when i received the following error message: ANR0796E IMPORT NODE: Error encountered in accessing data storage - insufficient number of mount points available for removable media. The thing is I think that I have the mountpoints that I need for this here are the detailed list of the LIbrary, Drives, Device class. I am unable to reach serarch.adsm.org so I thouhgt that I'd ask the questions to the gang. Any help is appreciated.

Re: What's my best strategy given this scenario? (see inside for details)
John, Server to server will only move data over the wan, there is no lanfree option at this time. If you are only using second site for backup then there is no need for TSM2 at all. Just define your second site library and drives with an new device class and stgpools on TSM1 Start a backup stgpool and magically, data will transfer to the second site. I'm doing something like this: TSM DB and logs are (AIX) mirrored and my diskpools are split with ½ at each site in separate pools. Primary stgpool data flow is [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] The [EMAIL PROTECTED] is normally access=unavailable, so it is usually skipped and data goes straight to [EMAIL PROTECTED] During daily migration I point [EMAIL PROTECTED] directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] All backup stg goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the event of a disaster, the tsm instance is switched to the second site. DB and logs run on mirrors and nothing is lost there. Data in disk stgpools is lost and can either be recovered from [EMAIL PROTECTED] or marked as destroyed and backed up again. Primary backups are made to go to second site by making [EMAIL PROTECTED] available. Yes its complex, but it works. HTH Steve Harris AIX and TSM Admin Queensland Health, Brisbane Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] 17/12/2003 8:20:34 Here is our current setup. We have 2 TSM systems. TSM1 which is where all the TSM clients backup to at night. TSM2 is offsite and only used for keeping a second copy of the TSM1 data using the BACKUP STGPOOL command. They are fiber connected like this: Location 1|Location 2 --|-- | | Shark1 | Shark2 || | TSM1 - 2109 - 2029 == 2029 - 2109 - TSM2 | | | 3494 Library1 | 3494 Library2 Both TSM1 and TSM2 have a fiber attached 3494 Library in their respective locations. Both TSM1 and TSM2 have a fiber attached shark in their respective locations. We have a few TSM clients that are fiber attached to the Shark drive on TSM1 give that the amount of storage area for that server is rather large. From my understanding, there are LAN free and Server Free options so I would think that I should be able to set it up so TSM1 sends data directly from it's 3494 Library to TSM2's 3494 Library via fiber without having to send the data over ethernet. I'm a little confused on how I make this so. Or for that matter, what my best strategy is at this point. Do I need the Tivoli Storage Agent for this? Would it make the transfer faster? The data is being sent right now but it seems to be pretty slow given that it should be sending the data via fiber (at least I think). Can someone shed some light on what my best strategy here is? Or maybe a suggestion on a publication to read for optimising our environment. I just want to make sure that data going from TSM1 to TSM2 is getting there as fast as possible and also that the TSM clients with fiber attached Shark Drives are being backed up as fast as possible.

We ran into a situation over the weekend that I have not seen mentioned before, and I was hoping that someone might be able to shed some light on what occurred. TSM server has a 3583 library attached to it, connected via SAN. TSM has been running for almost a year, using LAN-free backups for two DB servers (cold DB backups, using just the backup-archive client and StorageAgent). During that time, all backups have been to two LTO-1 drives. Last week, four LTO-2 drives were added to the library, and the library was partitioned so that the two original drives are in one library (libr 3583, devclass 3583). The second partition contains the 4 new LTO-2 drives (libr 3583-2, devclass LTO2) Access to the new drives was tested from the TSM server, and everything was working fine. All server-side operations were cut over to use LTO2, without encountering any problems once the devclass and storagepools were defined. Testing of the LAN-free backups had do wait for a maintenance window this past weekend. Once the devices were visible on the systems with the Storage Agents, the Storage Agents were stopped and restarted. Messages were logged for both storage agents that the new library was recognized: ANR8920I (Session: 12560, Origin: APP1_PROD_STA) Initialization and recovery has ended for shared library 3583-2. After the Storage Agents were restarted, the copygroup for the LAN-Free clients' policy domain was modified to point to the new LTO2 storagepools, and the policyset was activated. We confirmed that the activation was in effect by querying the copygroup, and then started a backup on each of the two clients. In both cases, tapes were mounted to the old LTO1 drives. We went back and double-checked all settings, and all appeared correct, but tapes from the 3583 devclass (LTO1) were still being mounted in the LTO1 drives. When we stopped and restarted the Storage Agents on the two clients and attempted another backup, scratch tapes were mounted into the LTO2 drives, and the volumes were defined in the intended LTO2 storagepool. Is there a documented requirement that the storage agent needs to be restarted after a copygroup destination is changed on the TSM server? I've searched, and did not find anything, but it's certainly possible that I overlooked something. Thanks, Ted

