Backing out of a container storagepool

[David Ehresman]

We have some data in a container storagepool and now have the need to move it 
back to a virtual tape pool.  Is there anything other than updating the 
copygroup to point to the vtl and do full backups that I can do to move the 
data out of the container pool to a primary vtl pool?

Cloning a TSM instance

[David Ehresman]

I am running TSM 7.1.7.100 on AIX 7.1.

I have done a mksysb backup of my TSM machine and restored it to a different 
but similar machine.  I've given it new tsmdbs, tsmlog, and tsmarchlog.  When I 
try to do a dsmserv restore db or a dsmserv format, I get what appear to be db2 
errors.  Any ideas?

If it's a VTL, why not just increase the number of "tape" drives?

HI all

At my current gig, we are running a TSM VE environment.  Server is AIX, storage 
agents and vBS on physical linux X86_64.  Disk is on V840 flash, back end is 
protectier VTL. TSM Server 7.1.1,  Storage agent 7.1.1, TSM For VE 7.1.1 can't 
go higher because  of an old Vcenter version.

Backups run  using SAN transport to VBS servers, through the storage agents 
direct to the VTL. Now we are ramping up, adding more VMware clusters.
Now everywhere else in TSM, when you run up against the devclass device limits, 
TSM queues nicely and waits for a tape drive. However for the VE backups,  when 
we have used all the drives (48!) we get a "server media mount not possible" 
error and a failed backup for the VM.

Have others found this?  Is there a work around?

Regards

Steve

Hi guy's,

I don't know if all of you realise what kind of gigantic performance step
IBM has made with the new version of Spectrum Protect for Virtual
Environments for VMware but I think it's pretty incredible.

The magic parameter is VMMAXRESTORESESSION.
See the results below, 1 session was the max that 7.x could do, see the
speeds below when I crank up the sessions.
Remember, this is restoring a single VM on a single datamover using HOTADD.

10 is the max setting for this value, i'm interested to know if you guy's
are seeing the same kind of results.
Oh, and the upgrade was a breeze, if you aren't using the tagging features
it's just next next finish and the restores go so much faster.

TSM DB spaces

[David Ehresman]

I am running TSM 7.1.5 on AIX 7.1.  My TSM DB is currently made up of five 
120GB filespaces.  I need to dramatically increase the size of the DB as we 
prepare for dedup.  I know I can have 128 DB filespaces.  What, if any, are the 
performance implications of just adding more filespaces vs staying with a 
smaller number of much larger filespaces?  The filespaces are SAN attached XIV 
with the data spread over 180 drives.

Re: Prompted Clients Missing backups

[David Ehresman]

IF
You have an outstanding schedule pending
AND IF
You then restart the CAD, the CAD will start a scheduler run to see what is the 
next scheduled event.  If one is currently pending, that scheduler run will run 
that pending schedule.  In this case, the TSM server has not reached out to the 
client, the client initiated the interaction.

The "decommission vm" command is supposed to inactivate all active backups for 
the specified TSMVE VM..  So they should expire after the retd period for the

The 30 day retention period for a specific backup copy starts when TSM 
discovers that the corresponding file on the client system's disk has been 
deleted or updated. TSM never got the opportunity to make that discovery for 
backup copies of the files on the client system's disk at the time of the last 
backup. Those backup copies will stay around until a TSM administrator forces 
the TSM server to get rid of them. I usually deal with this by executing 
"delete filespace" commands on a deletion date negotiated with the client 
system administrator (usually 60 days after the last backup session).

re-initializing a tsm instance

[David Ehresman]

Is there a procedure for re-initializing a tsm instance?  I want to reuse 
existing tsm db and log filespaces but re-initialize it as a fresh empty 
instance.

I'm thinking I can just erase all the files in the db and log directories and 
then rerun the initial initialize gui.  Am I missing something?

AIX 7.1 & TSM 7.1.7.0.

Re: occupancy

[David Ehresman]

A "delete filespace" will delete the filespace from all storage pools.  If it 
were me, I'd do a "move nodedata DINO from=DEVT_PRIM  to=WIN2K_PRIM" to move 
the remaining data from the one stgpool to the other and let normal TSM 
expiration sort out what needs to stay.

