Geoffrey, all you have to do is check the activity log to see which tape the
library was trying to mount when the reclamation failed. The library is
trying to mount the primary pool tape that contains the copy of the file
that TSM is trying to reclaim.

This will delete ALL backup and Archive data for all filespaces
for this node, including any offsite "copytapes".

It starts a process that may run for many minutes depending on how

Re: Expire backups for retired node

[DFrance]

You could delete the node, but first you'll be required to delete the
filespaces in backup storage... "del fi nodename *" should do it -- after
you reply to the prompt asking "are you sure you want to do this?"... when
you're finished with that, then just "rem nod nodename" to delete the node.
(See "help del fi" and "he rem nod" for details.)

(very slow) delete dbv from raid-10?

[Sheelagh Treweek]

Hello all,

I have been experimenting with different disk layouts/volume sizes
for DB (on RS6000 M80, SSA) and want to accomplish two things with
this attempt : up the volume size to 4GB (from 2GB) and move from
raid-10 to JBOD and then mirror with TSM.  Simple, I thought, set
up new volumes, define to TSM and then delete old ones - voila,
TSM moves the data ... I've done this before but not for a long time.

But, it is taking approximately 40 minutes for each 2GB volume to move
and that is way longer than I would expect.   The DB is 100GB and is
currently on two raid-10 volumes.  On watching iostat as it goes, it
indicates that is reading from one raid-10 set (fine), and writing to
the new disk volume ... but as well it is also writing almost as much
to each of the two raid-10 sets (that make up the TSM DB).  I didn't
expect that to happen.

For comparison, when I have mirrored DB volumes, with 4 processes
running concurrently, I would see about 3-5 minutes for moving 8GB
- so 40+minutes for one delete dbv does seem excessive.

I have also done a little test on another box, without raid-10 and
that was much faster.  Is there anything about the raid-10 that I am
missing?

I'm giving up for today, and will try again next week.  If anyone has
any experience with this, particularly going from raid-10 to something
else, or a hint of what might be going on, I'd be glad to hear from you.

(TSM server level is 4.1.0.9 - not yet braved 5.1 in production ...
the little test was at 5.1.5.1)

Many thanks, Sheelagh

Re: Tape drive recomendations

[Steve Schaub]

If I'm reading this correctly, only migrating my diskpool down to 10% is
hurting my DRM reclamation?
Are you saying that putting in a 10TB diskpool that never goes to
primary tape (only dr copies) would give me monstrously bad
reclamations?  Our current main diskpool is 100gb on SSA and has caching
on.  I haven't had a terrible problem with DR reclamation, though the
storage pool backup to DRM only has a throughput of about 5mb/sec.

And the issue is still there if you don't use CACHE=YES but don't
completely clear your backup pool.

We have more disk in our storagepool than is required for one night's

thing (why migrate to tape if you don't need the space).

Be careful of your copypool reclamations with the disk cache turned on!!
There is a BIG performance hit on reclamation when the primary copy of
the file is on a DISK direct access storage pool. Then the
MOVESIZETHRESH and MOVEBATCHSIZE values are thrown out the window and
the files are processed one at a time.

What I've done to relieve the restore times is to not MIGRATE the disk
pools until the end of the day. That way restoring from last night is
quick. I had a client where they wanted CACHE=YES on a 60GB disk pool.
The offsite copypool reclamation ran for 2-days! Changed it so that
migration started at 5:00pm and nobody complained about restore times.

This is one reason I am looking into some of the new, cheaper ATA-based
disk arrays.  98% of restores come from the last few versions, so if you
can size the diskpool large enough (and turn caching on) that you rarely
need to go to tape, restores scream.  Some of the initial prices I am
seeing are < $10k per TB.  It's not SSA, but for a diskpool it might be
fast enough.

Our call on this is congealing: Use the LTO for less-often-read storage.
i.e.: copy pools.  If we can have primary pools on 3590s, we can get up
to 60G raw on the -K volumes.  That seems plenty at the moment.

We can use the 200G-raw (coming soon!) LTO volumes for copies, and read
from them correspondingly less often.

LTO drives are, at the very least, a cheap way to increase your drive
count.

Re: Can't delete filespace

THis is common - started with the UNICODE filespace support - you can see
that each filespace now has a numeric id, as well as a name.  You can add
the FSID parm to your delete command and it will work:

DELETE  FILESPACE NODENAME  number NAMETYPE=FSID

Or if you will do it through the admin GUI, it will work because the admin

Re: HELP ON wzrdhlpr.exe command lIn TSM (Tivoli storage manager) 5.1?

wzrdhlpr.exe is just an Admin command line interface in disguise that is

as the dsmadmc executable that ships with the TSM clients (except NetWare
and, I'm pretty sure, Mac, don't have an Admin interface).

Is the performance comparison from the stats ITSM gives at the end of the

I'd expect the network transfer rate to be about the same, but the
aggregate to be faster on the restore (unless it's a fairly small restore).