LTO bad performance on backup stgpool
Hi *SM'ers I am looking into why our LTO1 / LTO2 performance is so terrible (50% rated throughput on avg) during backup stgpools. TSM 5.2.4 AIX 5.2 IBM 3584 library LTO1 and LTO2 drives. The drives hit their rated throughputs during LANFree backup. We have 2 sites with the same devices, 3584 library with 12 LTO1 and 12 LTO2. Each site manages and clients to the others library, so siteA's copypools reside on volumes in the library managed by siteB and vice versa. We have 600MB/sec full duplex fibre connections between the two sites. This should cope with both sites using 6LTO1 and 6LTO2 to send copypool data to the alternate site at the same time. Max throughput from the drives shouldn't be more than around 550MB/sec During backup stgpools, I am told we are throwing approx 250-300MB/sec over the inter-site-link for the SAN. The drives at both sites appear to run at less than half the rated throughput. I have so far looked at movebatch and movesize, set to 1000 and 2048 currently. Performance under unix shows normal amounts of idle/user/cpu/iowait. Database cache hit% is 99.99 on a 120GB database. There is no log wait %. Does anyone have any pointers as to what to look through next? (I'm looking for quick wins; any very-in-depth investigations will require my borrowing a unix resource, and is complicated by the fact we have no test environment) One thing I am not sure of, are tsm internal data movements affected by the many-small-files scenario, or does this mainly impact dsmc backups? Some of the pools being copied hold millions of tiny files (300Bytes on avg) but not all pools. Thanks, Matt.

Re: delete offsite volume - did not go to a pending status
Update the access to readwrite or readonly first, than it will be deleted. So also help update volume update vol 006273 access=reado The volume can't be deleted becaurse it's access=offline, like the actlog said. And after a delete volume the volume doesn't go to pending, it's deleted, so it completely disappears. Only if the volume is in the library, you can find the volume back with q libv. If it isn't in the library, the volume is gone. Regards, Maurice - Original Message - From: T.

Re: Move data for offsite volume
Bill, Hi. This is Don from the McData class. Try this DRM command for each of the volumes you've brought back, move drm vol# wherest=vault tostate=onsiter. You would execute this first for every tape you bring back, then check the tape into the library. I'm not 100% sure how tsm will respond when done in reverse. Just check your volume status after the move drm command, and/or your activity log.

Re: System Object / Mgmt. Classes / Policy Sets / Backup Groups - - Wh at's the best way??
Hi Kevin, Most people have only 2 policy sets for each policy domain - the acitve and the inactive one. I suggest you make a new management class: * In the NOCODOM policy domain, create a new management class, for example call it SYSOBJ_MAN * Edit the BACKUP COPY GROUP for that new management class to set your retention to 7 instead of 60. * ACTIVATE the policy set for that domain; that makes the changed version active. * Pick a Win2K client in the NOCODOM domain to test. * In the dsm.opt file of that client, put an include statement to cause TSM to bind the systemobject to the new management class: include.systemobject SYSOBJ_MAN * Start the backup client and backup the system object * Now pretend you are going to restore the system object: start the client click RESTORE expand SYSTEM OBJECT click on one of the components (like registry) scroll to the right, you should see the time and management class of the last backup if it says SYSOBJ_MAN instead of DEFAULT, it's working * Now you have to figure out how you are going to make this happen on ALL the clients in the NOCODOM domain. * You can either use sneakernet and add this to the dsm.opt file of all the affected clients, or create a clientoptionset on the server with this include statement (certainly easier to do!) -Original Message- From: Thach, Kevin [mailto:KThach;COVHLTH.COM] Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 3:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: System Object / Mgmt. Classes / Policy Sets / Backup Groups -- Wh at's the best way?? Hi, I've been designated the TSM administrator here at my workplace, and I'm trying to educate myself as I go without making a mess of things. Our IBM partner came in and installed the server and a few clients, and handed it over to me. I now have about 200 Win2K clients, 40 AIX Clients, and about 5 Linux Clients. My question is this: The person that installed our environment basically set up 6 Policy Domains: Colodom, Exchange, Lanfree, MSSQL, Nocodom, and Oracle. 99% of the clients are in the Nocodom (non-collocated) domain, which has one policy set, and one management class which has one backup copy group with retention policies set to NOLIMIT, 3, 60, 60. So, my problem is this. It turns out that in trying to upgrade from 4.2.2.3 to 5.1.X we ran into the problem with System Objects BIGTIME. We are retaining 60 days worth of System Object files for about 200 Win2K clients, which translates to about 29,000,000 System Object files, and about 55% of our TSM database (36 GB). What we've decided to do before upgrading to 5.1.X is to upgrade to 4.2.3 and lessen the retention for the System Objects. However, I have no experience in setting up Mgmt classes, policy sets, etc, and I'm not sure what I need to do in that arena. What I'd like to get to is this: 1) System Objects retained for 7 days 2) Everything else retained for 60 days How do I set up an additional policy set for just the System Object stuff?