Hello.   I just stumbled on this yesterday and I don't when this happened or 
what I did to make this happen. (I'm assuming it was part of a different 
storagepool/domain at some point)

I have a node which I'll call DINO, it's been backing up fine for some time now.
When I do an 'FI' on it, I see this:

Node Name: DINO
   Filespace Name: DINO\SystemState\NULL\System State\SystemState
 FSID: 1
 Platform: WinNT
   Filespace Type: VSS
Is Filespace Unicode?: Yes
 Capacity: 0 KB
 Pct Util: 0.0

Node Name: DINO
   Filespace Name: \\dino\c$
 FSID: 2
 Platform: WinNT
   Filespace Type: NTFS
Is Filespace Unicode?: Yes
 Capacity: 99 GB
 Pct Util: 36.7

Looks ok, but when I do a 'occ' on it, I see this:

DINO Bkup DINO-1 WIN2K_PRIM  90,132   -6,420.42
 \System-
 State\NU-
 LL\System
 State\Sy-
 stemState
DINO Bkup \\dino\c$-2 DEVT_PRIM  314   -3.54
DINO Bkup \\dino\c$-2 WIN2K_PRIM 113,919   -   54,917.20

I need to get rid of the c: on the storage pool called 'DEVT_PRIM'.  Both had a 
FSID of '2'.  If I delete the FI with FSID=2, do we know if it will delete both 
occ from both storage pools?   (I can always back it up again afterwards).   Or 
is there a way to delete just the FSID=2 for storage pool DEVT_PRIM?

Thanks!

Richard, 

I have recently moved several TSM servers between AIX systems (without 
restoring the DBs). Some points of attention:

On a system without TSM, you must first install TSM software. You will also 
need some tweaking of the DB registry.

1. correct hostname in /sqllib/db2nodes.cfg 
2. /etc/services must contain:

DB2_  60016/tcp
DB2__160017/tcp
DB2__260018/tcp
DB2__END  60019/tcp

Ports can vary, but must be in sequence

3. Instance "update": /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/instance/db2iupdt 
4. As instance owner: ~/sqllib/adm/db2set -g DB2SYSTEM=
5. dsm.sys for DBbackups has to be present (location depends on the TSM server 
version)

If you need more details please PM me.

No, DB2 won't start at all.

SQL6031N  Error in the db2nodes.cfg file at line number "0".  Reason code "11".

I'm not sure how to state this, but I think there is some configuration in DB2 
(that would be in on the boot drive) that points to the TSM database TSMDB1.  I 
think that configuration is missing.

For example, I found out about this cmd fighting a db2 problem some time ago.  
Run on a working TSM system:
   ./db2ilist
   tsmuser  (our db2 owner)
Run on this recovered system:
   ./db2ilist(no output)

In previous installs I had to modify the startup script to do a db2start then

This was under redhat linux 6.

Hello,

We have a TSM v7.1.4 instance called TSMOC.  Its sole purpose in life is to run 
Operations Center.  It runs on an AIX lpar that's used for some other things.

Last Friday the AIX rootvg was lost during a live migration to a new storage 
system.  We decided to recover by installing a mksysb from a partner lpar which 
had the same AIX version and application version, but NOT TSM.  So the lpar got 
back up and running quickly - only took an hour, but it's missing the TSM 
install.  All the TSM instance files (dsmserv.opt, etc) and DB2 filesystems 
(data, logs, sqllib, etc) exist with all their data.  They weren't lost since 
they were on a different lun and volume group.

We installed TSM v7.1.4 and I then created the AIX db2 instance owner and 
group.  We then tried to start TSM.  We got msgs below.

ANR7801I Subsystem process ID is 16056324.

Removing containers

[David Ehresman]

My container storagepool has a reuse=0. I have some containers marked as

will they be removed?

Re: Which process generates ANR1423W messages?

[David Ehresman]

Mu guess is that the time specified for reuse delay on the stgpool the volume 
has expired for that volume.  When a vol goes scratch, it starts a reuse delay 
timer and after that expires it is normally deleted.  If the volume is offsite, 
it is not deleted until it comes home.

  Does anyone know which process generates ANR1423W messages?  The message 
itself is somewhat innocuous:

ANR1423W Scratch volume VV is empty but will not be deleted - volume access 
mode is “offsite”

  but the intriguing part is there is no session or process associated with the 
message, either in the activity log or in the ACTLOG table.  Nor are there any 
entries in the summary table for these entities - and the only process running 
at the time was a storage pool backup for a different storage pool.  There were 
client backups in progress, but this message originated from the server.

  I had two volumes with errors that I was struggling to get the data off for 
several days - and suddenly, magically, an ANR1423W appeared for both volumes.  
Headache gone, curiosity piqued.

