Windows server 2008 cluster db backup
Hi all, I'm running a MX cluster on two Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise servers. TSM B/A client 5.5.2.12 is installed on both. How do I backup the MS clusterdb?

Re: Mixed LTO3 and LTO5 tape drives
We have the same library as you, are the label prefixes different on the media types and have you set a cartridge assignment policy which means that the library won't take the media into the logical library without being told what the sequence of labels are???

Problem with NFS mounted FILE storage pool
I have FILE copy storage pool for NFS-mounted file system from Disaster Site via 1Gb Ethernet. Everything is working fine, but I faced problem during Disaster Site testing, when NFS file system is unavailable. TSM Server is hanging after disconnection of Ethernet network due to problems with NFS in spite of fact that remote copy pool is not used. I have found workaround: - stop TSM server before Disaster Site activation; - unmount NFS file system; - start TSM server; - stop TSM Server after completion Disaster Site testing; - mount NFS file system; - start TSM Server. This workaround is very painful. Maybe somebody can propose some better solution? Thank you very much in advance. Grigori G.

Need to perform simple restoration test from offsite tape
Hello, I'm required to perform data restoration test from some offsite tapes. I have never done before this but did some reading from internet. Below is my understanding : 1) Check offsite tapes into library. 2) Update the status of OFFSITE to readonly. (I'm not sure about this, this appear as one of the step I read in an article. I assume that this is to prevent accidental writes to the offsite tapes). update vol * wherestgpool=offsitepoolname whereaccess=offsite access=readonly 3) Update the status on onsite tapes to DESTROYED or UNAVAILABLE. I assume I can update invidivual volumes/tapes to unavailable update vol * wherestgpool=onsitepoolname access=DESTROYED or UNAVAILABLE (The article only mentioned DESTROYED. I saw the UNAVAILABLE option from the command reference. I think I would use UNAVAILABLE as it sounds less harmful. I don't know what is the impact if I use DESTROYED option as we will need to continue to use the onsite tapes after testing) 4) Restore data. 5) After restoration of data, update the onsite pool to readwrite and update the offsite pool to readwrite (This step is not mention in the article I read, I assume this is the step to normalize things) Is my understanding correct?

Re: Need to perform simple restoration test from offsite tape
Actually there is no difference between DESTROYED and UNAVAILABLE. I would recommend to use DESTROYED at Disaster Site and UNAVAILABLE during testing at main site. I think you finally need to update all offsite volumes to status OFFSITE, not READWRITE. Grigori G.

Everyone, Thanks for the ideas. I have considered the incrbydate and was concerned with the problem that Grigori mentions below. I have tried to sell management on Fastback as well, but cannot get them to cough up the money for it. As an update... Doing some further investigation I have found that we are completely saturating the network for about 4 hours every night. So we are looking at some networking solutions. Also, from reading some posts about systemstate in windows 2008, we excluded the systemstate from backup last night on 2 of our problem servers and the backup time reduced from about 7 hours to 13 minutes. Again, thanks for your responses and ideas. cory Cory L Heikel Tivoli Systems Administrator Penn State Hershey Medical Center (717)531-7972 The opposite of stress is Options... -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Grigori Solonovitch Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2010 1:05 AM To: ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu Subject: Re: Change rate performance question But keep in mind http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC50766.

Without more detail, I'd suggest trying an online image backup of some selected clients and see what difference it makes. You might find, however, that there are pros and cons for image vs incremental - in terms of storage used, performance of other operations during backup, and ability to restore individual files. You could also consider using -incrbydate - just so long as you regularly do a 'normal' incremental since -incrbydate misses deleted files and isn't the most secure option. Where is the delay though - have you looked at the instrumentation to determine if it really is filesystem scanning that is the slow bit? Please consider the environment before printing this Email.

Re: Windows server 2008 cluster db backup
In 2008 the cluster config and cluster db are backed up via VSS, as a part of the systemstate. We are just now moving to 2008 so I haven't done any testing with it yet to see how/if TSM has a recommended solution. However, seeing that it is part of the SS you should be able to test it by running a backup and then either querying the components of the system state (or use the GUI) to see if it is present. On another note: Many opinions are that in most cases there is little need to restore the clusterdb from backup since 2008 clusters use the Majority Node Set model. This means that instead of the cluster config db being on a quorum drive each node of the cluster has its own copy locally, as well as backup copies stored with a tmp file extension. When a node is recovered or rebuilt and re-joined into the cluster the surviving nodes provide the new node a copy of the current database (following the process in links below). Simply stated a copy of the db (and tmp backups) are located locally on every node of the cluster.

TDP Exchange indiviual mailbox restore failure
Hi all, during the installation of the TDP for Exchange product for a new environment we ran into the problem that the restore of an individual mailbox to a .pst file didn't work, the trace showed the error 'MAPI_E_NETWORK_ERROR'. TSM support suggested that it is the problem noted in http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21445283 . However, the 'workaround' described in this technote can't be applied in our environment (the Mailbox Server and CAS roles are on different servers for a reason, and between these servers is a firewall preventing Outlook clients from talking directly to the mailbox server).
