Re: Enhancement request
Hi, I am using OC for a few things. The dashboard is very useful in a at glance you can see how the state of TSM environment, the alert pane is very good and the detail info for Clients and Servers is nice as well. But we should encourage IBM to add more features to OC In my opinion OC needs: 1.- OC should have a job control monitor to stop/start/pause/cancel. 2.- OC should add the possibility to backup/restore files ( even databases/mails/FCM/etc) in a nice way. Only one Console, Please don't add more consoles. 3.- OC should add install/upgrade/remove clients and DP. 4.- OC should add modify/delete Admin Tasks.5.- OC should add the possibility to run scripts.6.- OC should add create/remove/modify domains, policy set, mgmts, copygs. 7.- OC should add any type of stgpools and device class. 8.- OC should add a nice way to checking/checkout tapes. 9.- OC should have a central reporting. ... Maybe I forget sth. In summary, we will need a tool to remove the CLI.

It does not cover the checkout operation, since all the volumes available at the test had been checked out and sent to an offsite vault at some point in the past. In outline the process was as follows: Update 3494 tape drive paths to online=no. Execute define library for the 3484. Execute the related define drive and define path commands (including defining a path to the library). Update tape device classes to use the new library. Check volumes into the new library. Execute an audit library command with checklabel=barcode for the new library. The device for the new server to library path will probably follow a distinctly different naming convention than its 3494 counterpart. Most commands that refer to a library name need somewhat different operands for a SCSI library (such as a 3484) than for a 3494.

This is what I'm really confused about, and our AIX admins don't have an answer. Our Power systems with AIX supports 4k, 64k and 16mb pages. The IBM presentation makes the case about minimizing lock contation b using 16mb non-pagable pages. But it also notes that using 64k pages can greatly minimize the contention. When I check svmon, most of our BSS heap segments are already using both small(4k) and medium(64k) pages (the sm in the listing below). svmon -P 10944554 | grep -i bss heap d811d8 12 work text data BSS heap sm 57518 0 0 57518 ab892b 13 work text data BSS heap sm 48006 0 0 48006 f8317a 14 work text data BSS heap sm 37204 0 0 37204 bc0f3c 11 work text data BSS heap sm 34200 0 0 34200 f50e75 10 clnt text data BSS heap, s 28667 0 - - 991d9b 15 work text data BSS heap sm 26213 0 0 26213 9e279c 16 work text data BSS heap sm 9023 0 0 9023 92d013 17 work text data BSS heap sm 3652 0 0 3652 I don't see any way to tell if the I/O is locking 4k pages, 64k pages, or a mix. The presentation gave 2 different LDR_CNTRL variables depending upon if you want 16mb pages or 64k pages. 16mb pages: LDR_CNTRL=TEXTPSIZE=64K@STACKPSIZE=64K@SHMPSIZE=64K@LARGE_PAGE_DATA=Y dsmserv 64k pages: LDR_CNTRL=TEXTPSIZE=64K@STACKPSIZE=64K@SHMPSIZE=64K@DATAPSIZE=64K dsmserv My assumption is that the 64k LDR_CNTRL will make all the BSS heaps use only 64k pages.

