Hello all, I've been on this list perhaps 10 or so years from when this animal was named ADSM.. Asked a lot of question and probably answered as many. Although my site is probably modest in comparison to many on this list, the core concepts are the same nonetheless. This sort of knowledge sharing is very helpful. Obviously asking others with experience is helpful, but also the process of answering questions clarifies one's own understanding. Although TSM administration was only one of several hats I wore, at times it was my primary focus. I'm taking my retirement after 30 years with the state and likely taking work elsewhere. If that involves TSM then I will reincarnate on the list with another email address. Thanks for all the help.

Re: Why virtual volumes?
I'm curious. We've never relied on storing the TSM db backup to tape. We backup to disk and rcp it to a 2nd site. That's seems the simplest method. Anyone else do the same? [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/23/2007 9:00:35 AM Richard, You asked thought provoking questions, but didn't answer mine. Hi, again . . . I guess I don't quite understand the situation. You have a remote site with a server you want to backup to your TSM server. Then, you ask why you would need VV's back at the remote site. What I don't understand is why you feel you need any kind of VV/tape/whatever at the remote site? If your TSM server had DR capability (offsite copypool and offsite db backup) then I don't see what you are trying to solve with a VV back at the remote site. As to why VV? I think it depends upon what the other options are. We used to use VV for db backups and offsite copies. It works well, although we had major problems with TSM not putting expired tapes back into scratch status. I really liked VV for TSM db backups. All you needed for restore was IP connectivity. When we restored TSM servers to our test system for upgrade testing this worked real well, instead of having to play with the devconfig file RMT devices to do a restore. Basically, I see VV as being usefull when you already have TSM servers with libraries at separate sites, and you want to get offsite copies of your data, and/or if you have multiple tsm servers with libraries and you don't want to get into library sharing. Ie: It's there, use it. I see VV as a TSM method of have remote and/or shared TAPE. How to do remote tape: VV, remote SAN (FCIP/iFCP), Truck. How to do shared tape: VV, san with library sharing. The question to me is what problem are you trying to solve, then which technology.

