8.1.13.0 storage rules buggy

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi everybody,

I have recently upgraded my servers to 8.1.13.0 so that I could replace the 
(bad performing) protect stgpool and replicate nodes with the new storage rule 
replication. I found it to be very buggy. I ran into several very weird issues:

1) When a replication is canceled on the source server, the inbound 
replication process on the target server isn't ending, which doesn't allow one 
to start a new replication. Every new replication results in the error: 
"ANR3875E START STGRULE: A previous replication storage rule is processing on 
QVIP6, wait the process to complete". The only way out of this state is 
bouncing one of the servers.

2) Replication sometimes hangs without doing anything. A cancel replication 
results in the above.

3) I also have been called twice with complaints from customers that their 
backups were not running. The server showed a huge amount of sessions in the 
starting state and the admin console showed very little updates. As soon as I 
canceled the running replication, all sessions started to work again and all 
client backups continued!

4) Storage rule tiering hangs too after running for a while, canceling the 
running tiering process is not working either.
Is anybody else experiencing these issues too? I have a case open for issue 1 
and 4, but I can't believe I'm the only one with these issues...

Re: Compare protect stgpool performance

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Ku,

That's weird, because as far as I know, the protect stgpool process doesn't 
work on the data level, but on the extend level. So it should not matter what 
kind of data is in those extends... Maybe someone from IBM can reflect on this?

Hello Eric,
correct - we are using an Enterprise Tapelib with LTO6 Drives.
Strangely - comparing to other TSM Servers (we are using several TSM Servers 
for different
Environments) TSM for Oracle is the slowest.
We diddn't found out the reason behind this.
Even move from a Power8 to Power9 Server didn't reduced the CPU Load on TSM 
Oracle as expected.
We are currently glad to manage the "TSM Wheel of life" in time (means in one 
day!).

Cheers,
ku

Re: Compare protect stgpool performance

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Hans Dieter,

Your performance figures are equally low as mine: 255 - 400 GB/h. This confirms 
that the protect stgpool definitely has a performance issue by design. 
If I read your figures correctly, your protect stgpool is to a local (tape) 
copy storage pool, right?

Re: Compare protect stgpool performance

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi everybody,

Some time ago I asked the people on this list for their performance figures for 
the protect stgpool (see my mail down below). I received two reactions, both 
indicated that their protect stgpool is also below 1 TB/h. I'm trying to find 
out if this is related to the protect stgpool process itself, or if there is 
another issue here. My first tests show that skipping the protect stgpool 
altogether and just running a replicate node preforms much better, in fact 
sometimes 6 times faster!
I already have a case open at IBM for this, but it seems to get stuck on the 
discussion about hardware performance issues, so I'm trying to generate some 
more proof now on a test environment.
I'm running 6 servers with directory containers, most of them have a daily 
ingest of 10 to 20 TB, so it's currently impossible to run a protect stgpool to 
completion... Has anybody tried skipping the protect stgpool too, just to see 
how the node replication performs?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Re: Finding the right server when using replication (Windows)

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Stefan,

Thank you very much for your reply!
I discovered that looking for a "Configured for failover to server 
" from a q session doesn't work either. When you create a new 
client, the q session will always show "Not configured for failover". Only 
after the first replication, this changes to "Configured for failover to server 
". So this made it a lot more difficult. I decided to create a 
read-only admin account and advised the Windows guys to use the admin client to 
determine on which server a client exists in repl_mode=send. In fact you can 
use the admin client without the need to install it locally, by using the 
dsmadmc.exe, along with 3 other files.
It's not the most elegant solution, but at least it works. Personally I think 
IBM should build something into the client itself to find the right server to 
back up to.

Hi Eric, I am by no means a programmer but I have done some work with 
powershell. I would while loop thru the servers and use something like 
transcribe (powershell command) to capture and log the output of the dsmc 
command to a temp file on disk after each dsmc attempt and then use 
select-string (
https://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2011/03/powershell-search-for-string-or-grep-for-powershell/)
to search for the string you want to check on, and start the correct function 
based on the outcome. I'm 100% sure it can be done without these writes and 
reads but for these kinds of things I figure it won't make that much of a 
difference.

Finding the right server when using replication (Windows)

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi everybody,

We recently switched to a new server design based on node replication. My 
Windows users always used scripts which went through all TSM/SP servers to find 
the right one by just trying to connect to them, one by one. As soon as the 
dsmc q sess command returned return code 0, it found the right server. This 
always worked, until we switched to node replication. Now all of a sudden, 
there are two servers which return rc=0, but only one of them can be used for 
backups, the primary replication server.
I have been struggling to find a way how to determine which server is the 
primary and which is the replica server. I noted that if you connect to the 
correct server, the last line of the query session output is "Configured for 
failover to server ". If you connect to the replica, the last line 
is "Not configured for failover".
Now I need to find a way (preferably though PowerShell) to read this last line 
and generate a rc=0 if it contains "Configured for failover to server" and a 
higher return code if it contains "Not configured for failover". Has anybody 
with Windows scripting knowledge has any idea how to do this?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Removing a node while replication is running

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi guys,

Removing an obsolete SP node is an automated process in our company. We 
recently started to use node replication and I now found that our automation 
scripts fail every now and then. Apparently you cannot remove a node when 
replication is running. The required remove replnode results in the following 
error:

ANR2720E REMOVE REPLNODE: Node NODENAME is currently being replicated.
ANR1632E REMOVE REPLNODE: Command failed. Replication state information for the 
specified nodes could not be removed.
ANS8001I Return code 12.

This is not very handy, is it. We now have to make our scripts a lot more 
complex, we have to check if a node replication is running and if so, build in 
a sleep routine...
How do you guys handle this? Thanks for any tips!

move container performance

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi everybody,

I need to move a lot of containers to empty a filesystem. The LUN used by this 
filesystem will be moved to a new SP server afterwards.
The issue is that the move container process is soo slooow... At the 
current rate it will take me weeks to empty one single filesystem (13.42 TB). 
Running multiple move containers in parallel doesn't seem to help, they all 
just run longer.
Has anybody struggled with this too and maybe found a solution? Thanks for any 
help!

Data Protection for Lotus Domino

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi everybody (and IBM in particular),

I noticed TSM 7.1 will be end of support by the end of this year. We are also 
running several Data Protection for Lotus Domino 7.1 clients, but no 8.1 
version seems to be available. Is this product end-of-life or will a Domino 
client be available later this year?
Thanks for any reply in advance!