If so, you could do some load balancing between DAG Servers: Most of this in the Exchange book under Managing Exchange Database Availability Group members by using a single policy: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r4/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itsm.mail.exc.doc%2Ft_dpfcm_bup_reduce_redundant_exc.html The key to load balance when setting up the scheduled backup script is to have a separate invocation of each database. For example: TDPEXCC BACKUP DB1 FULL /MINIMUMBACKUPINTERVAL=720 /PREFERDAGPASSIVE TDPEXCC BACKUP DB2 FULL /MINIMUMBACKUPINTERVAL=720 /PREFERDAGPASSIVE TDPEXCC BACKUP DB3 FULL /MINIMUMBACKUPINTERVAL=720 /PREFERDAGPASSIVE TDPEXCC BACKUP DB4 FULL /MINIMUMBACKUPINTERVAL=720 /PREFERDAGPASSIVE TDPEXCC BACKUP DB5 FULL /MINIMUMBACKUPINTERVAL=720 /PREFERDAGPASSIVE Then, run this command from each of the Exchange servers at or about the same time. -- Here are a few more things to look at: To help with some performance issues, some customers have split their backups into multiple threads or processes in two ways: 1. Increase the value of the RESOURCEUTILIZATION parameter in the DSM.OPT file for the DSMAGENT. Trying setting this to 10. Important: This needs to the DSM.OPT file for the DSMAGENT not the DP/Exchange options file. 2. Split the backups into multiple parallel instances of the TDPEXCC backup execution. i.e. the create separate invocations of DP/Exchange that back up a different set of databases. For example: TDPEXCC BACKUP db1,db2,db3,db4 FULL TDPEXCC BACKUP db5,db6,db7,db8 FULL TDPEXCC BACKUP db9,db10,db11,db12 FULL Put these in separate command files and stagger the launching of them by 10 minutes or so. The key here is that you need to make sure that you don't have any LUNs that appears in more than one invocation. In other words, you don't want to snapshot the same LUN in separate invocations. Note: The integrity check is a Microsoft tool. IBM has no control over the speed of that tool. DP/Exchange invokes the Microsoft ESEUTIL program to perform the integrity check. It's a very I/O intensive program that must examine every page of the database file (.EDB) and all log files. -- If none of these help, you should open a PMR to get the performance team to look at your environment.

Re: cdp for files/fb workstation and win7 uac
More or less yes the main issue is pst files, if you uses tsm you will have some limitations running backups of psts they will be always full and the schedule for these backups will be at the same time. On the other hand, the client dedup is only useful for new hardware with at least 4gb ram. Maybe it can be more jnteresting using fileserver instead of tsm. Cdp for files is for servers and fb for ws is for windows 7 . Finally you can limit the use of the network and it is easy to use. Enviado desde Yahoo! Mail con Android

Hi Wanda, In a similar scenario ( 700 VMs ) but TSM Server Linux 32 cores/64 GB RAM, I have the dedup threshold setup to 10.

The file size of stg volumes is 100 GB and I now it moves a lot of info to inrease the dedup ratio, ( I am not sure which is an optimal value ) . Currently the deduplication in server is around of 70 % and it is increasing a good slow, but at least the stg pool is reducing the space occupied, at the beginning it was aroun 48 %. I also have client dedup as well and the most of VMs are showing a 96-99,99% de total reduction.