Yowie -

I bet you take the prize, indeed, for # of storage pools.
At the physics lab I organize by domain; I group clients into domains
either by owner, where I have remote owners/administrators, so I can
give remote admins control over passwords, schedules, even management
classes.  Or, I group clients into domains by reporting groups. (i.e.,
they are clients I manage, but I want to divide them into groups because
it makes it easier for me to generate reports by group).   BUT, I send
most of them into the same storage pools.  That lets them have control
over what they should have control over (business requirements and
access), and gives me control over what I should have control over -
hardware, server capacity, performance, and media movement for DR.

for each
unit I've allocated a storage pool for each of our major device classes,
so I
can give the local admins some control over their stuff, without letting
them

This has added up to 126 stgpools, serving roughly 28 clients, and

Our restores have increased dramatically from 31.81 GB/hr (8.84 MB/s) to 56
GB/hr (15.6 MB/s).  The backups are still around 35.5 GB/hr (9.8 MB/s).  The
TSM server is very powerful (NT 4.0 SP6a Dual 1.8 Ghz P4 w/ 4GB RAM, 150 GB
RAID array) and the clients are (Netware 4.2 Quad XEON P3 w/ 4 GB RAM).
(We've tried changing the TCPWindow Size in our dsmserv.opt from 63 to 2048
with no effect) We're running TSM 5.1.1.4 server and TSM 4.2.3 netware
client.   Any
ideas?  Please email me direct if you have any suggestions or need more
information.  Thanks.

I can download the 5.1.5.1 patch for the TSM Windows server from

Expire backups for retired node

[Braich, Raminder]

Hi,
  How can I expire all the backups and versions of a particular node which
is going to be retired shortly. We do not need to keep any of the backed up
data. I still have not deleted the node from TSM server.

This is true *if* LTO tapes are in the mix. Apparently the aforementioned
situation, in conjunction with the LTO backhitch process, makes for *slow*
reclamations.

You can also do a move data on the disk volumes. That will clear the cache
on an adhoc basis.

Subject: TDP for SQL Backup Issue

I've been struggling with a problem with various TDP for SQL clients for
about 12 months now. Although it manifests itself when performing TDP
backups, the problem is actually with SQL Server's VDI - Microsoft's
virtual device interface.

The problem occurs when SQL Server's MemToLeave area becomes so badly
fragmented that there is insufficient contiguous space to allocate the
buffers required for the VDI backups. The result is that TDP backups fail
until the server is restarted.

When the backups fail, the following error appears in the SQL Server
ErrorLog:
 2002-10-30 08:50:32.18 kernel   BackupVirtualDeviceSet::Initialize:
SetConfiguration failure on backup device 'TDPSQL-0466-'. Operating
system error -2147024888(error not found).
while the following corresponding error occurs in the VDI.LOG:
 2002/10/30 08:50:32 pid(567)
 Error on TDPSQL-0466-
 Error at SVDS::SetConfiguration: Map buffers Status Code: 8, x8
 Explanation: Not enough storage is available to process this command.

Observation suggests that some SQL servers stay up longer than others
before the backups start failing. The factors that seem to make the server
fail more quickly are:
- large amount of data backed up and/or high backup frequency;
- large SQLBuffersize parameter in TDPSQL.CFG;
- using more than one stripe to perform TDP backups;
- many linked server operations;

Although I initially suspected a memory leak was causing the problem, I am
now satisified that the problem is solely down to memory fragmentation.

Microsoft's latest suggestion to alleviate the problem is to increase the
MemToLeave area using the '-g' SQL Server startup switch. This was
introduced in Service Pack 2 for SQL Server 7.0. The proposal is to
increase the value from the default value of 128 to 256 and I'm going to
start implementing this tonight.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this as a solution? I'm worried that it
may be more of a work-round than a fix. Does anybody have experience of
this kind of fragmentation who could share their solution.

Thanks

Can't delete filespace

converted to ntfs and expanded C drive. During all this
  we took a couple of backups that I would like to now delete. What I
did is rename the node after each step. I am now trying
  to delete those nodes but I am getting an error message saying that no
matching file spaces found. I can bring the data up
 if I rename the client to the name of the node I want to delete. Do I
need to put something special in the delete command.

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
When using the Web Admin Gui with a version 4.2 or 5.1 server

Attempting an operation such as deleting one of these volumes

Do not use the Web Admin GUI to perform volume operations when

Check your speed and duplex settings for the Exchange server, the TSM
server, and the switch ports that are used to connect the two servers to the
network. Betchas at least one of them is set to "autonegotiate", rather than
hardset to a proper speed.

Volumes not deleting from volume history file.

[Michael Moore]

We are running v4.2.2.12, on OS/390 v2.10.

We had this problem with an earlier version of TSM, but it seems, that it
is back!

I have several (hundred) backupset tapes, that have been deleted from the
database, but not from the volume history.

IBM has a PTF for v4.2.1 (UQ65585), but I am on v4.2.2.12.

I can put in a delete backupset command, but , our retention periods vary
from node to node.

Any other solutions out there?

There is no ftp site for base-level server code, which 5.1.5 is for TSM.

You need to climb the Tivoli bureaucratic ladder. I don't know about Canada,
but in the U.S., there's not a Tivoli rep living that can't get you an eval
copy of the software (or at least get in touch with someone who can). They
may not *choose* to, but they have access to the stuff. Stay persistent.

