Re: IP over FC on AIX
Hi The Emulex adapter that you are using supports both ordinary Ethernet FC connetion over IP, and FCP connections over a SAN. However, you cannot use the IP protocol to talk directly over the SAN, as the SAN only talks SCSI commands. However, you can use the IBM drivers supplied, a Tivoli Storage Agent, and SAN attached storage (tape) devices to backup your data over the SAN. Remeber that only large files can fully utilize the SAN. Small files will cause a lot of meta data to be sent over the ordinary LAN, which makes it unnecessary to send data over the SAN at all.

Re: New Tivoli licensing - what processor mean (RESOLVED)
Hello fellow *SMers, even if I do not like the answer we've found it. According to IBM EMEA Announcement Letter ZP02-0172 (http://www.ibmlink.ibm.com/emealetsparms=H_ERIFZP020172), Section Ordering IBM Tivoli Products One or more charge units are associated with each product. These charge units are: - Processors managed by the product - Clients managed by the product - Distributed servers managed by the product - zSeries processors managed by the product - Processors in which the managing server is installed Processors are based upon TSM server and TSM *nodes* processors if they are servers in customer application environment. If it is a workstation (appl. client) it requires client license and no processors. So if we have an (imaginary) ISM installation consisting of dual-processor TSM server, cluster of two four-processor Oracle servers, uniprocessor file server, uniprocessor MDC and 20 dual-processor Xeon/2GHz CAD stations, we would need 12 processor and 20 client charge units for IBM TSM (5698-ISM) or IBM TSM EE (5698-ISE) and (optional) eight processors for IBM TSM for Databases (5698-APD). Right now I cannot calculate all possible configurations nor predict any averages or stats but for some configurations price would change slightly while for some others will drop significantly. OTOH I can make (not so) artificial configuration which would have an increased price. This raises the issue how to migrate Tivoli Management Points from Value-Based Pricing to Processors and Clients in Enhanced VBP. Also another question to ask is - does a customer need to buy additional licenses to keep its license compliance. This is another story and I have to dig more.

Hi guys,
I am in the situation whereby I have to think about DR soon, and need
the best solution.
Here is the story so far:-
I have a TSM Server on an RS/6000 plugged into a 3583 library on one
site. The DR suite is 4 to 500 yards down the road. This has another
RS/6000 with a second 3583 library plugged into it for HA purposes.
What i need to be able to do, when the Primary Server fails over to the
secondary Server (In a HA situation), is to get it to use the second
library.
Both of the two libraries are plugged into to mirrored ESS's, so both
the RS/6000's should be able to see BOTH libraries.
What I was thinking of doing was putting copy tapes into the second
library, and onsite tapes into the first and utilising both librarys at
the same time - can this be done?.
If anyone could give me and pointers here as to the best approach or
any possible OTHER approaches, then I would be forever in their debt!.

Bill, Your arguments are excellent, and I have one large client dealing with the health records issue --- they need to save patient records for 32 years; we are liking the export solution, once a year, for those nodes (in order to control TSM db size) -- and, continue storing their data in archive storage so we have access to all versions generated, then (AFTER THE FACT) deleting extra versions from each month --- save 2 or 3, delete the rest from archive storage, using a smart script in concert with the dba's technique of naming the files being stored. However I only know ONE (simple) way to accomplish the desired, stated results --- month-end snapshot kept for X months or years; ie, a backupset of the desired file systems on specific nodes. The limitation of this solution is it only captures files in backup storage; you need a different answer for database backups stored in archive storage -- my DBA's love using archive storage, and I have no argument against it, as they only care about time (have no need or interest in counting versions, etc), and they must save daily backups for 4-14 days, weekly's for 6 weeks, monthly's for 6-15 months, etc. If you have a method that allows you mark the currently active versions of backup files with a different retention than others, I think it would be new news to most of us... please share.

