Re: SV: TSM 5.5 (CLIENT/SERVER)

2008-09-10 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Hi,

One of our two TSM servers hit with TSM table locking at 5.5.0 with 
performing a long running restore.   We upgraded to 5.5.1 and have been in 
a steady state since.

TSM OS AIX, 5.3
Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition 5.5.1.0 currently


However, our second TSM server which backs up to a CENTERA  Device.   We 
have open service calls with AIX and TSM support working on the following 
issue.   We collected a bunch of data which both hardware and TSM support 
is currently working on. After upgrading this TSM server from 5.2 to 
5.5 we began to experience paging problems on the server.   So, bad in 
fact that AIX started killing processes.   The only change we had made 
that started this issue was to upgrade from TSM 5.2 to TSM 5.5 and 
installing a SDK 3.2.1 install seperately for the Centera piece.   I would 
be interested if anyone experienced the same issue or if anyone is using a 
Centera with a similiar environment and  if you are experiencing any 
issues.

AIX 5.3, ML 3
TSM upgrade 5.2 to 5.5.0 and install of SDK 3.2.1(with newer version of 
TSM server install of SDK must be installed seperately.  It used to be 
bundled in the with the TSM upgrades).

Thank You,

Hi,
Do not upgrade to 5.5.0 because you got critical issues in 5.5.0
We have upgrade many servers to 5.5.1 and that works much better so 
upgrade to 5.5.1.

We have been running 5.5.0.3 for a long time with no issues.

However there is a pretty critical problem with 5.5.0.x that is resolved
in 5.5.1 so it is suggested you go to that level after upgrading to base
5.5 (you did not say what level you are coming from).

Moving a Wintel node to a new piece of like hardware

2008-09-03 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Hello TSMers,

What constitutes the TSM server to backup a node which is moved to a new
piece of like hardware and keeps the same nodename and ip address?


We are migrating a couple servers from a remote location that are
currently backing up to a TSM server at this remote location which is at
TSM server version 5.4.1.0 and AIX operating system at 5.3.   There are a
few nodes that will keep their current node names and current ip addresses
but will be moving to a new piece of hardware.   We are exporting nodedata
and policy information to LTO tape and then importing that information
into my TSM server.My question is when I go to do the first backup for
this node to my TSM server ,   Will my TSM server see this as a new node
and back it up as a full the first time or will it be business as  usual
and just perform an incremental backup.



Background:

TSM Server:
TSM Server Version:5.5.1.0
Operating System:AIX, 5.3

TSM Node:
TSM Client Version 5.4.1.4

Memory Issue: Since Upgrading TSM Server from 5.2 to TSM 5.5 and installation of Centera SDK 3.2.1 - anyone experiencing similar problem?

2008-07-28 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone is experiencing memory issues since upgrading to
TSM server 5.5 and installation of Centera SDK 3.2.1?

Starting with TSM 5.5 the Centera SDK had to be installed separately where
in the past the Centera SDK was part of the install package.   We have
noticed that since upgrading our TSM server from 5.2 to 5.5 that large
amount of memory is being used which we suspected it was coming from the
dsmserv process.Each time the pages are freed is when we have killed
the dsmserv process.We made NO changes to the OS and the only change
was the upgrade of the TSM server from 5.2 to 5.5.

We opened a call with IBM TSM support which in turn had us run some data
collection scripts for a few days.   In summary, IBM confirmed that a
large amount of memory is being used.  It is not being used by any dsmserv
subsystem however.

We opened a ticket with AIX support which in turn rerouted the ticket back
to IBM TSM support.   We are hashing out where the ticket is supposed to
be assigned and worked.   Meanwhile, there has been no movement on the
call and was curious to see if anyone else using the Centera SDK and TSM
5.5 has experienced the same problem.

2008-07-28 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Richard,

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.   We have a tried a few of your
suggestions.IBM TSM support did have us run the following show
commands.I just tried to run 'show memory' on this server and had to
break out of the command because it began to cause failures with object
retrievals memory/paging.AIX is having us run perfpmr  as the next
troubleshooting step so hopefully that will help us get down to the bottom
of the memory hog. IBM did have us run a few commands that I left out
from original email.


