Re: Finding out if expiration process is brand new of finishing another one that was canceled
Hi Jane! I think it depends. If you cancel an expiration by issuing a cancel process it will start all over. If you issue a cancel expiration it will create some sort of checkpoint. It will pick up where it left in that case.

Client doesn't ask for password when IP address changes?
Hello, I'm using TSM (5.1.1.0 client) on Windows XP (SP 1) to backup my PC at home. This weekend I switched from one ISP (cable) to another ISP (ADSL). This of course changed the IP address and hostname of my PC completely. The change of IP adress is clearly visible in the activity log on the server when I search for the Session started for node BLAHBLA message. When I started the backup client after the change it never asked me for the node's password, it just logged on to the server and allowed me to start a backup. I'm absolutely sure of this because I've forgotten the password so when it *had* asked me for I wouldn't have known it. I can't explain this behaviour. Shouldn't the client prompt for a password when I change to IP address or hostname? Our server is 4.2.3.2 (4.2.3.3 in a few hours) on AIX 4.3.3.0 Kind regards, Alexander -- --- Alexander Verkooijen([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Systems Programmer SARA High Performance Computing
Re: TSM v4.2 end of support
Nathan, people reading at least 5-10% of the (huge number of) ADSM-L postings already know: - v4.2 will be out of support soon - when exactly it will be out of support - what goes on with v5.1 - the stable and not-so-stable maintenances/patches of ITSM v5.1 etc., etc. So many of the subscribers of this list know already how to do the TSM stuff and in case of problems get support from the list. I am trying to say you many of them can do their job *without* using your services at all. Now lets have a look what are you offering anyway: - ... a new unique business model with Tivoli ... - so many companies offer TSM with installation and support and hardware and whatever you want ... There is nothing unique in your offer. Even the mail list spamming was invented by someone else. - looking what is the company offering - redirected by the URL in your signature I reached a page at (http://pathfindertech.protectedsite.net/) titled Site Not Found with very explanatory content No web site is configured at this address. - trying to look at the person making the offer I had some success: -- my personal ADSM-L archive (all posts I received during last 18 months) returned no hits for both nathan and norrgard -- searching at ADSM.ORG there were numerous posts from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] from 1999 and 2000. Mainly posts were questions not answer and due to vague documentation. Were they RTFM or not I do not know - had no time to check them all (but some left me with the impression). If you have something to add to the discussion you can both in private (my address is shown) or publicly (to the list). But you need many arguments to change Eric's and my opinion - shameless advertising, period!

Re: Client doesn't ask for password when IP address changes?
If you had no nodename option in dsm.opt your hostname acts as nodename. Thus on hostname (not IP address) change you have to be authenticated as new node. If nodename option is defined it is used for password matching not the hostname. Either you have nodename option (and nodename/generated password pair is still valid) or your server is on open registration.

Re: TSM/RMAN scripts for backing up Oracle DBs and deleting backu ps
Well I'm not sure about the latest TDP versions but in the older 2.1 or so the options are a little limited. RMAN thinks in terms of redundant backups. The delete scripts that are delivered with RMAN give a small insight on how to delete the old backups. But it's based on deleting any files that are part of a backupset that is above a redundancy level. Not really the daily weekly monthly stuff. I might have some scripts hanging around that you can have but they only really deal with one month of backups and then over and out. From memory do not try do achieve this using TSM management classes as RMAN expects to be in complete control of backup files/pieces.

Re: Client doesn't ask for password when IP address changes?
Hi, Our server doesn't allow open registration. My dsm.opt contains the nodename option and the nodename hasn't changed. So that must be why the client didn't ask for the password.

Re: System Object Restore Win2K
With Win2K you do not install to a new folder like you do with NT4.0. 1) Install Win2K into its original directory. 2) Make sure to have the Win2K server installed as part of a workgroup, any group will do. Do not make it part of the domain. 3) Install the TSM client. 4) Restore the System drive (usually C:). Note that if you have other drives (i.e. D:, E:) then you can restore them now but if they are large then you can wait. Note, do not select the system objects at this point. If you notice the redbook explains this as well. 5) At the end of the System drive restore select NO when asked to reboot. 6) Restore the system objects 7) Reboot. 8) When the server comes back up it should be able to log into the domain. If you installed the Win2K server as part of the domain back in step 2 then a new SID may have been created for this server. If that happened then you will have to delete the server from the domain and add it back.