There is a good reason it keeps coming up: legitimate business requirements. The suits (auditors, IRS, corp counsel, HIPAA, etc) demand to be able to be able to reproduce any datum at given intervals for given durations. Most often, that translates to restoring files that may change every day to month end state for somewhere between 1 and 7 years. Sometime they can identify the kinds of data they want, but it is expensive to accurately identify the list of all files/directories required, so usually you get a vague wave to save everything. And of course, it's their data, not yours, they have a right to keep as much as they want. Telling them that TSM doesn't support their requirement just invites other software vendors in the door since *they* handle this particular requirement with ease (on paper). The number of days you can reasonably keep in an incremental backup usually doesn't extend to forever. Archives sometimes don't cut it, either in their traditional form or the instant form. You can't stand to move that much data or use that many tapes - that's why you went incremental forever in the first place. I really just to do some operation that marks the current active version with a longer guaranteed retention, without changing the retention of anything else. I don't want to restart the perennial discussion of truly long term archival storage. It's reasonable to expect a backup system to maintain internal compatibility for 7 years, and there are techniques for migrating the data to newer media.

Most often, that translates to restoring files that may change every day to month end state for somewhere between 1 and 7 years. Sometime they can identify the kinds of data they want, but it is expensive to accurately identify the list of all files/directories required, so usually you get a vague wave to save everything. And of course, it's their data, not yours, they have a right to keep as much as they want. Telling them that TSM doesn't support their requirement just invites other software vendors in the door since *they* handle this particular requirement with ease (on paper). The number of days you can reasonably keep in an incremental backup usually doesn't extend to forever. Archives sometimes don't cut it, either in their traditional form or the instant form. You can't stand to move that much data or use that many tapes - that's why you went incremental forever in the first place. I really just to do some operation that marks the current active version with a longer guaranteed retention, without changing the retention of anything else. I don't want to restart the perennial discussion of truly long term archival storage.

Re: 3494 replacement (cont.)
I would make sure to rmdev -dl each tape drive and then a cfgmgr to re-configure them. The library (LMCP) should come up OK when rebooting the AIX system after the library is back online. Make sure that the library is online and available. I ran into an issue over the weekend at a D/R exercise where when I rebooted the S-80 server I had the library offline in manual mode so I could put all the tapes in the slots. When I went to access the drives, I got errors saying that the drive wasn't part of the library. DOing an 'mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -D' to list all drives in the library gave me no output. I had to refresh the LMCP and everything was OK. Within TSM you could delete the drives with no problems and re-define them. But you can't easily delete the library without having to change the device classes around since they reference the library. I was told that just doing an UPDATE LIBRARY DEVICE=same device would cause TSM to re-initialize itself with the library statistics. Also doing an UPDATE DRIVE command does the same thing. SO, you don't have to delete and re-define, just do an UPDATE DRIVE/LIBRARY. This would probably be a good time to make sure your ibmatl and atape drives are up-to-date. The checkin...I would do STATUS=SCRATCH first. TSM won't check in tapes that he thinks has data on them. So don't delete your VOLHIST file(s)! Follow this up with a checkin STATUS=PRIVATE to get everything else. Put all the tapes physically in the library and let the library manager perform the inventory. I would do this before you bring up the TSM box. Then start TSM and do your checkin's.

Re: Monthly Backups, ...again!
Several reasons: 1. I already have the exact file versions I want to have in TSM, and have no functional reason to create another set of tapes. It is offensive to the spirit of TSM to create an additional file copy, especially when I have no capability to use them to locally restore the node. 2. Tapes (and tape drive usage) are expensive. I get one tape per node; when you have 100GB tapes and 20GB nodes, this is a problem. 3. There is no second copy. If the data are that important, don't I want media protection, especially if I'm keeping the data 7 years? And how do I recopy the data periodically, as required for long term data retention? And how do I migrate to new media? 4. In noncollocated environments, I will have to mount a number of tapes to create the backup set at the end of the month, and I will have to do it over and over for each node. 5. Backupsets are very inconvenient to restore from. You can either restore the entire dataset, or use the commandline to try to pick out exactly the file you are looking for. If you make a mistake, it searches the whole thing before it fails, and you start over. 6. The backupset tapes are another thing to manage. At one time they did not expire properly; I don't know if that has been fixed or not.