1. restart the dsmserv process
2. collect the output of 'SHOW ALLOC' one time per hour for the next 48
hours. Also collect AIX command output for 'ps aux | grep dsmserv' at the
same time.
3. at the end of step 2 collect the last 48 hours of unfiltered activity
log

Nancy -

Confer with your AIX people on identifying processes using the most
memory in your server system, where 'ps' and various other monitoring
facilities can report what's using what.

In TSM, you can use the SHow MEMory command to report a summary of
memory usage and the SHow ALLOC command to report by module.  SHow
THReads will report what threads are in play.

Also, note that you are running base level TSM code, with no
maintenance, which is not a good idea.

Re: Fw: Naming conventions of PDs/MCs






Yes, keep them short, simple and exchangeable.
Sometimes you decide to migrate a node from one policy domain into a
different one. Then it's very convenient to have the same names for
the Mgmt-Classes as before.

In general we don't name the standard/default MC, it just stays
standard in any PD.
For MCs we often use names that reflect the settings for the main 4
parameters, like 3-2-30-60 or 2-1-7-7. We use 0 for the nolimit
value, like in 0-0-14-14.
In addition to this we have some short-forms like RET14 (=0-0-14-14),
sometimes we add a special MC name to make a customer happy.
And of course, sometimes it gets cryptic, when you need to put
additional information into the name, like in 4-3-50-80-SHDY (shared
dynamic).

If you have more than one TSM server, try to keep all PDs and MCs in
sync - makes moving nodes between servers much saver. Just imagine
what happens if the new server doesn't have the new longtime-
protecting special MC and you find out just after the restore request
arrives.

Best regards,
Michael

Need help verifying last steps when redefining library drives - Regarding checking in the tapes again

2007-04-03 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Backgroud:
TSM - 5.3.2.2
AIX -5.3.3
Library - ADIC I2000 Scalar,with  IBM LTO2 drives, LTO2 fuji tapes

Currently have a partitioned library:
1st partition - 16 drives
2nd partition -2 drives


We are eliminating  the 2nd partition and  moving the 2 drives and 50
slots from the 2nd partition over to the 1st partition to equal 18 drives
with the help of the library vendor.

I am fuzzy on the last steps regarding checking all the tapes back into
the 1st library to recognize the newly added slots.   So, once I run the
rebuild script that rebuilds the library,library path, drives, and paths.


Final Steps:  Checking in all the tapes

show slots library name (to see additional slots)

then
checkin  libv lib name search=yes checklabel=barcode status=scratch
checkin  libv lib name search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private

then
run an audit librarylib name checklabel=barcode


Are these the correct steps when checking in all the tapes to recognize
the library and slots?

Thank You.

Subject:for those using VTL


We have a number of vendors coming in with their wares and I was
wondering if those who use a VTL might pass on some info. As you all
know when you're in these types of sales pitches you always hear how
great theirs are and that nobody else can do what they do. My questions
are below.



1.   What VTL did you choose?
2.   Is it all they said it would be?
3.   If you do it over again would you choose differently and
if so
which one? This could also relate to wishing a current product was out
at the time you made your decision.
4.   Is anyone using their VTL in a multi-system environment
where
you have either more than 1 TSM server and/or both TSM 'AND' Netbackup?
5.   Is anyone replicating their VTL to a DR site? If so are
you
experiencing any issues there?



I understand there is going to be many answers here but I'd prefer to
get the lowdown on how things work from those that are using them and
not from someone who tells me how it's going to work.

Re: Survey Question for Virtual Tape Users: What Vendors are you using for Virtual Tape?

2006-12-07 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Kelly,

My backup window is all the time.  Backups start as early as 4pm to 8am
the next morning. I haven't tried more than two max processes for one
of my larger pools.I have 12 disk pools (drives) tied up until 8am or
longer, plus not to mention the impact to the client backup/thrashing.

