Question about include.exclude.

2002-03-11 Thread Jason Morgan

If an include/exclude file points to a management  class that does not
exisit and the file uses the default management class, what happens when
the correct management class is put in the include/exclude file ? Does the
file get rebound to the new management class ?

Thanks in advance.

No drives available.

2002-03-07 Thread Jason Morgan

Hi,

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this problem.

I am in the process of migrating data from a V3.1 ADSM server connected to
a 3494 library containing 4 * 3590 drives.


I have set up a new ADSM server 4.2.1 to act as a data recovery server.
This server has a 3590 with a stacker attached.

The method I use to restore the data is as follows:-

1. Full archive of data.
2. Full database backup at Site A
3. Database backup and archive tape shipped to site B.
4. Point in time restore of database at Site B and an upgrade db.
5. define library lib1 device=/dev/rmt1.smc shared=no
6. define drive lib1 drive1 device=/dev/rmt1 element=16 online=yes
7 upd devc atl3590 library=lib1
8. Allter dsm.sys file on client and restore data.

This has worked for 4 servers without a problem.

However, when trying to restore data from a 5th server, I get a No drives
available in library and a mount request denied.

I can still restore data from the other 4 servers that have been migrated.

The only think I can think of is the mounlimit when the archive is taken.
The mount limit of the dev class is 4. My next attempt is to update the
mountlimit to 1 on the source server , cut the archive and retry the
restore..

Has anyone got any suggestions / work arounds. ? Can you daisy chain
multiple 3590 drives to represent a single library  ? I don't think it is
possible as a storage pool points to a devc which points to a drive.

Thanks in advance

Jason



No drives available - UPDATE

2002-03-07 Thread Jason Morgan

Earlier I posted a question regarding a migration problem I was having
while trying  to restore to a 3590 with a tape stacker.

I was encountering a no drives availabel while trying to restore.

To overcome this problem, I had to mark the volume as READ ONLY. The
restore went throught without a hitch.

Can anyone tell me what TSM does differently on a restore when a tape is
marked as READ ONLY instead of READ WRITE ?

I think it has something to do with mount points.

Thanks in advance.

I whipped this up because I run into so many people who want to figure
it out on their own, but really are just lost in the slew of new
concepts.  Here is a basic list of things to do when setting up your tsm
server the first time.  Suggestions and corrections are welcome.

---

Basic In-Order TSM Server Setup Checklist
-

Physical Installation:
   Install physical devices
   Power on system
   Install o/s maintenance
   Install tsm server and drivers
   Define devices to the O/S
  349x, 357x, 358x and 359x use Atape/IBMTAPE/lmcpd
  all others use TSM drivers

Make a larger database and log:
   define dbvolume(make space)
   define dbcopy  (mirror elsewhere)
   extend db  (tell tsm to use the new space)
   define logv(make space)
   define logc(mirror elsewhere)
   extend log (tell tsm to use the new space)
   define spacetrigger(auto-grow db and log)
   define dbbackuptrigger (only if SET LOGMODE ROLLFORWARD)

Ensure proper licensing:
   register license   (see the server/bin directory)

Storage setup inside TSM:
   define library  (top level of tape storage)
   define devclass (points to a library)
   define drive(points to a library)
   define stg  (points to a device class)
   define vol  (points to a devclass and storage pool)
   label libvol(prepares a tape for TSM use)
   checkin libv(makes tape show up in Q LIBVOL)

For Policy/Node Information:
   define domain   (top level of policy information)
   define policyset(contained within a policy domain)
   define mgmtclass(contained within policyset)
   define copygroup T=BACK (contained within a management class)
   define copygroup T=ARCH (contained within a management class)
   activate policy (only one policyset active per domain)
   register node   (belongs to a policy domain)

Typical Storage Pool Hierarchy:
   Copygroup destination is disk pool
   Disk pool NEXT is tape pool
   An extra tape pool of type COPYPOOL

Other Important Things to Look Into:
   Administrator's Guide, Working With Network of TSM Servers
  Virtual Volumes
  Library Sharing
   Administrator's Guide, Chapter 1: Introduction
  Overview of storage hierarchy and TSM concepts
   Administrator's Guide, Protecting The Server
  Protection and recovery of the system
   Administrator's Guide, Disaster Recovery Manager
  Integrated, licensed tool for server protection
   DEFINE SCHED T=C
  client backup schedules
   DEFINE SCHED T=A
  server administrative schedules (don't overlap these)
 BACKUP STG (sync up copy pool)
 UPDATE STG RECLAIM=50 (reclaim free space from tapes)
 UPDATE STG RECLAIM=100 (turn off reclaimation)
 UPDATE STG HI=0 LO=0  (migrate the disk pool to tape)
 UPDATE STG HI=90 LO=70  (migrate only during overflow)
 BACKUP DB (TSM database is critical to server function)

In all procedures WATCH FOR ERRORS.

If you have questions, see http://www.tivoli.com for Documentation.

Storage Pool Quesiton

2002-02-06 Thread Jason Morgan

Hi everyone,

I would just like to pick every ones brains.


I have the following environment

Source Environment.

TSM 3.1 running on AIX 4.2.1
IBM 3494 Library with IBM3590 Drives.
Server NamesServer1, Server2, Server3, Server4, Server5

TSM 4.1
StorageTek L700 SCSI attached.
Fibre-attached 9840 drives.
Server Names   NewServer1, NewServer2, NewServer3, NewServer4, NewServer5.


I am in the process of migrating the source systems to the new environment.
For the data restores, I have single 3590 drive with a stacker. The method
I have used so far, is recover the Source ADSM databases and restore the
data for each of the new servers by editing the dsm.opt and dsm.sys files.
This has been working ok so far because all the new servers are being
tested.

