Re: tdp for domino problem, which user ID for backup?
I ran into the same problem. This is documented in the knowledge base as a known error. If you run the domino server as a windows app instead of a service, this works around the problem. -Original Message- From: Jozef Zatko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 2:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: tdp for domino problem, which user ID for backup? Hello TSM-ers, two or three weeks ago I asked list to help me with Domino backup. The problem was that, when I used TDP GUI or command line for backup I always got couple of the following error messages for various databases: 04/02/2003 08:38:53 Backup of admin4.nsf failed. 04/02/2003 08:38:53 This database is currently being used by someone else. In order to share a Notes database, all users must use a Domino Server instead of a File Server. I have done some tests and I found out one interesting thing. Succesfull backup of some Domino databases (especialy system databases like names.nsf, admin4.nsf and so on) depends on user ID under which domdsmc or TDP for Domino GUI is running. My environment is as follows: Domino 6.0 on Windows 2000 SP3 running as service under Local system user TDP for Domino 5.1.5, TSM client 5.1.5.4 TSM server 5.1.5.4 on AIX 5.1 When I used domdsmc or TDP GUI as user Administrator, I always got error messages like the one above for some of databases. Databases for which I got this error were not always the same. Sometimes some of databases was backed up succesfuly, sometimes not. When I run domdsmc via TSM scheduler, which is running under Local system user ID, all databases was backed up without errors. When I stoped Domino server and started it in foreground using Administrator ID, I could sucessfuly backup all databases with TDP GUI and also with domdsmc (using Administrator ID). So it seems that it depends on user ID, under which is Domino server running and also user ID under which is TDP for Domino running. When standard Domino instalation procedure is used, Domino server will run as service with Local system user ID and then you can not backup all databases corectly using TDP GUI or command line. Is it working as designed or is it bug? Regards Ing. Jozef Zatko Login a.s. Dlha 2, Stupava tel.: (421) (2) 60252618

after updating client code 4.2.1.9 -- 5.1.5.9 on NT4, get new full b/u on client?
I guess I was sleeping when I updated the previous 25 clients and didn't notice, but I noticed this morning that all of the clients I updated the code on yesterday were doing a full backup last night. I had already changed the filespace to unicode, which would be the only thing of note that was different in the option file, so I don't understand why TSM thought that all of the files were different. Has anyone else experienced this is this behaving as expected, or do I need to look more deeply into this? TIA -lisa
Re: problem with a su script
On all of our database servers we run an archive nightly but instead of a regular archive we run a command instead: su - oracle /home/oracle/scripts/backup/db_backup.sh this script handles all the processing of the database and calls a dsmc archive command. on 97% of the servers it works fine. however, on just a few of them... that dont appear to be any different, the script immediately dies with a return code of 1 (no, its not permissions) however tsm reports it as completed (another problem). it doesnt appear the script ever gets run because we use a debugging statement for the first line that never gets called. nothing in the environment seems to be a problem and on one system it just suddenly stopped working without any changes being made. any ideas whats going on here? we're running aix 4.3.3, tsm client 5.1.5 and server aix 4.3.3 tsm 4.2.2... even on the servers it works on.

cluster archive/retrieve
I have master:/export/filesystem NFS exported to several client nodes who all NFS mount it as master:/net/filesystem/. And I would want to let the users archive and retrieve files in this filesystem on any of the client nodes. i.e. the users wants to be able to execute: dsmc archive /net/filesystem/fileXX on any of the nodes, and also restore this file on any of the nodes: dsmc retrieve /net/filesystem/fileXX Could anybody give me a hint on to how to achieve this? -jf

Re: problem with a su script
su - oracle /home/oracle/scripts/backup/db_backup.sh this script handles all the processing of the database and calls a dsmc archive command. on 97% of the servers it works fine. however, on just a few of them... that dont appear to be any different, the script immediately dies with a return code of 1 (no, its not permissions) Some things I can think of: With no prohibitions specified in your invocation, the su command is going to establish environment and run through the oracle username's login shell, which implies invoking its .login and .cshrc, etc. On the problem systems, those files may contain problematic elements. Also, you are depending upon the first line of the db_backup.sh to determine what shell or module processes the contents of that shell script - and, again, possible reprocessing .cshrc, etc. It may be that whatever is named on that first #!... line may not exist or has permissions problems, etc. Obviously, you can readily pursue debugging by logging on to that system as root and invoke 'su - oracle ...' on a variety of debugging scripts with escalating diagnostics as necessary.