Backup Window is:  This includes client backup, and mainframe job
scheduler hooked in.  Data writing to all 12 disk pools from 4pm -8am
Starttime: 4pm
Endtime:8am

Currently:

Backups occur during 4pm  8am  *I would tie up those drives from 4pm-8am

TSM DB backups:
7am - TSM DB full backup  *problem already, clients are overlapping tsm db
backup.   Not good.

8am 4pm - Disk Migrations to Onsite tape occurs -12 disk pools

9am -10am :Expiration runs daily

10am -checkout script runs to take dr tapes offsite *problem which my
backup from last night isn't in the checkout, but the backup from the
previous day.

Between 2pm-8pm:   Backup onsite tape to offsite tape pools   * problem,
that data from the night before is still in the library so it is not going
offsite until the next day...yikes.

9am - 12am -running onsite 10 onsite tape pools reclamation throughout the
day, as migrations end.  These are staggered.


12am-7am:   Run offsite reclamation, for 7 Offsite Pools

12am = TSM DB full backup

Subject:Re: Survey Question for Virtual Tape Users:  What 
Vendors are you using
for Virtual Tape?


Based on your config I'm guessing you're having trouble completing the
backup stg operations due to the fact that you get a single large
process running to a single tape drive (or tape to tape) and that's
taking too long.

I would suggest using the copystg parameter on the primary tape pool and
have that large database go directly to the primary and copy pool tapes
simultaneously.  That will eliminate the need to do the backup stg
tapepool copypool operation during daily processing.  I would also
backup stg diskpool copypool before I migrate.  Again, the goal, I
assume, is to get the backup stg operations completed as early as
possible.

So in summary:

1. Large stuff goes directly to tapepool with copystgpool set to
copypool.  You have plenty of tape drives so there should not be any
conflict during the backup.
2. backup stg diskpool copypool maxproc=10 (or whatever) first thing or
maybe even start this during the backup window (careful with that as
that can slow the performance of client backups and the backup stg
operation).
3. Simultaneous with that, backup stg tapepool copypool (just in case
something when afoul).
4. backup db
5. prepare
6. Then do the migrations and other housekeeping chores.

With the number of tape drives you have, I'm thinking with this
rearrangement you should be able to get the work done.  I don't think a
VTL would help you anyway!  Sorry about that you hardware sellers!

Subject: [ADSM-L] SQL2062N An error occurred while accessing media, Reason
Code: 137

Hi Ig,

We tried the following steps this morning...

 1 Delete the *.pwd file for the client nodename in the /etc/security/a
 dsm directory..
 2 Update the password for the client nodename to a different password
 than the old password. (run this on the tsm server)
 3 Re-Run the DSMAPIPW to generate the password on the client side




When we run the 'db2adutl' command from the client - we see in the tsm
server actlog a db2 session start and stop.

But, when we try to run a backup from db2, we don't see any session
startand the db2 client reports the SQL2062N, 137 reason code.

Noticed that the DSMAPIPW  utility - doesn't appear to update the TSM.PWD
on the client side (.profile)

Question - Where is the DSMAPIPW password stored?

An error occurred while accessing media, Reason Code: 137


Hi Nancy,

I was just figuring this out yesterday. Had the same problem, until they
changed into reason code 184.
But this is what i figured out so far.

In order to do online backups, your logging configuration in DB2 should
be set to archive logging. But your DB2 admins will probably know about
this.

Next, make sure you setup all TSM_ (except TSM_PASSWORD) parameters in
the DB2 database to default.
Although i use PASSWORDACCESS generate, i had to set the nodes password
in the database config.

DB2CONNECT TO YOURDB;
DB2UPDATE DATABASE CFG USING TSM_PASSWORD YOURPW IMMEDIATE;
DB2UPDATE DATABASE CFG USING TSM_NODENAME NULL IMMEDIATE;
DB2UPDATE DATABASE CFG USING TSM_MGMTCLASS NULL IMMEDIATE;
DB2CONNECT RESET;

When you set any of the other parameters to anything but NULL, DB2 tries
to apply them to the backupjob, which in return will fail.