We are just starting to roll out replication and I have a problem.

Many months ago, I tested replication/configuration on a single node.  Now
I need to delete the node and all of its filespaces.

But the target server used for replication testing has been taken
down/unavailable.

Now when I issued delete filespaces for the node on the source server, the
delete process has hung. Attempting to cancel the delete process has been
hung for >24-hours and is starting to cause log pinning issues.

I am ready to bounce this server (RH Linux with 6.3.5.100 server) but still
don't know how to delete these filespaces without hanging things up, again.

I have turned off replication on the source server. Tried to update the
node to disable replication but that didn't seem to help/take.

We have an IBM v7000 as container storage on our local system and an IBM v5000 
as container storage on our remote (DR) system.

I agree with the David Nixon's comment about the number of TSM server upgrades

This inline deduplication and compression thing really is amazing;

Deduplication Savings: 153,840 G (90.83%)
  Compression Savings: 8,711 G (56.07%)
Total Space Saved: 162,550 G (95.97%)

So on top of the 90.83% deduplication saving (that dont' require any

compression making it a total of 95.97% space saved.
These figures require a lot of duplicate data of course but still,
containerpools FTW!

Re: deleing data from a containerpool

[David Ehresman]

I can assure you that compression was NOT part of the earlier releases on 7.1.5 
on AIX.  I had to painfully tear down a system we were trying to convert to 
because compression was not included in the early 7.1.5 releases and dedup 
alone was not meeting saving expectations.

Minor correction.



Inline compression for container pools was added in March in 7.1.5.





IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1.5 - Inline compression:

- Performed in-line after deduplication to provide additional storage 

savings

- Negligible impact on resources – uses latest and most efficient 

compression algorithms

- Can potentially double (or more) your storage savings after 

deduplication

Our database is on SSD in an IBM V3700, but the time needed for a del filespace 
can be significant though. But I totally agree, everyone who is using file

Re: query auditocc question

[David Ehresman]

Paul,

You are right.  All of my data is in primary storage pools so I no longer worry 
about copy pools.  Back when I had copy pools, my storage pool names would 
indicate whether it was primary or copy pool.  Can you mask on pool name to 
distinguish between primary and copy pool?

If so,

select node_name,sum(reporting_mb) as "TOTAL_OCCUPANCY" from occupancy group by 
node_name  where stgpool_name like '%NAME MASK%'c

Alternatively,

select node_name,sum(reporting_mb) as "TOTAL_OCCUPANCY" from occupancy where 
stgpool_name in (select stgpool_name from stgpools where POOLTYPE='PRIMARY' ) 
group by node_name

However they are a lot higher than what is reported by my query auditocc

Re: trouble with db backups inside scripts

[David Ehresman]

Gary,

It might be useful to turn on server side tracing before the db backup begins 
and turn it off after it finishes.  That way you would have a trace file to 
look at the next time it fails.  The following link deals with a db backup 
issue which does not seem to fit your case because yours is intermittent but it 
does document the trace flags to use.

Tsm server 6.3.4 under redhat 6.7.

About every third time our daily maintenance script runs, the db backup fails

Anr4588e  a database configuration might be incorrect.

However, as soon as I see this anywhere from a couple of minutes to an hour or

Anyone out there have a clue?

At a customer of mine query occupancy shows DELETED filespaces, hundreds of
them.

I read this:

"If you delete a file space in a deduplicated storage pool, the file space
name DELETED is displayed in the output of the QUERY OCCUPANCY command *until
all deduplication dependencies are removed.*"

www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.4/srv.reference/r_cmd_filespace_delete.html

And my question is, how can I see where this process is at?

The customer renamed 200+ VM's and all the old filespaces are being removed
from Spectrum Protect but seem stuck in this DELETED state, it seems like
all of them to be honest.

show dedupdeleteinfo show's nothing, everything is idle there.

I don't know where else too look. It seems like the data is not released
because the tape utilisation has not dropped, I did not expect much to
happen on disk (deduplication) but I did expect a big drop on tape that has
not occurred.

Has anybody here seen anything like this before?

Proctect Stgpool

If you are using container stgpools, how are you using the "protect stgpool" 
command?  Are you running it throughout the backup window or after backups have 
completed? When and how often do you run the "replicate node" command?  Are you 
using the forcereconcile option?  Why or why not?

Thanks for that info.  Unfortunately once I forced the exclusion of that

deleted all of the files in c:\windows\temp (it had thousands of leftover
TSM for VE temp files in there) and not it has kept going after the first

The only error that is getting logged is windows saying "that service has

Re: TSM4VE 7.1.3 - Backup report for a specific VM?