Hi all. Whilst investigating something else, we discovered a number of nodes that have old filespaces still stored within TSM - eg: Node Name: (node name) Filespace Name: /data Hexadecimal Filespace Name: FSID: 4 Platform: SUN SOLARIS Filespace Type: UFS Is Filespace Unicode?: No Capacity (MB): 129,733.3 Pct Util: 92.1 Last Backup Start Date/Time: 06/09/05 20:03:56 Days Since Last Backup Started: 764 Last Backup Completion Date/Time: 06/09/05 20:05:16 Days Since Last Backup Completed: 764 Last Full NAS Image Backup Completion Date/Time: Days Since Last Full NAS Image Backup Completed: Node Name: (node name) Filespace Name: /Z/oracle Hexadecimal Filespace Name: FSID: 12 Platform: SUN SOLARIS Filespace Type: UFS Is Filespace Unicode?: No Capacity (MB): 119,642.2 Pct Util: 31.5 Last Backup Start Date/Time: 08/26/05 01:03:08 Days Since Last Backup Started: 686 Last Backup Completion Date/Time: 08/26/05 01:14:01 Days Since Last Backup Completed: 686 Last Full NAS Image Backup Completion Date/Time: Days Since Last Full NAS Image Backup Completed: Node Name: (node name) Filespace Name: /mnt Hexadecimal Filespace Name: FSID: 15 Platform: SUN SOLARIS Filespace Type: UFS Is Filespace Unicode?: No Capacity (MB): 120,992.9 Pct Util: 55.8 Last Backup Start Date/Time: 01/26/06 20:05:15 Days Since Last Backup Started: 533 Last Backup Completion Date/Time: 01/26/06 20:06:34 Days Since Last Backup Completed: 533 Last Full NAS Image Backup Completion Date/Time: Days Since Last Full NAS Image Backup Completed: These are all filesystems which existed at some time in the past, but which were removed as part of an application upgrade (or system rebuild, or ...), and hence no longer exist. It seems that TSM is taking the attitude of if I can't see the filesystem, I'll not do anything about marking files in that filesystem inactive, so the data never expires. I can understand the reasoning behind this approach, but it does mean that there's a large amount of data floating around that is no longer needed (a quick and dirty estimate says around 83 TB across primary and copy pools, although some of that needs to stay). A delete filespace will clear them up quickly, obviously, but there's a twist: how can we identify filesystems like this, short of going around to each client node and doing a df or equivalent? Searching the filespaces table gives us some 600 filespaces all up; I *know* that several of these have to stay - eg, image backups don't update the backup_end timestamp, and there are some filespaces that are backed up exclusively with image backups. At the moment, the best I can come up with is to: * use a SELECT statement on the filespaces table to get a first cut (select node_name, filespace_name, filespace_id from filespaces where backup_end current_timestamp - N days); * use QUERY OCCUPANCY on each of the filespaces mentioned in the first cut; if the total occupied space is below some threshold, ignore it as not being worth the effort; * use a SELECT statement on the backups table to confirm that no backups have come through in the past N days. (select 1 from db where exists (select object_id from backups where node_name=whatever and filespace_id=whatever and state=ACTIVE_VERSION and current_timestamp
Re: SATA disk?
In our situation we plan on putting primary storage pools on SATA, keeping copypools on cartridge because of the constraint that copypools behave like virtual volumes. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/12/2007 9:32 AM To me it is not the incoming, but the outgoing that is the greatest concern. If the next pool is physical tape, be sure you have enough speed to keep up with your tape drives. If the disks cannot keep up with the physical tape drives then performance will not be acceptable. Since many VTLs use ATA disks we know it can be done. Andy Huebner -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian-IT Smith Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 3:24 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] SATA disk? Hi I have been doing some extensive testing on the entire disk storage pool question. The first question, is what is the feed? i.e. how many network connections does the TSM Server have. I am assuming all your larger systems are likely to go LAN FREE direct to tape. Also, what volume are you backing up. The disk geometry that I have used for testing is 146GB 15K FC, 300GB 10K FC and the 500GB 7.5K SATA drives. All in RAID 5 configurations, optimised for the array that they are in. Any cached disk subsystem, will cache the Io writes and to an extent 'hide' disk performance from the host. However, with TSM, the sustained high write profile through a backup window means the disk array cache becomes filled with 'write pending' data when using SATA drives. This is data in cache waiting to be destaged, i.e. waiting on the physical spindles. The FC disks showed a write pending amount, but once the array starts to favour the destage, the disks can keep up- whilst retaining a good host performance- 4 times that of the SATA. In this case the disk array usually has to throttle the host, and I have been seeing 50%+ wait_io on the SAR output of the TSM server. I personnally would advise, for larger systems do not use SATA. It's IO profile is more suited to a low IO activuity and certainly not the susteined IO that is seen during the TSM daily operation. Also, bare in mind rebuild times on SATA. RAID 6 (dual parity) will slow the write down even more, RAID 5 may present a 30 hour + period of exposure to data in the pools.

The current status of everything is kept in the database and some config files: /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt\ /home/root/tsmfiles/devconfig.info \ /home/root/tsmfiles/volhistory.info So if the data is all on cartridge when you migrate and you create disk based storage pools and db vols on the target side that match the source, and move those config fies to equivalent places, you should be able to backup the db on one side, restore on the other.

I have several different paths that I can follow and am trying to get a little more detailed information so I know we can decide on which method to use. If I want to migrate server-to-server does the data go into the disk storage pool for the node first and then copy off to tape?

It all depends on your setup. If you are assigning physical resources to the TSM LPAT, NICS and FIBRE, then it really is no different from a standalone. If the model of p5 is a large one and you are consolidating a number of servers to a single LPAR, then you might want to look into defining virtual ethernets on all your LPARS on the server that is also hosting TSM.

Re: Windows 2000 and 2003 servers backups very poor performance
Doesn't matter the speed of your card if there is a mismatch on the nic and port. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/23/07 1:33 PM We are using GigE and Curtis we are using a separate nic for tivoli backups.

Re: Reply: copypools on disk on AIX?
Thanks to everyone for their input on creating copypools on disk ( and wildcard deletes) I discovered a few things from a typo. I entered an incorrect directory name in the device class def and TSM dymanicly created the directory and file-volumes in that directory. That led to some confusion until I discovered that. Also, when I corrected the def and the ones dynamcily created were not available it led to a lot of error messages and freezing of the TSM server. As to the question of preformatting. I question if it makes sence on volumes created on RAID5 disks. RAID5 will spread the allocations across disk in any event. Also since initially TSM creates them as it needs them, one at a time, that is the same as explicitly creating them with the wait option. Also, TSM has a default size of 2GB. I changed that to 50GB. That 50GB will be allocated at the point in time of creation and would be as contiguous as explicitly formatting. Also, it would be deallocated when deleted as a single 50GB, so I'm not sure in a RAID5 environment if it would lead to more fragmentation if TSM allocated them rather than my explicitly allocating them. I did set the reclaim to 20% rather than 50% to reduce the wasted space on the disk, but disk to disk transfers are much faster than volume to volume.

copypools on disk on AIX?...behavior
Anyone who has copypools on disk, I am wondering if this is your experience: 1). It only fills the volumes a few % before creating a new one. 2). The activity log is showing write errors, then creating a new volume. I susspect that is because I set the devclass to 50G and the AIX max file size can only be 2G.