Re: Battles with TSM for VE
Hi, In version TSM Server 6.3 there was improvements in relation to Virtual Libraries, I am not sure if this solves the problem. Anyway if you open a RFE I will add my vote and I hope new releases TSM Server will have the possibility to choose the pool to restore the data. I have seen this behavior when we use VTL and Physical Tape Libraries, the restores has been done from PTL instead of VTL due to the number of the tape volumes. Regards, De: Hart, Charles A charles_h...@uhc.com Para: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Enviado: Martes 8 de enero de 2013 21:01 Asunto: Re: Battles with TSM for VE Interesting ... we have experienced a very similar issue where our DB (Oracle etc) restores were coming off the Copy pool. We opened a PMR and found out this was due to the way TSM was designed to take the least path of resistance for restores meaning if there are less copy pools volumes required for a restore than primary volumes TSM will choose the pool with less volumes. This is s a real pain with Virtual tape as we make those smaller by design unlike physical tapes at 1+TB. IBM did do a fix with a option to put in the server option file but it didn't work for us. So if we have a critical restore and we see this happen we'll mark the offsite tapes as unavailable. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Neil Schofield Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 1:24 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Battles with TSM for VE We've been using TSM for VE in production for about 6 months now and although it generally works well, there have been a number of minor issues which remain unresolved. However one problem stands out above the others and despite extensive discussions with IBM support, we've been unable to achieve a resolution. I just wanted to run it past the ADSM-L community to gain their perspective. There are about 500 VMs (predominantly Windows Server) on ESX 4.1 that we back up on a nightly basis, with each VM getting one full backup a week and incrementals (using change block tracking) on the other nights. Consider the following scenario: - A backup proxy server accessing the ESX disk LUNs over a SAN running TSM for VE and with LAN-free (Storage Agent) access to tape library A - A dedicated primary disk storage pool (VMCTLDISK) on the TSM server for storing the CTL data - A dedicated primary tape storage pool (VMDATATAPE) using a device class in library A for the VM backup data - A dedicated copy tape storage pool (VMCTLTAPE) using a device class in library A to provide a backup for the CTL data on disk - VMDATATAPE is collocated by filespace so each VM's backup data is on the smallest number of tapes - VMCTLTAPE contains only one or two tape volumes to hold the copy of all the CTL data for all VMs (no collocation) - A daily admin schedule backs up CTL data in the primary storage pool to the copy storage pool after the backup window for the TSM for VE clients Now a full backup of a VM works fine. The backup proxy server sends CTL data over the LAN to disk on the TSM server and VM backup data over the SAN to library A. Incremental VM backups work less well. Under the covers, incremental backups involve a significant amount of restore processing by the client as it restores previously backed up CTL data. In the scenario above, we naively expected the process for restoring the CTL data to be the reverse of the backup process - ie the CTL data would be accessed over the LAN from the primary disk storage pool on the TSM servers. However it quickly became evident that the TSM for VE client was favouring the far slower tape volume in the copy storage pool when it came to restoring CTL data for every incremental backup (presumably on the basis that the tape volume could be mounted LAN-free while the disk volume couldn't). For the relatively small amount of data involved when restoring the CTL files (compared to the size of the backup data), the overhead of mounting the tape was significant. Even worse though, those one or two copy storage pool volumes became a massive source of contention when running multiple concurrent incremental VM backups. I can't find an easy way of inhibiting LAN-free access to the copy storage pool volumes by the backup proxy server without affecting it's ability to store (and restore) the VM backup data using LAN-free. When we discovered this behaviour the only relief I could find was to put in place a spectacularly ugly work-around which involved running for 99% of the day with the volumes in the copy storage pool holding the CTL data updated to have an access mode of unavailable. This forces the TSM for VE client to restore the CTL files from the primary disk storage pool during incremental VM backups. The script which performs the storage pool backup first updates the copy storage pool volumes to read/write and then changes them back to unavailable upon completion. This

Re: V6.4 experiences

Re: Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments
1.- In version 6.3, when you have finished the configuration. DP for VE include the Vcenter plug-in. When you open the Vcenter Client, then plugins and you select TDP for VE plugin, this will be connect to DP for VE machine to show the configuration, wizards, etc. DP for VE has an ewas and a derby db. Then you don't need to install anything in the Vcenter machine. you only need a backup proxy. 2.- DP for VE uses a Vmware CBT ( Change Block Tracking) , then if you have one machine with 100 GB but only 10 uses , DP for VE backups only 10. 3.- You can use Client dedup instead of server dedup. At this moment I have in my installation Client dedup and it works ok. 4.- In big installations, you can have more than one backup proxy. Then, the limitation is the week full backup. If you have a GB network it is possible split the backups fulls and incrementals during all week. But if you use a physical backup proxy you can run lanfree, this advantage can save quickly a lot of VMs, but you won't have client dedup nor TSM server dedup. 5.- DP for VMware restores files only if you have installed the mount ( this is like fastback) in the servers. By default, you can restore in the backup proxy machine and send the files to the others clients. If you want t restore files or restore volumes you must have installed the mount in the vm tsm client.

What are the specs/requirements for the vStorage/Backup Server that we will have to build? - This is in there under chapter 2. Basically a physical win2008/2003 server. or a linux server, although I believe linux support (for a backup proxy) is brand new in 6.3. I wouldn't mess with it. Other than that, you will need: - at least one HBA for the incoming SAN data if you will be using the SAN for incoming data - at least one HBA for the outgoing SAN data (if you will be using lan-free) - Network connection to the vcenter servers for control. - We are not using lan-free on the outgoing side so we have an additional ethernet connection here. You may be able to replace the incoming with ethernet as well, but not sure. 2. What network requirements are there? Our TSM backup servers are on a completely different subnet then the VMWare servers. Network rules will have to be modified. - SAN - backup proxy needs to be zoned to all the same luns as the ESX servers and your Lan-free tape drives/VTL if applicable - LAN - If you are doing all the data transfer over the san, you will still need network connections for control and the vCenter plugin 3. What, if anything, needs to be installed on the Host or Guest systems? - Nothing on the Guest. The Host (im assuming you mean the backup proxy), TSM client, TSM for VE (which includes the recovery agent and vcenter plugin) 4. What do I need to do TSM server-wise? - Nothing special. TSM6+ is needed for the Vcenter plugin to work properly and the subcommand scheduling. You will have to register the assign proxynode access as described in the manual 5. Do I

