Re: SQL querying
Hi Norman! This query returns the number of failed files, not the filename of the failed files. That what I was looking for... The only place I can think of is the activity log and there is only one index on this table (DATE_TIME). The performance of a SELECT * FROM ACTLOG is ok, but as soon as you add WHERE statement to it, it becomes very slow.

Re: TSM upgrade to 5.5.1
Hi guys!
I decided to open a PMR for the TSMOR bug and support told me there already is
an open APAR for this problem:
APAR= IC57290 SER= ANR2906E UNEXPECTED SQL LITERAL TOKEN - 'RUS' ERROR FROM
OPERATIONAL REPORTING
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
The following select statement is issued for Operational Reporting:
07/09/2008 10:52:27 ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: select
option_value as LANG from options where UPPER(option_value) in
('CHS','ZH_CN','CHT','ZH_TW','DEU','DE_DE','AMENG','EN_US','ENG','ESP','ES_ES','FRA','FR_FR','ITA','IT_IT','JPN','JA_JP','KOR','KO_KR','PTB','PT_
BR')'RUS','RU_RU') (SESSION: 31)
Invalid command syntax of the select statement results in the following error
message:
07/09/2008 10:52:27 ANR2906E Unexpected SQL literal token - 'RUS'.
(SESSION: 31)
This problem was introduced in the 5.5.1 server code level.
Platforms affected: 5.5.1
Initial Impact: Medium
Additional Keywords: or o/r op report
LOCAL FIX:
The problem can be circumvented by stopping the TSMReptSvc service and exiting
the management console (mmc), then replacing the 5.5.1 tsmrept.exe with the the
one from the 550GA install package and restarting the service. The management
console can be started and the report refreshed to verify the problem has been
resolved.
The 550GA tsmrept.exe may be in the
C:\tsm_images\5.5.0.0-TIV-TSMSRV-Windows\TSM32\server\program
files\Tivoli\TSM\console directory unless the directory was deleted after the
GA install.
It's a pitty that I could not find this APAR through the IBM website. It could
have saved me opening a PMR...

Try running Ops reporting on your test server ;)
It fails immediately when you run any report, due to a spelling mistake in the

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM upgrade to 5.5.1
Hi,
currently we have TSM 5.3.4.2 running on AIX 5.3 (and an IBM 3494 tape library
with eight 3592 drives, Atape 10.7.3.0) and are planning to upgrade to 5.5.1.0
soon. I've already tested this upgrade on my test machine, and it worked fine.
This absence of any problem made me even a bit suspicious. :-)
My questions:
- Which kind of tests would you recommend performing before you'd declare a new
TSM version 'ready for production'? I've read Technote
1196013 and the relevant section in ADSM.QuickFacts. Performing a simple backup
and restore from different clients worked fine, LAN-free is not used.
- Do you know of any pitfalls in 5.5.1.0 or should it be safe to use on the
server?

Re: 5.4 performance issues
Hi Remco! What if you cannot restore a file? IBM will tell you to upgrade the client to a supported level, which you will do. Now you still cannot restore the file. Now IBM will tell you, well, the file was backed up with an unsupported client version. Bad luck... And also, most companies don't allow (and should not allow) using unsupported software usage in a production environment.

Upgrading TSM on an AIX server running multiple TSM instances
Hi *SM-ers! I'm running two TSM server instances on an AIX host. Upgrading them from 5.3 to 5.4.0.0 works fine. I installed the 5.4.0.0 code through smitty, changed the /usr/tivoli/tsm/server path to the second instance and install the 5.4.0.0 code here, using the force (-F) flag. Both instances are on 5.4.0.0 at that point. Now I'm trying the same trick for the upgrade to 5.4.2.0. Upgrading the first instance works fine, but since this is an update, the -F flage is not allowed by smitty during the upgrade of the second instance: Force Apply Failures The following is a list of fileset updates. Updates cannot be specified from the command line when the force flag (-F) is used in combination with the apply flag (-a). Maybe an AIX expert (and I now there are plenty of them on this list) can help me with this one?

Hi Andy! I have 3 servers (LBU1, LBU2 and LBU3) running. Checkout their private volume count: DL_LBU1_CPY_1 Private 634 DL_LBU1_PRI_1 Private 643 DL_LBU2_CPY_1 Private 561 DL_LBU2_PRI_1 Private 564 DL_LBU3_CPY_1 Private 441 DL_LBU3_PRI_1 Private 366 Notice that the figures on LBU1 and 2 look fine (the private volume count on the primary pool is slightly larger than the copypool count) but on the amount of private volumes for the copy pool of the LBU3 server is much (more than 20%!!) higher!

