Re: Drive Inconsistencies

2006-04-13 Thread Jack Coats
Suggestion: go check your drive, see if it has a code on the front.  My
guess is that it does.  A drive being offline (as in 'q drive') is
separate from the path ('q path') being offline.  They are related, but
independent.
Someone else probably has good technical explanation.

Re: ANR8300E - I/O error on library desc= the destination slot or drive was full in an attemt to move a volume

2006-04-11 Thread Jack Coats
I hope it worked for you.  In the past I have cached out the volume
where a problem was reported (both the one in the 'real slot' and the
one that TSM says should be in the slot).  Sometimes I had to check out
several until there were no more 'unknown' tapes in the library.  Then
check them all back in after doing a TSM audit checkl=barcode.  It did
take some time, but it cured the issue for me. Just my .02 pesos worth!
(this was on an IBM 3593 aka ADIC 100)

... I do remember one time I got so frustrated, I took out all the
tapes, shut down tsm server (windows), power cycled the 3583, and
brought it all back up with an empty library.  Did a AUDIT LIBR in tsm,
the loaded all the tapes back into TSM (using the bulk door and TSM
commands). ... That cured the problem and let me have enough time for my
frustration to subside 

... I think that these processed did for me what forcing an 'inventory
from the library side' did for you.  Sounds like your method had less
frustration after you found the right answer.

Been there - Done that.  Seen it numerous times.

Just perform an audit of your library, scanning the barcodes.  There is
an
out-of-sync problem in the library inventory (internal).  There is a
tape
who's barcode it didn't read during the last scan pass or you had some
kind of library error.

In fact, I just did one. AUDIT

Anyone see this error below?   Looking for direction/suggestions?

The tape(s) do actually does dismount.  The issue is occurring on
different drives.   All volumes are online, no unavail, no damaged, etc.
I
audited the library, it was a successful audit checklabel=barcode.

**Background - Updated a week ago Library firmware from 3.1 to 4.1 and
then backed out the library firmware code because internal barcode on
the
tapes could not be read.  So we went back to our 3.1 firmware and
thought
we were ok again.   Also, a couple other ADIC clients reported similiar
issues with new firmware.   Then we started seeing this error today with
TSM sense data.

Errpt - showing nothing

Only TSM is reporting error, the library and aix are reporting no

Re: Resend - Policy and DRP question

2006-04-11 Thread Jack Coats
The question is: does this mean that we have
to now keep the 10 latest tapes offsite for complete DRP?

From what I am seeing it says you are now defining the process to keep 10 
tapes un-used.  If you keep them off site, so much the better for disaster 
preparedness.

You do not have to change the retention of your database backups to retain 
additional versions of data.  

Changing the 'del volhist' you did is reasonable since you are changing the 
retention of database tapes too the same retention.  

Now I could be totally off base, lets see if a more experienced eye has an 
opinion too.

I have also changed our del volhist to tod=today-10 where it was

I have been told that previously we had to keep the 7 latest copy tapes

Re: Clustered Servers and Tivoli

2006-04-10 Thread Jack Coats
I don't know the specifics about Novell, but on AIX and Windows, we are
setting up N+1 backup services (N-nodes in a cluster, plus one for the
cluster itself).  One client on each node for its local files, and one
client that works as a fail-over-service that follows the 'active'
cluster node.  The control files for the 'clustered' node also needs to
be on a disk that fails over to the active cluster as well.  That is the
one that backs up the clustered data.

At lease that works in our environment.

Restoring Backed Up Storage Group and Oracle cross system restores

2006-04-05 Thread Jack Coats
Someone else set this up and they are gone now and I need a little help.

We have one storage group we keep only one backup in it.  Every day we
issue a 'backup stg onecopygroup offsitegroup'
I have not been able to find out how long we keep the 'offsitegroup' or
how many copies.  I was told this 'offsitegroup' is kept for 30 days (or
versions).

We have a TDP used on AIX to backup Oracle that backs up to the
'onecopygroup'.  I may need to restore a database from a week or so ago
today.

My gut feeling is to just bring back all my 'offsitegroup' tapes (or
preferably just a few) and TSM is smart enough to just use data from
those tapes to do the restore.  And when we are done, send them offsite
again.  But I am not convinced I am right.  So here are some questions:

(1) Where should I look to see how long the 'offsitegroup'
really keeps backups.

(2) How could I determine which tape(s) I need to bring onsite
from the 'offsitegroup'?

(3) Do I need to move the data back into the 'onecopygroup' to
be able to restore from it?

(4) Any suggestions/tips/howto/RTFM on how to setup and perform
a restore using RMAN with TSM?  

(5) This will be restoring to a different Oracle server (putting
data back on a test Oracle Server 
that was backed up from a production Oracle Server.

As always, Thanks for your assistance. ... Once I get this done, I will
post a summary.