Subject: Re: SQL statement for multiple classes

Hi Eric,

I was actually trying to something similar with different data and tables a few 
weeks ago. With the help of a co-worker, we figured it out.  It has to be a 2 
step process.  First you get a list of all the values you want as the column 
headings, in your case, the class name:
select distinct class_name from backups.

Then using that list, you use the class_name in each of the CASE statement
below:
SELECT node_name, -
COUNT ( CASE WHEN class_name = 'CLASS1' THEN class_name END ) AS 
CLASS1_COUNT, -
COUNT ( CASE WHEN class_name = 'CLASS2' THEN class_name END ) AS 
CLASS2_COUNT  - FROM backups - GROUP BY node_name

I put it on multiple lines for readability, you can put it in a single line if 
you remove the "-".  You can as many "COUNT(CASE..." as you have classes you 
want to report on.


Thanks,
Marc...

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [ADSM-L] SQL statement for multiple classes

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to figure out how to create a SQL query to retrieve the amount of 
files, per management class, per node in just one query. The ideal output would 
be:

Nodename  Class1   Class2   Class3
Mynode1 1234 475859 3645895
Mynode2 12345   274368746  8948382348

If you select a count(*) from archives where class_name='CLASS1' you will only 
get the amount stored for Class1, so I will have to be able to combine multiple 
select count(*) from archives where statements in one single query.
Thank you very much for your help!

Nodename1   Class1  11231231
Nodename1   Class2  31223

Hi Eric,

You can part of the way there with GROUP BY:

SELECT node_name,class_name,COUNT(*) FROM archives GROUP BY node_name,class_name

This will give you one row per (node_name,class_name) tuple. In order to get 
row values as columns, though, you need to do a pivot (aka crosstab), which I'm 
not sure is possible in through the DB2 interface in dsmadmc.
If you run the query w/ "-dataonly=yes -tab" you can import into a spreadsheet 
easily and do the pivot there, though.

Hope that helps!

I was working on something today and came across some info about IMPORT and 
remembered this thread.

When importing, there is a DATE option and it has 2 possible values, ABSOLUTE 
and RELATIVE.  Use absolute to keep the backup/archive date and it will expire 
as expected.  Use relative to reset the backup/archive date to today.

Dates
 Specifies whether the dates for the file copies are set as the same date 
when the files were exported, or is adjusted to the import date.
 This parameter supports the following values:

 Absolute
  The dates for file copies are set to the values specified when the 
files were exported.

 Relative
  The dates for file copies are adjusted to the import date.

The default value is ABSOLUTE.

It's been a long while since I exported/imported data to remember exactly how 
it behaves but just to give another point of view, imagine that you exported 
data to a tape and it's sitting there in a rack way past its original 
expiration date.

Once it's exported it's no longer bound to a management class in a server with 
expiration running everyday. It's like an external entity now, just a bunch of 
importable data on a tape.

Now, right after you decide and import it back to a server it would be a weird 
behavior if the next expiration removed it right away, just because its 
original archive_date/expiration was from years ago, in a server that you no 
longer care (thus you exported the data in a more neutral format)...
even though it still remembers its original class name.

Bonjour Eric,


One thing that might help:


On the old server:

- use COPY DOMAIN to copy the existing domain to a new domain

- use UPDATE NODE to switch the node to be in the new domain

- use EXPORT POLICY to export the new domain to the new server


On the new server, update the archive copy groups in the new domain to

point to the file pool.


This will ensure that the new server has all the right retentions for this

node, then from the old server, export the node.


And I'm like Uwe, I don't think an export should change the ARCHVE_DATE in

the ACHIVES table.  It's certainly not mentioned in the help.

Marc...

if the management class which was used at the source server is not defined

To keep the retention it is required to define the management classes on

While working on a support case with IBM on a totally unrelated issue, at the 
time my SP servers were at 8.1.9.300. 
The resolution was documented as either applying an efix or upgrade my server 
version to 8.1.10.0 at which point the support team strongly recommended that I 
instead go to version 8.1.10.100 because there were some serious problems with 
replication performance in version 8.1.10.0.

I am still at 8.1.10.100 and closely monitoring all apars addressed in new 
releases.
You may want to review and apply the .100 update to see if it helps.

Hi everybody,

We are running 6 SP servers which are designed according to the Blueprints

according to specs. The only thing I find rather disapointing is the PROTECT

link bandwidth between the two servers...
Has anybody seen this too or any tips on how to improve the PROTECT STGPOOL

Hi everybody,

We are running 6 SP servers which are designed according to the Blueprints 
(Large server). All tests show that the storage and network performance is 
according to specs. The only thing I find rather disapointing is the PROTECT 
STGPOOL performance. I measure about 600 to 800 GB/hour, while I have 4 x 10GB 
link bandwidth between the two servers...
Has anybody seen this too or any tips on how to improve the PROTECT STGPOOL 
performance?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Client configuration scripts

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi everybody,

We are running multiple servers. Both our Windows and Linux departments use 
their own scripts to configure new (or reinstalled) clients. The script tries 
to connect to each TSM/SP server sequentially and if a connection is 
successful, the client is configured for that specific server. This has always 
been working fine, until we added two servers with client replication. In this 
case, a client node exists on two servers, but only one of them is valid: the 
one with the node in replmode=send. Technically a client can connect to both 
the primary server and the replica server, so the first one in line is used by 
the script, which might be the wrong one (replica).
Has anybody found a solutions to overcome something like this? I thought of 
using a SQL query through the admin client, but that means that the admin 
client has to be installed on all clients and an admin userid/password has to 
be included in the scripts. Not the safest solution, I think.
Thanks for any reply in advance!

Re: Moving long term archives to new server

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Uwe,

No, they are not. Both the policy domain names and the management class names 
have changed...
I don't think the convert changes the retention, I think they are reset during 
the export from the old to the new server. The new server seems to treat them 
as new archives and thus the counter starts at 0.

Hi all,

I need to move long term archives (10 years+) from an old server (6.3 with 
virtual tapes) to a new server (8.1.11 with directory containers). The only way 
to do this is by exporting the data to a temporary filepool and convert this to 
the containerpool afterwards. The problem is that this resets the archive 
retention. So an archive file created 5 years ago with a retention of 10 years, 
will again be stored for 10 years on the new server. Has anybody found a better 
way to move such data to a new server with a container pool?
Thanks in advance for any help!

