Re: Performance of TSM 4.1.4 with Solaris
500% increase?! We are using UFS right now and not RAW. I have been a little hesitant to migrate to RAW though. Any suggestions for keeping it as painless as possible ? What did you do, just set your migration threshold to 0, backup the log, backup the db, repartion the disks, restore above from the backups? What did you do about getting the data back onto the disks? Thanks for any help that you can provide!

Re: Determining deleted files
Scott, well, I can't say that this is the best way to do it, but this is what I've been doing. I have ( and I'm guessing most folks probably do ) an email that goes out to the SysAdmins of the machines that we back up with the status of their backup ( completed,failed,missed,?,etc ) and some other useful info on the backups of individual nodes as can be assertained from the activity log. Some useful error codes are as follows. ANE4987E - Files that are in use at backup time ( and failed for that purpose ) ANE4007E - Files that TSM was denied access to. ( TSM couldn't read the file ) ANE4005E - Files that have probably been deleted I can't say that's it's 100% accurate, but it's not too bad. Anyway, that's what I'm doing, I don't have any idea on your second question. -ed Ed Anderson Unix Systems Administrator University of Mississippi Medical Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002/03/20 09:30:29 AM I would like to use TSM to determine what files have been deleted from a file server the previous day (or any given day if possible). For example, on Monday TSM backed up the file bob.txt, but on Tuesday that file had been deleted so it was not backed up. I would think that some sort of query on Retain Only Version or Versions deleted may do it, but I don't know how. A related question: Can I use TSM to determine if any files have been drastically reduced in size? For example on Monday bob.txt was 100K when backed up, but on Tuesday it was only 1K when backed up. I would not have a specific file in mind, so this would also need to be done on all files. Thanks for any insight. Scott Foley

Re: root required to kill TSM daemons?
Ok, Disclaimer #1 - I have never tried this.

I don't think so, I think it works like Kerberos, where you connect to the server, agree on some hash, then apply that hash to your password, sending only the hashed text as your password.

Event log Vs. Q filespace f=d
Folks, I'm going to try and make what's going on as clear as possible, if I don't, please ask for elaboration. I hope one or more of y'all can lend me some insight as to exactly what is going on here. I have a node ( NT4.SP6, TSM client 4.2.1 ) which begins backing up during it's scheduled backup window ( which is 2 hours long ), but doesn't finish until 6 hours later. This node seems to lie dormant from about 15minutes into its scheduled startup window until 5 hours later at which point it successfully finishes its daily incremental. So, this being the case the command q event * * begindate=-1 begintime=17:30 enddate=today endtime=08:00 ( our scheduled backups run from 17:30 to about 05:00 ) yields a status of either Failed or ?. But a q filespace PROBLEMNODE f=d Says that the Last Backup Completion Date/Time : was this morning. Has anyone seen this where the event log and q filespace NODE f=d conflict? Any ideas about this at all? Here's some more info you may find helpful. TSM Server = Solaris 2.6, TSM Server Version 4.1.4 Client Node = NT4 SP6, TSM Client 4.2.1 ( FYI, the node is running Oracle, but we don't have TDP for Oracle. The machine is making DB Dumps ( from the way that I understand it ), the dsm.opt/sys file has excluded Oracle's Data Directories, but it is supposed to have the Dump Files included ). The Actlog doesn't have much useful info, it shows the Scheduled Session start, And then starts the ANE495?I Messsages about how many files backed up, total size of the backup, etc. Our Maxsessions are set at 50, and the maxschedsessions is 25. We have 20 NT nodes during the aforementioned scheduled startup window, but I haven't seen anything in the actlog about the maximum number of possible sessions being reached. What we've done so far to try and rectify the situation : 1) Upgraded the TSM client from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 2) Stopped some of the tasks running from the Task Scheduler on the NT machine ( it was doing an Expire Blocks every 15minutes, I hope that means something to you Oracle folks ) it was my belief at first that this was the process on the box that was causing the backup to fail/ lie dormant for 5 hours. 3) Increased the backup window to 2 hours from 1 hour.

Here's q devclass output.
3590CART Sequential 23590E-C 3590- DRIVES
Now, I get really confused trying to sort out IBM part numbers vs. what vendors use to
describe IBMs products, but it sounds like you have at least the same disk drives as
we do ( though we're using the native 10GB tapes ). And I have the following script
to show the amount of data on all the tapes in a STG POOL.
select volume_name as $1 Vol,est_capacity_mb AS Est
Capacity,pct_utilized,(est_capacity_mb*pct_utilized*.01) AS written_mb from volumes
where stgpool_name=upper('$1')
the POINT of this all? Yes est_cap _SHOULD_ be reflecting a higher number than it is..
We're using the smaller tapes, and getting more than 18GBs on ( most of ) them. Maybe
changing the setting of FORMAT and that may help out with utilization of your tape
space. ( Of course, it might also render all of your tapes useless.. I've never messed
around with it )

Hi,
Customer is using TSM V4.1 server on Windows 2000, 3494-ATL, 3590B1A drives which
should support the Extended Length cartridges and 3590 model K cartridges (20GB
uncompressed).
q vol reports: Estimate Capacity is about 18GB, Status is FULL, Pct Util is about
95-100% and Pct. Reclaimable Space is about 0-5% (There is no tape with more then
18GB).
Compression is done on the Drive side.
FORMAT = DRIVE is defined on the Devclass.
I would expect that the Estimate Capacity should indicate the actual capacity on the
tapes (after compression), regardless of what is defined on the Devclass.
Is this a real problem or only a report problem?
Any idea?

shouldn't be writing to the filesystem to back it up ( that's what the adsm server is
for ), unless you're executing dsmc from withing that filesystem, at which point you

We have just installed the 4.2.1.0 client code on a Linux system with
a mixture of ext2 and reiserfs file systems. A 'dsmc inc' command will
consistently back up all but one of the file systems. The file system
can be backed up successfully if it is specified explicitly on the

reiserfs file system. As far as I can tell, the only thing unusual
about the file system is that it is mounted read-only. Is this