3494 Partitioning Security Not!, But Maybe There is Hope
This is the second time around on this question? Is anyone interested in this issue? Those of us that are trying to share our 3494 libraries and some of us having done so successfully have recognized that the mtlib command and the lmcpd interface have no security to prevent improper accidental or malicious actions. Once an open systems host has been defined to the library that host can change the categories of the tapes, mount them in what ever drive it wishes, use tapeutil to do whatever including read, write, erase the tape if the host has access to a tape drive in the library. As part of Share and a customer I have taken an interest in defining a requirement for IBM to eliminate this issue. There are a number of approaches that IBM could take, but the easiest, simplest, and most cost effect from my point of view is to implement security in the library manager to register ranges of tapes to hosts (multiple if you like). Register the drives the host can manipulate. And, to implement a password token with automated refresh and manual reset facilities that the host has to pass with each lmcpd (mtlib) request. However, this would not change the way any application (backup product) uses the library or the ability to say a system has unlimited access (* for all tapes or drives). This function would be selected by the customer as to whether to turn it on or not. Once on, each host will have to have a temporary password set in the LM and issue a new parameter (-P) on the mtlib command with the temporary password to prime the password control information for a host into the ibmatl.conf entry for that library for this host. At that point the system will go into a password generate mode where it can change the password in a two phased commit process every n days (customer selectable). Each lmcpd request will have the imbedded generated password token. There are certainly other security encryption schemes that could be used to protect against snooping, but that is the least of the problem right now and would be only nice to have. At least now the host has to pass an authorization to do something to the tapes. The LM GUI interface would have some extensions to the host definition screen to support defining what a host could manipulate. One area that would be nice is to define volume or drive groups and just register the host to the volume or drive groups that you wish it to be able to manipulate. That way a change to the group to add a new drive would not require every host to be updated, same for volumes. This is how it would affect the open systems hosts. Commands from an invalid host (reverse IP lookup) rejected outright with the same error that an invalid library gets today. Requests that have invalid passwords would have the same thing happen to them. Requests to manipulate a tape or drive that a host does not have access to will be rejected. Inventory of drive and library query functions will operate as today because backup products issue requests for this stuff and could be affected if it were not left the same. Inventory of tape volumes will mask out volumes not belonging to the host (this is nice to have). The insert function will only notify the hosts that have been registered to the volume range, meaning if no host will get the information if none are registered. And, if a range is registered any tapes in FF00 status will get notified to the newly registered host. How do we want to change this for open systems? We need to ask for what is a business critical need so IBM will do it. How do we want the mainframe to play here? The mainframe does not use the lmcpd interface, yet. Customers have asked for mtilib on the S/390 so that they can do the inquiry functions or fix problems with open systems tapes. I suggest that the same be true of the S/390 requests. However, right now, I suggest it be simple, allow a S/390 definition to the library for all S/390s and let them continue to manage their security external to the library among themselves. At least this would prevent the S/390 from messing with open systems tapes and drives. If the mtlib function is created for S/390 down the road it will just work the same way as the functionality for the open systems. The potential benefits here are significant. Sharing tapes between platforms without exposing things that you do not want could become a reality. Sharing drives becomes much more secure because you can limit the pools of drives a host can manipulate. Using a library to support multiple internal customers/users now becomes a possiblity. And, the potential for an integrity train wreck waiting to happen were some critical data gets accidentally destroyed is eliminated. If the function for insert is done the way suggested above you could just load your library with a bunch of tapes and leave them in FF00 status. Define a new range when a host needs some more tapes and those notifications get sent to the host for it to do