Have you rebooted the DB2 host, or restarted DB2 after setting the
DSMI_* vars?

Last, i would think that the DB2 user (or the user starting the backup
process) cannot read the file you mention (libtsm.a). My reason codes
137 never mentioned a file (It is on Windows though). Have you checked
the permissions on that file in relation to the active user?


Good Luck.

Gr. Ilja

Does the TDP incremental backup utilize the same information as a the full

noticed is that we run the full email db backups on Saturdays and Sundays,
then Monday-Friday night we run the incremental backups.   Which instead
backing up a few ids, it's backing up all the 1800 mail databases all over
again on Monday only(another full) when in fact the full backup ran
successful on Sunday.

Re: Domino /TSM Question

2006-06-29 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Joe,

When do you run your inactivate logs?

We run the compact on Friday
Sat and Sun -fulls
Inactive logs- after the fulls complete
Incrementals (Mon-Friday)

All the dbids shouldn't have changed in 1 or 2 days, and I am only getting
zinged on Monday Incrementals(which is really a full), not the rest of the
weekday schedule.


Our compact runs on Fridays for a few hours, then the full on Saturday(1st
email server), and Sundays(2nd email server), then the incrementals
(Mon-Fri)- and the Mon night incremental is catching all the databases
again, but not on Tues, Wed, etc.   Also, the inactive of the old trans
logs after the full backups completed on Sat and Sun.We used to the
run the compact during full backup,  but changed it for 'best practice' to
Fridays instead of during the full backup.

The incremental backup is backing up all databases that have changed DBID
since the full.
Questions:
Is there some process running after the full that is changing the DBID?
Does this also backup all 1800 on Tuesday?

We had this scenario one week and luckily figured it out quickly. For us,
the full ran Saturday, then on Sunday they ran a compress on all
databases.  The compress changes the DBID.  Monday incremental caught all
databases again.  Our cure was to run database cleanup routines on
Saturday, and do a full backup on Sunday.  This has a slight risk if there
is a problem during a cleanup routine, we might have to restore to
previous Sunday and roll forward the entire week, but this is very rare
(we haven't needed this yet.).

Question - Migration

2006-05-23 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Problem:   TSM doesn't have enough time during the day to drain all of the
diskpools down to 0% before client backups start in the afternoon.So,
on our declared disaster day, one of our critical small DB2 databases was
still on disk never going to tape.   Because migration selects the largest
client with the largest amont of data, that small database is stuck in
disk for multiple days never going to tape.I could seperate the
critical servers into smaller disk pools as one solution, or collocate by
group node data.

Question   Is there a way  to force all of a client nodes data in a
diskpool to migrate to tape even though it falls below the low migration
setting? I see settings in update stgpool to keep data longer in disk,
but I want any data that is left over from yesterday to migrate first
before starting with the largest client again.



Background:

TSM Server  Extended Edition 5.3.2.2
AIX Operating System 5.3



Our clients all back up to disk pools first , then we backup the diskpools
to onsite tape pools, then do a backup of the onsite tapepools for
disaster recovery and send those tapes to an offsite location.

AIX 5.3 - Op Sys
Library at Sterling Forest:  3584
LTO 2 drives with LTO 2 tapes


After the tsm db tape gets restoredand library, path, drives, library
path are defined.


 1.   checkin libvol tapelib search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private

2.   audit library tapelib checklabel=barcode

3.Mark all library volumes as reado

4.   Mark Sequential Pools unavailable I think this should be damaged

Nancy, from the way this is worded, it is not clear to me if *you* are
asking the question, or answering someone's post, or if this was intended
for someone else.

- The ANS1468E message should be available in dsmc help.

- ANS1468E is also available in the online Messages manual. Go to the TSM
support page (see my sig below), then go to the bottom of that page and
look for Information Center, which links to the online manuals. Follow
that link, then enter ANS1468E in the search box on the left side of the
page (above the Contents pane) and you should be able to pull up the
message info.

