Re: Throttle a Windows client?
Hi, No, you can not limit the bandwidth within Windows for one application. However some application have their own setting for throttling ex. Backup Exec. By design TSM client is set to use as much resources it needs during backup ex. cpu, memory and network. Regarding network traffic, IBM reluctant refuse to understand and implement the consept of QoS, Qualtity of Service, in TSM. Thinking of just one server/one OS when you try to implement a restriction of how much network trafic TSM should be allowed to generate doesn't scale very well. You could talk to your network guys and ask them to implement QoS on port 1500/1501 on their routers and make sure that TSM only uses thoose two ports. //Henrik -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Trinh Sent: den 9 juni 2008 18:30 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Throttle a Windows client?

Re: Quota for clients?
Schemes to limit client activity are contrary to the overall purpose of TSM, where denying a department the ability to safeguard its data can result in losses which would be painful to the organization. But, TSM server administrators do have to deal with pests at various times. Where social engineering does not work, and measures are sanctioned to safeguard TSM service to the community as a whole, more draconian measures can be pursued. By various means (e.g., accounting records monitoring), client activity can be gauged and quelled by measures such as setting MAXNUMMP to 0, which stops backup/archive tape use but allows needed restore/retrieve. A real nuisance deserves a LOCK Node for some period of time. Richard Sims at Boston University
Re: Quota for clients?
Maybe you should have whoever is responsible for the system give you a list of the files they need backed up, not to exceed XXX Mb's. And just backup up what's on the list. That way at least they will know what they have protected. You could limit the size of each backup by assigning the node it's own disk storage pool, set to the size limit, and don't allow the pool to migrate. But chances are pretty good that Critical files will be missed. Why even bother backing up if you can't restore what's needed? -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Sims Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 7:25 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Quota for clients?

Re: Quota for clients?
There are times when a nearly trivial change replicated across a file system (I'm thinking of NTFS permissions changes; I'm sure there are others) will force unusually large backups. In cases like that, I'd like the TSM backups to continue to run into normal business hours but in a way that minimizes network impact on Real Business Operations. Multiply that across hundreds of nodes as a new policy is enacted, and the problem becomes very noticeable. We have to be careful not to let the tail wag the dog. TSM exists to serve the needs of the organization, not to dictate the way the organization does business. If the business needs require that I keep TSM from hogging network bandwidth, it would be nice to have a more delicate method than just cancelling the running backup session.

Re: NetApp as direct client
Richard, If you mean performing NDMP dumps via ethernet to a TSM server it is relatively simple. If you desire a non-root user on the NetApp to run backups otherwise just enable NDMP and use the root user account on the NetApp. On the NetApp Create a backup user Generate an NDMP password for this user ndmpd password mybackupuser Enable NDMP - On the TSM server Define a TOC_destination when you define the copygroup separate from where the data will go. Register the NetApp as a node type=NAS password = Generated_password Define the datamover type=NAS dataformat=netappdump userid=mybackupuser password=generated_password If you want to backup specific snapshots - - Define virtualfilesystems def virtualfsmap filer /virtual_name /vol/volume /.snapshot/snapshotID Backup data backup node filer /virtual_name --- If you are going through a firewall, you will probably want to restrict which ports are used to a smaller range. In dsmserv.opt - NDMPPortRange low_port, high_port And restart the TSM server. Cheers, Neil Strand Storage Engineer - Legg Mason Baltimore, MD.

Hi to all I just upgrade my Tsm server Version 5, Release 5, Level 0.3 on an AIX-RS/6000 and got few problems that never occur before: 1. I got this message trying to delete a tape with the data on it (discardd=yes) ANR2229W Discard data process terminated for volume 72L2 - internal server error detected. (SESSION: 10424, PROCESS: 72) ANR2229W: Discard data process terminated for volume volume name - internal server error detected. Explanation The process that was deleting data for the volume shown, in preparation for deleting the volume, has ended due to a server internal error. System action The server does not delete the volume User response Contact your service representative. 2. Got this message trying to do a reclaim on a specific storage (try to do a move data got the same error) ANR8376I Mount point reserved in device class I2000CLASS, status: RESERVED.