Re: windows 2000 cluster backup performance?
I am only in the testing phase of clustered NT backups, but I have a few questions. Is the W2K cluster local to the TSM server ? Does the TSM server also have a 100Mbit nic ? Are there any other backups running to the TSM server at the time ? Is there other LAN traffic at the time of the backup ? How does CPU utilization on the W2K cluster look during the backups ? What is the reported Aggregate and Network transfer rates in the W2K TSM client logs ? I have seen a significant difference in my transfer speeds for W2K and UNIX. Unix always seems to be higher. Your numbers show a difference of 2.22 mb per second. Fairly significant but depending on the above information it may be within reason. A comparison of other 100mbit W2K systems may you help find your benchmark.

Unfortunately the cluster will eventually have 400Gb+ so any kind of archive and first time incrementals will take days. Our UNIX servers using same backup LAN get 20GB+ an hour to the same TSM server. What kind of backup performance have other people had with similar setups? Is 12Gb an hour the norm for a win2k cluster? Many Thanks Chris (A unix bod trying to cope with Windows) _ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

Re: TSM DB Fullbackup 19GB takes 4 hours on OS/390 VTS
Why are you putting a 28GB database backup to a VTS? This is not a good use of the VTS. I can see the length of the backup just knowing how the VTS works internally. Your data is going to a 'cache' area in the VTS which is DISK. When you hit the end-of-voloume on a 3490 tape (logically as there is no real tape), the VTS assigns more are of the cache for the volume. If there isn't room and the cache is full, then through a LRU algorithm old data is purged off the cache. If that data hasn't been staged to 'real' 3590 tape volumes, you wait for that to happen. Depending on how large this cache disk area in in your VTS, you're probably filling a large portion of that just with your DB backup. Plus the data you send into the VTS needs to be staged to real 3590 volumes. The VTS is good for smaller amounts of data, just a couple volumes worth of 3490 size that is mostly written once and then read. Appending to a virtual tape volume is not very effecient as the data needs to be re-staged back to cache (if it's not there already), data appended and then staged back to real tape, but in a different place. The original location of the data on the real 3590 is now invalid. You can see that you have both a performance hit while your data is staged back to cache, plus if you do a lot of appending, you're fragmenting the real 3590 volumes. The internal operation of the VTS is actually a form of TSM to handle the data migration from cache to tape, recalls and reclamation of the tape volumes when a threshold is reached. TSM, HSM and applications that like to completely fill a tape volume are not good candidates for a VTS. There's also the offsite vaulting out of a VTS to deal with...

TDPO/RMAN orphan backups
Hello *SMers: We recently switched from an ADSM 3 server to TSM 4 on a different server (a clean switch; NOT an upgrade). We'll keep the old server on-line for a while just in case we need to restore an old version of something. I didn't quite think through the TDPO/RMAN switch, though, and my purge scripts switched to the new server at the same time as my backup scripts. So RMAN was busy deleting old Oracle backups from its own catalog, trying to delete them from the new TSM server (where they didn't exist), but not deleting them from the old ADSM server. Now that they're gone from the RMAN catalog, I'm not sure of the easiest or best way to get rid of them from ADSM. Is there some policy change I can make so they expire? Or should I just delete the filespace? Thanks. Joseph -- Joseph Thvedt [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tape mount denied access
Hello everyone! I have a problem here and I'm not sure how to fix it. I have tape that has been waiting to be mounted now for 1/2 an hour. It is in the silo and it belongs to an onsite tape pool. This particular tape was being called to be mounted for a backup copy job that will copy it to an offsite copy pool. My problem is that since the tape refuses to be mounted, I can't move the data off of the tape and there are no copies of it to recover off of offsite tapes in the vault. Is there anything that can be done for this or do I just have a bad tape and I'll have to delete the volume from TSM? The error messages I received were ANR1213E for the one volume and ANR1216E for the other volume. (I had 2 processes start for the backup copy and both could not mount either tape, which I think is bizarre) I'd appreciate any input on this matter.