- Agreed that the message is probably not as helpful as it might be.

- I suggest ensuring that this is not a Windows issue by running ntbackup,
then run through the Automated System Recovery Wizard. If that falls over,
then your problem is probably Windows-related.

- On which specific Windows OS and SP does this occur?

Re: ANR8300E - I/O error on library desc= the destination slot or drive was full in an attemt to move a volume

2006-04-11 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Just an update...


I had already tried auditing the library with checklabel=barcode for a
first fix attempt and still saw the error.Yesterday afternoon working
with ADIC tech support we ran an inventory process from the library side
and then reran the audit on  TSM  server checklabel=barcodeand no
errors after that.   (fingers crossed)

Been there - Done that.  Seen it numerous times.

Just perform an audit of your library, scanning the barcodes.  There is an
out-of-sync problem in the library inventory (internal).  There is a tape
who's barcode it didn't read during the last scan pass or you had some
kind of library error.

In fact, I just did one. AUDIT
LIBR insert your library name here checkl=b

Anyone see this error below?   Looking for direction/suggestions?

The tape(s) do actually does dismount.  The issue is occurring on
different drives.   All volumes are online, no unavail, no damaged, etc. I
audited the library, it was a successful audit checklabel=barcode.

**Background - Updated a week ago Library firmware from 3.1 to 4.1 and
then backed out the library firmware code because internal barcode on the
tapes could not be read.  So we went back to our 3.1 firmware and thought
we were ok again.   Also, a couple other ADIC clients reported similiar
issues with new firmware.   Then we started seeing this error today with
TSM sense data.

Errpt - showing nothing

Only TSM is reporting error, the library and aix are reporting no errors.

Re: EMC Centera

2006-01-19 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
I believe you have to have TSM DRP.

 We have recently implemented TSM, Content Manager OnDemand, and Centera
as the storage device.  Content Manager OnDemand controls the retention
settings, and TSM is only the api to Centera.   We have TSM Extended
Edition.   I believe in order for retention to be set in TSM, you need to
purchase TSM DRP.   I believe Centera has a base default setting, but in
our environment we need at least 8 tiers of retention so we let Content
Mgr OnDemand handle the retention.

Subject:EMC Centera


Hi team,

We are in the process of testing an EMC Centera as a storage repository
for TSM.  We find the following snippet in:

Technical Changes for Version 5 Release 2 -- January 2004
EMC Centera Support
 ...
 Centera devices can also be used as standard storage devices if no
mandatory retention requirements exist for the data.
 ...

We have no mandatory retention requirements  We just want TSM to
control retention like he always has on other devices.

Now, by following the FM closely we are able to get data written to,
read from, the Centera BUT when our storage admin types do their
periodic housecleaning, unbeknown to TSM, all the TSM data is deleted.
Apparently there is an attribute of deleteable or not deleteable
somewhere in that box and TSM is not setting it.

Anyone have any knowledge/advice on how to get TSM and EMC Centera to
agree on retention controls?

TIA,

Adding additional sticker to lto tapes for Disaster Recovery Test

2005-12-13 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Hello,

We have a disaster recovery test scheduled soon for IBM Sterling Forest,
NY site.   We have been asked to add an additional sticker to all our LTO
1 and LTO2 tapes as a unique identifier for the disaster recovery
test(about 600 tapes) while at the DR test site besides the barcode label.
   We will be using a 3584 Library - LTO 2 drives for the recovery test. I
talked to our  library vendor, who suggested adding the labels to the top
of the lto 2 tapes, and that the additional label doesn't pose any problem
as long as it isn't a barcode type label and that the label of course is
stuck on correctly to the tape.   I believe the identifier would be our DR
contract number(have to confirm that).

Wondering if anyone else has had to do this for a dr test, any issues,
recommendations?