Are you trying to go to a page within www.tivoli.com, or did you actually

I have just figured out that Norton has a new version 7.61.939 that solves problems 
with TSM and backups.  There is a
check box in this new version that "opened for backup" box is available.  Once we 
upgraded our Norton and pushed out the
new client our backup issues were fixed.

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you are having problems with Norton you can 
upgrade to a new version and it may

With a SAN agent we have achieved 24.2 MB/sec on TDP for Exchange for an

My guess is your anti-virus software or network connection are a problem.

Re: www.tivoli.com gone???

[Jason A. Specland]

The "magic powers" you speak of is the fact that IBM is probably a slave
DNS server for tivoli.com, and has a local copy of their ns records.

The primary DNS server, uugate.tivoli.com, is not currently pingable.

The secondary DNS server, auth02.ns.uu.net, which is supposed to be
authoritative for tivoli.com, isn't.  It's pointing people back at
a.root-servers.net and company.

This is a lovely illustration of why you should make sure that the
nameserver you designate as your secondary, really IS your secondary.

Re: journaling on a cluster

[Pete Tanenhaus]

I'm a bit disappointed word hasn't gotten out, but support for clustering
 was implemented in client release 5.1.0.

Several new configurations settings were added to allow resources to be
journaled on multiple nodes within a cluster.

The new settings are DeferFsMonStart, DeferRetyInterval, and logFsErrors.

The JouralDir also now (as of 5.1) may be specified for individual
journaled file systems.

The DeferFsMonStart setting allows the journal service to bring journaled
resources
online or offline dynamically when the availability of the resource
changes.

If this setting is on and a resource being journaled becomes unavailable
(as in the case of a
cluster failover or moving the resource to another node in the cluster) the
resource will be
taken offline and placed in defer mode.

If the resource becomes available it will be brought online and journaling
of it will continue
(and if the PreserveDbOnExit setting is on it will remain valid and a
Journal Based Backup
can continue with first doing a full incremental).

Journaled resources with the DeferFsMonStart specified are checked at the
interval specified
by the DeferRetryInterval setting (the value of this setting is in
seconds).

The logFsErrors setting suppresses errors generated due to  resources being
unavailable
from being logged to both the TSM error log and the NT application
eventlog.

In a cluster environment, one journal service should be running on each
node in the cluster,
and shared resources to be journaled should be configured the same on both
services
(with the defer settings).

Also the journal of the shared resources must reside in a location which is
accessible by all
nodes in the cluster, which is why the JournalDir setting now may be
specify a different location
for each resource via an override stanza.

If the global JouralDir setting under the JournaledSettings stanza
specifies a drive letter (i.e c:\tsmjournal)
all journals will reside in the drive letter\directory specified by the
setting.

If the global setting does not contain a drive letter (i.e \tsmjournal) the
journal for each
journaled resource will be located in the specified directory on each
journaled resource.

Below are sample configuration stanza's  for a cluster environment:


[JournalSettings]
; directory where journals for local resources are located
JournalDir=c:\tsmJournal.local

;  Override settings for shared journaled filesystem D:
;
;  This setting overrides settings in JournaledFileSystemSettings stanza
;
[JournaledFileSystemSettings.D:\]
; directory where journals for shared resources are stored
JournalDir=d:\tsmjournal.shared
; Keep journal valid if goes offline
PreserveDBOnExit=1
; Allow resource to go offline and come back online
DeferFsMonStart=1
; Check resource availability every 30 seconds
DeferRetryInterval=30
; Don't log errors generated while check resource availability
logFsErrors=0


Hope this helps and please post again if there are additional questions

If I remember corectly journaling is not supported on W2K Cluster

You should be aware that the TSM Journaling Engine service is not
supported in MS Cluster server. Only one TSm Journaling Engine Service may
be installed on a machine and the TSM Journaling Engine Service can not

Journaling Again

[Pete Tanenhaus]

The big clue (other than not seeing the message) that journal based backup
is not happening is the
large number of objects inspected.

Since jbb only backs up objects in the journal the number of objects
inspected should be very close
the number of objects actually backed up.

Since I seriously doubt that 4,000,000+ objects changed on the file system
being backed up, journal based
backup probably wasn't used for one the reasons outlined in my append of a
couple days ago.

I encourage you to keep trying to get it to work as you will get a serious
performance gain with a file system
that large (assuming that amount of change activity is reasonable) ..

last 30 days, we have received a few emails about our planned move.
Some concerns and some good questions were asked about the steps involved
in moving to this new site.    The concerns primarily have been about 'Ask
Tivoli' and the need to have a simple cross product search available on
IBM.    If you have not visited our new site yet, all information is
segmented into individual  product pages.   Each page is really  a complete
product reference for getting all available information for one product,
but they don't support searching across the solutions for several Tivoli
products.

 In response to this feedback, we have updated the home page for Tivoli
support, with a new simple search bar.    To give it a try, here is the
URL:
 http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/   As you will see,
this search bar will ask you to provide key words and select a
topic.    You can select the high level topic, like 'Systems Management' or
a specific discipline within a category.    This will help you do broader
searches without getting records from the whole portfolio of IBM Software
Products.   This is really just a specific use of some significant new
search engine and data base indexing enhancements IBM.com deployed 3 weeks
ago.   We hope you like it as this is a more accurate level of search
isolation than we provided in Tivoli's support site.

