Anything past the initial client sessions, TSM is ignorant of the storage. It does not care where the data comes from, other process using the same location or files. For single processes it doesn't matter but all bets are off for multi threads or proceses. So it is best to plan for worst case scenario eg all threads/proc/sessions hitting the same location. So it's better to have a single location/directory/lun that is twice as fast, rather two locations. Grant On 30/08/13 15:47, Dierk Harbort wrote: Hello all!

Antwort: [ADSM-L] Cross Site Vaulting Virus checked
Hello Mark, this is how we do: We also have 2 locations, with both having one TSMserverinstance running on a dedicated machine; each TSMserverinstance is responsible for her site, this includes the clients there and also the TL3584. So each TSMserverinstance is the TLmanager, defined in either TSMserverinstances. Important: Both TSMservers (the machines) are designed for running both TSMserverinstances, in case of location failure or what ever. There is a LAN-like fiber between those locations. Each TSMserverinstance does DRM/vaulting in two ways: First is a onsite-copy (copy stgp) in its remote location. So either TSMserverinstance may run in both locations, without having tapes to checkin/out or to transfer. Second each TSMserverinstance does a move drm scenario day by day, localy - this is easier to operate with. Those tapes are kept in a save elsewhere, due to the thougts of the locations manager. We chose this way after some other solutions, and it works well for more then 2 years now. Hope to give you some ideas.

We are in the process of setting up cross site vaulting and not 100% sure on how to incorporate both nodes and libraries to share the libraries. I assume the most efficient way would be to have a library manager instance that controls both libraries from our remote site? If we were to loose the library manager we would then configure the libraries to each LPAR to manage their own libraries? Also consider library partitioning. Our implementation has a restricted budget where as we are attempting to set this up with existing infrastructure besides a couple of new 595 LPARS. An overview of what we have is x2 3584's one with an expansion and the other as standalone. A CWDM link with a 8gb trunked link over 15klm's and two 595 LPARS 1 cpu and 8gb mem. Two HBA's for disk and four HBA's for tape drives. Prod data will go across the wire to our non prod site which will have our prod backup server and vice versa. We are limited to 4 drive slots in the smaller frame library and have 4 LTO3 drives and 9 LTO2 drives in total to manage the data. We are planning on using two LTO3 and two LTO2 drives in the smaller library which will hold prod primary storage pool data and the rest in the non prod library. As the restriction of the size of the prod library we are only planning on copying prod data across sites and copying non prod data within the non prod library. Currently hold approximately 200TB's backed up data across two servers. The current two instances are 5.5.1 and all associated clients. Can someone point me to a doco or have a similar experience?

Antwort: Re: [ADSM-L] Multiple Schedules (OracleDB Backup) Virus checked
Hi, thats the way we go (with db2): define a second stanza in dsm.opt (.sys on ux), for filesystem ba you may use the nodename and for api nodename_db2. Why?: The last one needs its own mc as well, for keeping 1 version only and all other parameters 0. The ba node will use something like 5 versions, and several days for lastversionexist etc - thats different to what the db needs: The db is taking care about versions to keep, not tsm. Now you can start every DB with its own dsm.opt (ux), that means to use a special stanza with every single db.

We tried different ways about 1 year before, selfmade things as well as IBM operational reporting; regards, Dierk Nicholas Rodolfich [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet von: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU 29.01.2008 21:34 Bitte antworten an ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU An ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Kopie Thema [ADSM-L] What to use for TSM monitoring/alerting Virus checked Hello All, Thanks for your help!! We are running TSM 5.3.4 with a IBM 3584 library. Our library has not exactly been the Pinnacle of MTBF. All the drives have been replaced, some more than once and the medium changer has been replaced twice. All of this since April 2007. The medium changer died this past Friday night and no one caught it until the next day. Our DBA has made a big stink about monitoring TSM and alerting when something is wrong. The DBA and another admin think they can write some code to do this alerting on the 8493E message in the activity log. My question is: What tools are you folks using to monitor TSM and alert you to any problems.

Hello Charles, your db2 admins are right; but there is a work-around: We run Linux as OS, and we TSMers create the dsm.sys only, this means we leave all doings on dsm.opt for db2 to the db2admins. And the db2admins createed an individual dsm.opt (e.g. dsm_db2name.opt) for several situations; so we can use different machines to run the db2 but with the same tsm instance, and other way round.

tsm disk volumes for db and log Virus checked
Hello all! I am working on a new design of our tsm environment - a lot of changes in sight this year. So here a litte question to check my ideas for the new design: IBM support told me, that it would be the best to have not more than about 6-8 diskvolumes for the tsm database, due to the recovery mode on tsm server start. Do you agree? Are there any recommendations like this for the tsm logvolumes? I am thinking about 8x 6145MB dbvolumes and 8x 4097MB logvolumes. Or any other things to consider? TIA, Dierk

Antwort: Re: [ADSM-L] path gone
Richard - thanks for answering; I checked your ideas, this is the result: There was a reboot of the tl 2 hours before this happened, but all drives worked fine (succesful archives) after that reboot. So I don't think the error depends on that. As the error occured, I did some q in tsm and I found path onl=no, and I made an update path onl=yes. Since that everything works fine. The actlog showed the following messages during that error, for all our 4 drives: ANR8848W Drive TAPEx of library LIB3583 is inaccessible; server has begun polling drive. ANR8300E I/O error on library LIB3583 (OP=C0246C02, CC=200, KEY=FF, ASC=FF, ASCQ=FF, SENSE=**NONE**, Description=The device indicated a failure condition, but sense data was unavailable).