However, as soon as the first of the New Servers go live, I can no longer
restore the database. I will need to export and import the client data from
the source servers.


I have the following questions on my mind.


What is the best method of importing the data and using the new StorageTek
library ?  Should I create a new domain purely using the 9840 library and
register the original client to the new domain ? Will the data then be
stored on the new library ?



When the servers go live:-

What is the best way of backing up the data to the new Library ?

 Do I amend the device class for the current storage pools ?
 Do I create a new 9840 primary storage pool and alter the current
policy ? Ideally, I would like to have all data stored on the 9840.


Any ideas , thought would be appreciated


Many thanks

Jason

Hi

The 9840:s should be placed top down... and the first element adress is
500. For six drives it should look like this from the top of the drive
bays:

1st  drive 500
2nd  drive 501
3rd  drive 502
4th  drive 503
5th  drive 504
6th  drive 505
7th  empty
8th  empty
9th  empty
10th empty
11th empty
12th empty

The only difference if you have a L700e is that it can hold more drives,
and that the element address is between 500-519.

On-Bar restore error.

Re: On-Bar restore error.

Hi George,

Thanks for replying.

I am actually a Sys Admin working in conjuction with a DBA. We are actually
trying to restore a backup taken from another server to a new instance on
another server. The source server is an RS/6000 running ADSM API 3.1.06 and
ADSM 3.1 . The target server is RS/6000 AIX 4.2.1 TSM 4.1 and API 3.1.20.8

One question that the DBA mentioned was whether the DbSpace number ( Column
2 ) in the onstat -d report has any relevance. This is the only difference
he can see at the moment.

As part of the testing, we successfully manage to perform a full back up /
restore of an empty instance. This suggest that API /TSM  is correctly
configured.

Many thanks.

You didn't mention whether you were trying to restore a backup of the
Informix instance to itself or the backup was coming
from another server.  If you are trying to restore a backup taken on a
server to that server, I don't know if you are the sys admin or dba of that
server as well as the storage admin. If you are only the storage admin, the
33rd dbspace may have been modified by adding a device (chunk). You also
didn't mention the platform type but if it is a UNIX box, go to the /dev
dir and see if a device has been added (check file date/time) since the
backup was made.  If a device has been added to
support a new chunk for the dbspace 33, then you will need to rebuilt the
instance to be the same as when the backup was made. If the backup was made
on another machine / instance, check the devices on the donating machine to
see if the
number of chunks is consistant with the machine to be backed up to... use
onstat -d as the instance owner...

Re: Backing up logical.

Thanks for replying Dwight.. Here's a theoretical scenario.

Iv'e just taken delivery of a new RS/6000.

I have just installed an application under filesystems /app1 /app2

What is my best method of backing up these filesystems under TSM 3.7


Immediately after installing would you run

a) A full backup image of the two filesystems or

b) A  full backup image of the two filesystems and a full incremental backup


On day two /app1 and /app2 changes.

Overnight would you

a) Run an incremental image backup or

 well...
 v Improve the speed with which TSM restores file systems containing many
 small files.
 v Conserve resource on the server during backups since only one entry is
 required for the image.
 v Provide a point-in-time picture of your file system which may be useful
 if
 your enterprise needs to recall that information.
 v Provide a snapshot of your file system.
 v Restore a file system or raw logical volume that has been corrupted.
 Data
 will be restored to the same state it was when the last logical volume
 backup was performed.
 OK, that's a little low to quote the manual...
 RAW logical volumes is a real biggie... before you just couldn't do
 that...
 say you have a DB that uses raw volumes and you wanted to take a cold
 backup... you really couldn't shut down the db and backup the raw volumes,
 now you can.

 OK, we had a file system with 3/4 of a million files that were each less
 than 80 bytes in length (on avg, so around 60 MB) and folks wondered why
 it
 was taking an extreamly long period of time to back it up (hours)... well,
 it was simply all the DB overhead associated with 3/4 million files... now
 that would be a single file, as far as db activity goes and would back up
 in
 a time you would expect 60 MB to back up in.

 Now the point in time you are talking about and the point in time they are
 talking about are two different point-in-time situations here...
 your pit restore would replace any individual files (a subset of the file
 system)
 the pit they are talking about here would be a complete replace of every
 file because it is/was backed up as just one large file (not a whole bunch
 of individual ones) so same results, just differs by the amount of
 internal
 tsm DB overhead and the amount of info moved.

 hope this helps

  seems a bit much for me. Currently on the AIX side my db size is 3.7 GB.

 Subject:  define dbcopy on adsm 3.1.2.50 doesn't work ?

 We just extended the adsm database with a db volume
 (/adsm_database/db.dsm03).

 When creating a mirror copy of the database volume using:

 define dbcopy /adsm_database/db.dsm03 /users/adsm/db.dsm03

 we get:

 ANR2404E DEFINE DBCOPY: Volume /users/adsm/db.dsm03 is not available.

 (Of course the /users/adsm directory is accesible)

 Any ideas ?

 |
 |Hi all,
 |
 |
 |where do I see the actual version of the server under NT?
 |
 |
 |Reason for my question is, that I did the update to TSM 3.7.3,
 |but I still see
 |**
 |*** --- Q STATUS
 |**
 |Storage Management Server for Windows NT - Version 3, Release
 |7, Level 2.0
 |
 |A second question is related to the "Server Utilities" under
 |NT. When I open the
 | TSM-Server-Console-Monitor I'll get the message "Your
 |password has expired"
 |
 |Which password?
 |
 |thanks in advance
 |
 |
 |regards
 |Mike
