dsmserv.lock and adsmserv.lock empty

2006-12-14 Thread Bernaldo de Quiros, Iban 1
Hi all,

I am trying to create some stop's scripts for my TSM's.

I have found in documentation, and from other people that taking a look for 
files dsmserv.lock and adsmserv.lock we can find the actual process ID to do 
kill -9 process_id to stop TSM.

But my blocking files are empty, with no content and 0 size...

Anyone knows something about this subject ¿?

Any help will be appreciate !!

Details:
TSM Server 5.2.6.3 on solaris 9

Thanks in advance,
Ibán.


Re: dsmserv.lock and adsmserv.lock empty

2006-12-14 Thread Bernaldo de Quiros, Iban 1
Hi Richard,

It is a TSM server that have two instances.

Looking at the installation path we found the files dsmserv.lock and 
adsmserv.lock but the size is 0, and the content is empty when TSM is running.

The same is happening with the second instance.

But one curious thing is that if we try to launch another TSM from the path's 
that other TSM exists previously(and is up), it won't let you because the file 
adsmserv.lock and dsmserv.lock exist - but the content is empty and filesize 
is 0. 

The FS got enough free space.

In other way, what do you think about killing TSM with kill -9 pid script or 
a dsmadmc -se=inst -id=admin -pa=admin halt script - with this script 
someone could find the admin password... :-(((

Any comments will be appreciated !!

Thanks !!

Ibán

Your posting doesn't say where you looked for the lock file.  In
Solaris, it is documented as being in /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/, as
dsmserv.lock.

Note that a zero-length file can be a consequence of a full file
system at the time of attempted file creation, so check that.  Also
check the mtime timestamp on your lock files relative to the time
that your server started, to corroborate.

Second TSM Instance

2006-11-28 Thread Bernaldo de Quiros, Iban 1
Hi all,

I am planning to create a second instance in my TSM on Solaris 9. I have read 
on the quick reference guide, that I have to export the following environment 
variables:
DSMSERV_DIR
DSMSERV_CONFIG

To the new path of my second instance.

The change will affect to my first TSM instance...¿?

What does these environment variables do ¿?

Thanks in advance,

Yeah you can create a second instance in windows. But it is done in a different 
manner than UNIX... More easy !! You can do it using the MMC.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Second TSM Instance

When we recently started with multiple instances (on aix),, I implemented it by 
creating a directory for the each instance that contains the instance specific 
files.

/tsmdata/tsminstance/config

I then created a soft link on the dsmserv binary to dsmserv_tsminstance in 
the normal tsm bin dir.  This way a ps -ef | grep dsm shows the symlink name.

In the config dir are scripts to start/stop the instance.  Here is the start 
script
for our instance TSM1.The actual tsm log and db are on raw volumes.
The dsmserv.opt and instance is setup to put volhist, dev config, accnt log, 
etc, etc in the same directory.

If I remember well in the deployment guide it exists a table where it explains 
how you can calculate your LAN throughput:

It says that you should consider from 40% to 80% of efficiency of your lan

LAN...

Hi Murugan,
That is really hard to found out exactly speed and how long time it will
take.
Take the speed you got ex. 100 MBit and divide it with 8 then do you got
maximum speed of your bandwidth. (12,5 MB/s)
If you run Windows you should probably split it with 2 then you maybe got
maximum speed from Windows. 
If you run compression then will you maybe get some better performance.

But again it's hard to really find out exact speed and time you will get.
Also the performance is also depending on if you backup to disk or tapepool,
activity on the WAN link, also how old your server is and et c. Got this
questions many times when I talk about CBMR for customers.

Make a test on 1GB data and then see how long time that will take.

Thanks

Consider virtualmountpoints; these let you separate all kinds of
processing.  Independant storage volumes, independant incremental
processing, etc.

With separate filespaces, you can also make the reclamation
independant; this can be very useful if your file sizes on that huge
tract of land are normal.  You'll be talking many many millions; it
could take days of expiration to cover it.

