Re: Restore DB problem

Wed, 11 Jun 2003 15:39:22 -0700

We run TSM on AIX 5.1, using Gresham to control a 9310 with 9840 and 9940 drives. To do the restore we used this devconfig file, and when the server requested a mount, used EDT to mount the volume in the correct tape drive. Just change the parameters to fit your environment. Hope this helps.

/* Device Configuration */
SET SERVERNAME TSM2
DEFINE DEVCLASS 9840 DEVTYPE=ECARTRIDGE FORMAT=DRIVE LIBRARY=TSM2LIB1
MOUNTLIMIT=1
DEFINE LIBRARY TSM2LIB1 LIBTYPE=MANUAL
DEFINE DRIVE TSM2LIB1 TAPE2 ONLINE=YES
DEFINE PATH TSM2 TSM2LIB1 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=LIBRARY ONLINE=YES
DEFINE PATH TSM2 TAPE2 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE LIBRARY=TSM2LIB1
DEVICE=/dev/mt23 ONLINE=YES

Of course my library definition in devconfig is EXTERNAL, because we use
Gresham to control library. Could you exactly describe how to set up this
library as manual in devconfig please?

Thanks

Is your library set up as "manual" in the devconfig? In my experience,
using an external library requires this setup for the DB restore. Give
that a shot. We had similar problems with a DB restore one time using an
STK 9310 Library. Once we had the devconfig right, it worked like a charm.

I got the same error when I was doing a DB restore for one of our W2K
Library clients.  The issues was I had define the device name using the
/dev/mt0.0.0.n.  In W2K the device name does not need the (/dev), as that
is a AIX definition.

Tomas,

I saw these same errors setting up a TSM 5.2 server in an AIX environment
going to a STK 9310 using Gresham EDT software.  I could do


queries but not


read/write to any tapes.  My problem was, after I defined the library I
needed to run the define path command;





define path tsmservername stklibraryname srctype=external


desttype=library




externalmanager=/usr/lpp/dtelm/bin/elm

The externalmanager path will be different. I hope this helps

Subject: Restore DB problem


Hi all,

I have a problem with restore DB from external library STK9310 PowderHorn
managed by Gresham EDT on W2000 TSM server. This is restore of TSM server
on
the same machine with volume history file and devconfig file


enabled. I did


it many times successfuly with other libraries (almost local SCSI
connected). I prepared DB and RL volumes the same size and location as
original by DSMSERV FORMAT command and try to do restore DB (DSMSERV
RESTORE
DB TODATE=date). This is important part of output:

ANR7800I DSMSERV generated at 09:17:48 on Nov 5 2002.

STK9310 with 6x


STK9840 FC drives, virtualized through SN/6000. I see all drives


in system,


Gresham is running and working good (I can do mounts, query ..etc).

Do anybody have some idea what is the problem, or would I open PMR on IBM
support?

Many thanks