Hi, I am not sure if I understand the question. First backup - Full Backup and only few duplicate chunks are identified by dedup process. Second Backup - Full as well.

This would be a benefit to them in several respects, not the least in having the ability to replicate to another TSM server using the features in 6.3. The customer has a requirement to keep their NDMP dumps 6 months. (I know that's not desirable, but the backup group has no choice in the matter right now, it's imposed by a higher level of management.) The NDMP dumps come via TCP/IP into a regular TSM sequential filepool. They should dedup like crazy, but client-side dedup is not an option (as there is no client). So here's the question. NDMP backups come into the filepool and identify duplicates is running. But because of those long retention times, all the volumes in the filepool are FULL, but 0% reclaimable, and they will continue to be that way for 6 months, as no dumps will expire until then. Since the dedup occurs as part of reclaim, and the volumes won't reclaim -how do we prime the pump and get this data to dedup? Should we do a few MOVE DATAs to get the volumes partially empty?

Re: TSM Archiving 50tb data with millions of files
Uhm.. this is interesting.. What is my opinion? I think TSM DB won't be a problem.. I think your main problem will be to do an incremental backup or in case of backup image is the individual file restore. With your information .. I will think in a GPFS Cluster.. and copy the files through several cluster nodes in parallel. You can even use TSM for Space Management.. More, FlashCopy will provide you a copy of data. You will need more space but it will be quickly and you will get the data online in short time. The problem is if you want to restore one file you need to mount the flashcopy in other machine and restoring the file. But the main advantage in case of machine fails and you need to restore the whole scenario you can restore the files more or less quickly. More..

Re: Downgrading TSM 6.1/6.2 Windows clients to 5.5
Hi Stefan, I have been working with TSM 14 years and never I had to do that.. My recommendation is to upgrade to the last patch version of TSM client. In case you have TSM agents like TSM for DB etc... I would check that level API is recommended for each agent before running the upgrade. - Mensaje original De: Stefan Folkerts stefan.folke...@itaa.nl Para: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Enviado: jue,2 septiembre, 2010 10:24 Asunto: Downgrading TSM 6.1/6.2 Windows clients to 5.5 What are the consequences of downgrading a TSM client from 6.1/6.2 to 5.5 on Windows?

Re: LAN-free backup in a logical partition
Hi, this link can be useful. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0uid=swg21239546 In many cases people are using VIO server, if this is your case you will need to add hbas dedicates only for LPAR lanfree Backup. With NPIV the HBA presents multiple unique WWNs to the OS, this is a solution to share the Hba among Lpars. Then LPars can be TSM Servers or LanFree Clients. In my opinion, if you need high performance backup you will need to add a number of hbas depending on the performance you needed. It is possible to share disc a tape traffic in the same hba. The problem is you don't get the ,more optimal performance, for not production environment it is cheaper.