If it's one big filespace, expiration has to finish the whole
filespace before it goes on.  That could be sticky in your case.

If your filespace is full of big (multi-GB) files, this might not be a
big deal.

Hi, Iban -

The guiding principle for the major random access server element, its database, 
is that you give it as many disk accessors (arms, spindles) as you can afford, 
where RAID striping tends to work best.  Partition size is not the issue here, 
but distribution of I/O.  Size the aggregate size to satisfy your current 
needs, and either create a like reserve, or make your design extensible, to 
satisfy growth demands.

Disk storage pools are also random access, but with much larger unit write 
sizes, so spreading I/O is not as much a factor, and sizing tends to be large.

The Recovery Log is essentially a sequentially written area, so spreading I/O 
is not a factor.

Be mindful of I/O path capacity in your planning: having high- 
performance disks won't help if the path to them is congested.   
Spread I/O over multiple host adapters, as can be computed from load factors.  
Some computers have multiple I/O planars (buses), where you would want to avoid 
concentrating the host adapters in one planar, which would result in needless 
constriction and imbalance.

Much of this is standard computer planning, knowing the characteristics of the 
I/O to the various TSM areas.  And remember that nothing hampers a caching 
server, such as TSM is in its database handling, like inadequate real memory, 
so don't skimp there.

I am thinking of upgrading and old TDP for SAP from 3.2.0.13 to version 3.3.2 
in a HP-UX machine.

Could someone explain me the procedure to install the TDP ¿? It is my first 
installation of a TDP... ;-((

Could someone explain me also what is the administration assistant ¿?

Thank You !!

2006-08-09 Thread Bernaldo de Quiros, Iban 1
Thanks Sami !!

I use the 3.3.2 version because the machine OS is HP-UX 11.00, so could I not 
do anything more. If I remember well, is the latest version for HP-UX 11.00.

uhmm... I have some questions--- ;-)):

Why you are moving the java directory ¿? is it necessary for the TDP to run ¿?

After the installation will the TDP take the old configuration files ¿?

Thanks another time !!

Ibán,


First, I think you should use latest version 5.3.2, with that you have to 
upgrade bu/archive client and API too.


This is how I do these upgrades:

1. Uninstall TDP for mySAP.com

2. Uninstall bu/archive client and API

3. Install bu/archive client and API newer versions

4. Remove java's from /opt (like: mv /opt/java1.2 /opt/nojava1.2 and so on)

5. Install TDP for mySAP.com

6. Reinstall java's (like: mv /opt/nojava1.2 /opt/java1.2 and so on)

7. Check from your /etc/inittab is all entries correctly (remember that in 
HP-UX inittab you can use only 4 digits)

8. Testing with brarchive and filesystem client


About the AdminAssist: someone else may have better output than I :-)
We are using it and we are monitoring TDP for mySAP.com backups with it, and of 
course performance. I haven't had time to look at it very closely.


I hope that this short installation manual helps even a bit.


Regards,
Sami

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the reply !!

This error is not happening in exclusivity with this two device files it also 
happening with other device files...

There are two drives per hba, from a total of eight drives.

I will try to recreate the device files... They are STK 9840B ...
Do you know if these drives have something special at OS Level that must be set 
before or during the creation of the device files... ¿?

Thanks!!

Hi Bernaldo,

We also run TSM on HP-UX.  I don't recall ever seeing that exact message, but 
my guess is you either have a hardware problem with those two devices (or 
something along the path to those devices... are they on the same FC adapter or 
SCSI bus?),
  -- OR --
HP-UX has renumbered the device files.  I have had that happen, and I'm not 
sure why... To be sure, you should do an 'ioscan -fnC tape'  and compare it to 
the files in /dev/rmt  ('ls -l /dev/rmt').  If the devices have been givien new 
instance numbers, I have found that the easiest, surest fix is to delete the 
drives and paths from TSM and redefine them.  You should also remove any old 
unused special files from /dev/rmt by doing 'rmsf -a /dev/rmt/23m' (for 
example).  That command will remove the definition from the kernel and all of 
the special files that were associated with that device... 23m, 23mn, 23mb, 
23mnb.

