Re: 3570 drive
Hello, I've seen errors like this before on our 3494 - with 3590's. Most of the errors are soft errors that are reported to AIX by the firmware. To get a better idea of what is really happening try this command. errpt -a ... This may give you a little more diagnostic info. The errors I really get concerned about are PERM errors.

Re: Reclamation is not happening - HELP! - Sorry
Bill, my fault. Thinking about many things wrote the wrong word (twice). I've read somewhere an explanation of this: thinking is much faster than speaking and only every fifth or tenth word goes out, so the results are looking silly (as I am). Sorry guys, I wanted to write expiration but wrote reclamation and misguided. On *expiration* files are compared to copygroup rules and *expiration* can take long for large number of files. Reclamation also can take long but it depends on many storage aspects and may vary.

When you set the storage pool to RECLAIM=something less than 100% TSM compares each tape volume in the storage pool with this value.

Re: DISASTER Client Restores Slow
It is up to you how to set-up the TSM server policies. If you prefer to save space on off-site tapes you have to pay a price and it is many tape mounts. If you want speedy restores as from primary tapes you can collocate off-site pool as well. An example: - business critical servers - primary collocated by filespace, copy collocated by node - important servers - primary collocated by node, copy not collocated - other servers (or notebook of financial manager saving on tapes :-) - not collocated both primary and copy Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by:ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Re: DISASTER Client Restores Slow I am sure TSM will wait. And while we're on this subject, we are looking at Disaster Recovery plans and the path we must take using TSM to recover a couple hundred servers. It looks bleak. We are finding that, due to incremental forever backups, recovery times are extremely long because of tape mount after tape mount after tape mount. In a real disaster, we expect to take an entire day or more to recover a single server. With a limited number of tape drives the recovery time required for 100 servers could take weeks.

Re: Reclamation is not happening - HELP!
Roger, I am not on a stable ground on this issue but always thought that reclamation threshold is compared to result set by expiration in VOLUMES table. So calculation is performed only once (during expiration - now I am careful which word am using :-). And later comparision is not expensive - you cannot have millions of volumes so the table is not big and is easy to traverse. And I think both migration and reclamation are fired same way and retried in a minute. Just an opinion. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by:ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Re: Reclamation is not happening - HELP! This happened to me once. After pulling what remains of my hair out, I tried simply restarting the server. That fixed it. Also remember that the server checks the list of volumes to see if they can be reclaimed only about once an hour. (It's costly to calculate.) So any changes you make to the threshold level might not cause reclamation to start until as much as an hour later.

yes/no tape question for os/390 server people
Hello, I have been running TSM 4.1 on z/OS for a year and a half now, (started on OS390 2.7). I wanted to take advantage of and follow the standard usage of our tape systems so I set up the TSM tape system in a way that I now question. I would like people to let me know if they are doing things like I am or not. If you would like to explain what you do, ood but please just let me know if I am out on my own with this. I am trying to determine if it is worth my time to change things. It is a little odd but here I go... I set up my 6 9840 tape drives with two different DEVICE definitions. I called one ONSITE9840 and the other OFFSITE9840. I did this because our entire CA1 Tape handling and STK SILO handling is based on the high level qualifier of the data set name on the first file of the tape. So I gave the 2 device classes different high level qualifiers, told the CA1 and STK software what I was doing and the normal running production system that put tapes in a vault pattern that has the offsite tapes go to our DR site with all the other tapes needed at DR was taken care of. No other special handling. It also took care of ejecting the tapes that were going offsite from the tape Silo system. No extra handling. I did have to add a step there to have TSM mark those tapes as OFSITE , that was it. I then would have my tape COPYPOOL use the OFFSITE9840 and the disk backuppoool migrate to the TAPEPOOL that used the ONSITE9840. The problems that seem to come from this is TSM thinks it has more tape drives than it does. SO TSM may start to do a disk to tape migration but it really doesn't have the tape drives available, yet (because they are busy making OFFSITE copies of backups). This of course makes scheduling much more difficult. And it has gotten ugly at times with server consolidations and the fact that I am running in ROLLFORWARD mode with version 4.1 and the 5GB log. So I am wondering if my life would be better if I really only defined to TSM the proper number of tape drives and let it handle some of its scheduling affairs, and I wrote all the procedures to handle the tapes coming and going affairs. (which of course will change the playing field for my schedules) SO DO YOU SET UP YOUR TSM TAPE HANDLING ON OS390 z/OS LIKE THIS ? Thanks Matt
Re: yes/no tape question for os/390 server people
Matt, Under os390 TSM does not know how many tape drives it has, it just calls for a tape resource when it wants one. We have os390 TSM server with DFRMM as the tape manager, but the principle is the same with dataset name prefix on the device class determining the destination of the tape. Basically we then use device mount limit and TSM scheduling to make the best use of the available tape drives. If you find that you are struggling to do this then you may need more drives.

Re: yes/no tape question for os/390 server people
Hi Matt, We set up different device classes, like you did. One for onsite tapes with an onsite HLQ, one for offsite tapes, with a offsite HLQ. Just like at your shop, everything here is handled automatically by high level qualifer. We let CA-1 (and STK Silo's like you) handle the tape movement. We just have TSM mark the tapes as access=offsite... so we do it how you're doing it, not how you propose to do it. We're not using roll-forward mode though.

un-register licenses?
Hello! Does anyone know if there is a way to un-register licenses to TSM without recycling the server and/or deleting the nodelock file (which requires registering ALL of the licenses again...I think)? I ran into the known apar where the 'register lic' command seemingly doesn't register licenses (tried to verify by 'q license'). So, after running it twice, I decided to look at the nodelock file and viola! there was 2X the number of licenses that I wanted to register. The 'q license' output still says that the licenses haven't been updated, and we are getting thousands of the 'out of compliance' messages in our actlog. We are running TSM server code 4.2.2 for AIX.