Thank You for your help.
I guess I will have to order a couple of silver sharpies.   Sterling
Forest is requesting us to put our contract number, but we might put
something like our complany name on them( HN, WNY) so that we don't have
to do this again if we switch dr sites.

This has been discussed some from time to time.
Basically, as I remember, two conclusions.

1.  Don't put ANY labels on tapes except the original barcode
labels.  Anything else has the potential to jam tape drives or robot
mechanism.

2.  I believe some folks have used some type of felt tip pen of various
colors (to stand out from color of LTO tape case) to make some markings
on the tape case.

1 and LTO2 tapes as a unique identifier for the disaster recovery
test(about 600 tapes) while at the DR test site besides the barcode label.
   We will be using a 3584 Library - LTO 2 drives for the recovery test. I
talked to our  library vendor, who suggested adding the labels to the top
of the lto 2 tapes, and that the additional label doesn't pose any problem
as long as it isn't a barcode type label and that the label of course is
stuck on correctly to the tape.   I believe the identifier would be our DR
contract number(have to confirm that).

Wondering if anyone else has had to do this for a dr test, any issues,
recommendations?

Nancy, is this because you're shipping the tapes or some such? We've
done several tests at Sterling Forest and never needed to do this, but
we hand-carry our tapes (about 145, mixed LTO1 and LTO2).

I'd hit up your project manager to come up with an IBM-approved method
(the silver marker sounds like the best to me).

Yes, that behavior has been discussed on the listserv about a month ago.
I believe someone had an APAR open on it with IBM.

I believe we were guessing that it was a problem with something in the
5.3 ML2 files that caused the different behavior on the windowing.

Look through the archives for the exact details.

I believe IBM TSM is working on this.  I opened a PMR with TSM, and the
support person stated that there are 5 other new pmrs on this same issue.
I am awaiting feedback from TSM support on this issue.

We are at TSM Version 5.2.3.5, AIX OS Level 5.3 Mod 2 - We just upgraded

 Interesting, I have done the same thing in our AIX test

thing. Funny thing is that we have done the same thing on our test
Solaris TSM server and it worked fine.

 Is you installation on AIX 5.3 also? I was wondering if

Greetings,
 I posted this to the list last week, but for some reason I have not
been getting the digest, so I decided I better post it again in case
people replied and I didn't get it.  Sorry for the redundant traffic.
 I just upgraded a AIX 5.3 TSM server to TSM 5.3.1.6 and also
installed the migration TSM 5.2 Web interface. The 5.2 Web interface
basically works, but the center frame is missing. The left hand
navigation bar is correct, but when I open up something that should
produce content in the center frame, instead it opens a whole new window
and puts the content there. I can limp along with this behavior, but it
is annoying to have to go back and forth between two windows. This
happens on every browser we try, both Explorer and Netscape, so it isn't
tied to the browser I don't think.
If this is an old topic I am sorry, I looked for it on the archives and
couldn't find it.
  I have trouble believing it is happening to us, but no one else.

Best Regards,

What are the correct steps when moving slots from one partition to 2nd partition

2005-09-14 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
TSM Version 5.2.3.5
AIX O/S 5.3
Library - ADIC I2000 Scalar, partitioned library,10 drive  2 drive
IBM drives -LTO 2

We had to move slots over from one partition to the other(due to high
utilization), pending slot/drive order.

What is the correct procedure?

Steps:
Killed all processes/sessions
audited the library (audit library ltolib checklabel=barcode, it was a 
successful)
halted tsm(both instances)
Library partitions taken offline
Vendor changed slots
TSM brought up
show slots library - recognized the 24 new slots, but showed the slots
being unavailable(only the new ones)

ran an audit-the audit failed(couldn't recognize the new slots)

We then redefined the library, and restarted tsm, then started processes,
but then tapes wouldn't mount, although the library client would show the
tapes in the drive.  I killed the processes, but the process wouldn't
complete until the tape eventually did mount in the drive, then the
process would cancel.  We reran the audit library- this time it show the
new slots(barcode something -looked better than unavailable)
then re-ran the audit, it was successful ,but still the tapes wouldn't
mount
So the library vendor had to reboot the i/o blade, kicked off a
process...and the tape mounted quickly after that.