Re: Test before upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3

2006-07-25 Thread Bernaldo de Quiros, Iban 1
Hi !

I have done a similar test before.

If you want, you can install the actual packages that you have 5.2.6.7 on the 
test machines

You can create volumes with dsmfmt command for log and db. You will need the 
same or more space  for the TSM database.

Then you must format those volumes using the loadformat command.

Then use a backup of your TSM database and restore it on the new machine. You 
can create a file devclass to do the backup if you have enough space, then copy 
it to test machine and do the restore.

after that I do not know if AIX upgrade is like solaris or hp-ux upgrade but 
you will have to deinstall the old packages and install the new ones (5.3.3). I 
think on AIX, perhaps you will not have to delete the old packages... do not 
know ;-

Then run your server with 
solaris: dsmserv 
hp-ux: dsmserv -upgradedb

Subject: [ADSM-L] Test before upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3
 
Hi !

I'm a TSM newbie and going to migrate our TSM server (AIX) from level
5.2.7.3 up to 5.3.3.

Before that I'll test the upgrade (especially database upgrade) using a copy
of our existing database (160GB). I copied the db and log volumes (only 1st
copy) from our halted server to another (test) machine where TSM 5.3.3 is
installed. On this machine the copied db and log volumes were in different
directories than the original path.

On the test machine I treid to create a new server instance :

# mkdir /usr/tivoli/tsm/server3

# cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/server3

# cp /...oldmachine.../dbs/dbvol*.dsm /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/dbcopy/
# cp /...oldmachine.../db/logvol*.dsm /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/logcopy/

# cp /...oldmachine.../tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt /usr/tivoli/tsm/server3/.
# cp /...oldmachine.../tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.dsk /usr/tivoli/tsm/server3/.

# ln -s /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv /usr/tivoli/tsm/server3/dsmserv3

# export DSMSERV_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin
# export DSMSERV_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server3/dsmserv.opt

after that

- edit dsmserv.opt changing TCPPORT, SHMPORT, TCPADMINPORT and
HTTPPORT for the new instance

- also dsmserv.dsk changing the old path into the new for the db and
log volumes

  i.e.: /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/dbs/dbvol20.dsm to
/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/dbcopy/dbvol20.dsm

and then I tried to start the new instance

Re: Advantages of having backup by versioning...

2006-07-17 Thread Bernaldo de Quiros, Iban 1
Thanks !!

If I have well understood...

the principal advantages are:

1- To do the same job, the number of drives to use, is less than doing a 
traditional backup method.

2- quickly restore

3- saving in media  

But do we have a best practices document that explain these three factors ¿?

thank you for your help !!

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Advantages of having backup by versioning...
 
My 2 cents worth. (Actual exchange rate will vary)

Using TSM's method of data storage we have about 3 bytes of data on tape for 
every byte on a server.  When we used a traditional backup method, we had 
almost 9 bytes of data on tape for every byte on a server.  The available dates 
to recover to are about the same.  We realized a real savings in media.

Moving from a weekly full to the always incremental allowed us to have fewer 
tape drives to complete the same work.  Our full backups required nearly 24 
hours to complete, we no longer have to plan for a large weekend run.

Doing a restore with a traditional backup method means you restore a full 
backup then up to 6 incremental backups, this can result in the same file being 
written 7 times.  TSM will restore each object only once.  If TSM is properly 
used this can save a great deal of time during the restore, if it is not 
properly setup it can cost a great deal of time due to tape mount waits.

The downside is we no longer have 9 copies of an object on tape, we only have 
two, so in theory the odds of losing an object due to bad tapes is larger, but 
it is still a number starting with a dot and some zeros.

Hi,

What kind of platform are you using for the database... ¿?

If it is UNIX you will need to use If I remember well, the gcc compiler... it 
is a C/C++ compiler 

if you invoke directly it will show you the parameters to use...

