Re: TSM version 5
We are running TSM 5.1.5.0 on win2000. It seems to be stable. No new (or old fixed) problems found. It is running for a couple of weeks. We are waiting for the AIX software, so that we can upgrade our NSM (which was running on 4.1.3 and in a couple of weeks migrated to 4.1.6, 4.2.1.9, 4.2.2.0 and now running 4.2.2.13 all due to crashes, bugs etc). The big thing with 5.1.x is the multiple restore sessions. At last we can use all our drives to restore a client. Gr, Karel -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: bbullock [mailto:bbullock;MICRON.COM] Verzonden: woensdag 6 november 2002 20:31 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Re: TSM version 5 We are in the process of moving our 8 TSM servers from the very-stable,I-never-wanna-change Version 4.1.4.0, to the it-scares-me-to-death-to-change Version 5. FYI, we have 8 TSM servers running on AIX 4.3.3 ML10, ~800 clients (NT, AIX, Solaris, Linux VMS) running with TSM client levels anywhere from 2.1 to 5.1, with the majority of them at version 4.1 and 4.2. We are being motivated to move to a newer version so we're on a supported version and because there are new features that our NT admins want to exploit. So, my logic went like this: 4.2.* - Way to buggy, not ~even~ going to go there. 5.1.0.0 - First version, too buggy. 5.1.5.0 - Seems to re-introduce previously fixed bugs. 5.1.1.6 - I don't like to install patches (as opposed to maintenance levels) unless I encounter a bug. So, that lead me to install 5.1.1.0 on my TSM servers. I'm rolling out the 4.1.4.0 to 5.1.1.0 upgrade gradually, just in case I encounter a big gotcha. As of today, I have upgraded 5 of the 8 servers,(doing about 1/week). Things seem to be good so far. I'm keeping an eye on the SYSTEM OBJECTS on the NT hosts, but they seem to be stable and not growing any larger, (but I'm going to keep an eye on that one). Also, the clients don't seem to be reporting any more errors than usual. No errors on the expire inventory that I can see. I'm kinda thinking that I dodged a bullet and it won't be as painful as I thought this was going to be. It's quiet... perhaps a little ~too~ quiet... (roll scary music... queue scary bug...) ;-) Once we are comfortable with the TSM servers at 5.1.1.0, we will start to upgrade the client software.

Migration AIX - Linux
Hi! We now have TSM 4.2.1.15 under AIX 4.3.3 and need a bigger server. As this is our last AIX-machine, we would like to take the opportunity and switch to Linux, so maybe somebody out there can help me: - Does anybody use TSM Server (I think 5.1.5 is the current version) under Linux? Which distribution (Debian preferred :-) ? Is it stable? - Did anybody try a migration AIX - Linux, successful or not? AFAIH the major problem is the restore of the database due to different character sets / file formats. Regards, Andreas Gen. Hospital Linz Dept. Med. IT
Re: Automating RMAN Backup Through TSM
Hello Christy,
Please verify that you have /usr/lib in your search path. Also, what is
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to? One step you may want to retry is the relink of
RMAN and TDP
for Oracle. (make -f ins_rdbms.mk LLIBMM=/usr/lib/libobk.a ioracle)
Also, one thing that caused me problems was that I accidentally installed
32bit TDP for Or-
acle when I should've installed 64bit TDP for Oracle.
I noticed that you do not have an ENV setting in your backup script. I
would add this to your RMAN script to set the TDPO_OPTFILE variable. I
have an entry like
this --- 'ENV
=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)';
Let me know how you're doing. As of now, I'll be in the office until
9:00 or 10:00 p.m., EST.

restore to diff. client
Hi! Does anyone have a clue how to do a restore from one client to another on the adsm commandline interface? Thnx! michelle
Re: Include/Exclude
Sascah, Now that the directory and files are excluded from being backed up. The next time that the backup runs. The TSM server will think that the directory and file have been deleted from the workstation. The directory and files that were backed up earlier will be come an inactive version. The inactive version will remain on the system for how ever long. To determine how many days that a delete version will be kept, need to look at the copygroup setting. The retain only version controls how many days that the directory and file will be kept after the directory and file have been deleted from the work station. I hope this some sense, if not I hope someone else can word it better.

