Re: Binding SYSTEM OBJECT
The adsm.sys dir contains a copy of your registry. This is not the same as the files going into the SYSTEM OBJECT filespace. These files are needed to maintain a consistent system state. Some info from the help files: Backing up system objects Certain Windows NT, 2000, and XP system objects can be backed up together or individually. However, Microsoft recommends all system objects be backed up together to maintain a consistent system state. The following are valid system objects: Active Directory (domain controller only) Certificate server database Cluster Database (cluster node only) COM+ database Event logs (system, security and application) Registry System and boot files System volume Removable Storage Management Database (RSM) Replicated file systems (FRS) Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) To back up system objects using the GUI, select the system objects tree from the backup window. On the command line, use the backup systemobject command to back up all valid system objects. To back up system objects individually, see corresponding commands in Chapter 10, Using commands. For Windows 2000, XP: You can exclude system objects from backup processing using the exclude.systemobject option. See Exclude options for more information. gr.

Re: Client install on a MS Cluster with SQL 2000
Hi David, my experience with MS Cluster and SQL backup is as follows: Follow the book. If things does not work, remove TSM services and TSM cluster resources and start over, going by the book. I have never had to do it more than twice, and I know that the times I had to do it more than once, was when I tried to be smart and figure things out by myself, instead of running it step by step (by the book). rgds G.

Re: 5.1.6.2 Upgrade
Hello, we have 5.1.6.2 on AIX 4.3.3 since 2 days. We upgraded from 5.1.1.6. I would like to mention a few points. I have not seen any problems with the server help menus. After the upgrade the inittab entry for the ACSLS interface was missing. There is a slight problem with the formatting of the output of q proc. Line breaks are missing and the output contains special characters like ~ or backslash. It is a very minor problem. The problem with the extraneous system object backup groups is gone. Cleanup backupgroup and a subsequent expiration reduced the number of files from 1.9 million to 19. However, keep an eye on your recovery log when running cleanup backupgroups and the first expiration after upgrading. In my opinion 5.1.6.2 seems to be the stable version we have been waiting for.

Re: Cannot remove tapes from copy storage pool
I have 2 tapes in the copy storage pool that I cannot get rid of. When I try to do a move data command, it says that the tape has no = data on it. When I try to do a delete volume command, it says that the tape still contain data. A frequently asked question. Start by doing a Query Content to get perspective on the volume and whether its contents suggest other issues. Then utilize AUDit Volume...Fix=Yes to treat it. Richard Sims, BU

It seems to be better behaved and I'm not getting paged at night to deal with log problems. I haven't seen the help message formatting problem (reread the README to see why you have to select the 'install all software').

MediaW in Summary Table
Hi all, We are on TSM server version 5.1.6.0 and I have noticed that the stats for MediaW in the Summary table is incorrect some of the time, but not all of the time. In doing a LAN-free backup, the total time for the backup was 43 minutes. The summary table showed 2143 secs of mediaw time (35min). If you back out the media wait time, that makes the backup throughput rate an astronomical number that I know we are not getting. This issue does not seem to occur on every backup performed. Anyone else experienced this??

I've seen some posts recently that look similar to these: What is wrong this this command? somecommand or QUERY XYZ produces the output below. Is this a bug? someoutput or I set up the client scheduler, but it doesn't kick off when it is supposed to. The problem with the first example is that the command syntax is shown, but the poster does not show what output she is receiving, or provide any more information that would be useful in determining the nature of the problem. The problem with the second example is that the output is shown, but the poster does not mention what specifically about the output she doesn't like. The problem with the third example is that the problem description, from a technical standpoint, is very vague. When posting questions/problems to the list, it would be helpful to provide as much information as possible about the nature of your problem. A short list of items includes: - The commands being used - The output from the commands - Complete version numbers of the relevant components (i.e. 5.1.5.4, not just 5.1) - Operating system names/versions for the OSes involved - Other relevant information - Your specific questions The other relevant information can include technical details about the configuration. For example, if the question is about problems with include/exclude processing, then include your *complete* options file, include/exclude file, client options set, and output from QUERY INCLEXCL. Of course, also include the symptoms of the problem you are seeing, including sample output from the backup or archive operation, and any corresponding dsmerror.log entries. In general, the more detail you provide, the more likely that someone can provide a quick and relevant response.

Re: [summary] Select statement question...

Re: Library Configuration Question
I just upgraded from an ATL P3000 (329 slots) to an ATL P7000 (399 slots) which was on new hardware, and my upgrade path was to do a database restore. I never had any problem seeing the new slots. The term stored statically in the database is slippery. Some things are, and some are not, and some things that appear to be, are overwritten when you do a restore, but others are not. I'm just not sure which is which. For instance, after completing the restore, I had to delete and redefine all my drives, but not the library itself. Have I made this perfectly muddy for you?