Re: NEED HELP - Restore performance
Regardless of the client level, you can open as many dsm windows and start as many restores at once as you want.

Re: cluster archive/retrieve
Problem synopsis: How to do Archive/Retrieve on NFS client systems The TSM Clients manual describes the conventional cross-node access methods, via dsmc SET Access and VIRTUALMountpoint. Investigate the feasibility of those relative to your needs. Alternately, you might employ a meta script, as many shops do, to actually invoke the operations on the node where the file systems are native, and thus avoid TSM password/access issues. This entails setting up a request scheme which may be based upon using the 'ssh' command, or the like. Richard Sims, BU
Help! Support needed to prove point
Hello everyone! I am having a situation at work and I could use input from other TSM admin's. Hope someone can help! Here is my situation: On 12/15/2003 I changed the domain of a client named HMCH1015. In the process I deleted many archived files because the management classes didn't exist in the new domain. I have restored all of the missing files. Now the customer has come back and said there are more missing files. Here is where I need the support. Apparently the files that now appear to be missing were originally archived from a server called FSI01. FSI01 still resides in the other domain. (I never changed anything with this server) The user is saying that because they now archive the same files to the HMCH1015 server to the filespace e:\fsesdsf1\d0018, that is reported to have missing files in it, that it directly relates back to my deletion error in DEC concerning HMCH1015. Here is the documentation they have given me: I have looked at this several times and the only way I believe this data has been lost is for the user to have deleted it because I have not done so and I don't think that my error in December could at all be related to this server.

Re: Help! Support needed to prove point
Joni, I'm not sure I follow all of this, but the bottom line is this: changing the domain for node x does not impact node y in any way, shape or form. With that said, I can not figure out what is meant by this: The user is saying that because they now archive the same files to the HMCH1015 server to the filespace e:\fsesdsf1\d0018, that is reported to have missing files in it, that it directly relates back to my deletion error in DEC concerning HMCH1015. If they mean that they store files on the HMCH1015 machine, then let the TSM archive operations for HMCH1015 take care of archiving to TSM, then yes, the data are archived under node HMCH1015, and thus are subject to the problems you encountered when you changed the domain of HMCH1015. But if the user performs TSM archive operations from FSI01 using node name FSI01, then changes made to node HMCH1015 do not impact node FSI01 (or any other node, for that matter). If this doesn't quite answer it, then perhaps you could explain in more detail exactly what your user is claiming.

End Of Support V4.2
It appears that TSM 4.2 has reached end of support on 4/15/03. Is this for Clients AND Server? Are most people planning on upgrading to 5.1? What are the implications of staying at 4.2 or lower? Is there any additional cost to upgrade? Are there any major issues with 5.1??? End of Support Based on the Tivoli end of support policy, Tivoli support for Tivoli Storage Manager V4.2 (except for the AS/400(superscript: ®) native server) and the Tivoli Data Protection products will be discontinued April 15, 2003, 12 months after the general availability of the new release level. Refer to the End of Support section following the Description section, for the list of specific products Thanks, Marc

Re: archive failure (continued)
From: Steve Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have two objections to backupsets. The first is that API data is not covered. The second is that you are not supposed to make new backups for a node whilst the backupset is being created - this could cause horrendous scheduling difficulties in my environment. Is this second restriction a real issue or is it not a concern in practice? I couldn't tell you if the second restriction is a real issue; I'm not familiar with your environment or your scheduling difficulties. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: tdp for domino problem, which user ID for backup?
From: Jozef Zatko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem was that, when I used TDP GUI or command line for backup I always got couple of the following error messages for various databases: 04/02/2003 08:38:53 Backup of admin4.nsf failed. 04/02/2003 08:38:53 This database is currently being used by someone else. In order to share a Notes database, all users must use a Domino Server instead of a File Server. I have done some tests and I found out one interesting thing. Succesfull backup of some Domino databases (especialy system databases like names.nsf, admin4.nsf and so on) depends on user ID under which domdsmc or TDP for Domino GUI is running. My environment is as follows: Domino 6.0 on Windows 2000 SP3 running as service under Local system user TDP for Domino 5.1.5, TSM client 5.1.5.4 TSM server 5.1.5.4 on AIX 5.1 When I used domdsmc or TDP GUI as user Administrator, I always got error messages like the one above for some of databases. Databases for which I got this error were not always the same. Sometimes some of databases was backed up succesfuly, sometimes not. When I run domdsmc via TSM scheduler, which is running under Local system user ID, all databases was backed up without errors. Rule of thumb: when a scheduled backup of a TSM client fails, but a manual backup using the same TSM (or TDP) interface succeeds (or vice versa), it's a Windows permissions issue. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: problem with backup stgpool and maxprocess=2
I currently have my migprocess=3 which works fine and mounts 3 tapes when migrating data from my primary disk pool. When I run the backup stgpool primarytapepool offsitedrpool maxprocess=2 command, TSM on the remote site immediately requests the mounting of the same tape twice. Of course only one of the sessions gets the tape and then the other session goes into session wait. This sure sounds like a bug to me or maybe I have something configured wrong. I was hoping that TSM on the remote site would mount 2 separate scratches and then include them both in the same virtual volume. Otherwise the maxprocess=2 is pretty much useless if it's always going to fight itself over the same tapes. John If you use migproc=2 when you dump your diskpool then that will write two= two tapes, which will then get used in parallel by backup stg. Steve.