backup primary stgpool to different library
Hi, I would like to check the following. We will have two identical libraries connected via SAN to the TSM server. The second library will be in a different room than the TSM server and the first library. I would like to have the primary storage pool on the first library and the copy storage pools on the second library. Is it possible to have a backup of a primary storage pool residing in library A to a copy storage pool residing in library B? I guess it has to be possible as the two libraries are identical but I want to be sure. Thanks, Kurt

You can issue the following: dsmc restore -virtualnodename=Client A node name source filespace target file space You will be prompted for the password.

Well, technically, you will have one backup (or more depending on your policy definition) and one migrated copy.

Iron Mountain response time

New 3590 tape drives
We're (finally!) looking at purchasing some native 3590 drives for our 3494 library, which we share between TSM and HSM on OS\390. Currently we're using 3490 and VTS for our copypools. A couple of questions arise. 1) Will TSM allow us to slowly migrate our tape storage pools to the new native 3590 tapes or is this a situation where we would have to move/migrate the data from 3490 (physical or logical) to the 3590 tapes all at one time? 2) If we make our TSM backup storage pool 3490 (logical) and the disaster recovery pool 3590 native tapes, would TSM make full utilization of the 3590 capacity? Or, would it be a 1-to-1 tape usage? Any experiences to share, or other concerns to address? Thanks, -- Jim Kirkman AIS - Systems UNC-Chapel Hill 966-5884

Re: Include/Exclude
Hi, the files will be expired on the server later, according to the management class used during last backup. If this is an issue to delete the files from server sooner, you can 1) create a management class, let us name it TRASH_MC, with short retention periods 2) assign this management class to files concerned like: include.dir c:\mydir TRASH_MC include.file c:\myfile.doc TRASH_MC 3) perform incremental backup, this will rebind your files on the server 4) do your planned stuff: change incl/excl, perform backup 5) start expire on the server. Alternatively, use dsmc expire command. Only the later will work for inactive files as well. regards Juraj, Gmunden, Austria -Original Message- From: Sascha Braeuning [mailto:Sascha.Braeuning;SPARKASSEN-INFORMATIK.DE] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 11:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Include/Exclude Hi TSMers, I've got backed up some directories and files, which I should not.

Re: backup primary stgpool to different library
Kurt, Yes, it works just fine. You have to create a different management class for the 2nd library, and create the copy pool using that management class. It even works with dissimilar libraries/drives. In one instance, I've seen a 3575 for local copies, and a 3581 (LTO Stacker) for the copy pool.

Tuning to backup Millions of files
Hi! I have an NT server that has an Optika application (Imaging) running on it. It has to search 2 million+ files nightly and ends up backing up about 100,000+ each night. The problem is that it takes about 8 hrs. to do this backup which is not acceptable. Does anyone have any tuning parameters that may help this issue? The files can not be split up among directories anymore than they are. They want their cache files backed up so they copy them over to another directory and we back them up from there. We are upgrading their hardware to see if that helps but if there is any tuning I can do on the TSM side, that would help also. Thanks, Brenda Collins, Sr. Storage Administrator ING 612-342-3839
Re: Tuning to backup Millions of files
While this doesn't answer your question about tuning, it might help. We have a similar situation, except with our AIX mail systems. TSM had to scan 6+ MILLION files, nightly. Took way too long to be useful. So instead, we do INCRBYDATE nightly and then on weekends do regular incremental backups.

Re: Tuning to backup Millions of files
TSM 4.2.2 Client code introduced JOURNAL backup. By installing the TSM Journal service, changes to files are tracked and the backup takes place from the journal instead of reviewing each file. To install, simply start the TSM Client Backup/Archive GUI, select UTILITIES, Setup Wizard and 'Help Me Configure the TSM Journal Engine'. This is a GREAT function that really increases backup times on file servers. Oh yes, you may wish to read the readme files and 4.2.2. client documentation on this feature. Good Luck, John G.