It appears that I missed a step somewhere(although IBM stated that was the
correct procedure, and that pending the library model, the library might
need to be rebooted).

Re: Anyone backing up Cisco Unity Product to TSM (Voicemail only)

2005-08-04 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
I should have been more clear in my original email(sorry about that).   I 
guess our network engineers know that Veritas is their only 
tested/certified solution, but wondering if anyone is backing up Cisco 
Unity with TSM.  I am going to call IBM support now.


Our Network Engineer reply,

That very point was the go-around we had with Cisco and DiData.  At this 
point, Cisco's position is that any solution can be used, but it is up to 
the customer to make sure it works, and if it causes problems on the Unity 
Server, they will require it to be removed before offering support. 
Veritas Backup Exec is their only tested/verified solution to date.

Feedback much appreciated.

We lost 2 drives in the same array on a CX600 and they wouldn't rebuild.
Our problem did not cause a loss of data.  EMC had to bring down the whole
thing and when it came back up the rebuild kicked off and everything was
OK.  We were told that if we had a more recent version of microcode then
the rebuild would have worked from the start.

Bottom line wait until EMC is done before you do anything because you may
not have lost any data.

Subject:CX700 ATA failure - Audit Storage Pool Volumes

TSM Server 5.2.3.5
AIX Operating System 5.2

We have lost two drives on a single ATA RAID array.  EMC CE is on site and
working with the EMC SAC to resolve the problem.  We brought TSM Server
down while EMC is working on the issue.   I started receiving the
following errors before we stop all processes, backups, migrations marking
the effected diskpool volumes read-only.

05/04/05 09:06:36 ANR1411W Access mode for volume
/tsmpool39/diskpool22a now
   set to read-only due to write error. (SESSION:
125991)

My question is 

When we bring the server back up.   I want to ensure that I am doing the
right thing, or if I am missing anything.

1.  I will need to make sure the volumes affected are online and  in a
read/write status.
2. Audit diskpools volumes, Inspect only first
3.  If there are damaged volumes,rerun audit volume, with Fix=Yes.
4. Suggestions?

Feedback - how are you using email archiving?

2005-02-16 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Background:
TSM Server 5.2.3.5
AIX Op System 5.2.2.0, P650 box
Library -ADIC I2000 Scaler, LTO 2 Drives

Looking for feedback from the group.

We have currently have a partioned library, 10 drives for all our system
backup.  The other library partition, with 2 drives for content manager.

We are using content manager, via common store for email archiving.   The
problem is when there is a problem with the tape, there are thousands of
small files on tape..and the restore of the tape is taking 20 hours to
move the data off a tape.   Seems that using LTO tape is not the answer
with all of thousands of individual emails on one tape.  Business SLA for
email archiving is 24 hours.   We are looking at increasing our disk
pools, and keep all data on the disk...and of course, still keep offsite
copy for DR purposes at this point.

Interested in any suggestions?  What are you doing for email archiving?

Backup - View data that was backed up

Background

TSM - 5.2.3.5
AIX- 5.2 Mod 4

One of our client admins just recently installed sql backtrack obsi module
on one of our windows server for testing (node name - dbb05).   The backup
is working fine , but I do not know how to view/verify that the backups
are going to the new storage pools(example:  apidisk1) that I set up for
this .

Today, the admin performed a successful manual backup.  Now I want to view
where that data was backed up to.  The filename:  \\dbb05\d$\runbook.   I
can query the contents in each of the storage pool volumes, but not
finding anything?

Nancy - A Flush operation refers to writing to tape all the data
 which the tape drive has buffered...a sync operation.
Sounds like you have a drive problem.  But I've experienced what
seem to be drive problems when the actual problem was a cable
or SCSI terminator.  (We had what looked like a drive problem
for about a year: switching the terminator caused the problem to
go away.  Lesson: never overlook trivial causes.)