I had the same problem, and reported it to TSM support. Their answer was basically That's just the way it works. Obviously this isn't going to help get the data from my production system to my backup system any faster. I think it does help some. My understanding (which could be wrong) is that mostly you get lucky and it mounts two input tapes and two output tapes, but occasionally you get both processes trying to read the same input tape. --

Re: after updating client code 4.2.1.9 -- 5.1.5.9 on NT4, get new full b/u on client?
The AUTOFSRENAME option in the client options file is effective only when the node setting on the server is AUTOFSRENAME=CLIENT. If you set the nodes to AUTOFSRENAME=YES, then the renames should have occurred automatically... and yes, it was a real option for 4.2 clients. See the AUTOFSRENAME description in the UPDATE NODE reference for more info on what this does, and when; and look up the AUTOFSRENAME option in the client manual for the same kind of info (I won't bother to repeat it here). Check the QUERY FILESPACE F=D for one of these nodes. What does it show for the last backup dates for the file spaces? If the _OLD file spaces have a recent date, then at least you know why the full backups occurred last night. But if you set AUTOFSRENAME=YES on the nodes last month, then off-hand, I do not know why they wouldn't have been renamed at that time (if indeed that is the case).

Re: problem with backup stgpool and maxprocess=2
I mean media wait not session wait in my previous message. What's even weirder is that setting maxprocess=2 kicks off 2 Backup Storage Pool processes which each both create new virtual volumes. It just doesn't make any sense to me that on the remote TSM system, it still asks for the same volume for both of these sessions. I seriously doubt that the same volume on the remote system could be in 2 different virtual volumes on the local system which sounds even more like a bug to me.

V4 clients are supported with the v5 server but you will want to upgrade to the v5 client to take advantage of the bug fixes and new features.

Also, it should not be inferred that the combination of V4.2 client and V5 server will be supported after V4.2 goes out of support. Once V4.2 is out of support, it's out of support.

Re: End Of Support V4.2
It appears that TSM 4.2 has reached end of support on 4/15/03. Is this for Clients AND Server? Yes. Are most people planning on upgrading to 5.1? We cannot, as we still have Novell 4.11 clients (that are already not supported) and apparently will not work with 5.1 [Coats, Jack] But as soon as our conversion project is complete (6 months?) we will be addressing it. We have moved all of the clients to as advanced a version that will support the client and support the server. And the server is as advanced so that only the Novell 4.11 clients are holding it back (TSM client 4.2.2.0). Our WinNT and Win2K clients are 5.1.1.0. And the Novell 4.11 clients are half of our client base. Oh yes, or server is 4.2.3.1 What are the implications of staying at 4.2 or lower? When you call and they figure out your environment you get a 'have a nice day' type of answer. I understand why they must do it, but it is still traumatic for the user base.

Re: Sum of inactive versions
As discussed on this List in the past, you can't get client file sizes from server queries, so there is no way therein to sum the savings of changing retention policies. You could approach it on the basis of client queries on Inactive files. Another approach is proportion: if you have a good idea of the population of Inactive files relative to total possible population per your retention policies, then reducing the policy number by a certain percent would result in a proportional percent drop in your current server storage pool numbers. Richard Sims, BU
Re: Sum of inactive versions
As stated previously, TSM will not give you the original file size OR the real size after compression on the back end. So all you can look at is file counts. Another possible approach to the file counts is sampling When I had to do this, I actually pulled ALL the entries from the backup table for a just a handful of clients in categories that we considered typical, and used a SAS program to read and count them. From that we extrapolated the results over the entire population of clients. That approach only works if you can group your clients into categories of similar machines. But, give the size of my data base and the fact that a query against the whole backups table without using the index will NEVER complete, it's the best I could come up with! -Original Message- From: Richard Sims [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 2:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Sum of inactive versions As discussed on this List in the past, you can't get client file sizes from server queries, so there is no way therein to sum the savings of changing retention policies.