Both the TSM server and the 3494 have been re-booted and the Token ring connection has now been restored to the library manager. We're running a TSM V5.1.1.0 server on a AIX/F50 platform. IBM 3494 tape library shared between the TSM server and MVS/OS390 partition. All 4 drives have been physicaly reset. IBM 3494 says the drives are all available. All 4 drives can be seen by the AIX TSM. The device class says to use a mount limit of 'DRIVES'. All LAN definitions on the ATL look o.k also. Can anybody confirm whether this message is drive or library manager related and any potential reasons why this should be displayed. many thanks, Nick Rutherford * This e-mail is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.

Re: Exclude options
Hmmm..., I pulled exclude.fs out of the documentation, but it was 4.2 doco, so I would have thought it would work. Do you have anything in you dsmerror.log about the excludes? What does dsmc q inclexcl tell you? exclude /.../u01/.../* will certainly avoid backing up the files under /u01, but it will still examine each file in the file system to see if it should be backed up. The trees I want to avoid generally are structured /db /db/database1 /db/database1/d01 /db/database1/d02 /db/database1/d03 /db/database2 /db/database2/d01 /db/database2/d02 /db/database2/d03 where each d0? is a separate file system, and new branches can be added without warning. That being the case I generally exclude.dir /db. That way I get notices for each file system that it is excluded but the client doesn't spend lots of time traversing the trees. And I don't get burned if someone adds another filesystem to the tree and forgets to tell me. Luck! - Kai.

Re: NT restore to different hardware
Having DR recovered my share of NT boxes, I'll throw in my $0.02 worth here. The NT/W2K/XP(/Win9x) registry has entries/pointers/references/who-knows-what that refer to all kinds of things on the local machine. Including all installed software, user accounts, and hardware. To BMR a client, the target machine needs to be Very Similar to the source. Anything too different and Windows won't come up. Copy the registry, in whole, from a Compaq to a HP server (and do it in a BMR style, without the system up), and see what happens. Try it with AIX (or other Unix) - just reload your mksysb on a different machine, and see if the ODM lets you come up clean. Try a Mac - take the drive from one series machine and drop it in another one - same problem (Try that with an Amiga, if you have one, and it works up to the 4000, but that's a different story...). AIX has a nice trick where you can reload the mksysb, also having the AIX install CD in the drive, and have it go get what it needs to come up, but that's build into the OS. Windows doesn't have anything like that at this point. BMR restore to unlike hardware is hard, but not impossible. You need to be careful what you bring down and apply to the registry, you need to practice your plan, then you need to practice it again, and again, and again. I learn something new on every DR Test I attend, because things are always changing. Nick Cassimatis Today is the tomorrow of yesterday.

Re: NT restore to different hardware
Ok, click here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q249694. This MS knowledge base article is called How to Move a Windows 2000 Installation to Different Hardware. This is the key document that you need for Win2K. Note the following section: If the computer does not restart after restoration because of HAL mismatches, perform an in-place installation to make repairs. To do this: Restart the computer from the installation media. On the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER as if performing a new installation. When the licensing screen appears, accept the licensing agreement. Setup will then search for previous installations to repair. When the installation that is damaged is found, press R to repair the selected installation. Setup re-enumerates your computer's hardware (including HAL) and performs an in-place upgrade while maintaining your programs and user settings. This also refreshes the %SystemRoot%\Repair folder with accurate information that you can use for typical repairs if they are required in the future. You see the type of motherboard doesn't even matter. Yes, the document talks about migrating and not DR'ing. But when you go through all the steps you will see that YOU CAN restore Win2K and NT4.0 to dissimilar hardware. The trick is knowing how to run repair process on the reboot after the system object restore. I have done it. It does work. Many people are weighing in on this and that is great but if you haven't done it then please don't say it can't be done. Simply say you haven't done it.