Re: Collocation Groups Reclamation and Restore
Hello Colleagues, I have found all answer to my questions. And from my point of view are very interesting and I would like to share with all TSMpeople. 1.- When one volume is reclaimed in this pool ( Pool with CG). How TSM does the reclamation? moving files from one node from Volume to Scratch one or TSM moves all nodes in the CG at the same time without distinction ? it moves it from all nodes 2.- When TSM restores files from these tapes. Does it restore all files in a sequential way ?. I mean TSM is reading the tape from the beginning and if it finds files to belong to this TSM Client from different directories it restores independently of the directory which this files belong or TSM server prepares a list of file and it is looking one per one in the tape... or Which is the procedure ? - it restores sequentially - so that it minimizes the tape movement. 3.- In case of migration, if we don't have CG TSM migrates files per node. What happens if we have CG, it is per node or per CG ? per CG 4.- In case we have a lanfree backup with 4 parallel sessions , is CG suitable for this TSM Clients ? sure, the better question is do they have enough data being written to keep the tapes streaming, versus the advantages of writing to disk. 5.- Last question, in order to restore the client node. Are there differences between these procedure and multiplexing competitors ones ? ... --- yes. for multiplexing, they have to rebuild each individual file. THis causes lots of tape positioning, and additional process to rebuild the files. Multiplexing has a very large NEGATIVE impact on restore times.

At least when the source pool is of type DISK, I'd guess that files will still be ordered by filespace and node, just like they are by filespace in the case of collocation by node. Not always. I often find volumes with a few inches used belong to a client belonging to a CG residing on another volume. It certainly looks as if files ready for migration find the desired volume in use by another member of the CG, so they go to scratch. As for reclamation, this morning I removed a client. 2 of its volumes popped to the top of the list of reclamation candidates (2 reclamation processes). One went to the expected collector. The second went to scratch. OK, I meant _normally_ (that is to say, when I'm watching). Rarely, I believe the same thing to happen here (we regularly run two migration processes in parallel). TSM Server 5.5.2.1, btw. I do manually clear out a few duplicate filling volumes per week server, but then there are several more possible reasons, among them routine changes to collocation groups (new nodes getting backed up w/o being assigned a group, nodes removed from a group when they get too large). Occasionally I do see a filling volume with a large amount of data on it not being written to for a couple of days, while new data menawhile goes to a less occupied volume - in violation of the rule that the fullest tape was chosen first. Just another very-low-priority TSM bug, I'd guess ... Lately, I also discovered phantom volumes: Filling, not appearing in any node's Q NODEDATA, no contents according to Q CONTENTS; but invariably MOVE DATA would find move around some 2..3 files totalling a few Mbytes.

At that time, I also discovered that we were still running version 6.1.2.1 as shown by both logging in with DSMADMC and the output of the Q STATUS command. At this point, I opened a problem with Tivoli support. They requested I rerun the upgrade and send them screen shots and logs of the process as well as a checksum output of the downloaded package. Again, all looked normal except that this time it ran much quicker and I received a message indicating DB2 9.5 had already been installed and would not be re-installed. And, again, the version ended up being 6.1.2.1. Two weeks ago, the problem was forwarded to a different support group who looked at it until Monday when I received a message saying they had decided the best way to get 6.1.3 installed at this point was to run the ./Uninstall_Tivoli_Storage_Manager program from the /opt/tivoli/tsm/_uninst directory and then run the upgrade again. Did that today with the same results with the additional problem of now having no B/A client on the machine and no DSMADMC. My question is; has anyone successfully installed 6.1.3?

Since HSM requires a passthrough driver on the filesystem for TSM, it's unlikely you're going to get a regular sort of HSM functionality, unless I'm missing something. You'd need to be installing TSM code inside the NAS... Having said that, it is not impossible to put TPC on a server, point that at the NAS and use it to drive policies which can remove files (TPC can archive items automatically to TSM based on policy). It may be possible to do this and leave the retrieve command for those files behind as some sort of batch file- I've seen this done in the past. You could also get into policy driven chargeback for space used on a user or group basis. That's probably as close as you will get to HSM, unless I'm missing something.

Re: Sharing 3494
Hi Sam, it exists two ways to share 3494. One of them is using TSM Library Sharing. One TSM is the master and the others are Client. In this case, all TSMs share the same category in the definition because you only define one library from TSM Master,but I don't recomended that. Second way is defining AIX like Lan host attachment or something like that in the 3494 Library manager. In this case you can define a new library in AIX TSM with a new category for scratch and private cartridges. 3494 library manager is be able to manage both TSMs. Regards, Fran Tivoli Storage Architect.

Re: Desperation, DR, and four TS3100 libraries...