Hi, For every problem there will be a solution but as at the same time there are no: of reasons for the same. I can only say that it looks to be on drive sensing .i.e. sensors. Did they check on proper voltage levels after replacement of power board .Even a small variation of either current or voltage can cause issues intermitantly.Grounding could be another issue.

Daily Processing Performance (very slow - any ideas?)
I'm very dissapointed with the performance of our TSM environment, and I was curious what kinds of numbers some of you with similar environments have experienced. I've worked extensively with IBM to try and tune things, but apparently we've got everything adjusted correctly. We are in the process of cleaning up System Object stuff, so I'm wondering if I should expect things to improve dramatically once we trim all that fat. I apologize for the lenght of the post, but I want to include as much info as possible. I'm in dire need of a solution. Our basic setup: IBM 6H1 - 6 Processors / 4GB RAM TSM 4.2.3 on AIX 4.3.3-09 LTO 3584 Tape Library with 10 drives Fiber-arbitrated loop going through McData ES-1000 switches and McData 6064 Directors 500GB Non-Collocated Disk Pool on ESS 250GB Collocated Disk Pool on ESS 37GB TSM database Approximately 200 Clients (mixture of AIX and WinNT/2K) running at various client versions 200GB total / night backed up on average. Daily Processing is slow, slow, slow. Here are the steps for our daily processing (its all scheduled, but I'm just showing you what runs when): 1) 7:00:00 - Daily processing starts backup stg nocodisk copypool maxproc=4 wait=yes backup stg colodisk copypool maxproc=4 wait=yes 2) Once that is finished the migrations start (I have the maxproc on both pools set to 5) update stg nocodisk hi=0 lo=0 update stg colodisk hi=0 lo=0 3) Once Migration is finished update stg nocodisk hi=90 lo=70 update stg colodisk hi=90 lo=70 backup stg nocotape copypool maxproc=3 wait=yes backup stg colotape copypool maxproc=3 wait=yes 4) Once that is finished expire inventory 5) Once that is finished backup db devclass=ltotape type=full 6) Then backup volhist backup devconfig prepare So, the big disappointment is on steps 1 and 2. Our disk to tape performance averages about 20GB/hour per tape drive. If I reduce the number of mount points, that number goes down even more. Are LTO's really this slow? IBM says these suckers will do 50-100GB/hour. With 10 drives, we were told we could handle about 1-2 TB/day, and we're only dealing with 200GB and the entire daily processing takes more than 6 Hours!!! At one time we were using disk caching, and I was told that slowed down disk to tape performance, so we turned it off. I saw a slight improvement, but nothing major. The Noncollocated disk pool still has data in it that has not expired yet since I turned off caching. Could that still be slowing things down if the pool isn't completely flushed? What can I really expect to get as far as performance? How long should daily processing really take for only 200GB worth of data? Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated!

Re: Fun with a bulk door on a tape library
I use a pair of perl scripts for checkout/checkin. The checkin script issues a checkin libv stat=pri search=bulk checklabel=barcode. It then tails the log (I have the console log redirected to a file and TSM dumping messages to /dev/console as a normal setup) and replies to the 'reply xxx when ready'. As each volume is checked in it grabs the volser from the ANR8430I message and does an update vol volser acce=readw -- and if the tape was empty, TSM scratches it at that point. When the script detects the ANR8431I message it exits. The checkout script works from my naming conventions. First it gets the volser of the most recent database backup and then it builds a list of tapes to come out -- stgpool name of *copy (anything ending in 'copy') status of filling or full, access of readwrite or readonly. The first ten items (I/O panel limit) are checked out with checkout libv libname volser checklabel=no remove=bulk and upd vol volser acce=of. If there were 10 or fewer tapes to come out, the script terminates; if more, it hangs waiting a 'return' press from the user and runs the next set. The first tape out is always the database backup. And the checkout script is a LOT older than the checkin; some day I intend to set it up to tail the log and provide better feedback as it runs.