These are buggers to solve, unless you can find some consistency -- eg, one client fails but others run fine (typical, and helps reduce the focus to identify the delta between good client and failing client -- for Win2K, we've seen flaky OEM-NIC's cause this kind of problem; also, one switch vendor didn't work well with forced 100/full, simply insisted on auto-negotiate.) - Original Message - From: Jim Healy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 11:25 AM Subject: TSM network problem Can any of you network gurus help me out with a TSM problem?

Version 4.2.1.26 Client Problem?
I was wondering if any one has had any problems with the 4.2.1.26 client. I started to roll this out to production on some of my nt4.0 and 2000 clients. We have this payroll software that runs on 3 nt4.0 boxes, 1 SQL 1 file server, and 1 for the apps. The other day I upgraded them to the 4.2.1.26 clients. Two of the boxes are fine, but the SQL box is now acting up. It does not lock the box up, or crash it, It just will not allow users to access the shares. It seems to be ok after a reboot but the next day we start over again. We are trying to do some more debugging, but was wondering if anyone else had any kind of similar problem.

Haven't seen this (we use rl-compression but no client compression). OTOH, I'm not moving to 3.2.0.8 on AIX because there's an annoying bug in restores. I've found that the restore runs properly -- everything comes down as it should -- and then the ONE copy of the controlfile gets copied to the alternate locations, and the orig logs get copied to the mirror locations. And the copies all end up owned by sidadm, not by orasid. This tends to irritate Oracle to no end.

Re: Daily Backup Report
Historically (since ADSM V1), successful incremental backups had not taken skipped files into account. The rationale was that when processing entire file systems, you are very likely to run into one or more files that could not be processed. That being the case, you still need to check the client dsmerror.log and/or dsmsched.log file for skipped files. I understand that this may not fit your definition of successful, and it doesn't take a very large TSM installation to make checking individual logs a tedious task (to say the least). But likewise, if we flagged every event as failed where a file was skipped, many users would not be happy with that definition, either, i.e. I don't care if TSM couldn't back up junk.txt, I don't want the backup to be treated as failed. While it has been a long time in coming, version 5.1 addresses this with the consistent return codes feature. If files are skipped, then while the event is still flagged as completed, the result code field in the QUERY EVENT F=D output will show you the return code for the event. If the RC is 0, then all files that were eligible for backup were backed up. If the RC is 4, then you know that one or more files were skipped. If the RC is 8, then you know at least one warning-level message was issued (and it is possible that one or more files were skipped). The purpose of the RC 8 is to let you know that while the file systems were processed to completion, you may want to check the client for more severe problems than skipped files (but also check for skipped files). If the RC is 12, then one or more error messages were issued during the backup. In this case, the problems encountered were probably severe enough to prevent processing of one or more file systems, and the event is flagged as failed. Any behavior that deviates from this would most likely be a bug (i.e. if you saw a skipped file, but the RC still showed as 0). I am not trying to be argumentative, but I do not think it is entirely correct to say that QUERY EVENT is not useful to determine success or failure of the backup operation... as long as you understand the meaning. Agreed, is was not so clear prior to 5.1 if you required a successful backup to mean that no files were skipped (and I know this was a hot button for some customers). Hopefully the 5.1 stuff I mentioned above will address this for you. I apologize in advance if I am missing the boat here, but this discussion so far has been pretty general, and I am not aware of your specific issues since you are addressing this through IBM's formal channels, there most likely there is more to your issue(s) than can be resolved on this forum.

