Question about BACKUP: zOS USS 5.3.2 Client
Hi to the few zOS Users, we have installed the new USS 5.3.2 Client and the ACLs cannot be backuped. The new options SKIPACL and SKIPACLUPdatecheck are set to No. Has anybody experience with this - thanks!
manual tape drive
I've set up TSM 5.3 in a test environment with an external dat drive. Unfortunately since I've only worked with automated libraries I don't know the process for checking in a scratch tape to use with TSM. I also haven't been able to find the solution in the manuals so I was wondering if someone could help me out please? I guess I'm not sure why the commands seem to be readily available for automated libraries but not this case. I've been able to label some tapes just fine.

Once the label is read, it is registered to the storage pool. When the tape is emptied it is deleted. hth, bob

favorite management class settings
I was wondering if some might like to pass on what you consider to be your favorite management class with settings for the backup copy groups. I'm curious if there seems to be settings that tend to be similar in that customers have agreed they are willing to live with, more or less that is. I understand there will be differences and there could also be additional ones for each domain. I am more or less curious about the default settings you have set up. Also how have these settings affected the size of your database? The reason I'm asking is because I'd like to make changes when this new system comes in, and I'm also curious how you deal with so many requests to, well, want to keep everything. Do you also have the same issues of people just not understanding how it works and still wanting to manage data the old way so they don't have to deal with making a decision?

Re: manual tape drive
I guess I should have passed on that I pre labeled one tape and when TSM kicked off a db backup it asked for a tape, which I inserted, but TSM never recognized it. A migrate did the same thing. Since there is only one drive at least I know I didn't screw that up... I also have read via messages and info on the admin console screen in 5.3 that scratch tapes need to be checked in. It sort of tells you how to do this but locating it hasn't been possible yet. Well I'll give it another try and see what happens.

Re: REMOVAL OF TDP BACKUPS
Gee, Thanks for the INFO, nut creating a new node will not allow the information from the old server to be removed. I need to be able to remove the old TDP backups off server A while the new backups are increasing on server B. I have only seen a way of removing all or none of the backups from server A. Once I have hit 15 weeks on Server B, all the backups can be removed from server A. The reason I ask is so I can free up the tapes the backups are currently using.

Rename the current node in TSM to something else. Create a new node for TDP notes. When you have enough backups to cover your retention period under your new notes node, delete the old notes file spaces and node. Dear All, I have an old 4.1 TSM Server that was backing up Notes TDP databases and logs. There are currently about 15 weeks worth of backups on this server, as we have moved the Notes backups to a new server TDP is no longer telling TSM on the old server when the backups can be removed. This means I have to keep the full 15 weeks on the old server until a new 15 week copy has been created on the new server, by looking at the node I can only see the DB and log backups. Can any tell we if there is a way of expiring the TDP information from the 4.1 TSM server as the backups build up on the new TSM server.

Re: lto2's and TSM 5.3
It is a misconception that using collocation means you have to dedicate one tape per cleint. As the previous poster noted, you can implement collocation by group in TSM 5.3. Prior to 5.3, you could always control the amount of tape collocation uses by setting the MAXSCRATCH parm on your storage pool. If you have 100 clients, and set MAXSCRATCH to 25, then TSM will stack (approximately) 4 clients per tape. Pro: Less work (as in INSTANT) to implement than collocation groups. Con: You have to keep and eye on your MAXSCRATCH parm. As the amount of data in your library grows, you will naturally have to increase MAXSCRATCH.

I'm in the process of building a system to replace the one I have. It will run AIX5.3 and TSM 5.3. My plan is to keep the old system around and let the data expire off but lets talk about the new system. Because I have little experience with 5.3 maybe those that are using it can give me some advice. Because these tapes hold so much data, using collocation as it is on TSM 5.2 seems a bit much, one tape per node. I have heard a little about the way collocation has changed but for those using it on 5.3 would you relay your experiences and recommendations. Disk pools and tape drives will not be an issue but with almost 300 nodes the system will be busy at times. Please relay your experience as to how you run schedules. Do you have any nodes/schedules that run direct to tape? Archives. Do you keep a second copy offsite or are they just sent offsite and recalled if needed for reclamation or retrieval of data? Anything you would do differently if you had the chance to redo your system? Any other recommendations with TSM 5.3? I have a windows server already running TSM 5.3 just so I can take a look at it. No tape drives just a bit of disk to run a couple of desktop computers to as a test. It is also running the admin console and my plan is to leave it there and not install it on the TSM server.

TSM Data Recovery Tests
Our site has requested that I conduct random server recovery exercises involving restoring the data from tape onto a spare test server and comparing it to the data that is in my production environment. Where I am running into a problem is when it comes to the test server logging into TSM to restore data from a server that is in production and does nightly scheduled backups. Every time I login via the TSM client and begin the full restore (which can take overnight because of the amount of data) it stops the actual production server from logging in at it's scheduled time to do its backup. Is there a way for my test server to login and do restore of a production server without preventing the production server from doing it's scheduled backups? Mel Dennis

TDP for SQL cross-machine restore config questions

Currently, each machine is defined to TSM as a node named machine_SQL Problem: TSM is used for cloning prod databases to test machines (cross-machine restores). This is done by our SQL admin via the TDP gui. Frequently, he forgets to undo the changes this process makes to the .opt and .cfg files, and backups get sent to the wrong node name, or fail. Question: 1. I want to script a front-end that will allow him to plug in the machine instance and then execute the gui using overrides, but I'm not sure exactly which ones are needed and which ones are not. 2. Assume I want to restore a database from instance ADAM\EVE into instance CAIN\ABEL. 3. If I'm on server CAIN and I specify SQLSERVER=CAIN\ABEL and FROMSQLSERVER=ADAM\EVE , do I still have to somehow override the node name as well? 4. If I used a generic node name like SQLSERVER on all the backups, would that buy me anything on the restore side as far as any machine being able to see all the instance backups? thanks.