Just got an upgrade to my tape library (IBM 3583). Put in some more slots, tape drives and a bulk loader door. The door now has 12 slots in it, up from 1. I have tried some things, but I know there are come command shortcuts for using the bulk loader door efficiently. What I need to do is to be able to: 1. Checking copypool and old database backup tapes back into the library. 2. Checkout copypool and database backup tapes to be sent offsite.

Hints or suggestions on 'proper' use of a bulk door? Other than just getting the syntax down and working my objective is to: 1. In the morning, have my database backup tape and all copypool tapes in my library to be put into the bulk door. 2. Load the bulk door with the incoming database backup tape and returning copypool tapes (ready for reuse), and have everything update and put away properly.

Re: Daily Processing Performance (very slow - any ideas?)
I have a very similar environment. I don't have the ED-6064 in loop - yet. Have only One Non-coll disk pool on an IBM FAStT 200 HA used exclusively by TSM. Have 6H1 with 2 procs and 2GB RAM, have 8 FC-AL drives in my 3584. I get very fast performance on my LTO drives. Tape to Tape I have gotten 115G/hour - I use compression on drives, not on clients. With migrations and backup stg from disk to tape I easily get 40GB/hour per tape drive, sometimes more - haven't really checked lately. I never have more than TWO processes of these for a stg pool running at once - don't need to. Several things you didn't mention: A. TSM DB. Where is it stored and is it tuned across disks etc. If you do a q db f=d what is the Cache Hit Pct? Ideally is around 99%. B. The disk pools on ESS. How well setup are they. How many TSM volumes do you have on each disk pool. I am not an expert at ESS, but for instance if you just assigned one big 500GB disk from ESS and have one or a very few TSM volumes that is a problem. Ideally break ESS down into smaller disks and have TSM volumes assigfned to each ESS disk (AIX hdisk). Just a few quick thoughts. David B.

Remember, file I/O tuning is like realestate there are only 3 rules Location, Location, Location! Well that might not be completely true, but anyway. Give us layout info like RAID levels, array layouts and connection info, are you using vpath etc. Also, send the output of vmtune command with no parms. There has been a lot of discussion on the list about tuning and your environment is fairly common. Paul Seay has done a lot of stuff with the ESS as well so he will probably have some suggestions.

Our disk to tape performance averages about 20GB/hour per tape drive. If I reduce the number of mount points, that number goes down even more. Are LTO's really this slow? IBM says these suckers will do 50-100GB/hour. With 10 drives, we were told we could handle about 1-2 TB/day, and we're only dealing with 200GB and the entire daily processing takes more than 6 Hours!!! At one time we were using disk caching, and I was told that slowed down disk to tape performance, so we turned it off. I saw a slight improvement, but nothing major. The Noncollocated disk pool still has data in it that has not expired yet since I turned off caching. Could that still be slowing things down if the pool isn't completely flushed? What can I really expect to get as far as performance? How long should daily processing really take for only 200GB worth of data? Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated!

Thanks. However, I am now thoroughly confused.

Storage Pool Volume Use/Order
I was told that TSM uses storage pool volumes in the order they are defined. I was wondering if that is true, and if there is any way to verify it? When I query the storage pool volumes, or use select with no ordering, they come out in sorted order, not defined order. Since this is a new server, I could redefine the storage pool volumes with sorted names in the order I want them used, but if behine the scenes it is using them in defined order, that would be fine the way they are.

Re: Daily Processing Performance (very slow - any ideas?)
Okay, some of you have requested more info before trying to make a diagnosis, so let me give you some more details. The 500GB disk pool and the 250GB disk pool are on ESS--8GB vpaths. I have 144 of these vpaths allocated to our TSM server. ESS uses RAID5. Within TSM, the volumes for the disk pools are 10GB volumes. So, I have 50 volumes for the noncollocated disk pool and 25 volumes for the collocated pool. My DB and LOG use 1GB volumes. Cache hit % on the DB is 98.5 today, but I have seen it as low as 85%. We have 4 fiber adapters in the TSM server. 2 are for disk and 2 are for tape--so tape and disk are not operating on the same adapter.

