Hi,
I've found these to be helpful

NDMP backups Restore

[Nick Marouf]

Hello ADSM,

We are currently migrating away from Netapps, (NDMP to tape) to a new store
subsystem ( Infinidat)

My belief is that since NDMP is a common protocol, we should be able to
restore those via TSM to volumes on to the Infinidats or any other
alternate storage destination.

Does anyone have any experience or tips? I feel that I'm only scratching
the surface with this topics.


Thank you
-Nick

Re: NAS Backup

[Nick Marouf]

Hi Eric,

 Does the storage pool have a limit to the number of scratch tapes
available? Or do you have to manually define tapes to that pool?

q stg pool_name f=d

Maximum Scratch Volumes Allowed: 2,000
Number of Scratch Volumes Used: 1,160


If you manually define tapes to the storage pool, try this query below.
Does it return any available tapes in the pool?

q v * stg=pool_name status=Empty

Re: Share permission changes

[Nick Marouf]

Hello

From my experience changing share permission will force tsm to backup all

instead of users to shares.

Changes to group membership is behind the scenes in AD, and is not picked
up by TSM at the client level.

Hi Everyone,

 My understanding is that when first activating the SAS service a SSL

invalid

The steps in the documentation recommend deleting the invalid certificate
and starting over.

I've had no luck so far, has anyone setup SAS service? and you encounter a

Re: checkin libv command

[Nick Marouf]

As an option you can use the search=bulk, and the troublesome tape once
checked into the library can be updated with upd v  access=unav
But your are correct Jeanne, the search=yes should have picked them up
since you inserted them into the library.

Hope that helps.

Re: checkin libv command

[Nick Marouf]

If the tape in question A00025L5 is part of your offsite pool, it just
needs to be checked out of the library and sent offsite until ready to come
back.
If that tape is part of an internal pool. You need to check it back into
the library as private.

checkin libv  search=y status=private checkl=b waitt=0 voll=A00025L5

DRM is a good check. Making sure you query drm based on how you did the
move drm. i.e (q drm volume_name or q drm volume_name s=dbs)

It is still not clear why checking/labeling new tapes is not working for
you, are the new tape labels a continued extension of the existing labels?
Is there a defined label range defined for the library (i.e logical library
defined with range A0L5-A000305L5)

Hope that helps

 from scratch then look for a tape that is private with no last use.  These
 are sometimes orphaned tapes.  You can verify if they are orphaned by q vol
 and searching q drm for the tape.

 When I find an orphan I re-label the tape, but be careful, an error can

Re: Restore and mounts

[Nick Marouf]

This could be normal if TSM is trying to recreate all the directory
structures. It creates this first, before restoring actual data.



With the newer versions of TSM, using a directory class management  (DIRMC)
shouldn’t be necessary, since ACL information is applied at a later point
in time. However with that said, I’ve seen fileservers with millions of
directory structures that could be spread  across many tapes, or even one
tape.



You may want to open a ticket with support for
confirmation, but the symptoms you are reporting are similar to a problem I
had a while back.

ProtecTier and V7000 storage.

[Nick Marouf]

Hello fellow ADSMers,

I'd like to get some feedback on anyone's experience with setting up
ProtecTier using a V7000 for storage. I'm setting up a 2 node TS7650G DD5

The V7000 storage was already allocated by a previous admin, using volumes
with striped visualization. The most recent Redbook Aug 2014 says to use
sequential.

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248025.pdf

The ProtecTIER architecture stripes the repository among all file systems
and uses all the disks simultaneously. Because of this architecture, you
should create the volume to accommodate the full size of each MDisk.
Additionally, because of the nature of the ProtecTIER file system
architecture and workload, sequential virtualization has better performance
than striped virtualization.


Before re-starting from scratch, I wanted to get feed back from the field,
and any other tips if you have them. Does anyone have any comparison data
by chance?


Thank you,
-Nick

NDMP restores

[Nick Marouf]

Good morning,

 I've recently been running into a very odd problem that maybe someone on
the list might have experienced in the past.

 We currently have virtual machines that are provisioned from a NetApp data
filer. Using VSC we take daily snapshots on the backend. We use virtual
nodes setup to map to the the filer for an NDMP data backup.

This process has been working and stable for some time. However, with only
one of the many datastores when I restore a specific virtual machine
instance to a new empty datastore location, the restore itself is
successful.

If I browse the datastore location, Almost all files have the requested
PITD,PITT however the machinename-flat.vmdk and vmware.log file are from
the most recent backup.

Multiple trial and errors with various specified days, all act the same way.