TDP for SAP (Oracle) backup

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi guys,

I'm having a real issue on one of our SAP servers. We upgraded the TDP for SAP 
(Oracle) client from 7.1.3 to 8.1.11 along with the API client (from 7.1.8 to 
8.1.11). Now when we start a full backup, it fails with the following error in 
the log:

RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on sbt_1 channel at 12/17/2020 16:58:37
ORA-19506: failed to create sequential file, name="P11_bffjgyso.142533_1", 
parms=""
ORA-27007: failed to open file
Additional information: 7012
Additional information: 962
ORA-19511: non RMAN, but media manager or vendor specific failure, error text:
   SBT error = 7012, errno = 0, sbtopen: internal error - invalid argument(s)
channel sbt_1 disabled, job failed on it will be run on another channel
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on sbt_2 channel at 12/17/2020 16:58:37
ORA-19506: failed to create sequential file, name="P11_bffjgyso.142534_1", 
parms=""
ORA-27007: failed to open file
Additional information: 7012
Additional information: 962

I opened a PMR at IBM and they asked me to enable tracing for both the API and 
the TDP client, but both trace files are not created during a backup attempt, 
so my guess is that the error occurs before the TDP client is even used.
I tried everything, like reinstalling the 7.1.3 TDP client, switching back to 
the old server, nothing helps and the SAP people are getting nervous because of 
their archivelog space. Does anybody have any idea what else I can try?
Thanks for any help in advance.

TDP for SQL Server password file

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi guys,

We have some SQL Server clients which have the wrong password stored through 
the GUI. The only problem is that the GUI only allows you to update the 
password when you know the old password. So I need to know where the TDP for 
SQL Server client stores his password, so I can delete this file. Who can help 
me out here? Thanks in advance!

Re: Server script condition checking

I just discovered I was testing my script on a different server than the server

Thanks for your help!

Bonjour Eric,

I don't know if this will work, but it's worth a shot.

In the query, can you try using the following: " ... upper(%1) ..."

And when run the script, put the node name between single quotes:
run script 'NODE'

Hi guys,
I'm trying to create a script to switch node replication. I created the

select * from nodegroup where node_name like upper('%$1%') if (rc_ok) goto end

The problem is that a SQL query doesn't seem to be supported in a script; it's 
just not executed. Even when I change the syntax of the query to be incorrect, 
no error is written to the activity log.
Has anyone have another suggestion how to do this? I want the def nodegroupm

Re: Amount of stored data with node replication

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Lynn,

That is indeed what we are going to do. However, we cannot use the schedule 
association because we do not use the SP scheduler. We use a third party 
scheduler which is used for all other non-backup related scheduling too. 
However, Marc Lanteigne came up with the perfect solution. Thanks Marc!

Subject: Re: Amount of stored data with node replication

Do you mean to say that you are replicating nodes both directions on the same 
storage pool? Which from something I recently saw sounds like it might now be 
possible.

Server1, Pool1, Node1 is backed up on Server1 and replicated to Server2.

Server2, Pool1, Node2 is backed up on Server2 and replicated to Server1.

If that is the case the simple way would be to define which nodes are 
associated with schedules on each server. And, sum their MB.  Try these.
The first is simply a report of each node and its Occupancy so you can check to 
see if it is collecting the nodes you want. The second sums the MB from the 
Auditocc table.

select AO1.NODE_NAME, AO1.BACKUP_MB from Auditocc AO1 left join
associations AS1 on AO1.node_name=AS1.node_name where   AS1.Schedule_Name
is NOT null

select SUM(AO1.BACKUP_MB) from Auditocc AO1 left join associations AS1 on
AO1.node_name=AS1.node_name where   AS1.Schedule_Name is NOT null

Amount of stored data with node replication

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi guys,

In our company the creation of TSM nodes is automated via a portal. The script 
first checks all TSM servers and uses the TSM server database size to select 
one of the available servers; the one with the lowest DB size is selected.
We are now implementing new SP servers and we are switching to node 
replication. I like to use a different criterion to select which server is used 
as backup target, the one with the lowest amount of data stored should be used. 
However, the number of MB stored returned by a "select sum(REPORTING_MB) MB 
from occupancy" is the same on both servers because of the node replication. 
How can I retrieve the amount of data stored, without the replicated data?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Re: Replication Hung after upgrade to v8.1.10

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Sarav,

You stated " There is also one more issue on v8.1.10 where server will crash 
abruptly if you use directory container. It appears to be known issue and we 
have got efix to address it". I find this very alarming, because I'm about to 
start production on a new server running this level. Do you have an APAR number?

Thanks Erwann for the update. 

We are still facing intermittent hang and no progress on our case. If it’s one 
server then we could say it’s environment issue but 3 different pair and all 
are in different countries as well. We are holding upgrade for rest of 
countries until find out root cause. 

There is also one more issue on v8.1.10 where server will crash abruptly if you 
use directory container. It appears to be known issue and we have got efix to 
address it. 

I will keep you posted if I hear any updates on my case.

Re: Old clients cannot connect to 8.1.10 server

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Erwan,

The ANS1357S error is always very confusing. In most cases where I got this 
error it was certificate related. Try and update one of the nodes with 
sessionsecurity=transitional and see if the error is gone.

Subject: Old clients cannot connect to 8.1.10 server

Hi all,

I've just upgraded dome servers from 8.1.8.200 to 8.1.10 and it helped a lot by 
solving some issues.

Anyway, some old B/A Clients cannot connect anymore : they were backing up just 
fine to a 8.1.8 server but they cannot connect to a 8.1.10 one.

For instance :
root@:/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin# LANG=C dsmc q se IBM Tivoli Storage 
Manager Command Line Backup-Archive Client Interface
  Client Version 6, Release 2, Level 5.0
  Client date/time: 08/20/20   16:08:18
(c) Copyright by IBM Corporation and other(s) 1990, 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Node Name: 
ANS1357S Session rejected: Downlevel client code version

and activity log says :
ANR0428W Session 213732 for node (Linux86) refused - client is down-level 
with this server version. (SESSION: 213732)

I've this same issue with a couple of old clients using various old versions 
depending of the OS version (Old Win2K or Linux distros...).

Do someone encounter the same issue ? What is the minimum working level right 
now ?

Thanks.

Filtering last access date with node replication

Hi all,

We always created exception reports which lists all nodes with a last access 
date of -2 or more which we send to the client owners. We are now switching to 
new SP servers and we will start using node replication. With replication, a 
node is created on the replication target server after the first replication. 
This node however will always have a last access date more > 2 days, which will 
'pollute' my reports. Has anybody found an easy way to filter out these nodes 
from their reports?