Antwort: [ADSM-L] The max recovery log utilization is too high
Hi, Marcelo! i think you have to extend your log space, preventing an overflow-desaster; what you have to do is: 1. if you have no ressources for an extend you have to create them before, with dsmfmt -m -log /path/filename 2. define logvolume /path/filename 3. extend log 512 (i.e for 512MB) This is well explained in the tsm admins guide.

Antwort: Re: [ADSM-L] q filespace / q occ
Hi Maurice, thanks for your statement; the point is, that tsm tells me about db2 filespace always 100% util - backing up with the API always works like this. So I think, this must be the amount of data backed up by db2/tsm API. I thought, it should tell me the real amount of data - but it seems I was wrong ?! Basicly the MBs shown in a TSM q filesp are ok in my system, I can see this due to comparing the hdd space and the util % from other nodes/pathes. So now I'm thinking about Allens statement: DB2 is showing/calculating its 100% util in a buggy way ?? And for db2 via API only q occ shows the right amount of util ? And IBM told me, the api for db2 with fixpack 9 is not realy ok, so there could be trouble without the newest fixpack 10 - but we won't install that at this time, it is 1 week old and we are no beta testers. So the result for me now is: q filesp for all, but not for db2 via API - therefor I have to use q occ? Regards, Dierk Allens statement: Trust the Q occ. For most conventional filesystems, the q filespace information is pretty good, but if you're doing anything odd, the numbers will be way off. I don't know how DB2 calculates its' filespace size, but I've got a DB2 database which actually backs up at about 120GB, whose filespace size is reported at 35TB. That's close to the total size of 'backup' type files I've got in TSM for that DB, but not particularly close. As another example, I've got a filesystem with 8M files on it, with a directory structure similar to /big/big00 /big01 /big02 /big03 /big04 /big05 /big06 /big07 /big08 /big09 Each of those directories is a virtualmountpoint, and each of the filespaces associated with the virutalmountpoint reports the size and pct_utilized of the enclosing physical filesystem. The occupancy numbers, on the other hand, are accurate. |+--- || ADSM: Dist | || Stor Manager| || [EMAIL PROTECTED]| || RIST.EDU| || | || 12.09.2005 | || 17:20| || Bitte| || antworten an | || ADSM: Dist | || Stor Manager| || | |+--- -| | | | An: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU | | Kopie: | | Thema: Re: [ADSM-L] q filespace / q occ | -| Hi Dierk, You are comparing two very different queries. q filespaces gives you the filespace info of the node, so you can see i.e. c:\ with 4GB capacity and 40% util. This means that the c-drive of that node is 4GB in size and 40% full. This gives you absolutly no info about the backup q occ gives you the amount of files and MB's of data that is backuped.

hi, Jop and Richard ! the solution is easy: the linux box has to be as wide as the chracters of a complete line need... many thanks, best regards Dierk ADSM: Dist Stor ManagerAn: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU [EMAIL PROTECTED]Kopie: RIST.EDUThema: Re: [ADSM-L] Antwort: Re: [ADSM-L] select 20.06.2005 13:24 Bitte antworten an ADSM: Dist Stor Manager Hi Dierk, Nope, just narrow and wide. If you want to sort stuff or if you want a wider view try it with the -outfile and import this in a spreadsheet.

Antwort: [ADSM-L] Server Locked Up
i remember a similar situation: the path definitions to the drives where off line. have you checked them ? regards, Dierk It seems our server has locked up. We are copying our storage pools to our copypool and nothing seems to be moving, no counts are increasing. Our server level is 5.1.1. We have 10 tape drives, all online. 8 are in use and 2 are reserved. Has anyone had this problem before? The dsmserv.err log doesn't tell me anything, is there somewhere else I can look? Thanks for any help,

No, i am on the tsm server, and so i am in a linux box and on the same machine. regards, Dierk ADSM: Dist Stor ManagerAn: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU [EMAIL PROTECTED]Kopie: RIST.EDUThema: [ADSM-L] 16.06.2005 16:56 Bitte antworten an ADSM: Dist Stor Manager You are aware of the fact that the redirect will go to the local machine you're sitting on? So if you're on a Windows box, redirecting to a path with '/' in it will fail? If so, do you have write authority to the specified path? Have you tried redirecting to another location?

Good morning ! My tsm client on a w2k prof workstation does not work. The message is: Incremental backup of volume '\\pc01130\c$' Incremental backup of volume '\\bwi_1\user1\usr\bwihab' Incremental backup of volume '\\bwi_1\user1\edvdoc' ANS1999E Incremental processing of '\\pc01130\c$' stopped ANS1449E A required NT privilege is not held But: Any Systemobject is excluded. Only a few logfiles from drive C: should be saved, those files are owned by a user not by an administrator. The drives W: and H: are backed up propperly, but only if domain C: is excluded. So i think there is a problem with permissions on drive C: ?! Who has an idea to solve this problem? Thank you very much!