[David Ehresman]

On a datamover node, run:

dsmc -asnode=XXX
q vm YYY -inactive

where XXX is the "datacenter node" that is used to record the VME data
and YYY is the VM node in question.

You can add -detail to the query for more verbose output.

Re: Drive preference in TSM

[David Ehresman]

An all tape storage setup is certainly feasible if you have sufficient tape 
drives to allow your backups to complete in your backup window.  Many of us 
have used this setup in the past.

You can use mount retention on the device class definition to set how long you 
would like a tape to remain mounted after it is no longer in use.  You might be 
able to use that combined with group collocation to reduce tape mounts although 
it will not eliminate tape positioning time.

You can maintain two copies of your backups on tape in the same tape library by 
making a copy storage pool in the same library as the primary storage pool.  
These can either be written concurrently at backup time or the copy storage 
pool can be populated by the "backup stgpool" command after backups complete.

Hi Maurice,

Thanks for pointing out at basic level.

But if you read my mail, where as i have clearly written about the feature
of drive preference in TSM rather than disk pool or any other alternate.

I am not looking for alternate in my current setup. If i have plenty of
drive in my setup than why will use the disk pool. Also i have the
sufficient SAN Agent license for that.


Some where i had read, TSM is fully capable to take the backup in tape,
then why we should not use?

Draw back of using the disk/file pool is, if disk/file pool and your data
exist in same storage. Suppose if your storage fail or it is not
recoverable, than it is no use. You can'nt restore data from disk pool as
it is in same storage.

So it is wise to do not use from same storage for backup and data purpose.

And most of the customer do not have multiple storage.

Two feature i missing in TSM and i am looking for it and if it is available
its good

1. Drive preference for node.
2. Copy of node data in same TSM Server for safety purpose. Not in replica.
So that we can have two physical media for same node data.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Directory-Container Storage Pools - Export/Import

Thanks David.  I think the steps you mention follow what is in the 
directory-container storage pool FAQ:


Q6. How can I store existing data to a directory-container pool by using 
replication? Are there other techniques?
Firstly, a conversion utility is currently being considered by product 
management. Currently, the only methods that you can use to store data in a 
directory-container pool are:
* Client store operations such as backup, archive, and space management.
* Node Replication from another server.
You can use node replication to move data from one storage pool to another on 
the same machine, but you must replicate the data to another server to do this. 
For example, if you have a node, N1, on a server, S1, in a storage pool, P1, 
and you want to move it to a directory-container storage pool, P2, you must 
complete the following steps:
1.  Replicate all the data for node N1 to server S2.
2.  Rename node N1 to N1.X.
3.  Replicate the node to server S1 from server S2.
4.  Change the management class and the copy group destinations, or both, 
in the policy on server S1 to ensure that the data from server S2 is stored the 
directory-container storage pool, P2.
When all the data from node N1 is stored on server S1, you can delete the file 
spaces for node N1 on servers S1 and S2, remove node N1.X from server S1, and 
remove node N1 from server S2. To switch replication directions, you must use 
the REMOVE REPLNODE command after the first replication (from S1 to S2) on both 
servers and then re-enable replication on server S2 to server S1. You cannot 
use the node replication on a single file space within a node. The entire node 
must be replicated.





This process seems cumbersome.  Would be much easier to start backing up node 
again on new 7.1.5.0 server and age node out on 6.3.5.100 server.  I hope they 
fix the export/import in the near future.

Since you are trying to "export node from version 6.3.5.100 and import into 
version 7.1.5.0," you should be able to replicate the node instead of exporting 
it to get your data migrated.



Copy the policy domain from source to destination, and then in the destination, 
point the target to the container.

Protect product management for the future roadmap. Traditional move and copy 
features are not supported for directory-container storage pools. You cannot 
use the following commands with directory-container storage pools:

* BACKUP STGPOOL

* EXPORT/IMPORT

* GENERATE BACKUPSET

* MOVE DATA

* MOVE NODEDATA

* MIGRATE STGPOOL

in our test environment (server and client 7.1.4, OC and hub server
Windows 2012 R2, spoke server AIX) the SSL connection using TSM server
self-signed SHA certificates (cert256.arm) works just fine. We got it
running without any problems, just by following the admin guide.

