Re: TSM db backup delayed or hung for more than few hours

2023-05-29 Thread Vikas Arora
Hi Sarav,

May  I ask which tsm client version (dsmadmc) you are using? Can you please
try to update it with the latest version and then re-try? I had a similar
experience a few days ago and that helped!

thanks

Today it took more than 90 min to initiate db backup at db2 level where as 
admin schedule issues backup db command 90 min before and backup got completed. 
We will monitor closely.

Re: TSM db backup delayed or hung for more than few hours

Hi Sarav

We had a similar case, just yesterday. I noticed the daily full database backup 
schedule was missed a number of days. 
Then I found that five days ago the daily full backup just hanged.
Canceling the process hung as well on "pending".

I contacted our system administrator and she reported that db2 got "stuck".
She rebooted the server, and the next backup ran as usual.
If this repeats, we will open a PMR as well. 

Our version: 8.1.17

Best wishes

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM db backup delayed or hung for more than few hours

V8.1.18 

We have noticed tsm backup started at tsm level but  didn’t issue any message 
to db2 and tsm level db backup appears hung 

db2 list utilities show details - No process db2diag.log - didn’t see any 
message like ( Starting an online db backup ) 

Tried to restart tsm server to clear db2 hung process but no luck and db backup 
again hung. 

Main issue here : 

When we start tsm db backup it’s not able start and archive log became full. 
Tried to increase archive log few times. 

We tried almost 3 times ( we waited more than 1 hour ) but no luck. 

we always run db backup to clear archive log so that server will up and 
running. 

Same issue observed on last week in different server and today one more server. 

We have raised PMR to check this issue. 

Did anyone face this issue in v8.1.18 ? 

We have never seen this issue earlier but noticed after upgrade to v8.1.18 


Usually when we issue db backup command it will immediately start and we will 
see tsmdbmgr sessions in tsm server.  It looks like strange issue and causing 
outage for production jobs.