I'm drawing a blank here, any suggestions welcomed. I have a TSM customer who makes their copypool tapes using a TS3200 with LTO4 drives. The TS3200 is a rack-mounted, 2 drive, 40-mumble slot standard ASCII library. No issues. One copy pool, tapes vaulted and sent offsite. They want to go to a commercial DR vendor site and do a DR test next week. The commercial DR vendor, unbelievably, has no multi-drive LTO4-capable libraries. Instead, they want us to use 4 (count 'em, four) TS3100 libraries. The TS3100 is a rack-mounted, 1 drive, 20-mumble slot standard ASCII library. There's only 1 copy pool, so all tapes were created on the same device class. Ignoring the which-carts-would-go-in-which-library issue, I can't have a device class pointing to 4 libraries. And, the TS3100 is built in such a way that unlike a TS3500, you can't open the doors and access the drives for manual mounting. (I'd be happy to pull the covers off and try it, ignoring any warranties I might void, but I doubt the vendor will let me attack the thing with a screwdriver/wrench/hacksaw.) If I put all the carts in one TS3100 that will work, but that leaves me only 1 drive to restore all the clients, and they won't likely get done in the desired time window. The only thing I can think of to use all 4 drives, is to define those four TS3100's as 1 manual library with 4 manual drives, and use the front panel of each TS3100 to move tapes from the I/O slot to the drive when TSM requests a mount. (Actually the FIRST thing I thought of, was cancel the DR contract, this is nonsense. But my customer isn't convinced yet...) Anybody got a better solution?

Fastback uses incremental for ever disk block backup and saves all info in a disk repository and you can integrate FastBack with TSM. From point of view of fastback is the same if you directory have one or one million files becasue the backup is a disk block level. When you have to restore you have two posibilities amoung several one is replace the whole volume with an instant restore and you could give service when it begins to restore or the second posibility is, for example, if your data is locate in the K: directory you can mount from backup unit K: like unit X: and move files from X: to K: Regards, Fran - Mensaje original De: Mehdi Salehi iranian.aix.supp...@gmail.com Para: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Enviado: jueves, 30 de abril, 2009 10:15:37 Asunto: Re: best backup method for millions of small files?

For instance, by default it would monitor for changes to .doc and .xls and .txt files, but not by default the .exe files. Versions are captured into a local cache directory when the user makes a change. Thus the idea of continuous protection, that allows the user recovery from an oops in the middle of the day when working on a document (whereas TSM backups are normally set up for once a day). CDP has a GUI that can go back and retrieve any saved version, as you might expect. You set controls on the amount of space used for the cache, which indirectly controls how many versions you can save. In addition to the local cache, the backed up versions can be sent to a remote location, which can be an external drive, a network drive or a TSM server (CDP understands what TSM is). If the remote connection isn't available, CDP will wait until it is available to do the remote upload, while the local monitoring/caching still works. The CDP product will also do a scheduled backup, which scans and backs up everything, more like a daily TSM client backup. Again that backup can go to a different drive (like a network drive), or to a TSM server. It's really designed for desktops/laptops, that may not be connected to your network continuously. It's inexpensive (not compared to freeware, of course). I run it on a home PC to local cache and an external USB drive. I find the setup interface rather awkward and non-intuitive, but it certainly does what it claims to do. I have restored working documents I have stomped, and been grateful for the result, more than once!

Re: TSM being abandoned?
Hello colleagues, TSM being abandoned ? I don't know but IBM 6.1 will have much more functionality than previous versions. IBM has bought two companies FilesX and Diligent . FilesX will be add to TSM in Windows environments, and Diligent improves the dedup technologies. First question : deduplication is very interesting for all backup software, but TSM has more necessities than dedup although in version 6.1 will be available. TSM doesn't need to backup the whole environment each weekend then dedup is more important for other backup sw. Second question : DB2 or TSM db, I am not an expert in DBs, but I think we will have better availability, performance with DB2. We will run an audit db online, and HADR will be available with DB2 ( I hope ). Nowadays I have several customers with DB size around 200 GBytes, this is a problem, I suppose DB2 can manage this TSM dbs better than TSM DB. Fourth question : In my opinion VTLs provide not too much possibilities, in general VTLs aren't matures but it is ideal for lanfree backup. I don't like too much VTL can manage all volumes, I prefer TSM does that. TSM is working for many years and more or less works properly.