Database Questions
Does anyone know of any advantage/disadvantage of the file sizes for the database? Is there an advantage to creating many 1Gb .db files over fewer 10Gb .db files? Also, we're running TSM 4.2.1.15 on Solaris 5.8 using raid 5. I've heard performance can be much greater with raid 0. Any truth to that? We're seeing load averages above 10 nearly every day and TSM performance is pretty poor. Our database size is 35Gb and sessions are running for hours (even small incrementals of various workstations). Network bandwidth hasn't peaked over 50% in any 24 hour duration. Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance. Luke Dahl NASA - Jet Propulsion Laboratory 818-354-7117
Re: New 3590 tape drives
We're (finally!) looking at purchasing some native 3590 drives for our 3494 library, which we share between TSM and HSM on OS\390. Currently we're using 3490 and VTS for our copypools. A couple of questions arise. 1) Will TSM allow us to slowly migrate our tape storage pools to the new native 3590 tapes or is this a situation where we would have to move/migrate the data from 3490 (physical or logical) to the 3590 tapes all at one time? There are at least three ways to do phased migration to new media for primary storage pools. You can make the storage pool containing the new media the next pool for the old storage pool. You can then lower migration thresholds when you want migration to start and raise the thresholds when you want migration to stop. You can run 'move data' commands with the 'stgpool' option to move the contents of individual volumes in the old storage pool into the new storage pool. You can define the new storage pool as the reclamation pool for the old storage pool and control data movement by adjusting the reclaim percentage for the old storage pool. There is no explicit mechanism for moving data from one copy pool to another. You will have to populate the new copy pool by running 'backup stgpool' commands. The processes created by these commands can be cancelled if need be to break the copying process into managable chunks. Once the new copy pool is synchronized with the relevant primary pools you can delete the volumes in the old copy storage pool. 2) If we make our TSM backup storage pool 3490 (logical) and the disaster recovery pool 3590 native tapes, would TSM make full utilization of the 3590 capacity? Or, would it be a 1-to-1 tape usage? TSM will fill an onsite 3590 tape completely. TSM will fill an offsite 3590 tape until it reaches the end of the tape or until the status of the tape is updated to mark the tape as unavailable for mounting.

Journaling
Ok I finally figured out why journaling is not working on this server. It's because the 4 million plus files are on a SAN attached disk and journaling does not support that, only local. What good is that? Is there any good reason to use SAN disk these days anyway?

5.1?
Date: Sun, 3 Nov 2002 01:01:03 -0700
1) My primary advice is that you follow the advice I gave you before, and
work on getting the ODBC driver set up correctly. I pointed you to
detailed diagnostic information in the README file, and offered to have
you send me the results so that I can get a better understanding of the
problem. Once the ODBC driver is set up correctly, it will work as I have
already shown you.
2) While it may work okay, I do not recommend using the wzrdhlpr.exe file
that ships with the TSM server, as it is not intended for end-user use.
Instead, you should be using the administrative command line interface
that ships with the TSM client, dsmadmc.exe.
3) To read the file murali, get rid of the imports for
java.io.InputStream and InputStreamReader, and get rid of the is and
reader variables (and all lines refering to those variables). Instead,
use FileReader. You can also get rid of the declaration for process.
Also, uncomment the code at the end of the try block.
4) exec() launches the command in a separate process but does not wait for
that process to end. Therefore you should use the process's waitFor()
method to make the parent process wait for the child process to finish
before processing continues. Note that waitFor() throws
InterruptedException. Also, make sure to use the /c option after cmd.
import java.io.FileReader;
...
try {
...
String command = cmd /c dsmadmc -id=raibeck -password=bab5com
select * from sessions murali;
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command).waitFor();
br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(murali));
System.out.println(br = + br);
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine())!=null) {
System.out.println(line:+line);
}
}
catch(InterruptedException intex)
{
System.out.println(intex.getMessage());
}
...
5) You may find it desirable to add the -commadelimited or -tabdelimited
option to dsmadmc, which will help in parsing the resulting output. See
the TSM Administrator's Reference, Chapter 3, for more information about
the command line interface.