The problems came when we tried to add a spoke server running server
version 6.3.4.300 with a CA issued certificate to our other OC and hub
server (running version 7.1.3 both). There we get a ton of GSKit error
messages, and the SSL connection only works from 6.3.4.300 to 7.1.3, but
not the other way.

So, do you have any CA issued SSL certificates in your environment?

I think most of you know Spectrum Protect just added in-line compression 
to the container and cloud deduplicated pools in version 7.1.5:

 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ibm.com_support_knowledgecenter_SSGSG7-5F7.1.5_srv.common_r-5Ftechchg-5Fsrv-5Fcompress-5F715.html=AwIFAg=SgMrq23dbjbGX6e0ZsSHgEZX6A4IAf1SO3AJ2bNrHlk=dOGCMY197NTNH1k_wcsrWS3_fxedKW4rpKJ8cHCD2L8=OMHhA4Nmsv9Buo24T83zOFo8w4mvoMyvC_nagZn36T0=C4shp8VD_EyXjruT5Lu2v68tMVpfpzHcluAuRJfaIK0=
 

Adding incremental forever, the new in-line deduplication - client or 
server-based (7.1.3), new in-line compression (7.1.5) I think you will 
find that Protect continues to drive overall data reduction. This is being 
done in the software, so you can choose what disk you want to use.

I encourage folks to try out the the new deduplication along with the new 
compression to see how it helps with the overall data reduction. 


Thank you,

TSM/VE and Containers

[David Ehresman]

How does TSM/VE fit into a containerized world?  I assume I can write the data 
to a container.  What about the vmctl metadata; can it be stored in a container 
or does it have to stay in a file based storagepool?

If both the data and the metadata are in a container and that data is 
replicated to a remote location, can TSM/VE be run in the remote location 
accessing the replicated data/metadata?

Re: TSM/VE and Containers

Why different containers?   Why nodupe on vmctl pool.   How do you set a the 
vmctl pool to nodedup?  I thought the container software decided whether to 
dedup or not?

Rebalance the TSM DB filespaces

[David Ehresman]

The tsmtutorials.com web page says you can rebalance space usage after adding a 
new DB filespace by issuing the following commands:


  *   Perform the rebalance activity during a quiet time. Logon as the server 
instance owner and execute the DB2 commands below. (on Windows, you need to run 
these commands from a DB2 Command Window and "set db2instance=server1).
db2 connect to tsmdb1
db2 set schema tsmdb1
db2 alter tablespace SYSCATSPACE rebalance
db2 alter tablespace USERSPACE1 rebalance
db2 alter tablespace LARGESPACE1 rebalance
db2 alter tablespace LARGEIDXSPACE1 rebalance
db2 alter tablespace IDXSPACE1 rebalance
db2 alter tablespace SYSTOOLSPACE rebalance

  *   Depending on the size of the tablespace, the rebalance can take some time 
to finish. For a large tablespace, the rebalance can take about 30 minutes. Run 
the following command to check the rebalance status
db2 "select * from SYSIBMADM.TBSP_UTILIZATION " |grep -i progress

  *   If the rebalance is still active, the above command will return the 
tablespace still in active resizing. Wait until all tablespaces have done the 
rebalance and execute the following commands to reduce the tablespaces
db2 alter tablespace SYSCATSPACE reduce max
db2 alter tablespace USERSPACE1 reduce max
db2 alter tablespace LARGESPACE1 reduce max
db2 alter tablespace LARGEIDXSPACE1 reduce max
db2 alter tablespace IDXSPACE1 reduce max
db2 alter tablespace SYSTOOLSPACE reduce max

  *   After the rebalance/reduce, the file systems should be equally utilized 
and there are should be no more file systems in 100% full condition.

Re: Migration should preempt reclamation

Subject: [ADSM-L] Migration should preempt reclamation

I was under the impression that higher priority tasks could preempt
lower priority tasks. That is, migration should be able to preempt
reclamation. But it doesn't. A very careful reading of Administrator's
Guide tells me that it does not.

We're having a problem with a large client backup that fails, due to a
disk stgpool filling. (It's a new client, and this is its initial large
backup.) It fills up because the migration process can not get a tape
drive, due to their all being used for reclamation. This also prevents
the client backup from getting a tape drive directly. Does anybody have
a way for migration to get resources (drives, volumes, etc) when a
storage pool reaches its high migration threshold, and reclamation is
using those resources? "Careful scheduling" is the usual answer, but you
can't always schedule what client nodes do. Back on TSM 5.4 I built a
Unix cron job to look for this condition and cancel reclamation
processes, but it was a real Rube Goldberg contraption, so I'm reluctant
to revive it now in the TSM 6+ era. Anybody have a better way?