The 'q license' output still says that the licenses haven't been updated, and we are getting thousands of the 'out of compliance' messages in our actlog. We are running TSM server code 4.2.2 for AIX.

Re: Select Stmt? or Query
hi, maybe you will have something usefull on this script:
select severity,count(*) as TOTAAL from actlog where severity in
('E','W') AND cast((current_timestamp-date_time)hours as decimal (8,0)) 24
group by severity select date(date_time) as DATUM , time(date_time) as
TIJD , message as MESSAGE FROM actlog WHERE severity = 'E' AND msgno
NOT in
(0944,1455,1463,1464,1469,2000,2020,2022,2034,2165,2166,2305,2904,2905,2906,2908,2909,2911,2916,2938,2940)
AND cast((current_timestamp-date_time)hours as decimal (8,0)) 24
or
select nodename,message from actlog where (msgno=4961 or msgno=4964)AND
nodename='$1' AND cast((current_timestamp-date_time)hours as decimal (8,0))
24 order by nodename

Try something like
select date_time, message
from actlog
where nodename='MYNODE'
and date_time current timestamp - 12 hours
and msgno in (1234, 5678, 9876)
Just tune the where clause to select the messages that you want. Run this
in commadelimited mode and pipe the output through your scripting tool of
choice to give you a pretty report.

Hello All:
I have a unix client that kicks off an incremental backups thru tivoli
using an internal dump process for a sql database. I want to provide a
report to the group that monitors its backup. The only information they
care about is whether a filespace backed up successfully, what files
failed, and how much data was transferred. For the time being I am
running 'q actlog begind=-1 begint=18:00:00 sea='nodename', because we
try to schedule our backups between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. This is too much
information to run thru on a daily basis for them and they were hoping I
could trim down a report. Does anybody have a select statement or query
that comes close to the needs I have?
Thanks,
Bud Brown

Re: mtlib command
For serial numbers I use:
#!/bin/sh
for i in `lsdev -Cc tape | grep rmt | awk '{print $1}'`
do
serial=`lscfg -l $i -v | grep Serial Number | awk -F. '{print $16}'`
echo $i $serial
done
Which looks like:
# ./tape_serials
rmt0 00013329
rmt1 00013424
rmt2 00025601
rmt3 00028376
rmt4 000B4384
rmt5 000B4386
rmt6 000B1553

Good day all,
Somewhere I had documented an mtlib command that could be used to query
information about the drives attached to the system. With the changeover of
TSM servers it's hard to figure out what drive is what. I have identified a
few by looking in the side door of the 3494 when a tape got mounted.
Unfortunately I'll never be able to do this with the rest and have misplaced
my mtlib commands.
Can anyone send me the command gives info about the drive itself, as in
serial number, so I can match rmt(whatever) to it. All I can find is mtlib
-l /dev/lmcp0 -qD -f/dev/rmt6, and this one doesn't do it for me. I've got a
bad drive and need to locate it this way.
Thanks,

Re: Backups through a firewall
ALso depending on your firewal, you could always NAT the TSM server address. Through the firewall you could assign an OUTSIDE address that gets translated to the INSIDE address of the TSM server. You can also put rules to limit the connections through port 1500 only to the TSM server address. If you change the default port of 1500 for the TSM server you need to change ALL of your clients to use this new port number. If you use POLLING (which the TSM Clients manual says is the only supported schedmode for backups thru firewalls) then you only need the 1500 port open. I wouldn't recomment running the CAD server for webclient on those servers outside the firewall, either. Just gives those hackers another open port to play with...

If you use SCHEDMODE PROMPTED, I believe you also have to enable port 1501. If you want to use the web client to do TSM backups/restores remotely, that uses port 1581. All those ports are configurable, i.e., you can tell TSM client and server to use different ports if you want I would STRONGLY suggest to choose different ports. I believe there's a list out there, I think it's through IANA (www.iana.org - somebody please confirm that) that tells which port is 'registered' . Pick some free ports high up, preferably not next to each other (I would go pick like 7492, 9816 and 9752- handpicked these :) ). Wouldn't want some h*cker discovering you're using 1234 with some sec hole somewhere and let him just try 1235 and 1236, now would we? But hey, waddah I know, it's just my $.02 - maybe I'm wrong. At least someone on the list will tell you, and you'll never forget (and neither will I). Regards, Rick

Automating Scheduling service in OS/2
Hey All, I have a question relating to automating the scheduler on a os/2 client running TSM 3.7.2 client. What happens is upon boot up the os/2 machine calls a script which runs the following command dsmc schedule -password =password. The problem is that this command fails unless I have logged in with the dsm command. So what I do currently is when the machine boots up I issue the dsm command, I then specify the password manually and finally I run the dsmc command with the scheduler option. I been looking through the manuals to find a command or some configuration settings to solve this problem but I haven't been able to find anything yet. I am fairly new to TSM and I would appreciate any help anyone could give. Oh by the way the Server is a NT machine running TSM 4.2.1 thanks in advance Paul