Re: copypools on disk on AIX?...behavior
Yes, but it doesn't directly explain the situation. But I can infer from it that since my devclass had been set at 50G and I did not have large file enabled on AIX, that it hit the 2GB limit. The percentage of usage on each volume appears to comfirm this. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/07/06 1:29 PM Have you reviewed the Technotes on the ANR8785E message relative to your configuration? Problem The volume size for a FILE volume is less than the Maxcapacity defined for the Devclass. ANR8785E received writing to a FILE volume on TSM server. Solution TSM does not preallocate the space for a sequential volume when writing to a devclass of type FILE. TSM begins writing to the filesystem, and when the maxcapacity value for the devclass is reached, TSM will close the file and begin a new volume. If TSM finishes writing to a volume prior to reaching the maxcapacity value, the volume size will reflect how much space TSM used, not the maxcapacity value. This is why some FILE devclass volumes may be smaller than the maxcapacity value. Since TSM does not preallocate the space for a sequential volume with FILE devclass, it is possible for TSM to fill a filesystem before reaching the maxcapacity value for the devclass. This will result in an out-of-space condition on the filesystem, and TSM will display the message: ANR8785E Out-of-space in file system for FILE volume /tsm/xx.xxx. Ensure that adequate space exists in the filesystem if this error occurs. TSM will fail the process that was writing to the FILE volume when an out of space condition occurs.

Re: Reply: copypools on disk on AIX?
I believe define volume can only be used on devclass of disk, not file. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/05/06 2:25 AM Hi all, just my two cents on file-deviceclass: I agree with Kelly that Volumes should be predfined to avoid fragmentation. In addition I would very strongly recommend running the define volume command with a wait=yes to format them sequentially. While this looks a pain, volumes will be formatted without fragmentation one would get formatting several volumes at a time. Pre-formatting volumes may take it´s time (to be percise, formatting on Sun Solaris can be very slow, while W2K3 is rather quick due to differences in the filsystem!), but you just run it once and it can be run in the background.

Re: copypools on disk on AIX?
I am in the process of formatting some now on /var/diskpool/satacopyvolf (the directory that hasn't had many allocations. It was added to the initial set and I then did an upd devclass. I was given an error when I tried using 5000 as a formatsize; it took a 1000. So now I assume I can delete the volumes auto created in the other directories and then use the def vol to repopulate the space. I've noticed some volumes are 0 percent used but TSM reports out of space ( on new volume creates). This was also when volf was showing 0 percent utilization. Question. We have several LARGE files that span multiple physical volumes. Will TSM allow a backup of a file that spans the size it the virtual volume it creates on disk? Device Class Name: CPSATABG Device Access Strategy: Sequential Storage Pool Count: 1 Device Type: FILE Format: DRIVE Est/Max Capacity (MB): 2,048.0 Mount Limit: 7 Mount Wait (min): Mount Retention (min): Label Prefix: Library: Directory: /var/diskpool/satacopyvola,/var/diskpool/satac- opyvolb,/var/diskpool/satacopyvoc,/var/diskpo- ol/satacopyvold,/var/diskpool/satacopyvole,/v- ar/diskpool/satacopyvolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/04/06 1:37 PM And then after you have all the underlying AIX work done, you should create the copy storage pool device class using some reasonable size maxcap value. I've had reasonable success with 5000M as a starter. Then instead of using scratch volumes (set maxscratch on the pool to zero), use define vol stgpool /ld1/of formatsize=5000 numberofvol=256 to create the volumes. This will create 256 files named /ld1/of, of0001, etc. Repeat until you fill up the logical drive. By creating the volumes like this you avoid fragmentation on your drives. If you need more detail about the commands to set this up, let me know. The key to successful use of file device class on devices of this sort is large write back caches. I assume you will RAID5 the drives in the DS4800. Since RAID5 is not particularly good for write, the cache is very important. We have had good luck with large disk pools using the file device class. Our shelves, though, have 1GB of cache. Kelly J.