I'm on TSM 6.2.1 RHEL


Has anyone see this behavior from before?

Thank you,
-Nick

Re: reclamation

[Nick Marouf]

One more thing to consider is you can move some tapes out of the
library by using move media command. Lets say that you had a bunch
at a 100% capacity that does require reclamation, you can eject those,
and add scratch tapes. (assuming you have some free tapes as well)

move media volnmae stg=pool ovflo=cabinet rem=yes checkl=n

You can then check those back in once you free up some space.

 that I DO have paths to drives available.  I expect that the errors are
 symptoms of TSM trying to mount E06 media with no E06 drives, so it is a
 reassuring symptom.  I can look up the media involved and either do a
 restore volume or move data.   I would need to use an E06 drive for the
 move data and possibly (pretty likely) for the restore volume operations.

 - My favored solution would be to upgrade the drives to all the same type,
 but I am not writing the check and neither is our customer.

 I like the idea of utilizing the two E06 drives for another reason beyond
 just using full capacity.
  We are correcting an issue with replication of SVC volumes over
 Global Mirror.  It is billed as asynchronous, but ...it isn't.
 When daily changes were a quarter of what they are now it caused
 detectable but trivial slowness in Prod applications.  Now it is a serious
 problem.
 The cure requires restructuring replication...and reshipping ALL of the
 production data.  It's going to take ten days more or less.
 That is ten days without a recovery pointwell, without one that meets
 the SLA
 Management demands on the one hand that service interruptions and delays
 to the customer end, but they are unwilling to accept such a serious gap
 in DR capability  So, the problem gets worse.
 (To me) Export media seems to be a way to mitigate that recovery gap.
 Daily exports are not elegant, they are a poor plug in the gap, but the
 alternative is no plug in the gap.  Export media don't need to be in the
 destination TSM DB, which makes it unnecessary to restore a Prod db
 _backup to the DR TSM server.  The idea is not popular though.

 The catch is that Prod is using E06.  However, it has unused E05 drives.
 Partitioning the libraries looks ever better.

Re: Equating current 3494 configuration to TS3500

[Nick Marouf]

Hello Zoltan,


  When you have that many tapes to input into the library,
you can simply open the door and manually insert the tapes. You would
need to run the tape library audit to index the tape locations. You
can then proceed to the checkin process from the TSM servers.


  Based on some of my experiences, you can use the I/O
Slots and insert 32 tapes at a time, and the library will fill up the
Max Virtual I/O slots. It will keep on grabbing media inserted. The
catch is when you do a checkin on TSM, it will only checkin the value
set for Max Virtual, you can keep re-running the checkin command until
all the media has been checked in.


  I'm assuming from the library manager you would be doing
something like


checkin libv 3584lib search=bulk checkl=barcode status=Private waitt=0


You can set the MAX VIO slots to 255, the Library will keep this many
slots empty in order to accommodate the movement of tapes, either from
inputting them, or with the DRM process when sending them offsite.


In our environment the balance that works for us is set to set VIO to
150. This ensures that when I run the DRM command I have enough slots
free to eject and move all media, and not have the process waiting for
someone to remove tapes. You would need to fine tune this depending on
the library capacity available empty slots.


With a max Capacity of 970, I have 150 set for VIO. This leaves me 820
data slots. Don't forget about the cleaning tapes as well.



There is one gotcha you don't want to get yourself into which is
inputting tapes as you are ejecting them. I was reading a tech note
where you if you are ejecting 150 tapes, decide to load scratch tapes
as your unloading where it would end up not having room to place
media in VIO or eject media since now the I/O slot door is locked with
media waiting to be inputted.


I've found that when I was tweaking the VIO limits, I would re-audit
the library and re-audit from within the TSM library and each client.

 In the interest of completeness, here's one other thing that is different
 from the 3494:
 When you create your logical libraries, modify the maximum VIO
 cartridges setting.
 I believe the default is still 16.

 AFAIK, with a 3494 you can just keep stuffing cartridges in the I/O door,
 and it will keep filing them away with an INSERT category code.

 In the TS3500 w/ALMS, you put cartridges in the physical I/O door, and the
 library puts them into the virtual I/O door of the appropriate library
 partition. But if you put more through the physical door than the library
 has virtual I/O slots (before you do a checkin and clear the virtual I/O
 slots), weirdness will ensue.  Your checkin will not see the extra
 cartridges.

 I don't' know of any reason not to set the maximum VIO cartridges to the
 max setting, which I think is 255.  Somebody else might have a better idea
 if there is a downside to that.