To help with the special questions for registration, we are providing
attachments from this memo you can print off.  The Lotus and Microsoft
files both contain the same detail.  Please review these closely.
(See attached file: Registration Instructions MS.doc)(See attached file:
Registration Instructions WP.lwp)

If you do continue to use the www.tivoli.com/support site, you will begin
to see other changes.
-We will be removing the 'Ask Tivoli' feature during the month of
October.
-We have migrated most content to IBM Online Software Support, and are
continuing to add hundreds of new items every month to the IBM site.
-The extensive reference materials for the IBM Tivoli Storage products are
all available from the IBM site with special references on the product
specific     pages.   The data on Tivoli.com/support for Storage products
is no longer being updated.
-The Tivoli problem submission tool will be removed by November 1st, or
shortly after.   This is replaced by ESR on IBM Online Software Support.
-Final content migrations are being addressed for the older downloads data,
but new downloads are being delivered to the IBM site.
-As we near the closing of the Tivoli.com/Support site, the URL's for all
the key areas will be transferred through redirects to the IBM site.

Thank you for all the feedback provided so far.     We are very interested
in your input and it continues to affect our current and future enhancement
plans for your online support options!   We know you placed a lot of value
in the Tivoli.com/support site and have appreciated all the positive survey
feedback provided in the past.    We know moving to a new information
layout presents some challenges, but once you've gained some familiarity,
we hope you find this a better total solution.    We also have a number of
common links always available in the 'Left' and 'Right' navigation bars, so
take a few minutes to get familiar with those options as well.    They will
help you shortcut your way to specific information, without needing to
retrace your steps to the home page.

As changes are delivered to both the Tivoli and IBM web site online support
locations, additional communications will be sent to you.   We also want to
hear from you as you find ways to improve this site.   Our Online Software
Support is not only getting a new look, but a much more significant focus
on continuing improvements and finding out how we can serve you better
online!

As you do access the new Tivoli support location for IBM Online Software
Support, please note that a feedback option is always available in the left
navigation bar.

We value your business and are working to make this migration a positive
improvement in the level of online support you can expect from IBM.

Thanks for adding that, I forgot to include that info.  But I was assuming that this 
setting had not been changed and was defaulting to not preserve the database.

In Version 5.1, a new parameter was introduced in the tsmjbbd.ini file

Re: resource utilization

[Steve Schaub]

We set it to 5 for servers that have the cpu/memory/os capable of
handling multiple concurrent backup streams, and leave it at 2 for those
that are borderline.  For a beefy machine with multiple filespaces,
setting it higher will definitely improve backup elapsed times.  But it
can put a big strain on smaller machines.

For arguments sake lets say it is, although I turned journaling on last week
so I would have thought it would have done its thing by now, unless I was to
forcefully do something I didn't.

Re: Journaling Again

[Andrew Raibeck]

Geoff,

Make sure you are not using the QUIET option (just in case you are). QUIET
is nice when things are going well, but it is best to not use it when
diagnosing problems. Assuming that you are not using QUIET, then make sure
you see the 'Using Journal for ...' messages. If the messages are not
there, then a couple of things occur to me:

1) Was this the first incremental backup you ran after turning on
journaling? If so, then this is normal: the first backup will be a full
incremental (not to be confused with full backup) so that the journal
database(s) and server can be synched. Or did you do anything else (like
reboot) that may have caused the journal to require resynchronization?

2) Do you have all desired drives configured to use journaled backup, via
the JournaledFileSystems parameter? What does your tsmjbbd.ini file look
like?

Andy

4.3.2.0 Server Level

[Danny Miles]

I'm finally getting around to building our new 4.2.x TSM IBM M80  AIX 4.3.3 server 
(this box has been sitting for about 9 months) next week and wanted to ask for 
opinions about which level I should take it to.  For me, this is a big jump since I've 
been living with a 3466 Netstore running 3.7.3.6 for a long time!

This will be a new install and not a migrate from a previous install.  I see that 
4.3.2.0 is out there but I have seen a few complaints on the list but I'm not sure 
what type of installs they were or if that made a difference.  I'm thinking that if 
4.2.3.0 is stable, then I could avoid the 'System Object' issue I hear about when 
folks move to V5.

I see the 4.2.3.0 version on the ftp site is dated 10/14/02 and wonder if this has 
been updated at all.

Any suggestions, opinions, ideas by anyone will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Danny.

Re: HELP! Faster Restore than Backups over Gigabit?

Is the performance comparison from the stats ITSM gives at the end of the

I'd expect the network transfer rate to be about the same, but the

Re: resource utilization

[Andrew Raibeck]

Joseph,

I am not aware of any "IBM position" per se. RESOURCEUTILIZATION is simply
another "tuning knob" that was added to the product. Like any other
setting, the decision of when and how to use it is up to you.

Should you add it to your dsm.opt file? It depends. If your backups are
running fine the way they are, then I see no reason to add it ("if it
ain't broke, don't fix it" is a good rule of thumb). On the other hand, if
your backups are taking longer than necessary, then it is an option to
help improve throughput. The advantages are that it offers a "divide and
conquer" approach to processing your file systems since it will start
multiple, concurrent backup sessions to process different parts of your
file systems. But there is no "free lunch". Some of the costs associated
with multiple backup sessions include: more CPU and disk I/O on the client
machine, heavier use of network bandwidth, heavier TSM server utilization,
and so on.