BTW, I thought I'd give the 7.1.4 Information center a try to answer
this. I searched on "preemption". 10 hits none of which were the answer.
So I went to the PDF of the old Administrator's Guide and found it right
away. We need that book!

As Eric pointed out, QUIET=NO only shows detail down to the filespace level not 
the file level.

I'm not sure what data you are looking for but maybe a select statement against 
the backups table looking for STATE='INACTIVE_VERSION' and an appropriate date 
comparison against DEACTIVATE_DATE would give you what you want.

Hi all,

I’ve been working on getting fcm for vmware 4.1.3 and tdp vmware 7.1.3 working 
on redhat 6.5. FCM and basic TSM functionality seem to work, I can make 
snapshots and backups. But I’ve run into a few issues:

- the vCenter plug-in: it is available according to the vCenter client (manage 
plug-ins), but not listed on the home tab under solutions and applications, nor 
is it available in the vCenter web interface.
- the file restore UI: there is no frGUI folder in the webserver: The 
application or context root for this request has not been found: /FileRestoreUI/

any hints on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

TSM for VM CTL data

[David Ehresman]

I'm trying to determine if I can reduce the amount of TSMVE CTL data I have to 
restore at my DR site.  I did a select against the backups table to count how 
many active and inactive files I had.  It told me that all the files in that 
storage class were active and there were no inactive.  How does TSMVE manage 
that CTL meta data?

Has anyone tried using a VTL copy of the CTL data in a restore scenario instead 
of doing a restore stg of the ctl disk pool before starting the VME restore?

dsm.sys

[David Ehresman]

On AIX, can I put dsm.sys in a directory other than the ba install directory?  
If so, how do I point to it?

Migrating VME from vCenter5 to vCenter6

[David Ehresman]

I have TSM for VE running in a vCenter5 environment.  It was setup using one of 
the early version GUIs to setup the VME environment. As such, I have a vCenter 
node (which doesn't actually appear to do anything), a data center node (which 
owns all the actual backups), a VMCLI node, and several data mover nodes.  The 
dsm.opt files on the data movers contain VMChost lines that point to the actual 
VMware vcenter host.  The TSM backup schedules were generated by the GUI but 
have been manually edited since then.  They have VMHOST options that specify to 
backup all the VMs on a particular VMware host.

Our VMware team will be moving to vCenter6 soon.  The vCenter will have a new 
name but the data center and cluster names will be the same on vCenter6 as they 
are on vCenter5.  All of the VMware hosts will be moved from VC5 to VC6 during 
one maintenance period.  So what changes will I have to make to my TSMVE 
environment to continue to backup the VMs?

I'm sure I will have to update the VMChost options in each of the data mover's 
dsm.opt file. I can define a new vcenter node and define the proxies to match 
my current vcenter node (but again I don't understand what purpose this 
serves.) The schedules point to the data center node and the Vmhosts and those 
will not change.  Is there anything else that needs changing?

And of course, the BIG question.  Will these changes force a new FULL or will 
the incrementals just continue.

For what it's worth, my VME version is 7.1.3 and my TSM server is version 
7.1.1.300 running on AIX 7.1.

Re: TDP4VE: How to delete old backups of excluded volumes

[David Ehresman]

On VMware backups, delete filespace will delete all of the backups for the VM, 
not just the newly excluded volumes.

Excluding the Hard Disks will make current backups for those disks inactive and 
they will age out based on your retention policy.  I do not think you can 
delete them otherwise without deleting all the backups for the VM and starting 
over.

Hi David, thanks for your reply.

But the admin picks the name. Couldn't I create one account for the HQ OC

that connects only to the local branch office instance?

I don't know why that would not work.

Re: going to all random disk pool for tsm for ve

TSMVE 7.1.2 makes file level restores a reality.  You may want to work with

Hoping to get upgraded to tsm server 7.1.x within the next month.
At that time, we are considering changing our storage strategy to all random

This because we cannot do a file level restore from a vmware backup from 
sequencial media, (be it tape or disk).

Has anyone done this, or is there a better way?

Re: Virtualmountpoint not working

[David Ehresman]

Andy is correct that in a select from the backups tables the '/dev' will be the 
filespace_name and not the hl_name.  But the '/dev' should show in the q 
filespace.  