Remembering ;-))

gcc -o output_file input_file

It is necessary to modify(for the environment) and compile the userexit file...

Subject: [ADSM-L] Backup DB2 using TSM
 
Hi all,



I'm quiet new to TSM and need your expert advice and view.



Currently I'm trying to backup a db2 using TSM on the SAN. Base on the
manual, there is one step where in need to compile the user exit. Is this
step necessary especially on the compiling the file. I don't have the
compiler.



Thanks,

Re: I need some clarification

Hi,

I will try to help you...

Versions Data Exists: the maximun number of versions that you are going to 
retain.

Versions Data Deleted: the maximun number of versions that you are going to 
retain after a file was deleted from the client.

Retain Extra Versions: This parameter specifies the number of days that an 
inactive version is retained. The file exists physically on the client. (45)

Retain Only Version: This parameter specifies the number of days that a file 
must be retained after it was deleted from the client. (45)

One example:

Versions Data Exists: 5
Versions Data Deleted: 2
Retain Extra Versions: 45
Retain Only Version: 45

Hope this could helps

TSM 5.2 and Celerra NAS

2006-06-06 Thread Bernaldo de Quiros, Iban 1
Hi everybody,

Could someone explain me how TSM works with a celerra NAS, because as far as I 
know, we can not do a reclamation, and we can not move data in the storage pool 
and many other things like we do in a normal storage pool...

I do not know how to re-use volumes... should Only set only retain extra, and 
retain only in the copygroups...¿?

Any recommendations of backup/archive policy are welcome !!

Any help will be much appreciate there !!

Thanks so much...

Re: errno=11 with EDT, ACSLS, TSM

2006-04-04 Thread Bernaldo de Quiros, Iban 1
Hi Neil,
 
I was reading EDT literature and I found the following (from version 7.3):
 
dismount retry_5 sleep_60
 
This parameter defines that in a dismount process EDT will try to dismount the 
tape 5 times between periods of 60 seconds...
 
I will try it !! but I think that if we are having the same problem, it should 
work properly and if it does not work at first instance it should work in the 
following tries...
 
Tell me your comments !!
 
Best Regards,

Iban

We too are having problems with something like 1% of dismounts on our
externally managed libraries using EDT. I posted on it back in January but
didn't see any responses. The problem started following an upgrade from EDT
6.4 to 7.4.

Are you seeing any LH_ERR_TRANSPORT_BUSY errors in the acsss_event.log on
the ACSLS system that correspond to the EDT errors? Are you by any chance
using 9840C drives?

Hi Neil,
 
I am using 9840B and 9840A...
 
I am not capturing any errors on the ACSLS about LH_TRANSPORT_BUSY...
 
The errors do not seems to be the same...
 
Have you checked the tapes firmware are at the latest release ¿?

Iban

I am using
DISMOUNT RETRY_2 SLEEP_60
and this works as intended in that TSM is not aware of the retries.

However these retries didn't occur in EDT 6.4, and now our acsss_event.log
is filling with LH_TRANSPORT_BUSY errors.

I don't know whether our problems are the same. Are you seeing the same
errors as us on your ACSLS? Are you using 9840C drives?

Regards
Neil

errno=11 with EDT, ACSLS, TSM

2006-04-03 Thread Bernaldo de Quiros, Iban 1
Hi world,
 
I am experiencing some problems ocasionally with the dismount of the volumes 
coming from TSM.
 
It happens with the reclamation process, and yesterday with the backup of the 
databases.
 
It seems that TSM finish his operations normally and close the volume, but the 
process fails in the dismount of the volume because EDT could not dismount the 
volume because the tape drive seems to be accesed at this time. So this 
operation fails, EDT could not dismount the volume and returns errno=11...
 
The scenario is a TSM 5.2.6.3 with EDT 7.3.1.1 and ACSLS 6.0.1 server working 
to a powderhorn.
 
Did someone know something about these problems ¿?
 
Thanks in advance !!
 
Best Regards,
Ibán.