I'm sure that others will have more to add on this subject.

Andy

Re: Journaling Again

One other thing to check - has this file system had a full progressive
incremenatal backup made against it? Look at the filespace with a 'q
filespace' command and check to see whether or not their is data in the
Last Backup Completed Date/Time field. A full progressive backup must have
been done in order for journalling to work.

[Miller, Ryan]

If you stop and restart the service, then tonight's backup will be a full incremental. 
 The journal service has to be running continuously between 2 backups or TSM will 
always default to a full incremental.

Document Number SH35-0125-02

 snip
3.12 DIRMC
 
Use the DIRMC option to specify the management class you want ADSM to use
for directories.  If you do not use this option to associate a management
class with directories, ADSM uses the management class in the active
policy set of your policy domain that specifies the longest retention
period.
 
When choosing a management class for directories, be sure to choose one
that allows ADSM to retain directories at least as long as it retains the
files associated with them.
 
To display information about the management classes available in your
active policy set, you can click on Utilities on the Action bar, then
click on Display policy information.

mgmt_class_name
 Specifies the name of the management class you want to associate with
 directories.  ADSM uses the management class you specify for all
 directories it backs up.  If you do not use this option, the
 management class with the longest retention period is associated with
 directories.

I can still get to it, and though I work for IBM, I am not aware of any

Are you trying to go to a page within www.tivoli.com, or did you actually 
try the main www.tivoli.com page? Try the main page to see if you can get 
to it. If that doesn't work, then try flushing your web browser cache, 
restart the browse, and try the main page again.

Re: TDP for SQL Backup Issue

Neil,

We had the same problem began to pop up on a few of our SQL servers as well.
After working with Tivoli and MS, the start up switch recommended by MS is

Subject: TDP for SQL Backup Issue


I've been struggling with a problem with various TDP for SQL clients for
about 12 months now. Although it manifests itself when performing TDP
backups, the problem is actually with SQL Server's VDI - Microsoft's
virtual device interface.

The problem occurs when SQL Server's MemToLeave area becomes so badly
fragmented that there is insufficient contiguous space to allocate the
buffers required for the VDI backups. The result is that TDP backups fail
until the server is restarted.

When the backups fail, the following error appears in the SQL Server
ErrorLog:
 2002-10-30 08:50:32.18 kernel   BackupVirtualDeviceSet::Initialize:
SetConfiguration failure on backup device 'TDPSQL-0466-'. Operating
system error -2147024888(error not found).
while the following corresponding error occurs in the VDI.LOG:
 2002/10/30 08:50:32 pid(567)
 Error on TDPSQL-0466-
 Error at SVDS::SetConfiguration: Map buffers Status Code: 8, x8
 Explanation: Not enough storage is available to process this command.

Observation suggests that some SQL servers stay up longer than others
before the backups start failing. The factors that seem to make the server
fail more quickly are:
- large amount of data backed up and/or high backup frequency;
- large SQLBuffersize parameter in TDPSQL.CFG;
- using more than one stripe to perform TDP backups;
- many linked server operations;

Although I initially suspected a memory leak was causing the problem, I am
now satisified that the problem is solely down to memory fragmentation.

Microsoft's latest suggestion to alleviate the problem is to increase the
MemToLeave area using the '-g' SQL Server startup switch. This was
introduced in Service Pack 2 for SQL Server 7.0. The proposal is to
increase the value from the default value of 128 to 256 and I'm going to
start implementing this tonight.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this as a solution? I'm worried that it
may be more of a work-round than a fix. Does anybody have experience of
this kind of fragmentation who could share their solution.

Thanks

When did DIRMC come about?

[Bill Boyer]

Does anyone know at what ADSM or TSM level DIRMC was added?

We have a potential TSM outsource contract, but the client has LOTS of old
TSM 3.7 and ADSM 3.1.xx versions..I'm talking 100's of 'em. Until we can get
them all rolled over to a supported release, I would like to implement DIRMC
to help them in their restore process, but I don't know/remember what level
DIRMC started being supported. My write-only memory seems to be stopping
short of what-I-had-for-breakfast these days. :-)

Reclamation failure

[Gill, Geoffrey L.]

Why would reclamation fail on an offsite volume that is out of the library
where it should be, in the Vault? Of course the storage media is
inaccessible!

10/30/02 22:21:42 ANR1081W Space reclamation terminated for volume
U02628 -
   storage media inaccessible.


I guess the question is, is it looking for a tape that's unavailable that's
supposed to be in the library and is not? If it is why doesn't it report
which one?

I am colocating some of the pools, and not others; For instance, my
workstations usually have far, far less than one tape.  Noncolocated.  Many of
my central servers nearly occupy a tape.  At least one, I've colocated by
(virtual) filespace, to split up a 350GB server into nice bite-size pieces.