Did you restart dsmcad and/or dsmc sched after updateing the dsm.sys file?  Is 
the dsm.sys in the default location or is it possible the backup is using a 
different dsm.sys?  What level of TSM clinet and what level of Linux?

Besides the items you have highlighted so far (dsmc q opt, select * from

there not TSM related logs (dsmsched.log) you could look at? Also, what does 
the admin command q filespace kl1241m3 show you? I would think with virtual

Subject: [ADSM-L] Tape Encryption

We are currently encrypting our data as it is being written to tape.  The 
auditors want to know how the encryption keys are managed.  All I can find is 
that the keys are managed by the Tivoli Storage Manager.

Does anyone have any documentation that explains how the keys are managed and 
what keeps someone from decrypting a tape that is lost or stolen?

TSM VE 7.1.2 Mount Proxy Pairs

[David Ehresman]

The 7.1.2 doc indicates I need Proxy Pairs for VE mount and instant restore.  
But I can't find the doc that tells me how to set them up.  I appear to need a 
Windows and a Linux server.  Do they have to be dedicated?  Can I/should I use 
a data mover as one of the proxies?  Do I need to install anything on the proxy 
servers?  Has anyone set these up and willing to offer some advice?

Re: server out of storage space when really not missing vmware backups

[David Ehresman]

Maxscratch defines how many scratch volumes you can have in a storagepool.  
When you reach maxscratch, assuming you do not have volumes predefined, you are 
by definition out of data storage space regardless of how much space is in your 
filesystem.

Tsm server 6.2.5
TDP for vmware 6.4

I have the vmware data pool defined as a sequencial file pool, to facilitate 
migration.

However, last night the server claimed it was out of data storage space, but 
there is 18% of a 14 tb pool free.

I checked, and the only limit reached was maxscratch.

Is there a good way around this?

We want to migrate to server 7.x, but could not get an install failure resolved 
on RHEL 6.5 for server version 7.1.1.

I have increased maxscratch, but this cannot go on indefinitely.

 Dear all,
 
 we are currently struggling a bit with TSM4VE config and making it more

 For disks, we can exclude individual disks by just adding a line to the
 optfile looking like
 
 exclude.vmdisk vm1 Hard Disk 2
 exclude.vmdisk vm2 Hard Disk 2
 
 works fine, one disk per line and readable.
 
 If i want to exclude vms, I have to put them all in one line looking like
 
 DOMAIN.VMFULL
 vmhost=host1;-VM=vm7*,vm1,vm2,vm6,vm101,vm30,vm29,vm465,vm9,vm879,vm102,vm101;VM=7;VM=vm7657
 
 which is not easily readable and hard to maintain as it grows and changes.
 I know about the GUI, but then you always have to logon to the system for
 each change, plus the exclude for disks is not avaliable.
 The client will not accept more than one domain.vmfull statement or a cr,
 all has to be in one line.
 The options also don´t seem to be available in the client option set as
 options, which would also be a neat solution.
 Has anyone made a more readable syntax work, or would this be a case for a
 RFE?

Re: TSM/CMS

[David Ehresman]

Rob,

At our shop TSM/VE, TSM for DB, and TSM for Email nodes outnumber our 
traditional B/A nodes.  The CMS function is only marginally useful if it only 
works for B/A nodes because I have to go to several hundred machines and 
install the code and customize OpCenter.  If it worked with data movers, I 
could install the code on a dozen machines and review the logs of hundreds of 
VMs.  Very much more bang for the buck.

 We had a customer who installed his application on d: (with windows on
c:).
 No files missed or excluded from the backup.  His d: drive crashed and he
 restored it. Again no files missed or excluded. Everyone expected
success.
 Sadly his application could not start.

 Why?

 Part of his .exe files ended up as part of the system state backup (in
this
 case .exe files where related to defined services). And we found loads of
 others doing the same.

 So simply excluding system state from backup might be not so smart as
 windows seem to be putting more and more stuff into system state even if
 its not related directly to windows and os drive.

Each backup session backs up some control information, and that information is 
restored for use during the next backup.  (You can see the restores happening 
if you watch the server during the backup, or if you look in the accounting 
info.)

I'm just guessing, but I suspect  that the data unavailable on server is 
because it can't restore that control info.
Perhaps some volumes in your disk pool are offline, or the control information 
has migrated off to tape?