Strange difference between Primary and Copypool
Hi *SM-ers! I found something very strange on one of my TSM servers. When I issue the following command: select stgpool_name as Storagepool,sum(physical_mb) as MB from occupancy group by stgpool_name I recieve the following output: Storagepool MB -- - DL_LBU3_CPY_1 26489427.98 DL_LBU3_PRI_1 27658559.10 However, when I issue the following SQL statement: select stgpools.stgpool_name as Seq. Storage Pool, count(volumes.stgpool_name) as Volumes in Use from stgpools,volumes where (stgpools.stgpool_name = volumes.stgpool_name) and (stgpools.devclass 'DISK') group by stgpools.stgpool_name I receive the following output: Seq. Storage Pool Volumes in Use -- -- DL_LBU3_CPY_1 425 DL_LBU3_PRI_1 356 So, although the copypool (DL_LBU3_CPY_1) contains less data, it uses more tapes!!! The tape size is identical, reclaim runs fine (60% for both storagepools) and reuse delay is identical too. I'm lost here... Does anybody have any idea why the copypool uses more volumes volumes than the primary pool? Thank you very much for any reply!!!

Re: Sizing virtual tapes
I agree with John. We are currently using 100Gb. volumes in out DL700, but I'm frequently called by user who's restore seems to hang. In most cases the tape is in use by another restore or in use by a backup storagepool/reclamation which first has to finish the file it's backing up or reclaiming.

On our EMC Disk Libraries we emulate LTO1 tape drives, with 50GB maximum tapes. I believe this improves overall disk utilization for just the reason you mention. You can reclaim the smaller tapes sooner. TSM won't have to wait until ~250GB of data, which may have been written over a period of weeks, expires before the virtual tape is ready to reclaim.

Re: DP for SQL Server mirroring
Hoi Del! I understand that using the same TSM node for backing up the Principal and the new Principal after a take-over is a solution. So: if ServerA is the principal, one has to execute the backup script on this server. After a take-over, ServerB becomes the principal and one has to execute the backup script (using the same TSM nodename) on ServerB. If I understand you correctly, one has to use external tools to determine which server (ServerA of ServerB) is the current Principal? Thanks again!!!

However, you will need to be careful because both servers will have common databases (like master and msdb)... and you do not want those backups for different servers to get mixed in with each other. You could have a separate line in the backup script on both machines that backs up the mirrored database on both servers (and point to a similar DSM.OPT file) knowing that the backup on the Mirror machine will fail. You can also look into Proxy Node. It allows one node to store data on behalf of another node if the correct permissions are granted from the TSM Server side. There are probably a number of other ways to get your desired result. Thanks, Del ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU wrote on 11/14/2007 04:49:03 AM: Hi Del!

Re: DP for SQL Server mirroring
Hi Del! I think our SQL guys will go for the second solution. We use a third-party scheduling tool (Control-M) and failing backups will create a problem report.

Re: Ramifications of delete vol xxxxxx discardd=y
Well... Only if the tape contains data from a BA client. If the tape contains TOP data, you will have to reschedule a full database backup for that client. If you have a read-only tape you should check the tape by moving it's data to a new tape, using the MOVE DATA command. If it fails, you can try a restore of the volume from your copypool. If that fails too (because the volume contains files which aren't backed up to your copypool because of read errors) you will have to do an AUDIT VOLUME PREVIEW=YES to see which files are damaged. A Q CONT damaged=yes will show you the damaged files. If the damaged files are all BA client files, you can fix the tape by running an AUDIT VOLUME again without the preview, followed by again a MOVE DATA to empty it.

If I delete a volume to get it back from a read-only access state into the scratch pool, will the next incremental backup for the node data affected back up those files again? Does the database know that there are no longer references for that node data on primary storage? If not, what is the alternative than 'delete vol', restoring the vol from copy stgpool? The data will be backed up once again by TSM. If you do a delete volume on the primary, the references to the copy data will also be deleted, and a backup stg will pick that up as well. hth, bob ** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.

Re: Determining What tapes files are on
Well, not using documented commands that is... If you issue the following SQL statement to retrieve the file's object id: select * from backups where node_name='your nodename' and filespace_name='\\your nodename\driveletter$' and hl_name='\directory path\' and ll_name='filename' you can use the command: Show bfo 0 object id to retrieve object id of the superbit if it's a sub bit object. If you know the superbit object ID a show bfo 0 superbit id shows you the tapes (both primary and copy pool) on which the file is stored.

Hi Pablo! You will have to kill the TSM server and start it in the foreground (dsmserv). Then you will be able to reset your password by issuing the upd admin command.

Hi Nick! The error occurred on several files on multiple filesystems. The audits didn't fix the problem since they seemed to crash somewhere. The audit process started, but there was never a process completed message and a q proc, a few seconds after the started, showed no running processes... Today I stopped TSM and started it again and all volumes showed a utilization of 0.0%, like expected. I was able to run an audit on the volumes, but they were all empty to TSM. Let's see how TSM behaves during the next migration. Thanks!