Re: copypools on disk on AIX?
Two oddities I notice so far: 1). I created a devclass with vola-vole then started the copypool creations. I subsequently added volf. While it has created volumes in volf, only a few. It seems to use a roundrobin algorithm and since it had created a lot of volumes before the devclass def was updated to include volf, volf has gotten little use. 2).TSMMANAGER daily reports shows write errors to many of the volumes. I think this is generated when the 'volume' is full, because otherwise I can view the contents of the volume and the scheduled copyool creations completed succ4essfully over the weekend.

Re: TDP Orace License file
just reinstall. it should not overlay any files you have configed. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/29/06 8:13 PM I was wondering if there was a way to extract the TDP Oracle license file from the download C91TJML.tar.gz file I got from the Passport site. The reason I ask is because someone installed a trial version for our testing (not my idea) and the 30 day period is coming to an end. We are licensed for the product and I have downloaded the files for not only HPUX but Windows. The question I have is not only can I extract the license file, and how to do that, or do we have to use the install zip file to extract the install files and update the installation that way?

RMAN without TDP.
We were setting up the TDP for Oracle for the DBA's. We are also adding a SAN. The DBA's have said that with disk based backups (which we are moving to with the SATA drives), they can use RMAN without TSM. I do not know enough about RMAN to know if that is true. Any one out there that has a SAN and Oracle and just backs up to disk without TSM. Preiviously we used SQL-BACKTRACK and TSM for Oracle.

Re: Oracle Agent help
1). When you install the client, the default dir for config files is:
/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64 (or bin)
2). We just installed and did a basic config and a successful backup. The DBA
set up the Oracle catalog on a server and I configured
the tdpo.opt file as so:
DSMI_ORC_CONFIG/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.opt
DSMI_LOG /home/oracle/tsm
TDPO_FSTDPO_FS
TDPO_NODE TDP_DBA2DBMS
TDPO_OWNER oracle

*TDPO_DATE_FMT 1
*TDPO_NUM_FMT 1
*TDPO_TIME_FMT 1
*TDPO_MGMT_CLASS_2 mgmtclass2
*TDPO_MGMT_CLASS_3 mgmtclass3
*TDPO_MGMT_CLASS_4 mgmtclass4
*
TDPO_FSTDPO_FS (is as the file will show as the filespace name when
you do a 'q file' under TSM)
TDPO_NODE TDP_DBA2DBMS( is the node name registered with TSM)
3) The install manual recommends setting up a separate domain with explicit
management class definitions so they are the defaults for Oracle backups. We
did that.
DSM.OPT:
/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64 # more dsm.opt

Admittedly I have very limited knowledge on this subject so I hope you
can pardon my ignorance while I ask some questions. This is something we
(the dbas) have not used for some years and are only now trying to get
working again. The TSM server is on AIX 5.3 TSM 5.3.3.0, and this
particular client is at 5.3.4 on HP-UX Itanium. The agent level they
installed is 5.2.3.0 from the looks of the info they sent me, yet they
say they just got it from IBM so I am confused since I have 5.3.3. for
them if they would have just talked to me. Perhaps the best thing to do
is upgrade but I think it will not fix the errors since it is more than
likely some sort of config problem to start. The dbas here now have no
experience with this product, and although he says hes configured it
properly some things stick out at me as being wrong based on some of the
email I have saved from the group.
To start I have created a management class and node specifically for
this client. It is not in its own domain so it is not the default
class, and I dont think that is a problem, however I am guessing the
tdpo.opt needs this information, see below, but they have that section
commented out and the names listed are not the one I created. Should
this be fixed and is there something else missing from the file. The
dsm.opt for the client only has the servername and the dsm.sys a bit
more but not sure if those entries are relevant so they are not listed
here.
Hopefully someone can decipher all of this and help me out.

Re: restore volume question
depends if your storage pool is collocated or not. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/01/06 2:54 PM I discovered a damaged volume and ended up restoring the volume using the 'restore vol' command. The command reported that it marked the volume being restored as destroyed but it did not tell me which volume it would be restored to. The process didn't list it either. Does this generate a new volume or does it just spread the data around on other volumes. Thank you for your assistance!!