Re: 3494 and dsmserv restore db
As a matter of fact, I had to do this last Friday to restore a Windows TSM server. I did exactly as described below in the support item Lloyd posted. You edit a copy of your devconfig file as below. Then when you run dsmserv restore db, the first thing you get is a MOUNT message. Put your 3494 in PAUSE, open the door, throw the tape in the drive requested in the MOUNT message. After the restore is done, remember to take the tape OUT of the drive. Put back your original devconfig file and restart the server.

Backup fails when files fail
We have an HP-UX TSM client running 5.1.1.0 code. It connects to a 4.2.3.3 server running under OS/390. A 'dsmc incremental' command on the HP-UX system failed with an exit status of 4, apparently because three files failed with ANS1228E and ANS4045E (file not found) messages. I remember reading about this kind of behavior in Version 4 clients. Has Tivoli managed to resurrect this bug in Version 5?

Re: 3494 and dsmserv restore db
I've had to use both methods, even on the same version of the code. If you do have to change your devconfig to manual, you can still use mtlib to mount and dismount tapes.

Re: Backup fails when files fail
You don't qualify what you mean by failed, but if you simply mean that the return code from dsmc was 4, then this is a new 5.1 feature, not a bug. See the Automating Tasks chapter in the 5.1 client manual for information on return codes from the command line client and their meanings. If you have any other questions on this, let me know.

Scalar 24 remotely
1) Can you run LAN-free when your SAN and tape drives are in one location and your TSM server is in another location? We have our main data center with the big TSM server in Boise, Idaho. We have a smaller data center with a small SAN in Phoenix, AZ, about 2000km away. The Phoenix data center has its own SAN that is just a little too large to back up across the WAN. We're wondering if we can avoid having to buy a separate TSM server and just put a small library in Phoenix that would run LAN-free, with IP robot controller that talks to the TSM server in Boise. Conceptually, can it work? 2) What do you know about/think of Scalar 24 libraries, specifically for LAN-free work? The small library we are looking at is a Scalar 24 from Adic. I've never actually seen one, but the brochures talk about LAN-free connections. If the remote use concept is possible, will this library work? Thanks, Kai.
3590 Partitioning
HI All, This is a 3590 question rather than TSM as such, but this is the best forum for it. I need to take system images of several AIX boxes each week to SAN Attached 3590E drives in my 3494. It seems like overkill to devote a whole 3590 tape to each image as they will only be a few gig each. I stumbled across some doc which implies that a 3590 tape can be partitioned into smaller segments which can then be used independently. (see items 36 and 38 on the tapeutil menu). However, this is old doc, and I assume the feature is from the early days of 3590 when 10GB was an enormous amount of storage. Has anyone used this partitioning feature? in what circumstances? Are there any gotchas?

Re: Scalar 24 remotely
With TSM V5.1 and below a drive has to be defined, visible, and online to the TSM server and the SAN Storage Agent. Essentially, the SAN Storage Agent is a cut down TSM server code set that does its database I/O remotely. You have another option, install the TSM server code where you were going to install the SAN agent. Consider one important item, even if TSM did support what you wanted. The link over the IP potentially has a lot of meta data to move back and forth. With a single thread SAN like solution, this may not be the best choice. TSM V5.2 will likely have improvements in SAN attachment configuration operations to address drives being visible to the TSM server and all SAN clients, but there is nothing announced. So, we will have to see. The library probably supports LAN-Free connections by using a SCSI address to talk to the library. Paul D.

Re: Support for backing up MSDE?
Tom, Data Protecton for SQL will probably work... ... but it is not a supported environment. Del Is there a TSM agent to back up MSDE (Microsoft Data Engine)? Would the MS-SQL Server agent work?
Re: Backup fails when files fail
Consistent return codes was a Share requirement for years so that production processes could actually be coded and have a determinable consistent result. You may not like the implementation, but it is what was asked for. Paul D.