Re: Sum of inactive versions
This request is a statistical nightmare - don't promise results to be identical to what you come up with... You're missing single quotes around 'INACTIVE_VERSION', so the statement looks like: select * from backups where node_name='TSMHOST6' and filespace_name='/export/home' and state='INACTIVE_VERSION' (Not sure why you were using like references instead of =) But the number of objects won't help you for how many tapes you'll save - you need the average size of an object, too. I can think of two ways to guesstimate that value: 1. For the average size of an object on a tape: select avg(filesize) from contents where volume_name='XXX' And do a random selection of volumes. 2. Average size of an object for a particular node: select sum(physical_mb)/sum(num_files) from occupancy where node_name='NODENAME' and type='Bkup' That, times the number of objects you think you can get rid of, is the approximate amount of data space you'll get back. And some more things to think about: Not all objects will have the same number of inactive versions - some will have 0, some will have your retain_extra +1 (depending on if expiration has run or not). TDP nodes won't be effected - the application on the client controls the versions, not TSM. Do you have archives? They don't play by versions, either. Have fun - I tend to cringe when I get projects like this one. Nick Cassimatis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Think twice, type once.
NEED HELP - Restore Options - BACKUPSET
First, thanks to everyone for their suggestions/help with my previous question of improving restore performance. Unfortunately, even with all suggestions taken into account, and hoping everything works, there are still too many wildcards that could effect the process. At the current restore speed, it would last sometime into May (somewhat joking but having only moved 17 GIG (from the servers perspective, compressed) out of an occupancy of over 450GB (forgot about the other filesystem) in about 30-hours, this will take way too long). So, we are looking into alternatives, that being GENERATE BACKUPSET. Our idea is to generate the backup set and then move it down (FTP) to the AIX system (the tape drives are zOS based/attached since the TSM server is on zOS) and then run the restore from there. This would release the zOS TSM server from this long, long task, and hopefully speed things up. Especially since our zOS person wants to IPL the zOS system for the time change this weekend !!! Give enough tapes and disk space, can this be done ? Is the backupset generated by the 4.2.3.2 zOS TSM server, going to 3590 tapes, acceptable to the AIX TSM client ? What would we need to know/do to transfer the data off these tapes to the AIX system disk ? I am open for all suggestions !!

Backup a new server with an old node name.
Hi, TSM 5.1.6.2 running on AIX 5.1 I retired a server several months ago and now I wanted to use the same name for a new server to be backed up by TSM. I generated a backupset for that server and then deleted all the filespace of this old server. When I tried to do 'remove node oldserver', it complaint objects still exist on it. I guessed I can 'del volh ' to delete that backupset tape. Unfortunately, I checkout that tape from the library because I was going to store it. When I 'check it in', now TSM saying that backupset tape is not available for deletion even though it is now inside the tape library. How do I update the TSM so it knows that this tape is a backupset tape and now can be deleted from the volume history? TIA

[EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU 04/02/2003 04:08 PM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager Hi, TSM 5.1.6.2 running on AIX 5.1 I retired a server several months ago and now I wanted to use the same name for a new server to be backed up by TSM. I generated a backupset for that server and then deleted all the filespace of this old server. When I tried to do 'remove node oldserver', it complaint objects still exist on it. I guessed I can 'del volh ' to delete that backupset tape. Unfortunately, I checkout that tape from the library because I was going to store it. When I 'check it in', now TSM saying that backupset tape is not available for deletion even though it is now inside the tape library. How do I update the TSM so it knows that this tape is a backupset tape and now can be deleted from the volume history? TIA

In my case, the storage pool size is approximatively 1,4 TB, would it make sense for you, that this computational phase lasts 3 hours on a 6h0 system, having 2 cpu and 2 GB RAM ? I find it really looong ! 3 hours is a lot! My F50 usally takes 1-10 mins to run thru a storage pool of the same size. -- Best Regards Emil S.