Re: Journaling
As stated in my previous append, we can't support nonlocal drives because the Win32 api used to monitor the file system doesn't support them. Supporting nonlocal file systems isn't impossible (most things aren't), it just would involve considerable development effort and it's up to the powers that be to decide if it's worth the investment (feel free to lobby your IBM rep to submit a requirement). As to the usefulness of Journal Based Backup, I'd like to think to it does provides some value in environments with very large local file systems and moderate amounts of change activity. As with most functions, Journal Based Backup doesn't provide every possible desired feature possible, but we did the best with what we had to work with.

Re: Journaling
Pete, Thanks for the reply. However, I'm still trying to wrap my head around why this should not work. When you say a non-local filesystem, are you by any chance meaning anything mounted via a connection to a share on another Win32 box? Or maybe via NFS? I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm just having a hard time seeing how the OS sees the distinction between a disk connected via a SCSI HBA vs. a disk on a SAN connected via an FC HBA. An I/O request to either should be exactly the same as far as the O/S and anything else at the application layer is concerned. I'm wondering if maybe we just have a misunderstanding over semantics? Again, appreciate the feedback. I'm just trying to clarify the situation as we have a box or two that would probably benefit from journaling, but the disk on those servers are SAN-Attached.

Re: Journaling
Maybe it is an option worth investing in. We have to backup a couple of NAS boxes on AIX TSM 4.2 Server. There are a couple of million files on the NAS box that have to checked during backup. Journaling would be helpful in this situation. The other situation where Journaling would be helpful is support for AIX. We have a couple of AIX Servers that have 6-7 million files. The backup is about 60 GB for those Servers but the backup runs for 10 hours. Tivoli should seriously think about extending the Journaling support to AIX and NAS boxes.

Re: Journaling
By nonlocal I did mean network drives. To be more precise, drives that NT considers to be network drives. To perfectly honest, I'm not all that familiar with SAN and haven't tried to journal a SAN attached device. Journal Based Backup relies on the Win32 api ReadDirectoryChangesW to monitor file system change activity. If this api will work with a SAN attached device (it doesn't with mapped drives), Journal Based Backup will work, if it doesn't it won't. It hasn't been tested so I can neither confirm nor deny that it will/won't work, and of course the official position will be that if it hasn't been tested we don't support it. If you are in a position to try it please post your results on the list, I'd be interested. Implementing Jbb on any type of NAS device would be difficult as NAS boxes only implement (actually simulate might be a better term) a portion of the NT file system and any type of journaling solution would have to work in the context of the file system api support the particular NAS vendor provides, and I seriously doubt (but don't know for sure) that any type change monitor support would be available, and even if were it would probably be specific to the particular NAS box meaning that we potentially would have to implement a different solution each specific NAS filer.

When you say a non-local filesystem, are you by any chance meaning anything mounted via a connection to a share on another Win32 box? Or maybe via NFS? I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm just having a hard time seeing how the OS sees the distinction between a disk connected via a SCSI HBA vs. a disk on a SAN connected via an FC HBA. An I/O request to either should be exactly the same as far as the O/S and anything else at the application layer is concerned. I'm wondering if maybe we just have a misunderstanding over semantics?