Tighten client authorization

Hi all,

I read more and more about ransomware which is capable of encrypting data and 
at the same time deleting backup data. That's why I would like to set 
BACKDEL=NO on all nodes, wherever possible. I know the Data Protection for SQL 
client requires BACKDEL=YES to function properly, but are there any other Data 
Protection clients which require this parameter to be set to YES? We are using 
DP for SQL, Oracle, Lotus Notes and SAP (which uses ARCHDEL=YES).
Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi Stefan,

I have also talked about this feature with a server architect from IBM during

Hi Rick,

Have a look at the latest IBM Spectrum Protect Blueprints and the IBM Spectrum 
Protect Plus Blueprints. They are based on (of course) IBM hardware (v5100 
series) but the performance is good and you have the ability to benchmark your

What storage solution is at the top of your list for Spectrum Protect and 
Spectrum Protect Plus?

I am a former a Data Domain abuser who (regretfully) moved to EMC Isilon and 
now looking for the best possible replacement.
Usable storage requirement of somewhere in the neighborhood of 500+ tb.

Operation protects roughly 2,100 clients. About 75% VMware VMs and SQL with a 
scattering of AIX hosting DB2 & Oracle.

Currently primarily protected using Spectrum Protect servers using BA, TDP, and 
SP4VE but looking to migrate all possible operations to Spectrum Protect Plus.

At this time the plan would be to retain only the most recent (active) data at 
our production facility on high performing storage to provide quick recovery 
then using replicate inactive data to our DR facility to be offloaded to 
Spectrum Protect servers and/or cloud.

All feedback and advice welcome. Thanks !

Hi Eric,

"Power On VM after Recovery" is the option to use. 

"Recovery" is complete once the VM is registered in vCenter and mounted from 
the (vSnap) backup repository. This is almost immediate. No bits need to move.

This setting will power on the VM immediately after mounting and prior to the 
vMotion.

Re: Spectrum Protect Plus IA restore

Hi Del,

It doesn't seem to work. During the restore the option to start the VM is 
grayed-out in vCenter. SPP shows another option in the restore job settings 
(Power on after recovery), but that is not what I want, I want the VM powered 
on during the restore.
I will open a case for this. Thanks for your help!

Hi Eric,

By default, a "Production mode" restore does a streaming restore.

If you change the job option and uncheck "Enable streaming (VADP) restore" 
it will be a vMotion based recovery instead. (First, toggle the option to view 
'Advanced Setup' and change it)

This means it will instantly mount the VM from the vSnap repository and then do 
a vMotion back to the data store.


FYI, you could achieve the same result using 'Test' mode as well. After 
Test restore, the user gets two options. You could #1 'Cleanup' and it 
will remove the VM and the related mount point. Or you could #2 Move to 
Production, and it will use the 'Production' mode settings and perform a 
vMotion. The idea of the test restore is for the users to first test the 
VM and ensure you have everything you need before you decide to move it to 
production. 

I hope this helps.

Re: Spectrum Protect Plus IA restore

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Del,

Let me clarify what I'm looking for. We want to restore a full VM and we want 
access to the VM while it's being restored.
Until now I discovered the following limitations:
1) A Production restore restores the whole VM but only allows the VM to be 
booted after the restore has finished.
2) When you select one or multiple disks to be restored, a VM can be booted 
while the disks are being restored.
The problem with option 2 is that it's far more work. One has to create 
separate restore jobs for each disk because when you select all disks in one 
go, the order of the disks get mixed up and the VM can't boot.
Thanks again for your help!

Hi Eric,

OK, I misunderstood when you said "IA" ... when I saw Instant Access, I 
typically think of a "Test mode" restore operation. But, I think you are 
referring to "Production mode" restore ( 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSNQFQ_10.1.5/spp/t_spp_creating_vmware_restore_job.html
).

If you want the original VM restored, in production, then choose "Production 
mode" as the restore type and choose the Original Host or Cluster as the 
destination. Production mode will retain the original unique identifiers. Clone 
mode and Test mode creates new identifiers.

Also, based on the original description, it appears you may be selecting 
individual disks to restore an entire VM. You have to select the VM itself 
instead of the disks to do a Full VM "Production mode" restore.

Re: ANR1942W

Hi Michael,

If this is normal behavior, it shouldn't issue a warning message, do you agree?
For IBM: The whole process of configuring and using a server with node 
replication is very poorly documented to my opinion. For instance, the 
procedure to remove a node is drastically different for a replicated node and 
you pretty much have to find that out yourself...

Hello Eric,

the explanation to ANR1942W states that this is desired as normal behaviour, if 
the CLOPTSET was already existing on the replication target.
There has been IT18951 stating the opposite for enterprise administration I 
also observe this on servers who started replication between each other after 
some time of operation. Some settings collide during the replication.

I forgot that GROUP BY depended on having an entry in the result table.
Unfortunately I don't have a TSM server with a reasonably-sized backups table 
to test on (production ones are 1+ billion entries), so I'm kind of in thought 
experiment territory right now, but what if you did an outer join from the

replace the count for nodes without an entry in the sub-query with 0 with CASE:

Hi Skylar,

Sorry, but this one doesn't work either, it returns the same results as all 
others. I don't think the NULL result is the issue here, it seems to be the way 
the results are returned as soon as you select multiple columns. In the 
following example ,when I select just one, the result is 0:

select count(*) from backups where node_name='RAC_098-ORC' and 
days(current_date) - days(backup_date) >= 3000

  Unnamed[1]

   0

But as soon as you select multiple columns, the result is not 0, but "no match 
found":

select node_name, count(*) from backups where node_name='RAC_098-ORC' and 
days(current_date) - days(backup_date) >= 3000 group by node_name
ANR2034E SELECT: No match found using this criteria.
ANS8001I Return code 11.

Thanks again for your help!

Ah, I think the problem is that comparing anything with NULL will be NULL 
(except comparing NULL with NULL, which is true). Try this:

select b.node_name, count(*)
from backups a
right join nodes b on a.node_name=b.node_name and b.node_name like '%-ORC'
where
(a.backup_date is null or ((days(current_date) - days(a.backup_date) >= 
30)))
and (a.state is null or a.state='ACTIVE_VERSION') group by b.node_name

Note that I also changed the "group by" and projection to use node_name from 
the nodes table since that's guaranteed to be set, rather than backups which 
would only be set for nodes with entries in the backups table.

Re: Error in OC for device class

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi everybody,

I would like to share the results of the case I opened for the device class 
error condition when it's not used by storage pools. I will explain the way it 
works by using the following abbreviations:

FS=Free space on the filesystem(s) used by the deviceclass
ML=Mount limit of the deviceclass
MC=Max Capacity of the deviceclass
NSA=Number of Scratch volumes Allocatable
PU=Percentage of Unallocatable scratches

NSA=FS/MC
PU=(ML-NSA)/ML

This percentage should ideally be 0. higher than 25% will trigger a warning, 
higher than 50 will trigger a critical.
The thresholds can be displayed with q statusthresh 
DEF_FILEDEVCLASSPCTSCRUNALLOCATABLE_W and q statusthresh 
DEF_FILEDEVCLASSPCTSCRUNALLOCATABLE_E, the defaults are 25 for warning and 50 
for error.