Re: Dir, Filespace backup question
One thing you have to watch out for is that...
when you do that you alter the keys which TSM uses...
Key fields in various situations are NODE, FILE_SYSTEM (filespace_name),
directory path ie stuff between the mount point where the file resides
(hl_name), FILE (ll_name)
Now you used to have /app/1st72gbarray/somedir/somefile
keys used to be
app
1st72gbarray/somedir
somefile
now if you do what it seems you will do your keys will change as follows...
app/1st72gbarray
somedir
somefile
So in the future you might have to do the following...
If looking for older copies of backups archives use
q backup {/app}/1st72gbarray/somedir/somefile
If looking for newer copies of backups archives use
q backup {/app/1st72gbarray}/somedir/somefile
Use the {} to designate what should constitute the ~file_system~ name
Oh, and I guess since it radically changes the keys, it goes without saying
that it will assume the new names are all new files...
There is the ability to rename your filesystems within TSM but I've never
specifically looked at the results of that action as it relates to the
issues mentioned above...
hope this helps,
later,

Subject: Dir, Filespace backup question
Hi TSMers
I have a question for you.
I'm running TSM 4.2.2.12 on a Solaris 2.7 machine. We are about to do some
reconfiguration of the file systems of one of our clients as follows.
At the moment we have one massive /app dir with loads of subdirs for
various applications (5 72GB disks software raided...yuk). What we are
looking at doing is making some of the dir's actual mount points. i.e. the
/app/users/fred would be copied to a new mount point making sure that all
file permissions, access dates etc remain unchanged, and then mount that
new file system as /app/users/fred (same as before).
Will TSM see this as completely new data, regardless of whether or not we
maintain the same dates, time stamp etc. If, so, is there a way round this?
Please feel free to ask for more info If I have been too vague.
Many thanks

That accomplishes that function, now we could kill two birds with one stone by adding a TDP License option with a flags of DB2, SAP, Oracle, Sybase, etc so that both the TDP and the node license are associated with the same nodename. And while were at it, let's make it easier to store both filesystem and TDP data under the same nodename instead of creating a second virtual node. -- Joshua S.

I capture the returncode and if it's not equal to 0 then no task are running and thus the next script can be executed. I'm trying to find a way to make this more specific. For instance, I would like to see a returncode not equal to zero if reclamation has finished, I don't care if any other process is still running. I think it should be possible to do this by using a select statement, but I'm not much of an SQL wizard. Could somebody help me out here? Thank you very much in advance!

Re: Dir, Filespace backup question
Using Aristotle's experimental model (pure mental what-if), I've concluded
it might be possible to export the /app filesystem to tape, rename the
filesystem to /app/users/fred, import the filesystem from tape to get your
/app filesystem back. My mental gyrations lead me to believe you would then
have all your {/app}/users/fred backup/archive data in the {/app/users/fred}
backup.
I wonder what would happen for expiration of /app/users/david/* files in the
{/app/users/fred} filespace? Hmm Maybe you could season with a bit of
rebinding? I think this would be a fun experiment if I can find the time.

Subject: Re: Dir, Filespace backup question
One thing you have to watch out for is that...
when you do that you alter the keys which TSM uses...
Key fields in various situations are NODE, FILE_SYSTEM (filespace_name),
directory path ie stuff between the mount point where the file resides
(hl_name), FILE (ll_name)
Now you used to have /app/1st72gbarray/somedir/somefile
keys used to be
app
1st72gbarray/somedir
somefile
now if you do what it seems you will do your keys will change as follows...
app/1st72gbarray
somedir
somefile
So in the future you might have to do the following...
If looking for older copies of backups archives use
q backup {/app}/1st72gbarray/somedir/somefile
If looking for newer copies of backups archives use
q backup {/app/1st72gbarray}/somedir/somefile
Use the {} to designate what should constitute the ~file_system~ name
Oh, and I guess since it radically changes the keys, it goes without saying
that it will assume the new names are all new files...
There is the ability to rename your filesystems within TSM but I've never
specifically looked at the results of that action as it relates to the
issues mentioned above...
hope this helps,
later,

Subject: Dir, Filespace backup question
Hi TSMers
I have a question for you.
I'm running TSM 4.2.2.12 on a Solaris 2.7 machine. We are about to do some
reconfiguration of the file systems of one of our clients as follows.
At the moment we have one massive /app dir with loads of subdirs for
various applications (5 72GB disks software raided...yuk). What we are
looking at doing is making some of the dir's actual mount points. i.e. the
/app/users/fred would be copied to a new mount point making sure that all
file permissions, access dates etc remain unchanged, and then mount that
new file system as /app/users/fred (same as before).
Will TSM see this as completely new data, regardless of whether or not we
maintain the same dates, time stamp etc. If, so, is there a way round this?
Please feel free to ask for more info If I have been too vague.
Many thanks

Re: 5.1.6.2 Upgrade
My only complaint is the speed of the expiration - it's never fast enough for me. Gretchen, what is your expiration speed? We expire over a million objects per hour (AIX 4.3.3, TSM 4.2.3.3). My only complaint is the speed of the deletion - out of +4 million examined objects, none is deleted the last 5 days.;-) See expiration runs, deletion not done I posted last Monday.