Re: TSM 5.1.1.0

[Tao Jiang]

Hi, all,

I update it from 5.1.1.0 to 5.1.5.1, and restore db, but space is still not
sufficient. so I format it:
dsmserv format 1 log1.dsm 9 1 db1.dsm 50. and restore db succeed.
I am not sure if ANR2958E will happen again.

Does V5 have database size problem? I don't have it on v4.2.1.0 at all.

(ANR2958E SQL temporary table storage has been exhausted..)

Maybe keeping on 4.2.1.0 is not a bad idea, right?

Re: binding WWN and SCSI on NT with QLOGIC QLA2200

[Dirk Billerbeck]

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: binding WWN and SCSI on NT with QLOGIC QLA2200

I would like the specifics on this as well. What is the version of 
the utility that allows you to do this Paul? Do you have a url that I could 
look at that would provide some additional doc on it?

We've been working this same problem with the Qlogic 2300's.  We downloaded
a new version of the utility that is supposed to let you save the mapping.
I'll get the version, and post back.  After some preliminary testing (moving
library to different port on swith, etc...) it appears to be working...

Re: Journaling Again

[Dave Canan]

I usually do 2 things to verify whether or not a journaled backup
has taken place:

1. First of all, look in the dsmsched.log file and look to see if
you have the message:

Using journal for '\\xxx-\c$'

If you see this message, a journaled backup has taken place for
that filespace. You should see this message
at the start of the backup.

2. Verify that the journal size is adequate. If you see a message
like the following in the jbberror.log,  your journal size (specified by
parameter JournalDBSize in tsmjbbd.ini) is set too low. If you take the
default (as specified by Pete Tanenhaus
in previous posts as a recommendation) you should not have this problem.

Re: TSM 5.1.5.1 backups last night

Geoffrey,

Any chance that expiration is running during this time? We saw some similar
messages ( ANR0538I A resource waiter has been aborted ) with 5.1.1.1. Ended
up at 5.1.1.4 for now which cleared that up. Been watching your comments and
others before going to the latest and greatest 5.X.

Subject: TSM 5.1.5.1 backups last night


For all of those interested in following how this version is doing I'd like
to pass on some things I found in my backups last night.

1.I had a missed backup that I found had the scheduler stopped. So
I'm not sure why I see this in the log for it.

10/31/2002 01:41:51  ANR0406I Session 7978 started for node 
  (WinNT) (Tcp/Ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(2857)).

2.There were 7 failed backups, and from what I can tell, all show
this error in the actlog.
10/30/2002 23:52:14  ANR0538I A resource waiter has been aborted.

10/30/2002 23:52:14  ANR0918E Inventory Query Backup for node XXX

  terminated - lock conflict.

3. All 7 did send data and show this in the log but also show the error
code below after the backup report.
10/31/2002 00:06:10  ANR2579E Schedule CLIENT_M-F in domain NT_DOM for
node
   failed (return code 4).


4.I had a missed backup that started shows this in the log, then
reported missed.

10/31/2002 00:03:52  ANR0482W Session 7505 for node  (SUN

  SOLARIS) terminated - idle for more than 60
minutes.

5.There was yet one more that reported missed, that had the
scheduler running, did not answer up, but then shows this in the log. By the
way this schedule runs from 8PM to 10PM.

Upgrade to TSM 5.1.1.6?

[Bruce Kamp]

Planning on upgrading next week from 4.1.4.5 on AIX 4.3.3 ML10 (don't like
being on a version that is not supported!!)
Is there any way around the system objects problem?
Delete existing system objects & start backing them up again after the
upgrade?
Anything else I need to be aware of?

Thanks,

Re: AW: HELP: In TSM (Tivoli storage manager) 5.1 querying its databs e thorugh java code

[murali ramaswamy]

Hi,
 Thanks for pointing this out.  So the Subscription manager is different
from Storage Manager with respect to database they use.  If it is same or
similar database then still the tool could work to get information from
database in Tivoli Storage Manager right?  Does anyone know (or can you ask
someone in IBM as it is IBM's) about this?
Thanks for the help.

If I remember corectly journaling is not supported on W2K Cluster
server... or was not until recently (I found this on the list when I was
looking for the same info):

You should be aware that the TSM Journaling Engine service is not
supported in MS Cluster server. Only one TSm Journaling Engine Service may
be installed on a machine and the TSM Journaling Engine Service can not
dynamically start/stop monitoring shared disk.

CLOPTSET or Client Options Set

Hi,

We are running TSM Server 4.1.6 on OS390 with a variety of
NT/UNIX/NetWare/Sun Solaris/etc. clients.

I know it's not rocket science but, I am having a hard time with my
inclexcl lists on the server side

my question for today is how do I do an include for the SYSTEM OBJECTS
pointing to a different management class (for lesser retention purposes)
and where in the sequence is it best placed.

Thanks,

Re: journaling on a cluster

[Etienne Brodeur]

If I remember corectly journaling is not supported on W2K Cluster
server... or was not until recently (I found this on the list when I was
looking for the same info):

You should be aware that the TSM Journaling Engine service is not
supported in MS Cluster server. Only one TSm Journaling Engine Service may
be installed on a machine and the TSM Journaling Engine Service can not
dynamically start/stop monitoring shared disk.

Re: HELP! Faster Restore than Backups over Gigabit?