The dirty fix for a warning or critical is to change the thresholds, but for 
small deviceclasses you want to make sure your ML is not too high and your MC 
is not too large, so everything will fit.

Subject: RE: Error in OC for device class

Hi Erwann,

Yes, that's indeed what I discovered too. When I issue the command q 
monitorstatus status=error, the error status trigger which SPOC uses is 
displayed. In my case:

Server Name  Activity DateActivity NameElement Name Element 
 Element String   Element State
Numeric 
ValueValue
---  ---  ---  ---  
---  ---  ---
AMSE326-03-2020   NON-SHARED   DBBACKUP 50  
  ERROR

   PERCENTAGE
   SCRATCH
   VOLUMES
   UNALLOCATABLE

The Element Numeric Value indeed changes when I raise or lower the deviceclass 
mount limit or maxcap. However, I cannot find how it is being calculated.

My deviceclass currently uses:

 Device Class Name: DBBACKUP
Device Access Strategy: Sequential
Storage Pool Count: 0
   Device Type: FILE
Format: DRIVE
 Est/Max Capacity (MB): 204,800.0
   Mount Limit: 8

The directory it uses has 997G of free space available: 

df -Ph|grep dbbackup
/dev/mapper/vgl_etsm01-lvl_dbbackup  1.2T  140G  997G  13% 
/tech/tsm/AMSE3/dbbackup

But 8 * 200GB is 1.6 TB. So why is the Element Numeric Value 50 at this moment?
I have a case open at this moment and I requested support to ask the developers 
how this value is being calculated. If I receive an answer, I will let you all 
know.
Thanks for your help!

Subject: Re: Error in OC for device class

Hi Eric,

When there is no Storage Pool associated with a FILE Device Class, the 
following parameters are considered to trigger a warning or error status :
- maxcapacity (device class parameter)
- mountlimit (device class parameter)
- available space (in the filesystem pointed by the directory device class 
parameter)
- DEF_FILEDEVCLASSPCTSCRUNALLOCATABLE_[W|E] (statusthresholds)

maxcapacity * mountlimit should not exceed the status thresholds.

I generally adjust the mountlimit parameter value to avoir crossing the 
threshold.

PS : I'm pretty there was a technote describing this in the past, but I've been 
unable to find it. Here's another one, describing a similar issue :

SQL query

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi guys,

It must be something very easy, but I can't seem find the solution myself... 
This is the query I use to list the total amount of Oracle backup files older 
than 30 days:

select count(*) as OBSOLETE_BACKUPS from backups a,nodes b where 
((days(current_date) - days(backup_date) >= 30)) and a.node_name like '%-ORC' 
and a.state='ACTIVE_VERSION' and a.node_name=b.node_name and b.contact like 
'%Oracle%'

I also use this statement to list the files per node:

select a.node_name, count(*) from backups a,nodes b where ((days(current_date) 
- days(backup_date) >= 30)) and a.node_name like '%-ORC' and 
a.state='ACTIVE_VERSION' and a.node_name=b.node_name and b.contact like 
'%Oracle%' group by a.node_name

The statement works fine, but it only shows the nodes with an amount of files > 
0. I'm looking for the same command which shows all %-ORC nodes. So when the 
amount is 0, it should display the node_name along with the value 0. I can't 
figure out how to accomplish it. :(
Thanks for any help in advance!

The report builder in SPOC used a date format of "Month DD, ". Has anybody

Re: Combining SQL queries

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi all,

Although Tom's SQL statement works very well, there seems to be something weird 
in the way the WHERE statement is handled. This is the output on a server with 
a directory container pool:

select * from (select cast(sum(used_db_space_mb/tot_file_system_mb*100) as 
decimal(3,1)) as "Database" from db) as database, (select pct_utilized as 
"Containerpool" from stgpools where stgpool_name like 'CONTAINER%') as stgpool

 Database  Containerpool
- --
  6.9   30.3

And now on a server without one:

select * from (select cast(sum(used_db_space_mb/tot_file_system_mb*100) as 
decimal(3,1)) as "Database" from db) as database, (select pct_utilized as 
"Containerpool" from stgpools where stgpool_name like 'CONTAINER%') as stgpool

ANR2034E SELECT: No match found using this criteria.
ANS8001I Return code 11.

So, it looks like the stgpool_name like 'CONTAINER%' statement is also applied 
to the first SQL statement. That's weird, right?

Combining SQL queries

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi guys,

I have two SQL queries:

select count(*) as "Number_Of_Failed" from events where 
scheduled_start>current_timestamp-24 hours and status='Failed'
select count(*) as "Number_Of_Missed" from events where 
scheduled_start>current_timestamp-24 hours and status='Missed'

Is it somehow possible to combine them into one single query? I know I can use 
and status='Failed' or status='Missed', but I would like to be able to see how 
many are missed and how many are failed separately. My aim is to see if I can 
use one single line (with multiple columns) to report this in SPOC.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Kind regards,

Re: Error in OC for device class

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Erwann,

Yes, that's indeed what I discovered too. When I issue the command q 
monitorstatus status=error, the error status trigger which SPOC uses is 
displayed. In my case:

Server Name  Activity DateActivity NameElement Name Element 
 Element String   Element State
Numeric 
ValueValue
---  ---  ---  ---  
---  ---  ---
AMSE326-03-2020   NON-SHARED   DBBACKUP 50  
  ERROR
  12:40:41 FILE DEV
   PERCENTAGE
   SCRATCH
   VOLUMES
   UNALLOCATABLE

The Element Numeric Value indeed changes when I raise or lower the deviceclass 
mount limit or maxcap. However, I cannot find how it is being calculated.

My deviceclass currently uses:

 Device Class Name: DBBACKUP
Device Access Strategy: Sequential
Storage Pool Count: 0
   Device Type: FILE
Format: DRIVE
 Est/Max Capacity (MB): 204,800.0
   Mount Limit: 8

The directory it uses has 997G of free space available: 

df -Ph|grep dbbackup
/dev/mapper/vgl_etsm01-lvl_dbbackup  1.2T  140G  997G  13% 
/tech/tsm/AMSE3/dbbackup

But 8 * 200GB is 1.6 TB. So why is the Element Numeric Value 50 at this moment?
I have a case open at this moment and I requested support to ask the developers 
how this value is being calculated. If I receive an answer, I will let you all 
know.
Thanks for your help!