Re : Re: Co-location
Since we use 9840 tapes, we didn't want clients with 1-2 gb of data to use 1 whole tape. So we did just what you described. We have over 50% of our clients in this situation. We put the limit at 10-12 GB (a 9840 holds 20 GB). Sure you have to carve up you're disk pool but the small clients don't require alot of disks. Their pool is only 10 GB and it can hold a night's worth of backups easily.

Re: Co-location
HI, I think your problem might be the NOLIMIT option - it saves a copy of all files - whether or not they are deleted - it doesn't clear space off your disks during expiration - we had the same problem - until I removed NOLIMIT off our Novell policy.

Re: binding WWN and SCSI on NT with QLOGIC QLA2200
Hi, I guess he's talking about the QLogic SANsurfer tool. The latest version should be the 2.0.23 and you can download it from the QLogic website. But be aware of some restrictions: We tried to use it for persistent binding in an environment with dual attached STK9940A drives. But the Windows hosts were not always able to see all 16 devices (8 drives, with 2 paths each). Sometimes it were 10, or 5, or 8, or... QLogic is working on this effect, it could be some kind of timing problem during the device detection phase. The suggested workaround (first one path, then the other, then both) didn't work for us. BTW: The AIX TSM server doesn't have this problem...

Re: How to define Library2
OK, everybody's at the latest AIX and TSM 5.5.2. The shared library manager, NT, now handles CAPEKLIB1 for N1-N6 and has no clients of its own. The thinking behind this was that NT could be restarted in an instant with nothing more than the default DB and Log. So NAS clients have to talk to a different library, right? And Mr. SAN, two desks down, says all physical connections should be LANFree (and Liverpool just scored against Real Madrid on tape, so I've got distractions). My reading of manuals is that the NAS can't use NT as it is currently used. That's why I created the second logical library on the TS3500.

It's not clear from your post whether you want NT to own it also, or N6 (which presumably is also a client of CAPEKLIB1, which is allowed). But I'm assuming you want it to belong to N6, non-shared: a) use the library web interface to create a control point on a drive in logical library CAPEKLIB2. b) zone the library drives so they are jvisible on the SAN to N6 c) In Windows Device Manager, right click and select scan for new hardware. d) In the TSM Management Console Device Driver window, you should now have a new lbx.x.x.y and new drives mtx.x.x.y.

I'm not looking to solve a problem just looking for input as it relates to SANergy and setting up a new environment in a new location and only if it makes sense to do so. You are. You want to segregate backup traffic from production traffic. We (me too) techies tend to think in terms of solutions first, suppress that. Define the problem first before you start looking at solutions. Define it well. Keep things simple as possible. If I understand SANergy correctly it's a way to back up data in a SAN environment to disk pool on a SAN by keeping it off the regular network. It is a way yes. BTW, since TSM 6.1 GPFS is also supported for LAN- free to disk, and is a much better FS than SANergy. If you want to go the SAN-shared filesystem look at GPFS first. Better, look at every solution on earth first before you look at SANergy. If that is a correct assumption it is why I asked for responses to my statement about comparisons to a segregated network instead. Ok, now, keep in mind, I don't like SANergy. IMNSHO it has been poorly designed. Also, IMNSHO, LANfree is a lot of trouble in maintaining the client. I'd first consider using 802.1Q VLAN tagging. Supported on all operating systems, easy to configure and a lot cheeper. But, it's not physical separations, so if you need that, 802.1Q is not for you. It all depends on the problem you are trying to solve ;-) What are you limitations? 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. It usually is, and usually a lot less expensive. If the only reason to buy a stack of SAN switches would be TSM, you'll also need a lot of extra knowledge, if you need the SAN anyway, than that is not an issue 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. unless you go vtl. I like the gresham VTL for such an application, but there are many. All have their strong and week points. 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. shameless plug: I'd gladly help you design your next TSM environment, there are so many considerations...

You can do this from the TSM server console using server to server communications to the client: storageagentname: q mount The data being restored must be accessable from the storage agent. It may be that after backup, the data was migrated to devices not accessable to the storage agent. Cheers, Neil Strand Storage Engineer - Legg Mason Baltimore, MD.

Re: ANR844E: UPDATE PATH: Library MSL5060 is currently unavailab
Hello, I had problem like that with ts3500(IBM) and i500 (adic) libraries. I have tsm 6.1.2.1 on windows 2003 server. I just played with the tape drivers I installed on the tpe drives older version of driver and then update the path to online. It was week ago and all pathes still online. I did not reboot the server.