Re: TDP Oracle
For that part the manual was clear. Better to just create a separte domain (policy/management class) and set the default mangement class to veredelte=o reteonly=0 Yes, the manual suggest a separate node name and when you define that node name you would set it to the separate domain. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/20/06 3:10 PM Looks like folks here are finally looking into using this function here and I want to know how things should be set on the TSM server side so I have a couple of questions. 1. Can we use a domain we have in place already and if so are there any settings we need to look at? 2. I believe expiring of objects is done from the RMAN side. If this is correct how do I know they are keeping, or maybe better described as deleting, what they should? 3. If this ignores the retention values set in the management class settings, and I believe it still does, do I need a specific management class for them? 4. I am assuming we should use a specific node name for these backups and not let them use the node name that is now backing up to the server. Still correct right? 5.

Re: TDP Oracle
the problem you have with them not deleteing automaticly may be in the client (node) def. You have to make sure Backup Delete Allowed?: Yes is set. do a q node x f=d and verify. If it is not set, even if they product issues a delete it will not occur. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/20/06 3:28 PM On Fri, 20 Oct 2006 12:10:17 -0700, Gill, Geoffrey L.

Don't worry about that. They don't. as in, they don't delete what they're supposed to, they keep all sorts of crud they know they aren't supposed to. We've got an issue open with them since forever ago. We've taken to periodically switching node names, and then blowing away the old one.

Re: Odd client problem - backs up all files every night
the client may be running an explicit 'selective' backup, forcing the backup of all files. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/19/06 11:00 AM One of my clients has decided to back up all files every night, instead of performing an incremental backup, so I have multiple identical copies of ancient files and old versions of files are rapidly overwritten by multiple copies of the current version. I'm using the BA Client and all my client machines use a single policy. I've checked that the default backup action in the client is incremental. Nothing is logged to the error log that might suggest problems. Is this a common problem and how can I fix it? I'm not that experienced with TSM yet but we're running 5.3.3 on Windows 2003.

Latest TDP for Oracle
Hi, What is the latest TDP for Oracle version. I looked on the internet at: ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/tivoli-data-protection/oracle/aix/ and v2202 was the latest folder.

Re: Audit restore storage volume tape
do a move data to copy the good files from that tape to another, then a upd vol to destroy the defective tape, then a restore stgpool which should then only have to restore the missing file. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/28/06 11:57 AM One thing concerned me, you referred to having only one bad file, I think more along the lines that I have a bad tape. I want to get the surviving data off before more is killed by this failing tape. The odds of data being lost in both the primary and copy pools is pretty low. TSM, as you have found out, will not copy an object the has some error, which means the tape in the copy pool with the copy of the object does not get expired and returned to scratch.

TSM 5.3.3 startup in /etc/inittab on AIX ( problem?)
Hello, We upgraded TSM from 5.2 to 5.3.3 over the weekend. We also upgraded AIX on that server from 5.2 to 5.3.3 After the AIX upgrade, TSM aborts on startup from /etc/inittab However, opening a terminal window an enetering the same startup brings up TSM with no problem. In fact, it is still running for several days. The /etc/inittab entry: autosrvr:2:once:/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.adsmserv /dev/console 21 #Start the Tivoli Storage Manager server The startup in the terminal window: /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.adsmserv /dev/console 21 Anyone experienced similar problems?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/22/06 9:57 AM Without resulting messages or AIX Error Log problem indications, we can't provide a lot of assistance, but these thoughts... - It's not a good idea to direct service messages to the console, both because they become lost and because there can be issues with the console. It's better to have like: /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.adsmserv /var/log/tsmserv/ tsmserv.log 21 - Starting an application like TSM from inittab can be problematic... The relative position can be an issue, as for example being too early in the system start sequence such that volumes are not yet ready. Though the position may look okay, the subsystem starts may be asynchronous, and your process ends up in a race with other establishment processes. Further, by starting from Init, you may not have needed environment variables in effect, which are in a login session. (You can compensate for this by modifying rc.adsmserv.) Look through your /var/adm/ras/conslog (if not over-cycled) and other logging areas for substantive evidence of the problem.

Re: TSM DB backup question
Is the DB backup of any use after the next db backup is taken. The data on the volumes changes, and data is expired and tapes reclaimed...so what is the value of older db backups? We back up the db to disk and ftp a copy over to a remote site. Our backup data is kept in one tape library and the copypool in a separate library, both at separate sites. So if our main site has a fire, the backup data is available from the separate site. If that backup site has a fire, the copypool in the main site can be used to recreate the backup storage pools.