Subject: Re: Error in OC for device class

Hi Eric,

When there is no Storage Pool associated with a FILE Device Class, the 
following parameters are considered to trigger a warning or error status :
- maxcapacity (device class parameter)
- mountlimit (device class parameter)
- available space (in the filesystem pointed by the directory device class 
parameter)
- DEF_FILEDEVCLASSPCTSCRUNALLOCATABLE_[W|E] (statusthresholds)

maxcapacity * mountlimit should not exceed the status thresholds.

I generally adjust the mountlimit parameter value to avoir crossing the 
threshold.

PS : I'm pretty there was a technote describing this in the past, but I've been 
unable to find it. Here's another one, describing a similar issue :

Objet: [ADSM-L] Error in OC for device class

Hi guys,

In Operation Center an critical error is shown for some of my servers with a 
device class without a storagepool. When I issue the command q monitorstatus 
status=error, the following error is listed:

Server Name  Activity DateActivity NameElement Name Element 
 Element String   Element State

This device class is used for database backup only and has no storagepool

Anybody know how to solve this error?

Re: Operations Center custom report column width

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi everybody,

Just for the record: I opened a case for the column width issue and it seems to 
be related to Outlook rather than SPOC. The report uses a html option called 
white-space: nowrap, which doesn't work in Outlook. Outlooks seems to use the 
Word html editor, which doesn’t recognize this option.
If you send the same report to Gmail for instance, the report looks just fine. 
So if your company uses Outlook, you have no other option than to replace all 
spaces with underscores. Not very pretty, but it works.

Hi Erwann,

Substr and cast do not seem to matter. The column width seems to be determined 
by the column header label (thanks Venu Bommasani!) . So the length of the AS 
statement seems to set the column width. And using spaces like in SELECT 
NODE_NAME AS "Client node name" seems to break it too, the only option that is 
sort of working is SELECT NODE_NAME AS "Client_node_name". Really ugly if you 
ask me. :-( I'm thinking about opening a case for this, because I don't think 
custom reports are easy readable this way.

Hi Eric,

Is there more than one node running at the same time on that client?  If so, 
you should use a different NRTABLEPATH for each node/stanza in dsm.sys so that 
there's no lock contention:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/resolving-ans2124w-messages-concerning-lock-node-replication-table




The other case is if running as a non-root user, you need to use a NRTABLEPATH

Hi Eric,

Is there more than one node running at the same time on that client?  If so, 
you should use a different NRTABLEPATH for each node/stanza in dsm.sys so that 
there's no lock contention:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/resolving-ans2124w-messages-concerning-lock-node-replication-table



The other case is if running as a non-root user, you need to use a NRTABLEPATH 
that the user has rights to read to:

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [ADSM-L] Backup error when using node replication (DP for 
SAP)

Hi guys,

I'm testing the new Data Protection 8.1.9 client on a new SP server which uses 
node replication. When the user starts a backup he receives the following 
errors:

02/12/2020 14:19:33 ANS4058I A write failure occurred while attempting to save 
node replication failover values to the options file.
02/12/2020 14:19:33 ANS0361I DIAG: cacheobj.cpp( 594): dbOpen():
error opening/creating lock file
'/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/tsmnrtable.DB.Lock' .

I cannot find any instructions which specify that you have to give the SAP user 
write access to the dsm.sys file. Is this a new requirement?
I found a post from Zoltan Forray on Backupcentral with the exact same errors, 
only for the Data Protection for Oracle client. The error seems to be gone as 
soon as you disable replication. Has anybody encountered the same issues? How 
should one solve these?
Thanks you very much for any help in advance!

Re: Backup error when using node replication (DP for SAP)

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Marc!

Thanks for pointing me to the right location!
The strange thing is that when we added the following parameter to the dsm.sys:

Nrtablepath /orahome/oraod1/tsm

The user still receives an error: ANS0361I DIAG: cacheobj.cpp( 594): 
dbOpen(): error opening/creating lock file 
'/orahome/oraod1/tsm/tsmnrtable.DB.Lock'

The directory is owned by the oraod1 user:

# cd /orahome/oraod1/tsm
# ls -ltr
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 oraod1 dba  4096 Feb 11 15:15 config

But during the first backup the files are created by root:

# ls -ltr
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 oraod1 dba  4096 Feb 11 15:15 config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root0 Feb 13 14:07 tsmnrtable.DB.Lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root 4216 Feb 13 14:07 tsmnrtable.DB

Because oraod1 can't update the file, it issues the error ANS0361I... Why is a 
backup that runs under the oraod1 user creating a file owned by root??
Thanks again for your help!

tdpoconf showenv no longer working after upgrade to 8.1.9.0

Hi guys,

We discovered that tdpoconf showenv is no longer working for the oracle user 
after the upgrade to DP for Oracle 8.1.9.0. It is working OK for root.
The cause of this issue is the fact that the random encryption key file TSM.sth 
is not accessible for the oracle user. I think this file is created by the 
tdpoconf password command, which has to be executed by root and thus the file 
is created with access for root only. This looks like a bug to me. Has anyone 
else ran into this issue?

Re: deletion performance of large deduplicated files

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Michael,

That is VERY good news! At that time IBM told me 'works as designed' but 
apparently it IS a defect.
Because we are still struggling with the performance of TSM 7.1 on our 
clustered solution, we just ordered new hardware to start all over again. Now 
we are going to use SP 8.1.9 and implement everything exactly according to the 
Blueprints, so standard Redhat, standard multipath software, node replication 
etc.
Thank you very much for sharing this information, I really appreciate it!

Hello Eric,

  to come back to this old thread.
I got a eFix (8.1.8.201) for IT31042, and it solved all my problems with 
deduplicated Oracle-DB backups. Speedup is x 400, expiration which didn't end 
within 3 days is now done within 1 hour. Should be incorporated in 8.1.9, but I 
got it backported for AIX to 8.1.8.200, maybe it is helpful for you if you ask 
for Linux. The size of the backup objects doesn't matter, my objects are in a 
range from 0.8 to 101 GB.

Hi Arnaud,

Well, not really. The installer just adds the dsmserv.rc script to the 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory. It doesn't create a systemd.service file.
Thanks for your reply!

Hi everybody,

I'm currently creating a new server setup based on the Blueprints. The SP

Re: ISP server as a VM

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Zoltan,

I don't know if it's supported by IBM, but I think it's all related to load. A 
VM will not provide the same I/O performance as dedicated hardware does. So if 
you are planning to install a server with inbound deduplication with container 
pools, I would stay away from virtualization.