Re: Disaster Recovery
How do you get the libraries connected to ESS? Disks can be mirrored
but not tapes! I don't think there is a way to do what you say. Maybe some
real DRM or HA expert has an answer!
I think there is a way for both RS/6000's to see both libraries, takes
some extra hardware and config steps. I've seen it done in past
just don't have details.
However if you loose contact with one library, the second library
doesn't have access to the data in the first.

Hi guys,
I am in the situation whereby I have to think about DR soon, and need
the best solution.
Here is the story so far:-
I have a TSM Server on an RS/6000 plugged into a 3583 library on one
site. The DR suite is 4 to 500 yards down the road. This has another
RS/6000 with a second 3583 library plugged into it for HA purposes.
What i need to be able to do, when the Primary Server fails over to the
secondary Server (In a HA situation), is to get it to use the second
library.
Both of the two libraries are plugged into to mirrored ESS's, so both
the RS/6000's should be able to see BOTH libraries.
What I was thinking of doing was putting copy tapes into the second
library, and onsite tapes into the first and utilising both librarys at
the same time - can this be done?.
If anyone could give me and pointers here as to the best approach or
any possible OTHER approaches, then I would be forever in their debt!.

Re: Daily Backup Report
We use something similar, but only report on client errors (for this
particular report).
select MESSAGE,DOMAINNAME,NODENAME,DATE_TIME from actlog where -
date_timecurrent_timestamp - 1 days and originator='CLIENT' AND
SEVERITY='E' -
ORDER BY DOMAINNAME,NODENAME
Also something to check is for message ANE4959I when the number 0:

number of objects failed: 2
I've seen a NetWare client have failed objects (NDS objects failed) with no

The operation and the actual successful backup are two different things. In

Re: Daily Backup Report
I had thought I had put my two cents worth in on this subject but when searching the archives I failed to see my comments so here goes I agree with Lindsay Morris that simply monitoring the most recent incremental only gives you half the information you require. Even if the incremental reports no errors by whatever method you choose to monitor the success, it does not indicate events such as a entire filespace has not been backed up or only 1024 bytes was transferred when normally you expect a much larger amount. Based on this theory a combination of the success/failure tests need to be executed to get the whole picture this is not available via an 'out of the box' command. Itherefore found it necessary to write a script to obtain the info via SQL. The script (Pearl on Solaris) issues multiple SQL statements because without the OUTER join capability I was unable to combine all the info into a single statement. The SQL also assumes standardisation on the client schedule names, in this case all the incremental are INCR_nodename. The scripts has three major steps; Step 1 - a list of all clients is generated excluding the nodes with 'NOCHECK' in the CONTACTS fields. The NOCHECK allows me to exclude clients I know will report Incr backup failures, ie clients that no longer exists but there still is a need to keep the backups select substr(domain_name,1,3) as dummy, nodes.node_name, nodes.contact from nodes where upper(nodes.contact) is NULL or upper(nodes.contact) not like 'NOCHECK%' and NODETYPE= 'CLIENT' Step 2 reading each node perform the following for each.. - issue an SQL statement against the SUMMARY table extracting the sum of the failures, the bytes transferred, TSM idea of success the schedule run time based upon the schedule name. (select summary.schedule_name, sum(summary.failed) as failures, sum(summary.bytes) amount, summary.successful, sum(cast((summary.end_time-summary.start_time)minutes as decimal(18,0))) from summary where summary.schedule_name like 'INCR%' and summary.entity='$node_name' and cast((current_timestamp-summary.end_time)days as decimal(18,0)) 1 group by summary.successful, summary.schedule_name) - issue an SQL statement against the Filespace table to identify the greatest number of days that any filespace has not been backed up where the CONTACT field in the NODES table does not contact XFSn (where n is an FSID for the node). The XFS allows me to exclude filespace from generating errors when I know the Filespace will not longer be backed up, ie someone removed a drive from a NT client. select distinct substr(nodes.domain_name,1,3), max(cast((current_timestamp-filespaces.backup_end)days as decimal(18,0))) from filespaces, nodes where filespaces.node_name='$node_name' and filespace_id not in ($x_fsid)) group by nodes.domain_name Step 3 - generate HTML to display the results highlighting unacceptable results in an alternate colour (RED) and possible problems in yellow, ie less than 1K or greater than 5 Gb was transferred. obviously the could be convert to page, email whatever An example HOST NODE SUCCESSFUL BYTES FAILURES ELAPSEDFILESPACE (Minutes)DAYS -- HO_TSMNT128ARASHYDYES 1.74 M 13 0 HO_TSMNT128DFMS YES 7.02 M 3 6 0 HO_TSMNT128PDB3 YES 882.26 M 0 21 0 HO_TSMNT128PDCADS01 YES 4.36 G 0 1556 Peter Griffin Sydney Water --- This e-mail is solely for the use of the intended recipient and may contain information which is confidential or privileged.