Re: Survey Question for Virtual Tape Users: What Vendors are you using for Virtual Tape?
My 2 cents: There is on big advantage for using a VTL over a disk subsystem: compression. We are also using a EMC DL700 which uses in-the-box LTO compatible compression. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger Deschner Sent: donderdag 7 december 2006 9:35 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Survey Question for Virtual Tape Users: What Vendors are you using for Virtual Tape? I keep hearing it said, that if you're going to buy a great big disk array for TSM, that it works better if you let TSM know it has disks (DEVCLASS=FILE), than if you lie and try to tell it they are virtual tapes. Cheaper too, because you don't have that VTL layer in there. Simpler to administer because it's all done in TSM. Easier to grow later because you're not locked into a single vendor or technology - all the disk box needs to do is support Unix filesystems under your OS. All that lying just adds overhead. We are dividing our workload, between large clients and small clients. Basically, we're dividing them between those who could use collocation on real tape effectively, and those who cannot. The small clients are going to move to an all-disk solution. You could call it virtual tape, except that TSM knows it's disks. Small clients are the situation where backup to disk is effective, because collocation is impractical so in a restore you're mostly waiting for the robot to dance around in his cage mounting and unmounting tapes. This is a huge waste of the robot's time, your time, and most importantly the client's time. SATA drives aren't fast, but they're fast enough to speed up small clients' large restores (e.g. an entire PC hard drive) by several orders of magnitude. The large clients are very much best on collocated real tape. I'd say the test is this: If you have a group of clients that are exploiting collocation correctly and effectively, without wasting too much tape, then that is exactly where they belong - on real tape. We found in a real disaster situation (big server had a large Unix filesystem get corrupted) that by setting RESOURCEUTILIZATION to get multiple restore streams going at once, that we restored that filespace many times faster than by any other possible backup/restore method, TSM or anything else. We also found that setting RESOURCEUTILIZATION high was much more efficient than any attempt to divide up the restore manually. Get several modern SDLT or LTO drives in a RTL (Real Tape Library) streaming data into a GigE pipe at once, and you're moving a lot of data very fast. Restore of large filespace(s) from disk simply cannot beat real tapes, with collocation, and the TSM RESOURCEUTILIZATION setting automating the process of creating multiple restore streams.

Dsmc output on AIX sometimes contains a crlf
Hi *SM-ers! On our AIX clients, the output from the dsmc i command is send to a logfile for further processing. Every now and then, the output from the backup of a file contains a crlf. Instead of: Normal File-- 87,042 /mount/appl00399/lido_apps/lido/etc/0008704600 [Sent] The output looks like this: Normal File-- 87,042 /mount/appl00399/lido_apps/lido/etc/0008704600 [Sent] This causes the output to be garbled.

Making TSM twin-center compliant
Hi *SM-ers! We are about to implement a second (fallback) IT center on another location. The idea is to create a hot standby environment for TSM. We are already using a separate copypool which will be moved to the new remote location, so if the primary pool gets lost, we have all data (up until the last backup stgpool of course) on the remote location. However, in case of a disaster, not only will we have to be able to recover clients (from this copypool), but we also need to continue backup here. This would be no problem if one could promote a TSM copypool to a primary pool. In this case one could just continue making (the forever incremental) backups, but TSM doesn't offer this function (yet). An UPDATE COPYPOOL POOLTYPE=PRIMARY would be very nice to have... The only thing I could think of is creating a standby library which can be connected in case of a disaster to host the new primary pool and start all over with backing up. A waste of money because it will probably (and hopefully) never be used.. How do other twin-centers solve this? Thank you very much for any hints and tips in advance!!!

Re: Making TSM twin-center compliant
Hi Allen! Thank you very much for your reaction! Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, you cannot backup to a copypool. Am I wrong here? I cannot wait for the restore storagepool to finish... This will take days and I will have to be able to make client backups immediately. If I was able to convert a copypool into a primary pool, I would be able to backup clients right away. Ok, I would loose my copypool, but in case of a disaster I can live with that for several days. In the meantime I can have my vendor bring in (rental) stuff to rebuild the copypool.