We have an old hardware based ISP server that needs to be replace.  It is PCI 
network isolated and only backs up 6-PCI servers. We are thinking about 
recreating it as a VM since there aren't any hardware-based requirements (e.g. 
tape drives).

Anyone running an ISP server as a VM?  What are the gotcha's? Minimum VMware 
vCPU/vRAM requirements?

Or should we look at throwing up a SPP instance?

Re: TSM server performance continuing

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Stefan,

At the time the servers were installed Redhat 6.4 was our standard. The servers 
need to be upgraded to the latest 6.x release first before we can upgrade TSM 
to 8.1.x. But before making any changes to the environment while we have a case 
open at IBM, I need to be sure there is a clear reason to do so. If there is 
any indication that the issue is related to the OS level or the TSM level, I 
will plan an upgrade of course.
Another reason is that the server which is having the most issues is running a 
7.1 release prior to new security 'enhancements'. I would like to prevent extra 
issues caused by certificates until after we found and fixed the performance 
issues.
Today we have a meeting with IBM and all departments and managers to plan an 
onsite workshop on how we/IBM will tackle the issue. Finally...

Very strange issue indeed Eric, I have never heard of a specific client causing 
slowdowns, I would understand if it where a massive amount of oracle sessions 
starting but if it's really platform and not session count related it would 
have to be something that IBM needs to look into I guess.
May I ask, is there a specific reason you are running fairly old server code in 
the environment?

Re: TSM server performance continuing

Hi Stefan,

There is no noticable impact on the TSM performance when we use the tsmdiskperf 
tool on the database volumes.
We recently discovered the issue seems to be related to the TDP for Oracle 
clients. When none are running the server response is OK, even during a 
reasonable load. But as soon as the TDP for Oracle clients start kicking in, 
the server becomes slow. We brought it to the attention of the developers, but 
no response yet...

Eric,

What happens when you benchmark the DB volumes using the tool provided with the 
blueprints on an idle system, does the system also slow down with commands such 
as q stgpool or does it stay fast when the benchmark is running on all volumes?
Also, what kind of a result does the benchmark give you and what do you use for 
your database storage?

Hi guys,

A few weeks ago I already wrote about the severe performance issues we have 
with our TSM 7.1 servers. In the 'old days' we used to back up our clients to 
TSM 6.3 servers with Data Domains attached. Smaller clients backed up through 
the LAN, large ones through the SAN.

Hi Eric,

Any reason why your kernel.msgmni = 196608 from the /etc/sysyctl.conf differs 
from the max queues system wide = 516096 from a ipcs -l?
Just curious...

TSM server performance continuing

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi guys,

A few weeks ago I already wrote about the severe performance issues we have 
with our TSM 7.1 servers. In the 'old days' we used to back up our clients to 
TSM 6.3 servers with Data Domains attached. Smaller clients backed up through 
the LAN, large ones through the SAN.
Our newer servers use LAN-only with directory containers and the performance of 
these servers really sucks. Setting up a session takes sometimes almost one 
minute and a q stg also takes 30 to 50 seconds. I noticed that performance is 
OK when there are no TDP for Oracle sessions running, but as soon as they are 
started the performance starts to drop drastically.
We are really lost on where to look for the cause. I sent numerous logs and

Re: deletion performance of large deduplicated files

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Michael,

When you have large databases backing up, do you also experience long session 
initiation times? In my case it takes sometimes 30 to 50 seconds to get a 
prompt with a dsmadmc. Same for each client session.
We use TDP for SAP (Oracle database), TDP for SAP HANA and TDP for Oracle 
clients. Our default backup piece size is 900 MB, so much smaller than yours 
and even that's causing issues.

Hello Eric,

  that's exactly what I oberserved too. The moment I moved the big DB's away 
fom the server, the performance raised dramatically.
  Your SAP is on an Oracle-DB, and you are using TDP ERP with RMAN to backup up 
the database?

I ask because we are experimenting with some paramenters in RMAN to keep the 
backup objects small. Small as in 10GB compared to SIZEOF(TABLE), which might 
be up to 10TB. An object bigger that 10GB would be split into 10GB fragments by 
TSM already, according to MAXFRAGMENTSIZE, but this would do no good here, 
because the underlying client-object to be expired is still bigger and 
constitutes the reason for the slow expiration.
Because of this a lower number wouldn't do any good in the first run, I'm still 
thinking of lowering the parameters involved to smaller values, pending the 
results of the first complete expiration without any bigger objects which will 
be in 2 weeks due to retention rules.

Re: deletion performance of large deduplicated files

Hi Michael,

We are using Linux server. The server is sized according to the Blueprints 
(Large server config). We send all our data to the container pool. It's a mix 
of BA (Linux and Windows), SQL Server, SAP, Oracle and Lotus Notes clients.
Like I stated earlier, the performance issue seems to be related to large file 
clients and especially the deletion of large files. As soon as we remove Oracle 
and SAP clients away from a bad performing TSM server, performance is improving.

Hello Eric,

  could you describe a bit you server setup?
What type of data are you storing? SQL (which), VM, File, ...
Is everything going into one dedup pool or are they split for different types 
of data?

I assume your TSM-servers run on AIX.

In general, performant backup and restore is no problem with deduplicated 
storagepools, if done the right way.
Housekeeping is a total different pair of shoes.

Re: deletion performance of large deduplicated files

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Rick and others!

I replicated the data of the test TDP client to multiple servers, running 
7.1.7, 7.1.9 and even 8.1.8: the performance sucks on all servers.
We do not use client replication as part of our server protection. We need a 
real time replication over the datacenter and thus we rely on host-based 
replication for all our servers. I tested with and without replication: there 
is no noticeable difference.
As a work-around I will install a non-deduplicated file stgpool on the worst 
performing server next week. I expect the server to perform better as soon as 
all container pool objects are expired, in about 3 weeks from now.
In the meantime I will keep on pursuing IBM until it is fixed or else we might 
need to replace the product altogether...

Eric, Michael,
I have been working through similar struggles and as I read your posts had to 
wonder, can you provide some details on your server and client versions?
Basically I now have experience/exposure to every version/maintenance 
pack/patch SP has put out since 7.1.3.x

My servers are now running on  8.1.8 (windows) and has seemed to have 
stabilized (for now).
One thing that was causing me a lot of grief was using directory storage pools 
with client side deduplication enabled, particularly on data protection 
products (all of them).
Afterwards there was a lot of cleanup; auditing containers, confirming that 
protect storage was completing successfully, and finally doing the same for 
replicate node processes.

I found that understandably server performance takes a severe nose dive if you 
are trying to process (protect/replicate) damaged containers, and most likely 
restores will be compromised as well.