Re: Disaster Recovery
Hi Roy,
We are considering a DR implementation that's similar to yours - although 500 yards
seems a little close for a DR site.
We haven't actually done it yet, but there are two major possibilities. Assuming that
you have appropriate SAN and network setup. Further assume active/active use of the
two sites.
Configure two TSM servers to run one at each site in such a manner that both TSM
servers can run on the same physical box on either site.
Mirror your disk pools, DB and logs at the AIX level (or using ESS PPRC facilities)
so that you can run either server at either site either singly or together.
Option 1.
Now either dedicate drives in your library to one server or the other or invest in
library sharing licences with each server controlling what is normally its local
library. Define each library to each server and make the tape primary stgpools go to
the local library and copypools go to the remote library. Use each server to back up
its local machines.
In case of failure, bring up failed server at other site. mark primary copies
unavailable and restore as necessary from copypool. You can have scripts on hand to
change definitions to allow backups for the failed over clients to continue to the
failed over server at the wrong library because in a real disaster its going to take
you a while to get back.
Option 2.
If you don't have SAN connection to your remote drives, use server to server to define
your copypools as being on the other TSM server and just run stgpool and database
backups over the LAN. In the case of disaster you still run both servers on the one
machine, but restores are done tape-serverb-internal TCP/IP-servera-client, which
will impact machine performance, but requires only a DRM licence on each server.
Option 3.
You could also physically ship your copypool tapes between the two sites. Never
underestimate the bandwidth of a small car loaded with carts.
Let us know what you decide and how you get on.

5.1 Client cluster support
Hi All, I'm intrigued by the possibilities of the new 5.1 Client cluster support for unix (this is probably old hat to Windows people). We have a new passwddir option which allows us to place the TSM encrypted password wherever we like e.g. a shared disk. The CLUSTERNODE option must therefore imply that the host name is is not combined with the password when it is encrypted (? security hole) We then run with manageservices schedule so the CAD process runs dsmsched on the correct machine at the time of the schedule. The client install guide states that this is only supported under AIX 4.3.3 and it implies HACMP. The only hook that I can see that might be HACMP specific is to discover which filesystems are cluster controlled and I can see no reason why this client would need 5.1 server function. I have Sun/Veritas clients that need this badly, and I'm looking at AIX/Veritas for some upcoming work. Does the AIX 4.3.3 support require HACMP? Should it work with other HA software even if not supported? When can we expect Sun/Veritas support? Will it run on older server levels? Sorry Andy, its must seem that it doesn't matter what you give us we want more, but any clues on this will be appreciated.

Re: TSM network problem
Hi Jim, All good responses so far. We have a similar situation at one of my sites I look after. Are you running in an HACMP environment as well? Not that it should make a difference mind you (The problem I struck was with HACMP not ADSM/TSM. All our worries disappeared after changing the Cisco routers to NOT to auto-negotiate but 100BT. Hope this helps, if not I'm sure you'll get back to us all :) Cheers Stephen Pole Project Operations Manager - Geophysicist IBM RS6000/TSM/HACMP Specialist 61 Delonix Circle Woodvale WA 6026 Austalia Office Phone +61 8 9409 3014 Home Phone +61 8 9409 3012 Mobile Phone +61 4 2121 0157 Time Zone : WAST - GMT + 08:00 hours -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Seay, Paul Sent: Wednesday, 17 April 2002 1:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM network problem Jim, We have found that sometimes the switches have to be set to 100 not auto negotiate as well as the server.

