Re: NTFS Security on restores
The only issues that I can think of would be Windows ACLs and SIDs. Was the NT server upgraded to W2K3? Or was the data moved from one machine to another? If so, there may be a SID issue because you're laying down files on a different system. At any rate, there are documented MS caveats for copying files across filesystems; if you do so you generally lose the original ACLs and get new ones based upon the user that is doing the copying. So perhaps the new permissions on the W2K3 system are the same as the Administrator perms, or whoever the TSM client runs as.

There is no command of feasible SQL method for determining this in the general case.

Re: Database volumes
... the output of query dbv gives only four volumes: db1a, db2a, db3a, db4a and theirs copies (miroring) : db1b, db2b, db3b, db4b (all have LV STATE = open/syncd ). I wonder why volumes db5a,6a,7a,8a and db5b,6b,7b,8b (LV STATE=closed/syncd) don't appear in the output of the command query dbv !? what's the difference between open/syncd and closed/syncd Are they database volumes again but desactivated for the moment? Do 'man lslv' in AIX for info on logical volume states. open/syncd Indicates that the LV is open and synchronized. closed/syncd Indicates that the LV has not been opened, which indicates the are dormant - not in use. Your TSM query results suggest that the volumes are not defined to be used by TSM. (Your lslv display shows no mount points, indicating the use of the LVs as raw logical volumes.) You might search back in your historical Activity Logs to see what may have transpired regarding the unused volumes. Richard Sims, BU

Oh, well, one other thing maybe... that generally is against the rules of tsm say you have a file system /folks and under that you have directories /folks/bob /folks/dick /folks/jane and Susan wants in but has excessive files so she gets her own file system mounted at /folks/susan ~maybe~ it the user is trying to restore the files for filesystem /folks/susan (which isn't actually, currently mounted) so the files are going into the directory /folks/susan which is under the filesystem /folks just a thought...

So, yes, it is possible for a single connection to run in a loop through the network - packets going in on one TSM server ethernet card, and going out another different card. We solved it with static routes on the TSM Server. Observed tracffic going back to the server via the defined defaultroute, regardless of the netmask. No other way to force the packets to the right network. Even a static route to the network didn't work, we had to set routes for each client. Static network routes will work - just remember that the gateway you define must be on one of your locally attached subnets. We've done this kind of thing when we've had SP switch router failures - set up an SP node as a router, and fiddle with static network routes. Works quite nicely. Host routes shouldn't be necessary.

What I am trying to do is figure out the best way to move data that is in the copypool from J type tapes to K type tapes. I could do it with the move data using a reconstruct=yes, but this is quite slow. I was thinking I could load a few of the copy pool tapes into the library, copy the data to a higher capacity tape, then use the Move DRMedia command to move it the newly filled tape to vault status Does this sound like it is possible?

exporting a client
Im am in process of moving a client node from one server to another. I have already exported the client and the policy. Now I want to export the client node's data. How would I go about doing this? From looking at the admin guide the way to go would be export server command. But this command does not have any option of moving one client node. seems to move all of the server data. Any help would be great TIA tae
Re: exporting a client
The EXPORT command does it. I am currently running an EXPORT NODE TO SERVER to move the data from one TSM server to another. This is the command I used/the WEB GUI generated. What you are looking for is the FILEDATA=ALL (or you can choose Backups, activebackups, archives, etc.) EXPORT NODE HYPATIA.VCU.EDU FILESPACE=/usr/local/db/backups FILEDATA=ALL TOSERVER=TSM-AGENA PREVIEWIMPORT=NO MERGEFILESPACES=YES REPLACEDEFS=NO Tae Kim [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/04/2003 02:32 PM Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:exporting a client Im am in process of moving a client node from one server to another.

TSM on AIX now, platform change coming?
We are now running TSM 4.2 on an AIX box. Not only is the TSM level unsupported, so is the AIX level. And the box is running on empty, plus we are really tight on storage, both disk and tape. We are looking for a new solution. A TSM upgrade is obvious. Platform is not. One thought is to get a new/bigger AIX box with more disk, and move to LTO tape. Another idea is move to Sun and LTO. Any thoughts on comparing AIX vs. Sun for a TSM server? While unpacking some stuff, I found the TSM Server for VM tape. We don't have disk or tape issues with VM, so I am wondering if that is worth pursuing. One obvious down side is that we are still on VM/ESA 2.4, but we will be moving to z/VM after we get the cost issue under control and I install it. Another question is tape management. We use EPIC now, will that even work with TSM? If not, what do people running TSM on VM use for tape management? Does anyone here actually have their TSM server on VM?

Linda - Your added info, particularly about tapeutil not working, jogged some memories of postings from about four years ago. Rummaging around in my QuickFacts, I dredged up: ... Or it could be that the same device is defined as being accessed by multiple device drivers: you run happily for weeks, and then some other facility goes to access the device, which causes the other device driver to be loaded which supplants yours. I'm wondering now if that's what's happening. I'm not a Solaris guy: perhaps there's one out there who could lend more. Possibly, incidental OS maintenance work by your Solaris people is inciting the problem, or happenstance use of a seemingly unrelated tape drive in that same system. One thing I came upon in researching this which may or may not help: In the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers: Installation and User's Guide manual, in the Solaris Device Driver (IBMtape) chapter, Special Files section, there is a description of a ...device hierarchy established to support I/O for an IBM SCSI tape subsystem. This may help validate what actually has control at the moment. Wish I could help more definitively, Richard Sims, BU From personal experience, this can definitely be the case. Double check your SCSI device driver configurations - at our site, the Solaris 'st' driver is configured to attach SCSI IDs 8-15, and the IBMtape SCSI IDs 0-6. This works quite nicely for our purposes. Cheers, -- Paul Ripke Unix/OpenVMS/TSM/DBA I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. -- Douglas Adams
Re: TSM on AIX now, platform change coming?
Have you consider TSM on Linux on Intel? I just assisted a university change from AIX with 3590 to Linux (cant remember the IBM model of server) with 4560 (2 x 4560/LTO1 with 4 drives). This Uni is probably smaller than you guys - but non the less they are quite happy with the change... ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, IBM Tivoli Software Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 05/12/2003 09:51:41 AM: We are now running TSM 4.2 on an AIX box.

Re: DRM and checkin
I'm just doing this sort of stuff in reverse We have a 3494 with mixed J and K tapes that is bursting at the seams (750 slots about 1400 tapes). Being government, the wheels turn extremely slowly and our 3592 upgrade won't happen until February, but because its going to happen we can't spend any money on an interim solution. Thus we have to maximise the capacity of the existing equipment. To do this I'm moving all offsite data to Js and onsite to Ks. So, every day, I check my scratches. J's get explicity allocated to an offsite copypool with define volume. I also run an update libvol ... status=pri, because otherwise the status doesn't change until the tape is written to and I think I've got scratches that I don't have. K tapes stay as scratch. When it comes time to write the copypool, the explicitly defined volumes are used first so eventually the copypools migrate to Js I started this about a month ago and it was a bit of a chore for the first two weeks. Now its down to just 4 or 5 tapes a day to handle. All thats left is a leisurely move data on some long term archives. Regards Steve Harris AIX and TSM Admin Queensland Health.