[Vin Yam]

We've tried using 524MB and 131MB for our bufferpool size with no effect.
Our logpool size is 8MB.  We have 99 percent db hit percentage.  We aren't
using TSM mirroring on the db or log.  The primaries (2GB) on the client are
on the same bus as the fiber adapter connected to the drive array housing
most of our data (40GB).  The TSM server boots off of the external drives
(10 x 36GB drives = 360 in RAID 1E = 180GB) connected to the ServeRAID 4Mx
adapter.  The 4Mx adapter is on its own 64 bit bus.  Here is our dsmserv

You have lots of RAM, but what is your bufferpool size.  For this size of
machine memory, I would use at least 256MB for the bufferpool size.  Also
beef up the logpool size as well.  Your TSM DB and log are very small.  Do a
Q DB F=D command and see what your database hit percentage is.  If it is
less than 98 percent you need to increase the bufferpool.

Did you TSM mirror the Database and Log?  If so, it is probably useless
because you are already running protected disk.  Remember, on RAID 1 you
still have to write all data twice and on read back both drives can be used
as a source if the RAID card is smart enough to do that.

I am betting that you are overrunning the RAID card during the backup.  Are
the RAID 1 mirror volumes on the same physical SCSI bus as the primaries?
That could be the issue as well.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Our backups are set for an absolute serialization.  We backup and restore
the same number of files and the same amount of data 42 GB.  The TSM server
is configured in a RAID 1E0 with a ServeRAID 4Mx adapter.  The client is
using a RAID 1.  We are going straight to disk since our diskpool is 150 GB.
We've tried formatting the partition that the diskpool is on in 64k blocks,
but it hasn't proved much help.

Is there a case where the TSM DB can be TOO large?  Our TSM DB volume is 1
GB in size and our recovery log is 250 MB in size.  We have 4 GB of RAM on
the TSM server, so we didn't consider this to be a problem.  Thanks for any
help.  Please email me if you need more information.

Someone else will have to give the particulars on that.

Be careful comparing restores to backups.  Depending on what numbers you are
using, you may get the wrong conclusions.  Make sure it is the same files
backed up that were restored.  Also, look at where your backup is going to
on your server.  If it is going to RAID-5 storage pools, that is it.  The
write penalty on the RAID-5 Array is the cause of the backup delay.  If you
are going directly to tape, I do not know what the issue is without a lot
more information.

TSM 5.1.5.1 backups last night

[Gill, Geoffrey L.]

For all of those interested in following how this version is doing I'd like
to pass on some things I found in my backups last night.

1.I had a missed backup that I found had the scheduler stopped. So
I'm not sure why I see this in the log for it.

Re: Tape drive recomendations

[Rushforth, Tim]

And the issue is still there if you don't use CACHE=YES but don't completely
clear your backup pool.

We have more disk in our storagepool than is required for one night's
incremental - so we thought keeping some backups on disk was a good thing
(why migrate to tape if you don't need the space).

Be careful of your copypool reclamations with the disk cache turned on!!
There is a BIG performance hit on reclamation when the primary copy of the
file is on a DISK direct access storage pool. Then the MOVESIZETHRESH and
MOVEBATCHSIZE values are thrown out the window and the files are processed
one at a time.

What I've done to relieve the restore times is to not MIGRATE the disk pools
until the end of the day. That way restoring from last night is quick. I had
a client where they wanted CACHE=YES on a 60GB disk pool. The offsite
copypool reclamation ran for 2-days! Changed it so that migration started at
5:00pm and nobody complained about restore times.

This is one reason I am looking into some of the new, cheaper ATA-based
disk arrays.  98% of restores come from the last few versions, so if you
can size the diskpool large enough (and turn caching on) that you rarely
need to go to tape, restores scream.  Some of the initial prices I am
seeing are < $10k per TB.  It's not SSA, but for a diskpool it might be
fast enough.

Our call on this is congealing: Use the LTO for less-often-read storage.
i.e.: copy pools.  If we can have primary pools on 3590s, we can get up
to 60G raw on the -K volumes.  That seems plenty at the moment.

We can use the 200G-raw (coming soon!) LTO volumes for copies, and read
from them correspondingly less often.

LTO drives are, at the very least, a cheap way to increase your drive
count.

Re: HELP! Faster Restore than Backups over Gigabit?

[Rushforth, Tim]

It's been mentioned that it is probably the RAID5 on your TSM storage pool.
To rule out TSM, simply do a FTP from the client to the same disks on the
server and see what throughput you get.

Hi,

We are backing up to the TSM's 150 GB Diskpool and restoring from the 150 GB
Diskpool as well.  Although we haven't tried to back up straight to tape
(the DLT library has 2 DLT IV drives), we still can't explain why restores
from diskpool are faster than the backups using Gigabit.  Our backups have
ALWAYS been 10-20% faster.  Have other Gigabit users seen this kind of
performance or instance of faster restores?  Thanks in advance.

Hello Vin,
our tsm-server is just on gigabit and some of the clients are also
there. My guess is that your restore - performance is just
showing what your drive can read ( maybe magstar - drives ? ).
I just assume that you are restorung from tape ... because i got nearly
exact the same throughput when using 1 tape for restore over gigabit.
I also have slower backups, but thats because of a maybe-not-optimal-tuned
disk-pool ( ssa-mirrored) whre our backups are running to.
You just may try backing up direct to tape and see a difference ?