This would be no problem if one could promote a TSM copypool to a primary pool. In this case one could just continue making (the forever incremental) backups, but TSM doesn't offer this function (yet). Sure it does. In fact, you can do exactly as you describe; biggest impact will be that the copy stgpools are usually (very) poorly optimized for client restore. Think of it carefully: Two TSM servers: PRIM, and COPY; COPY is housing the offsites. You lose PRIM, but, since you're good at these things you have the database backed up offsite. You restore the PRIM database on hardware at the remote site. Immediately at that point, you have access to the data in the copy pools, and more importantly, you have the -database- that tells you what you have and don't have. The next incremental will only copy the data you didn't have as of the database backup which you used to do the restore. So, between the time you get PRIM restored at the remote site, and the time when the first of your clients have gotten their acts together, you can be RESTORE STGpool ing as fast as your little tape drives can scurry; as you make progress there (according to your previously determined list of priorities...) your replacement PRIM becomes better and better suited to serve the client restores. From another perspective: Why promote a copystgpool to PRIMARY status? You'll just need to re-organize the new PRIMARY pool and then make a copy pool. Less work to take the well-organized (for a copy stgpool) existing copystgpool and make a new PRIMARY. - Allen S. Rout - There is no copy, there is no primary.

Re: SQL Server 2005 support?
Hi Del! Your statement Customer always have the option of not installing a fix release, and waiting for the next PTF or release of that Data Protection client may be true in most cases, but not when new platform support is added. You don't have the option to wait for a new release because you cannot backup your production data in the meantime! We normally use the most recent maintenance levels for all TSM and DP clients. Only when customers encounter a bug which is fixed in a fix release, they will upgrade to that fix release, until the next maintenance release (containing the APAR) is there. The customer will replace their fix level with this new maintenance level a.s.a.p. I think most TSM customers work this way. Why didn't Tivoli add the Windows 2005 support and release this as maintenance release 5.3.0? That was a nice chance of synchronizing the level with other DP clients like DP for Exchange, DP for Lotus Domino and DP for mySAP...

Re: actlog errors since upgrade to 5.3.3

Performance tracing
Hi *SM-ers! One of my customers is complaining about the backup performance of the daily DP for SQL Server. The tdpsql.log shows that performance is 15 Mb/sec. which looks very fine to me for a host which is connected to a 100 MB LAN, but the customer showed me the TDP log from December last year which shows a daily throughput of 25 Mb/sec and more!!! My only guess is that this was caused by compression (how else can you get more than 10 Mb/sec through such a connection) but I would like to see what the client is doing. I was thinking about starting a client trace (at the DP level or at the API level?) to find this answer. What tracing parameters should I specify to see the time it takes for the client to get the data, compress it and send it over the network? I do not want to much detail, since the backup runs during the night for several hours, so a too detailed trace will grow very large... Thank you very much for any hints or tips in advance!

Re: Random Access Disk Pools
Hi Rod! TSM stores backups as aggregates. An aggregate can contain multiple client backup files. The client files within an aggregate will expire over time and thus occupy space within the aggregate. When you use a file device class or a tape, you can reclaim the wasted space these expired files occupy within the aggregates by moving unexpired files to new aggregates. This is done through reclamation. Since reclamation is only available for sequential acces storage pools, you cannot reclaim diskpools and thus the wasted space within an aggregate will only be reusable when all the files in an aggregate are expired and the aggregate is deleted.

Really I'm trying to understand, if I have a primary disk pool that does not migrate, it will be the final onsite resting place of data. As data expires and fragmentation occurs. That space is unusable if I'm not migrating to another primary area? Eventually I'll have to allocate more? Below is what comparison doc showed as consideration of fragmentation for random access pools. Guess I'm not sure what the diff is between tsm level and aggregate level. TSM level - fragmentation will occur as TSM allocates and frees space within the Storage Pool.

Re: Prognosis for APAR IC45931
Hi Thomas! APAR IC47731 was fixed in patch level 5.3.2.3 and IC45931 was fixed in 5.3.2.1. The most recent patch level is 5.3.2.4 and your version can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/ser ver/Linux/5.3.2.4/s390x/ IBM just released a new client maintenance level and this probably means we have to wait a few months before a server maintenance release will be made available.

Yes, they did add the database to the Recovery Storage Group before performing the restore and they did select the this database can be overwritten by a restore option.

Re: TSM 5.3 web gui
Hi! I totally agree with Richard. I myself was participating in the TSM 5.3 beta program. During this beta a lot (and I really mean a lot) of the people in the beta forum where complaining about ISC and the ISC concept. It wasn't even working in the beginning, it required a powerful server with at least 2 Gb. of memory and those who managed to make it work, complained about the interface and the very slow response. One would think if that if an interface design project team sees the end result of their work, they would take a few steps back, think and say to each other: Hey, we should drop the idea and not release this to the public. But they didn't. They even ignored all the bad feedback they received from the beta community! I see similar interface design for other IBM products (like the SAN Volume Controller) which is far from intuitive. I wonder if IBM even asks customers to evaluate new interfaces. I doubt it... Kindest regards, Eric van Loon Straying from such basic objectives, and becoming distracted by architecture, results in designs which satisfy only designers...who must think that there's something wrong with the end users if they don't appreciate how wonderful the design is. ** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