Thank you,

Hello Eric,



  welcome to my nightmares. Take a seat, wanna have a drink?



I had the pleasure of performance and data corruption PMRs during the last two

years with TDP Oracle. Yes, at first the customer got blamed for not adhering

completely to to blueprints, but after some weeks it boild down to  ...

silence.

Data corruption was because of what ended in IT28096 - now fixed.

Performance is interesting, but resembles to what you have written. We work

with MAXPIECESIZE settings on RMAN to keep the backup pieces small and got

some interesting values, pending further observation, but we might be on a

cheerful way. I'm talking about database sizes of 50TB here, warehouse style.

  In between we moved the big DBs to a dedicated server to prove that the

performance drop is because of the big DBs, and the remaining "small" DBs  -

size of 500MB up to 5TB - didn't put any measurable stress on the DB in terms

of expiration and protect stgpool. Even the big DBs on their dedicated server

performed better in terms of expiration and protect stgpool, which might have

been a coincidence of these DBs holding nearly the same data and having the

same retention period.



What I can't observe is a slowness of the DB. Queries are answered in the

normal time - depending on the query. a count(*) from backupobjects naturally

takes some time, considerably longer when you use dedup, but the daily queries

are answered in the "normal" timeframe.



What helped immediately was some tuning:

- More LUNS and filesystems for the TSM-DB

- smaller disks, but more of them, for each filesystem.

  changing the disks from 100GB to 2 x 50GB for each DB-filesystem got me a

performance boost of 200% in expiration and backup db. Unbelievable, but true.

Yes, I'm using SSD. And SVC. And multiple storage systems. Performance isn't

the problem, we are measuring 2ms respone time for write AND read.

- stripeset for each fileset

deletion performance of large deduplicated files

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi TSM/SP-ers,

We are struggling with the performance of our TSM servers for months now. We 
are running several servers with hardware (Data Domain) dedup for years without 
any problems, but on our new servers with directory container pools performance 
is really, really bad.
The servers and storage are designed according to the Blueprints and they are 
working fine as long as you do not add large database (Oracle and SAP) client 
to them. As soon as you do, the overall server performance becomes very bad: 
client and admin session initiation takes 20 to 40 seconds, SQL queries run for 
minutes where they should take a few seconds and q query stgpool sometimes 
takes more than a minute to respond!
I have two cases open for this. In one case we focused a lot on the OS and disk 
performance, but during that process I noticed that the performance is most 
likely caused by the way TSM processes large (few hundred MB) files. I 
performed a large amount of tests and came to the conclusion that it takes TSM 
a huge amount of time to delete large deduplicated files, both in container 
pools as deduplicated file pools. As test I use an TDP for Oracle client which 
uses a backup piece size of 900 MB. The client contains about 5000 files. 
Deleting the files from a container pool takes more than an hour. When you run 
a delete object for the files individually I see that most files take more than 
a second(!) to delete. If I put that same data in a non-deduplicated file pool, 
a delete filespace takes about 15 seconds...
The main issue is that the TDP clients are doing the exact same thing: as soon 
as a backup file is no longer needed, it's removed from the RMAN catalog and 
deleted from TSM. Since we have several huge database clients (multiple TB's 
each) these Oracle delete jobs tend to run for hours. These delete jobs also 
seem to slow down each other, because when there are several of those jobs 
running at the same time, they become even more slow. At this point I have one 
server where these jobs are running 24 hours per day! This server is at the 
moment the worst performing TSM server I have ever seen. On the other container 
pool servers I was able to move the Oracle and SAP server away to the old 
servers (the ones with the Data Domain), but on this one I can't because of 
Data Domain capacity reasons.
For this file deletion performance I also have a case open, but there is 
absolutely no progress. I proved IBM how bad the performance is and I even 
offered them a copy of our database so they can see for themselves, but only 
silence from development...
One thing I do not understand: I find it very hard to believe that we are the 
only one suffering from this issue. There must be dozens of TSM users out there 
that backup large databases to TSM container pools?

How to make dsmc recognize drives

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi guys,

For some tests I want to create separate drives in Windows and back them up 
with SP. I create these drives with the subst command (subst D: c:\). The drives created are visible in the Windows GUI and accessible 
through the Windows command line, but the Spectrum Protect client does not 
recognize them.
Does anybody know how to make dsmc recognize them as a separate drive?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Running TSM/SP in a cluster?

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi guys,
I'm wondering if more people are running TSM in a cluster configuration. We 
always used Linux clusters based on Veritas Cluster Service (VCS). Ever since 
we were switched to IBM hardware we also had to switch to a different multipath 
driver and that is where the problems started.
We always used Powerpath together with EMC hardware which worked OK. VCS only 
supports Powerpath and Veritas DMP and because we switched to an IBM Storwize 
v5010 we switched to DMP. However, DMP doesn't seem to be able to properly 
handle 4 an 8K I/O's so write performance on the database volumes is awful. 
Veritas doesn't seem to be able to fix this issue, so I'm looking at 
alternatives.
What clustering software are you guys using and what is your experience with it?
Thanks for any reply in advance!

Re: best way to avoid long rollback

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi Eric,
Just like Zoltan said, you really need to prevent a kill of TSM. This will 
leave the DB2 database in an inconsistent state and thus result in a DB2 crash 
recovery which can indeed be a lengthy process. Just use a halt to stop TSM and 
the DB2 database will be closed properly.

We are running rhel7 on a dell r730 and we just did a full and

Typically then shutdown with systemctl stop tsminst1.

I think last time we stopped tsm about an hour after the db finished its

roughly and an hour for us to do all of the patching tripwire reboot etc that 
we do.

Hi Eric,

To encrypt all files:

   include.encrypt *

You should also review the "encryptiontype" and "encryptkey" settings.
"encryptiontype aes256" enables the client's strongest encryption setting.
"encryptkey generate" uses a dynamically created encryption key that is stored 
(in encrypted form) on the IBM Spectrum Protect server.

Re: Encrypt all data on a Windows client

Hi Marc,
I will turn on client dedup and compression for the few nodes that have to use 
encryption.
Thanks for your reply!

Eric,

Just be aware that if you are backing up to a container pool, encrypted files 
will not dedup.  If that's the case, you may want to encrypt traffic instead, 
and use at-rest encryption on the storage pool.

Encrypt all data on a Windows client

[Loon, Eric van (ITOP NS) - KLM]

Hi guys,
What would be the best include.encrypt statement(s) to be added to the dsm.opt 
when I want everything to be encrypted on a Windows client? So all data, 
including system state and no matter how many drives it has.
Thanks for your help in advance!