Re: Does IBM want us to make local client libraries?

[Davidson, Becky]

I would disagree with their lack of communications.  With the Tivoli news
information was sent out on almost a weekly basis.  They also offered a free
online class introducing people to the new web area.  I was the only one on
the conference call I attended so I got a personal tour of everything.  I
think they did communicate thingsmaybe not on this list or only if you
received the Tivoli news but the changes were communicated.  It sounds like
there was some definite growing pains on the changes.

The real problem here is not that IBM has changed things. The real
problem is the serious lack of communications about the changes. One of
the first things you learn in project management is the importance of
communications with your user community. This is something that IBM
totally missed the boat on. All of the communications is now happening
after people have encountered problems. This should have happened much
earlier in the process.

Now re. the logon, in my discussions with IBM/Tivoli, access to the TSM
client download is still supposed to happen without a logon. That is the
way it works right now on the new site and I understand that it is to
remain that way. Now Logon will be required for other things like:
reporting problems, accessing apars and all of the stuff that you had to
logon for in the past.

One of the major issues I continue to hound IBM about on their download
sites is there is no way to subscribe to a change page.  So, you have no
idea when code is made available.

Now to the subject of local versus IBM client software.  Every site
needs to
control the introduction of the client levels to their environments.
You
are probably blasting your users with a notification to go to the IBM
site
to download the latest client and what level to use.  But, consider
this,
your internet access is probably overwhelmed every time you do this with
hundreds of users downloading this large client.

In our case we are very controlled on client levels and use SMS on
Windows,
so we do use a site repository.

What I really think we want is a way for a user to subscribe to the TSM
server for the latest client and the TSM server provides it with the
ability
to reinstall the previous for the customers that are not doing SMS or
other
central software control.  We also need the ability to push from the TSM
server to the client the next time it connects.

This all said you have very valid concerns.  IBM has not thought through
how
their site was being used before.  They do need to get the software
distribution under some kind of control.  That is just good business,
but
not at the expense of disrupting our operations.  Yes, we may have to
make
some adjustments to evolve to a controlled software distribution model,
but
at least we would have input to the design and solution and an idea what

Hi Chris
I see you have 100MB full duplex, but are you sure that your NICs (both in
TSM Server and Exch. server) and the switchports are set to 100 Full Duplex,
and NOT to automatic - in which case it still will use 100MB fd, but at a
terrible efficiancy cost.

Check this and check it again would be my best advice.

Re: Multiple sessions per tape

[Mr. Lindsay Morris]

1. hundreds of clients can simultaneously back up to a disk pool.  Only four
clients can back up simultaneously to a library with four tape drives.

2. Tape drives perform horribly if they stop and start frequently.  If you
can stream the data to them fast enough to keep them busy ,they perform very
well.  One client going over a network cannot keep up with a tape drive, so
ithe drive stops and starts and perfomrs badly.  But weh nthe TSM server
migrates the disk pool to tape, it WILL feed the tape drive fast enough to
get good performance out of it.

3. If you cache your disk pool, next-day restores can come directly from
disk - much faster than tape.

Hope this helps.

Re: Multiple sessions per tape

[Gianluca Perilli]

Using  a disk pool in between has some advantages: first of all if you want
to backup clients directly to tape you can run a number of sessions that
cannot be bigger  than the number of available tape drives; furthermore
using disks you have the possibility to exploit the disk throughput that is
bigger than the tape one.
The advantage is particurarly higher as much as the files are smaller,
while it decrease when backing up the bigger files (like DBs files for
example).

Re: Tape drive recomendations

[Bill Boyer]

Be careful of your copypool reclamations with the disk cache turned on!!
There is a BIG performance hit on reclamation when the primary copy of the
file is on a DISK direct access storage pool. Then the MOVESIZETHRESH and
MOVEBATCHSIZE values are thrown out the window and the files are processed
one at a time.

What I've done to relieve the restore times is to not MIGRATE the disk pools
until the end of the day. That way restoring from last night is quick. I had
a client where they wanted CACHE=YES on a 60GB disk pool. The offsite
copypool reclamation ran for 2-days! Changed it so that migration started at
5:00pm and nobody complained about restore times.

This is one reason I am looking into some of the new, cheaper ATA-based
disk arrays.  98% of restores come from the last few versions, so if you
can size the diskpool large enough (and turn caching on) that you rarely
need to go to tape, restores scream.  Some of the initial prices I am
seeing are < $10k per TB.  It's not SSA, but for a diskpool it might be
fast enough.

Our call on this is congealing: Use the LTO for less-often-read storage.
i.e.: copy pools.  If we can have primary pools on 3590s, we can get up
to 60G raw on the -K volumes.  That seems plenty at the moment.

We can use the 200G-raw (coming soon!) LTO volumes for copies, and read
from them correspondingly less often.

LTO drives are, at the very least, a cheap way to increase your drive
count.

There was no such thing as TDP for SQL 2.1.1.
There was 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2...  for version 1.
Then there was 2.2.0 and 2.2.1  for version 2.
And now there is 5.1.5 which is aligned with the rest