All that said, yes I still use the command line dsmadmc with -consolemode to get a real-time fly-by of what's happening in TSM (yes, a wish-list item for development to put this into the ISC/AC). I also use the command line (dsmadmc) because I can create an icon with a large scroll bar and customize the size of the window. And yes, when you run a script, the output on the command line is cleaner than that of the ISC/AC. After all that, go and buy whatever add-on product you like, but don't just dismiss the ISC/AC - take the time to learn it and use it to your advantage. You'd be surprised how much it can boost your productivity.

This warning is not in the 5.4 docs. Does it work now? Has anybody tried it? The IBM docs show how to delete a backup using the RMAN change command. Quite clumsy when compared to a 'delete obsolete'.

Re: HSM for Windows
Hi, I don't think HSM is a bad product, I think you need to clarify what the product does. 1.- Retversion for archvie copy group . Or how many days you can store a file without activity. 2.- Archive pool - with a copystgpool. 3.- If you run migrations with HSM and run backups with TSM. TSM BACKUPS THE STUB FILES and the lastest version will be the stub file. Then the great advantage is you can restore the stub files from TSM, quickly restore, and if you need open the files HSM will be charge of that. 4- In my opinion the major problem is the reconciliation. But like Igor said in 5.5 will be available. regards, Fran - Mensaje original De: Igor Yakovenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Enviado: lunes, 16 de julio, 2007 9:07:26 Asunto: Re: HSM for Windows Hello, In new 5.5 version of TSM (4Q2007) we are waiting reconciliation feature for HSM for Windows product.

One question I have not been able to figure out is whether HSM the filesystem ever perform any sort of reconciliation - for example, when a user finally decides to delete his illegal mp3 collection from the corporate fileserver, how does the HSM archive receive that notice so it can be reclaimed? Or are we going to have ghosts in the attic forever? Kelly also had a good point about HSM becoming an easy-to-get-in but hard-to-get-out type of product.

If you haven't already, see the Performance topic in chapter 1 of the TDP Domino manual for some perspective on what your numbers indicate. Whereas the Consumer session is twiddling its thumbs waiting for buffer filling by the Producer session, it suggests that the disk system that the database is on is stinko, or that there are impediments to the I/O. This is borne out also in the ReadWrite vs. SendRecv numbers. Ideally, you should have benchmark data from when the disk system was introduced, to know what it's throughput limits are, to compare against what you're seeing now. You can employ various monitoring tools in AIX to look for disk contention, artificial degradation due to process re-nicing, etc. I should think that your Notes guy has already checked for a generous / buffers value, but make sure.

Re: HSM for Windows
Hi, I don't agree with you I think it is a more or les a good product, I only detect a problem Reconcile Files. But you can backup and restore stub files from TSM client and you can restore one stub and recall the file from HSM and you don't need to recall all files. In case you lost a directory with 1 files you restore the stub files it is more quickly. Other point is you need to establish a archive copy group with a long retention because you can recall a file because you have the stub file and this can be expired in the TSM Server. - Mensaje original De: Allen S.

Re: Consoldation of servers
Hi Ben , You have 2 posibilities. 1-. Export/Import form TSM Server1 to TSMServer2. 2.- You can define the client nodes in TSM Server1 in the TSM Server2 and wait for expire in the data en TSM Server1 --- Ben Geldenhuys [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribis: Hi My Scenario as follows TSM server running 3.7.5 on Aix 4.3.3 contains archiving backups for a set of client nodes. 2nd TSM server 3.7.5 on Aix 4.3.3 contains backups for totally different client nodes. We need to migrate/move/? the initial server's data to the 2nd server. How do I do that ? Are there any utilities available to perhaps read the data on the 1st servers tapes and add it's existance to the 2nd server ? Ben. This e-mail is sent in terms of the following policy/disclaimer.