Re: ACSLS connection
Don, To respond to your inquiry, here are some benefits that can be realized in the environment that you have outlined below. 1) Although the SN6000 is present, it creates a problem when more logical than physical drives are configured. This is a long standing problem and it has been resolved by coupling EDT-DistribuTAPE with the SN6000 in a large number of installs. For this reason, when you see an environment involving an SN6000 and TSM, you should automatically include EDT-DistribuTAPE. 2) EDT-DistribuTAPE, in a multiple TSM server environment allows both TSM servers to share the same set of drives as well as a single common pool of media. This includes virtual resources. The SN6000 is not capable of providing a single common pool of media to each TSM server. 3) EDT-DistribuTAPE eliminates the need to check-in a specific range of volumes to each TSM server...this can be a large administrative time savings feature. 4) EDT-DistribuTAPE automates tape labeling operations. When volumes are mounted, the header is checked to verify that it contains a valid label. If it does not, a valid label is written to the tape. This allows non-initialized volumes to be purchased (an average savings of $1-2/cartridge) and saves additional administrative time. 5) EDT-DistribuTAPE allows dynamic reconfiguration of the drives that are available to each TSM server (this can be handy during drive maintenance periods or the addition of new drives to the environment). 6) EDT-DistribuTAPE, due to its architecture, insulates each TSM server from an outage that may occur on another server (were drives to be allocated to each TSM server (dedicated), the outage of one server would cause those drives to be unutilized. This is not the case with EDT-DistribuTAPE because every server (if configured in such a fashion) can access every drive). 7) EDT-DistribuTAPE provides mixed media support allowing numerous device types to be present in one library (a method of centralizing drive and media management). 8) EDT-DistribuTAPE provides a more robust ACSLS interface than natively available in TSM (this is a result of continuous efforts that Gresham undertakes with STK to address issues in the interface and find solutions to those problems). There are further features and benefits that are present in the EDT-DistribuTAPE product that make it worth the investment. Hopefully, the above features alone convince you of this fact. Regardless, please let me know what additional information I can provide you to facilitate your efforts to sell the EDT-DistribuTAPE product in the environment you have mentioned and other environments you are involved with.

I have a client who's installing a StorageTek SN-6000, which virtualizes the tape drives in a Powderhorn silo; they will use two TSM servers, initially -- so, there does not seem to be a compelling reason to use EDT-DT. I have reviewed the online material and the latest install user's guide -- except for SAN mgmt/monitor utilities, I am still trying to find ways to sell the client on installing it before deploying a broad, LAN-free solution. Can you please highlight some benefits of using EDT-DT in a context where it's not absolutely required?!? (In my client's shop, the TSM servers are on AIX, the ACSLS is on its own Solaris box.)

However, if you are using LAN-Free clients in addition to your TSM server, where each client will access the same library as the TSM server, you need to obtain Gresham's EDT-DistribuTAPE product to enable this functionality. There are other reasons that you might want Gresham's EDT-DistribuTAPE in environments that do not involve LAN-Free clients and employ only a single TSM server but it isn't required as it is when using LAN-Free clients.

Does anyone hear about NCR's Teradata ?
Hi all TSM's: I implement Data warehouse solution recently and I encounter some backup problems. Did anyone hear about NCR's Teradata ? TSM doesn't support it now. Does anyone know how to backup it using TSM or other third-party software ? When will TSM support it ? Any response will be great helpful . Thanks. Michael Hsu