Re: System Object / Mgmt. Classes / Policy Sets / Backup Groups - - What's the best way??
We just did something similar to this last week: - We run TSM server 4.1.6 on OS390 preparing to go to TSM 4.2 - We were keeping 30 version / 30 days of the 'system objects' for some 200+ NT clients. - Created a new management class with 7 version / 7 days for 'system objects' - Added this to the client options set on the server side Here's what happened / is happening: -Recovery log for TSM 4.1.6 has a limitation of 5GB. -We blew out the recovery log and had to recover TSM (much pain the first time). This was caused by all of the rebinding plus the expiring (I'm assuming). -Some backups got finished, a lot did not before TSM crashed. -Set retention in new management class to 28 days to reduce the expiration and just try to get the rebinding done. -Again, recovery log filled up and we had to recover TSM...a little less painful but, still very painful. -And, again, not all backups completed so, we spent the next day running these backups 5-10 at a time to get through all the rebinding and finally did. -We are now decreasing the versions one at a time and are down to 26 versions (one day at a time is getting the recovery log to approximately 65% full so, we don't want to go any further than that). -Obviously this could be less painful in 4.2 with a larger recovery log but, want to get cleaned up prior to that time. Anyway, just a heads up...and, welcome any ideas to reduce this pain. Thanks, Cinda Ascension Health ISD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/06/02 04:15PM Todd, may I correct you. In TSM it is called rebinding: - you have several backups made using one class (be it default or not) - somehow (dsm.sys/dsm.opt, optionset) you change include/exclude list and a object (in TSM terms - file, TDP stream, SystemObject, etc.) is now bound to another class - TSM server on first backup after the change re-binds ALL versions (retro-active) of that object - on next expiration new class' vere/verd/rete/reto settings are honoured Example 1: previous class was with 60 days retention, new class is with 7 days (as in Kevin's case): - system objects back to 60 days ago - after Wanda's suggested change system object is rebound - next expiration ought to remove all system objects older than 7 days (disclaimer: on version without System Object expiration bug) Example 2: old class with 5 versions, new class with 12 versions - 5 versions are kept and each 6-th old is expired - a file is rebound to new class - new backup will notify server about rebind and will create 6-th version - until 7 new versions are backed up (for total of 12) no version will be expired despite the fact the oldest versions were created when limit was only 5.

All of the other systemobjects that exist in the database that are managed by the old management class will be retained for their 60 days. In order to facilitate the move to the new management class, you will want to rename the systemobject filespace on each server (for instance, systemobject.old), then perform your backups for 8-9 days, making sure the new systemobject only has data stored for 7 days, and only in the new management class. Then, it will be safe to delete systemobject.old, and recover that database space prior to your upgrade.

Re: Daily Processing Performance (very slow - any ideas?)
Are you using mirroring? If so, do not, waste of resources and lots of overhead on backup db. Are you using raw or JFS? There is absolutely no value defining such small LUNs on the ESS. In fact that could be the source of all your problems especially on the database. If you are using JFS, you should use a striped set of disk throughout the ESS, 8 at a time, on on each cluster/loop combination. This maximizes the throughput of the ESS. You have a very similar environment to mine. Our's flies. Do you have Gigabit on the clients or 100baset? Do you have Gigabit on the TSM server? First thing I would do is change your bufferpool for your DB to 256MB and change maxperm to 40. That will eliminate the 85% hit ratio spikes and the paging that is probably occuring on your machine. We backup about 2TB a day and process about 2TB per day to copies. We start at 7PM and finish by 7:30AM, including 2 copies of everything plus the primary. We have 16 Magstar drives. Paul D.

HELP Restore of Novell files
I received a request to restore some a full directory from a given date on Novell. I am trying to use load dsmc restore -pitdate=mm/dd/ -subdir=y server/data:home/directory but am getting a message ANS4035W File data:/home/directory/ currently unavailable on server. back from the TSM client. Does that mean it is not in my backups? Or is it a permissions problem in the restore? The directory is there. I have also tried it with -ina and using -pick all with the same results. TSM 4.1.3 on Windows as server, restoring to Novell client 4.1.3.0 that did the backups. TIA ... JC

Hi, I use it to check on missed schedules and problems- I am using a tsmclent that runs on each unix server - and once you get the timing right to avoid the purple states - it works great. This is the report I see each morning: I have turned on the event file on the server and am working on a script to check for problems - but haven't completed it...