Thank You who all replied and the suggestions.

Found the scratch tapes...we had implemented new stg pools(disk/tape) 2
weeks ago, one of our scripts did not have all the new dr pool logic in
it...ooops.

But, my next question is regarding trending..date stamp of my tape types,
scratch, private, on-site,off-site, unavail, reado..and would like to see
the breakdown in my stgpools...then import it into excel...to see a graph
at any given time to see what pools are using what tapes.  Right now I
look at the actlog daily for issues.

  I am a beginner in SQL statements(arrgghh), and just got a book on
KornShell.   Looking to see what is recommended by other TSMers?   What
are other AIX folks using for trending?

I have this sql..which helps.

How to remove a single file from a TSM backup tape volume

2004-11-10 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Hello,  Another question...

Background:
TSM Storage Manager: Version 5.2.3.4
AIX OpSystem: 5.2.2.0

I have a customer  that is requesting that 2 files be permanently removed
from TSM(classified type file)...including tape backup(which will be on
tape for 180 days).

Now I found the technote on Tivoli website - of the How to delete the file
from tapeHas anyone tried that suggestion?

I also checked the adsm.quickfacts sight... Search on ' File, selectively
delete from *SM' -unsupported method, which looks like the IBM suggestion
above. and the standard method.

I am gonna try the standard method(seems like less steps too) but was
curious if anyone tried the IBM suggestion?


Thanks Again ;-)

Nancy

I've used the unsupported DELETE OBJECT and would endorse the statement
Richard makes in his Quick Facts - namely that it does not update all the
necessary tables to fully remove the object from the TSM server. When I
subsequently ran an AUDITDB on the database, inconsistencies were flagged
up for that OBJECT_ID.

I was using it to delete TDP for Oracle backups that the RMAN catalogue
had
'forgotten' about, but with a file system client, I would recommend
following the advice in IBM technote # 1166278.

Re: How to determine sense code means?

2004-10-27 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
I looked at the activity log for the 2nd instance of TSM at the time of
the error is occurring at night.   Its only occurring on off hours for
that 2nd instance, which brought me back to the act log.   It looks like
when our content manager(NODE9CM), starts it's session, the error/message
occurs.   This instance isn't seeing any activity right now between
6pm-10pm.   So, after being idle, maybe this message is letting me know,
that the 2nd library is waking up?

But, I have to agree, that I like Richards' idea of get a video cam
in-house to see what really goes on off hours in our Operations
area...hahahaha.

But, the message is also occurring off hours on the  2nd instance of TSM.
...

As odd as it sounds to suggest it, there are some situations where one
has to train a video camera on the hardware and see what unusual things
are done off-shift.

Strange admin id -How do I get rid of it?

2004-10-21 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Hello,

Background info.
TSM Version 5.2.3
AIX operation system 5.1.5.

I started seeing these errors in my activity log past couple of days? This 
admin id was not registered(obviously from the text)  We had bounced our 
server yesterday for maintenance on our library, I thought it might clear 
up then...it didn't.  The sessions, don't exist to cancel.   Any idea's on 
how I get rid of it?

Re: Gui Admin for 2nd Instance of TSM

2004-09-20 Thread Nancy L Backhaus
Thanks for all who replied, (we had missed the 'halting of the server')

It ended up being that we never halted the 2nd server instance after
running the dsmserv runfile.  It's now working.

One gotcha I've experienced with this. Make sure you are running it from
the right directory. Here's what I run to get my web client working on
systems with multiple instances of TSM. The TSM2 directory is my working
directory for the 2nd instance on this server.

#!/bin/ksh
#
# Set the language
#
export LANG=en_US

#
# Max out size of data area
#
ulimit -d unlimited

#
# Allow the server to pack shared memory segments
#
export EXTSHM=ON
export DSMSERV_CONFIG=/usr/tivoli/tsm2/dsmserv.opt
export DSMSERV_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin
export DSMSERV_LOG=/usr/tivoli/tsm2/dsmserv.log
#
