multiple image backups
Hello all, Does anyone know the best way (if any) to run multiple image backups from one client at once? We have 8 drives available to us, but we can only seem to get one image (raw device) backup to kick off at a time. Meanwhile there are 7 drives sitting idle. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Josh Gable EDS begin:vcard n:Gable;J D tel;fax:(918) 292-5156 tel;work:(918) 292-4159 x-mozilla-html:FALSE org:Backup and Recovery;Enterprise Coverage version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Infrastructure Specialist adr;quoted-printable:;;EDS=0D=0A4000 North Mingo Road;Tulsa;OK;74116; fn:J D Gable end:vcard
Re: Please help - ANS1311E Server out of data storage space in TSM
Do you have disk caching enabled? If so, disable it, move the data off of your
disk volumes, and try it again. I have an open PMR about this very issue. We
are running TSM 5.1.1.6 on an AIX 4.3.3 server.

1) My primary advice is that you follow the advice I gave you before, and
work on getting the ODBC driver set up correctly. I pointed you to
detailed diagnostic information in the README file, and offered to have
you send me the results so that I can get a better understanding of the
problem. Once the ODBC driver is set up correctly, it will work as I have
already shown you.
2) While it may work okay, I do not recommend using the wzrdhlpr.exe file
that ships with the TSM server, as it is not intended for end-user use.
Instead, you should be using the administrative command line interface
that ships with the TSM client, dsmadmc.exe.
3) To read the file murali, get rid of the imports for
java.io.InputStream and InputStreamReader, and get rid of the is and
reader variables (and all lines refering to those variables). Instead,
use FileReader. You can also get rid of the declaration for process.
Also, uncomment the code at the end of the try block.
4) exec() launches the command in a separate process but does not wait for
that process to end. Therefore you should use the process's waitFor()
method to make the parent process wait for the child process to finish
before processing continues. Note that waitFor() throws
InterruptedException. Also, make sure to use the /c option after cmd.
import java.io.FileReader;
...
try {
...
String command = cmd /c dsmadmc -id=raibeck -password=bab5com
select * from sessions murali;
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command).waitFor();
br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(murali));
System.out.println(br = + br);
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine())!=null) {
System.out.println(line:+line);
}
}
catch(InterruptedException intex)
{
System.out.println(intex.getMessage());
}
...
5) You may find it desirable to add the -commadelimited or -tabdelimited
option to dsmadmc, which will help in parsing the resulting output. See
the TSM Administrator's Reference, Chapter 3, for more information about
the command line interface.

Hi,
When I execute the command on MSDOS prompt it writes the output to the
file murali but when I do the same through java code as shown at end it
does
not write and it does not give any erros either. Any thoughts? (I tried
to
capture the console output without redirecting to a file first. But that

Re: TSM 5116 server / storageagent performance degradation
Check your tcp_mssdflt settting. It sets the default packet size for non-local networks. It sounds like that's the situation you're in. The clients are sending packets in 1460, but you're sending them back out at 536. That's 3 times as many packets and acks for the same amount of data. We had this problem for a while and setting the tcp_mssdflt to 1460 resolved it. Josh Rivera, Jose Spri wrote: I am in the same predicament however I am in 64 bit mode both Aix and TSM.

David [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/15/02 09:20AM We were running tsm 4.2.2.4 on an S7A AIX server. We were putting through approx 1.7 TB nightly with approx 85% going to disk storagepool and the remaining going direct to tape. We were also testing Lan-free with Gresham EDT-Distributape and STK acsls/9840 tape drives and we were consistently on an UDB api backup receiving 15 MB/s one month ago we upgraded all server and storageagents to tsm 5.1.1.6 level and since then we have seen performance drop. We are having trouble getting through the 1.7 TB nightly. The same lan-free tests are only getting us around 10 MB/s. We will be upgrading to a bigger and more powerful aix server this weekend in hopes that the performance drop is related to our S7a server reaching the end of its life span but I know when we upgraded from tsm 3.7 to 4.2 we saw an increase in server performance, I'm worried that the upgrade from 4.2 to 5.1 has gone in reverse.

Encryption
Does anybody have any evidence/research as to what kind of additional overhead encryption puts on a client when processing a backup (CPU, Memory, etc.)? I am running some tests myself, but the numbers are staggering (we're seeing up to a 300% increase in the backup time in some cases). I understand that it is largely based on the horsepower of the node, but I was wondering if anyone else is seeing the same, or if anyone knew a place I could get some additional info on encryption.