Re: Rebuilding a TSM Server ?

2006-01-20 Thread Jack Coats
I believe he means to 
  1) turn cache off on the backup pool
  2) migrate down to 0 percent from the backup pool to your tape pool
  3) and I might add, make sure your tape pool is mirrored on your copy pool as 
well.
  When I have done this, I have then run an expiration of the database, 
Then a full database backup.  Now use THIS backup to restore from.

  When I have done this, I basically did these steps, then used the TSM DRM 
process scripts (from the planfile) as a go-by to ensure I didn't miss anything.

  I hope that helps.

As far as moving the data off the backuppool prior to the restore of the db

Good Morning Farren

I am sure that you will get a number of good answers, but here are a few
points. I am sure I will be corrected for any faults in my logic. It been a
little while since I have had to move the tsm server to a new box and there
may be newer better thoughts.

When you create the space on the new server, you only have to create the
same or greater for the log and db volumes. You can use a new layout based
on your best thoughts for performance.

For the storage pools you might want to move all data off the disk storage
pool volumes before the move. Then you will not have do a restore of the
storage pools after the tsm server is restored on the new server. Otherwise
you will have to restore the disk storage pools after you restore your db
and have a running system. But for the restore of the db you do not need
your full operating size.

For the initial set up of the tape library and drives, you only need to
define one tape drive. After you restore the db, your old device
configuration will be in effect. Which means if it is different you will
have to delete and redefine the hardware to TSM.

You might want to look at the redbook for TSM DR.

OK, I'm in the process of building a new replacement TSM server (Solaris).
When it's ready I will hopefully be able to turn the old machine off and
bring the new one up again with the same host name/tcp address and away
we'll all go.

I have already got the server ready, patched, IBMTape and lmcpd drivers
installed etc, so I'm about ready to move on to the TSM side of things.

The procedures that I assume I now need to go through are as follows.
Anything with a question mark is something I'm not sure about.

1) Install TSM - Done
2) Register necessary licenses
3) Define Tape/Library devices and paths for manual library ready

4) Create device configuration file for above and add entry into the

5) Copy volume history file from original server ?

7) Format Database volume/s

Re: Backup larger than data on server

2006-01-19 Thread Jack Coats
There is also the 'chitchat' that the client and server do when discussing 
whether an individual file has been backed up or is missing.  That increases 
the network transmissions significantly if you have a large number of files and 
are not using local journaling.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Backup larger than data on server

We have TSM version 5.2. The client server I am referring to here is
Redhat linux.

In the /var/log/tsm/dsmsched.log it lists

Total number of bytes transferred:79.18 GB

However there is only around 60 Gb of data on the server (see df below)

FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 9.7G  2.1G  7.1G  23% /
/dev/sdb2 104G   57G   43G  58% /opt

Can someone explain why the number of bytes transferred exceeds the
amount of data on the server?

Thanks
Paul

Re: 100.0% full and still Filling?

 Wondering why the volume status is filling when the pct utilization is

Yes it happens.  Depends on what you specify when you specify tape
capacity.
I found that it would seldom go beyond 100% if you are using client
compression, but will regularly go well beyond 100% if there is no
client compression and there are compressible files (think standard
ASCII files versus binary type files).

You can keep it from doing this by re-stating the drive capacity, but I
like to state the drive capacity as the stated uncompressed capacity of
the drive and anything over that is pure gravy.

The volume, even if over 100%, will stay in filling status until the
volume reaches its end of volume.  It is possible to be full even if 89%
full (or at least something less than 100%) if the end of volume is
reached.  It is possible to see this if you specify the volume capacity
to be larger than the uncompressed capacity, or if there is some media.

Re: Adding additional sticker to lto tapes for Disaster Recovery Test

2005-12-13 Thread Jack Coats
In my experience, there is no good label to add to LTO tapes.
I started using either a white marker or paint pen when needing to add
information to the tapes.

If you MUST put an extra label on the tapes, I suggest some lablels I
have run across, they are VERY thin plastic/mylar with perminant type
adhesive.

I did, long ago now, try other stickers on some LTO tapes for a similar
reason, and managed to get an LTO drive gummed up inside.  Not a pretty
site, and I was nicely but firmly chastized my my IBM service person too
:( ... We all like to keep them happy.

Re: TSM Migration

2005-12-09 Thread Jack Coats
There may be technical issues, but from what I can tell it is a
religious issue for AIX vs Linux.  Both are good solutions.  Even a well
configured Windows solutions works, but it is not my preferred solution.

IMHO, a best fit solution for TSM is probably an AIX solution.  But if
you have no AIX experience on staff, and do have solid Linux people
available, then there is a reason for Linux in your environment.

If you are primarily a LINUX shop (or going to be), then going to LINUX
makes sense to me. 

As always, YMMV.