If the latter, you need to put these keywords in the dsm.opt on your datamover:

VMMCyour-mgmt-class-for-data-goes-here
VMCTLMC your-mgmt-class-for-control-info-goes-here

The control info mgmt. class should point to a small disk pool that can't

The database backup was so small that using tapes from the library for it was
overkill.  Just do a backup to disk and sync the data remote, or put it on a
small 4mm tape, or put it on a USB stick.  It was even so small that you could
sync it over the internet!


But then came DB2  and dedup  and all other 'nice' features...

The small server that you had needed suddenly 64 GB of memory.  And SSD's.
And at least 4 new CPU's.

And as administrator, you also need a deep dive in DB2.  One ANRD after an
other pops up.  Fix?  Sometimes an upgrade.  But most of the time you need a
DB2 guru to follow the instructions on the IBM website.  Wasn't there a
promise that DB2 will run onder the hood and that as a TSM administrator you
don't needed a DB2 prompt?

Do you know what happens yesterday?  After getting tired of ANRD messages
regarding dedup killing our offsite backup, we did a fresh install of the
latest TSM server on a linux box and restart all over.
But strange, our monitoring setup was always showing that there was no TSM
process running?  After some digging, we found this:
select * from processes: ANR2034E SELECT: No match found using this criteria.

But: q proc is working fine and shows all running processes.

WTF?!?!?  This is a fresh new install!

IBM, what are you doing with this great product?

TSM is way behind compared to other backup products: dedup, cloud backup,
monitoring, reporting, data sync, ...
Yes, you can do this with TSM, but will it work?  Will it blow up your
database?  Will you be able to do a restore?


We have about 40 TSM installations we maintain for customers.  Not all of them
have issues, but I can not promise that in the next few years they are not
switched over to an other backup solution.


Sorry for the rant, but TSM is loosing a fan :(

Re: req: tsm db backup completed with failure and taking all scratch tapes fro DB BC

[David Ehresman]

This sounds very much like a problem with either the tapes or the tape library. 
 Backup is trying to mount a tape and timing out after 10 minutes.

You've got to free up one or more scratch tape(s) somehow. Either that
or decide to write your TSM DB backups somewhere else, such as SAN.
There is no way around this.

How many Full DB backups are you keeping? Is that more than you need? If
so, see the DELETE VOLHISTORY command to get rid of old backups and
release scratch tapes. A typical thing is to run a scheduled DELETE
VOLHIST TODAY-8 or something like that after a successful rc=0 full
database backup. Always make sure you're keeping your most recent FULL
database backup and all the incremental backups after it.

Do your own inventory of tapes in your tape library, and make sure you
can identify what each of them is used for. They will either be VOLUMEs
or they'll be listed in the Volume History File for DB backups etc. You
may find some free tapes where you did not expect them. Or you

will show all of the tapes in the library.  If your tape pools use tapes from 
scratch then look for a tape that is private with no last use.  These are 
sometimes orphaned tapes.  You can verify if they are orphaned by q vol and 
searching q drm for the tape.
When I find an orphan I re-label the tape, but be careful, an error can delete

We are backing up our vmware environment (approximately 110 vms), using tsm for

The backup destination is disk.  Trouble is all data is owned by the datacenter

I do not currently have enough tape drives to run directly to tape.
Is there a solution I have missed?

Subject: [ADSM-L] breaking up tsm for ve backups into different nodes

We are backing up our vmware environment (approximately 110 vms), using tsm for 
ve 6.4.2 tsmserver 6.2.5 under redhat 6.1.

The backup destination is disk.  Trouble is all data is owned by the datacenter 
node; consequently, migration has only one stream.

I do not currently have enough tape drives to run directly to tape.
Is there a solution I have missed?

Subject: [ADSM-L] SQL for highest volume label in library

Hi TSM-ers!
Does anybody know a SQL statement to retrieve the highest volume label of all 
tapes in a library? Is it possible with one single SQL query?
Thanks for any help in advance!
Kind regards,

TSM 7.1.1 on AIX

[David Ehresman]

Anyone upgraded to TSM 7.1.1 on AIX?  I'm getting the following out of the 
installer:

Loading fixes...
Validating package prerequisites...
.
Finding compatible package groups...


= IBM Installation Manager Install Location

Incompatible existing package groups:
 1. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager

ERROR: Package IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server is already installed in this 
package group.

Selected group id: IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
Selected location: /opt/tivoli/tsm
Selected architecture: 64-bit

 B. Back,  C. Cancel
- [C] b

While I continue to wait to hear from Tivoli Level II, any ideas on how to get 
the installer to install?

Do I have to uninstall tsm 7.1.0 before I can install 7.1.1?