Re: AIX Client automatic start for dsmcad

Re: licensing costs
Bruce, At this point the licensing scheme is sold one way and incorporated into the TSM Server a second completely different way. One way I thought of to bring the two licensing schemes would be to have each node registered with a number of processors entered with it as an option. That accomplishes that function, now we could kill two birds with one stone by adding a TDP License option with a flags of DB2, SAP, Oracle, Sybase, etc so that both the TDP and the node license are associated with the same nodename. And while were at it, let's make it easier to store both filesystem and TDP data under the same nodename instead of creating a second virtual node. -- Joshua S.

Upgrading from LTO to LTO2 devices: When migrating from LTO to LTO2 devices, you need to follow one of the set of steps below: - If you are maintaining both generations simultaneously, LTO gen1 and LTO gen2, then you need to logically partition your library such that the drives of these two generations are disjoint. - If you are upgrading all your drives to LTO gen2, then 1. Delete all your old LTO gen1 drive definitions as well as any paths associated with these old drive definitions. 2. Define the new LTO2 drives and paths associated with the new hardware.

Re: ACSLS or Native TSM manager
We run AIX 4.3.3, have gone from TSM 3.1 to 3.7 to 4.1 to 4.2.1.5. Etc. On ADSM 3.1, you needed ACSLS to support some types of devices that ADSM didn't support native. And at one time you could put two types of drives in the library if you used ACSLS, and TSM doesn't support that with native SCSI (and I'm not sure you can still do this at TSM 5.x, even with ACSLS). Once we evolved past those 2 requirements, we dropped ACSLS and went to TSM's native SCSI support. It's a much simpler configuration and works just dandy if TSM is the only application using the library. -Original Message- From: Dameon White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 2:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ACSLS or Native TSM manager We just bought a used STK L700 with 4 DLT7000 drives.

Re: Netware Client problem
I haven't seen your exact error message before, but it looks like you server may have DNS name resolution issues. I would suggest checking three things first: (1) make sure the server knows it's own hostname properly (check sys:etc\hostname). Also, make sure that the hostname the server thinks it is using is the same as the hostname configured in your local DNS. (2) Make sure sys:etc\hosts is configured properly for your NetWare server. There should be a line in there similar to: 192.168.1.3 servername.somewhere.comservername (3) Make sure the server can do DNS lookups outside of TSM. You could try using ping at the server console to check this (ping your TSM server by name, or a known site on the Internet that answers pings, such as www.cisco.com). If that doesn't work, check the file sys:etc\resolv.cfg. It should look something like this: domain somewhere.com nameserver 192.168.1.1 nameserver 192.168.1.2 with your domain and nameservers, of course.

TSM Server upgrade
I will appreciate if any one can share his/her experience and advice on TSM server upgrade from version 4 to version 5. I am planning to upgrade TSM server from V. 4 R 1 to TSM Server 5.1 on AIX 4.3.3. Last time when I upgraded TSM server from V3 to V4 I did following: exported admin, node, policy, server information's saved volumehistoryfile, deviceconfigfile, dsmserv.opt and dsmserv.dsk files After upgrade I imported admin, node, policy and server. Also copied these saved files back to TSM server directory. For upgrade to Version 5, do I need to do all these steps and are there any other things I should take care of. I will greatly if you can send me detailed information of this upgrade.

What happens when a backup is interrupted
Hi All, Could I have someone confirm my understanding of what happens under various circumstances when a backup is interrupted? Do I understand this correctly? Per the manuals, client sessions are cancelled when the server is halted. If an operation, such as a backup or archive process is interrupted when the session is cancelled, the server rolls back the results of the current transaction. The start window does not control whether or not a client backup restarts after an interrupt (caused by the server). It looks to me that this is controlled by two parameters in the client option file, the retry period and the maximum command retries. It looks like a backup would restart where it left off if the interrupt was caused by the server. It also appears that there is no restart provision if the interrupt is caused by the client going down. In that case, the backup must be restarted. However, if the client went down within the start window, I think we could assume that the backup would restart, although it would likely start completely over again. Thanks!

My TSM clients think they can restore from a disk storage pool LANFREE!!
I have an open APAR on this problem, however I thought I'd share it with the list. A customer reported the problem described below which seemed to indicate the TSM CLIENT system attempted to perform a LANFREE restore of files which were in the TSM Server disk storage pool. The system has been configured for LAN FREE tape access but was never configured to use sanergy or any other tool for lan free disk pool access (devclass=DISK, not sequential FILE). Tivoli suggested setting 'lan free = no' in the client options before any attempt to restore, however the real solution would be to convince the client that the TAPES can be accessed LANFREE but not the disk pool. What configuration changes can I make to ensure it does not attempt to perform LAN FREE restore from a disk storage pool Please note that is was only after an upgrade from 4.2.0.1 to 4.2.3.3. There was never any problem restoring data with 4.2.0.1 Cheers.
