Re: LANfree to multiple tape drives concurrently
Hi In the case of a simple filesystem backup (BA), set the RESOURCEUTILIZATION parameter in the client dsm.opt/sys file to allow for multiple mounts and set the MAXIMUM MOUNT POINTS (maxnummp) in the Node config to allow for how many drives you want to let them use. I tend to set it like this for my four drive clients. update node NODENAME maxnummp 4 Add this to dsm.sys file in the Windows world or dsm.opt for Unix. resourceutilization 10 This page explains the setting a littl better than I could as the numbering system is just strange. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itsm.perf.doc%2Fr_opt_client_resourceutilization.html Hope that helps Cheers Jim Jim Young Tivoli Team Leader Cattles Group IT.

TDP MSSQL - Utilise TSM for Archive Logs
Hi Quick question. Does anyone know how to make TSM become a device for archive logs in MSSQL? We've got the diff and full backups scheduled by running a command from the client, but i'm struggling to identify how to drop the logs to TSM on a frequent basis without setting up a schedule on the windows client machine.

TSM Server V5.3.2.0 Client V5.3.2.0 both on AIX 5.3 A filesystem was created as /home/twsprod and later down the line they removed that filesystem and settled for twsprod to be part of the file system /home instead.

The only output returned is the directorys and the .profile file. tsm q ba * -subdir=yes Size Backup DateMgmt Class A/I File ----- --- 256 B 01/11/07 03:47:55FILE_MGMT A /home/twsprod/ 256 B 01/11/07 03:47:55FILE_MGMT A /home/twsprod/lost+found 460 B 07/11/07 03:33:48DEFAULT A /home/twsprod/.profile tsm If i drop a directory down to /home and run dsmc q ba * -subdir=yes i can see files in and below /home/twsprod Running a q files NODE shows the /home/twsprod as a filesystem.

Recovery issue
Hi, Can someone please point me in the right direction. I've got an AIX 5.3 OS with a vanilla install of TSM5.3.2.0. and I'm looking to do a test upgrade by recovering the live 5.3.2.0 Database to this server and then upgrade. Or i was trying to. Right, I've dsmfmt'd the DB Log *.dsm files as per the DRMplan But when it comes to using the dsmserv command for the format or restore, its bombing out. The only pointers i can find relate to setting DSMSERV_DIR to the install path, which is true already.

Advice - DB Restore without tape
Hi, Need some quick advice. I have to test the server upgrade to V5.5 from V5.3.2.0. I have a basic vanilla install of 5.3.2.0 on AIX but have no access to a tape drive to restore the TSM database from the live environment. Whats the easiest way to get a DB backup to this server to restore it? Is it to create a new devclass of file and drop it to that? Any guidance gratefully received. All RTFM replys please spare me. It's not something I've done before. Cheers Jim Cattles plc Registered in England No: 543610 Kingston House, Centre 27 Business Park, Woodhead Road, Birstall, Batley, WF179TD.

Re: killing in progress backups that do not have a session
Hi, Only way I've found (after investigating the client) to remove this (annoying) event is by updating the schedule the client is associated with. eg. q assocwork out which schedule the client is linked to. in this case SCHEDULE_1 in the domain DOMAIN upd sched DOMAIN SCHEDULE_1 description=BLAH BLAH amend the description to be close to the original This has the bonus effect of murdering any 'in progress' schedules.

Using the date/time value from the Query EVent, inspect the client scheduler and error logs for the times, and see what transpired. The TSM server Activity Log may also have some info. Assure that the client and server are syncing to a time standard, so there's no confusion as to when the schedule is supposed to run. Do 'Query ASSOCiation' and check the time window of the schedule with which the client is associated.

Backing up Groupwise on Netware Server
Hi, Does anyone have any information on backing up a Groupwise mailserver on Netware(6.5 SP6) using a TSM server (AIX). IBM have stated that the best I can hope for is a fuzzy backup. Not really a good selling point when I'm trying to provide a single backup solution to the company. I keep finding references to St Bernards Open File Manager but need more info on how this would work. Any advice, opt file examples, configurations or tech papers gratefully received.

Re: Strange difference between Primary and Copypool
Hi My theory works if the following is true. 1) the copy pool is offsite. 2) your statement that the copy pool is larger than the primary pool was incorrect. Its the other way round looing at the numbers given. Original sizings Storagepool MB -- - DL_LBU3_CPY_1 26489427.98 DL_LBU3_PRI_1 27658559.10 As the tapes onsite (in the library) can be mounted over and over again putting new data at the end of the volume until full, you have a non-tape wasting process, BUT The offsite tapes are created and then shipped offsite. The offsite tapes can only be recreated from onsite data and as such, unless they trigger the 60% free reclamation they will sit there until 40% utilized, never defraging, just taking up lots of your lovely tapes. Additional waste can be caused by collocation as well. Not knowing if that is used for nodes in this pool i cannot comment. Plus we don't know the size of files you are backing up against the size of the tapes. ie. a 36Gb database file on a 40Gb DLT holds 90% of the tape. I find this SQL useful for identifying tapes that get stuck and not reclaimed. select volume_name, stgpool_name,pct_utilized, status from volumes - where pct_utilized 40 and stgpool_name 'DISKPOOL' - order by pct_utilized, stgpool_name, volume_name Cheers Jim Cattles plc Registered in England No: 543610 Kingston House, Centre 27 Business Park, Woodhead Road, Birstall, Batley, WF179TD.

Re: ANR8314E Library is Full Error
Hi, One of the problems we have had in the past with a 3584 hogging slots not known to TSM is if the VIRTUAL IO is enabled. Check this from the web based library login under LIBRARY VIRTUAL IO . The other problem you will have after that is identifying the volumes in the library not assigned to TSM. This you can get from CARTRIDGES DATA CATRIDGES. then select (unnassigned/shared) from the drop down 'select a logical library' option. that is if you have the same web based GUI we have. Out of interest what number do you get back from TSM if you run this SQL. select count(*) as Vols in Lib from libvolumes and also try q vol access=unavailable f=d If that one brings anything back then you definately need to audit your library.

TIPS on freeing up library slots The fastest scratch provisioning in a situation like that is to delete any Pending volumes. Where you are constrained for tape space to reclaim volumes within the library, consider performing a Move Data to the upper disk storage pool in the hierarchy. (You can always temporarily add a spare disk to the top of the hierarchy, if you don't already have one in the hierarchy, and leave the copy group target as tape, unchanged.) You can later let the disk-held data drain down into the tape pool when you have the tape space.
