Re: TDP for Lotus Domino 5.1.5.1 (license question)
the TDP client you can download from the net is ok as an initial install, BUT you still need one licence file from the orginal cd. the name vareys from one tdp client to another, but you can just make a clean install and when you try to start the client you will recive a error message prompting for the requierd license file, that you need to copy.

The script included was indeed for the incremental backups and a different one is used for the selective. One thing that has occurred to me is the licensing. I have registered a license on the server and can see that it is being used, but does anything in particular need to be done from the client point of view. As far as I know, the user will have downloaded the Domino client from ftp://index.storsys.ibm.com/. Will this be ok as an initial install or would that need to be used only as an install over an exisiting 'paid in full' version. I am only asking because looking at the readme for the client it says that is comes in various flavours (Paid In Full, PTF, Try and Buy etc).

The script below is doing an incremental backup... not a selective. With incremental backups, the .NSF file will not be backed up unless the DBIID has changed. The archivelog will capture the changes. The User's Guide discusses this in more detail. 2. I recommend that you upgrade to the latest Data Protection for Domino. Site: ftp.software.ibm.com Dir: /storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/tivoli-data-protection/domino/win32/v5301/ It includes fixes for some GUI crashes. 3. domdsmc does allow wildcards, so you could do something like: domdsmc incremental mail2\* /subdir=no If you don't want some databases backed up, you can EXCLUDE them.

Basically, if he does a selective backup (using the script below) it works fine, but incrementals seem to run OK but don't actually back anything up (except the transaction logs I think). Any ideas what the problem might be ? Also, he was originally trying to backup the mail dir but the GUI would just keep dropping out when he tried to do a manual backup. As such he has attempted to create a new dir called mail2 with database links pointing to the necessary databases. When he does this and used the GUI to look in mail2, it works fine. I'm sorry if I haven't provided the correct info but I'm not a Windows admin and have very limited knowledge in this realm.

The question revolves around using DEVCL:ASS FORMAT = DRIVE since we are not mixing LTO1 and LTO2 drives.

Re: LTO2 device class with LTO1 tapes!
Mladen how do you look at the volumes, if you see them in q libvol, that is to bee expected, as this shows you all volumes that tsm has access in the library regardless of there storagepool. but if you see them in your q vol command then you might have a problem, one solution to this is to define the LTO gen 2 volumes manually to the storage pool and not have it take scratch volumes (chance Maximum Scratch Volumes Allowed to 0 instead of 50), if you do that you can bee 100% sure that tsm wont take generation 1 tapes to that pool.

Re: LTO2 device class with LTO1 tapes!
Use the chcekout libvolume command to checkout the generation 2 tapes then check them back in with status=pri, then use the define volumes command to define them into the storage pool, just be carefull to use the exact name that shows up in the libvolume command. then you need to update the storage pool to max scrach to 0 make the gen 1 tapes in the gen 2 storagepool readonly and move the data to the same pool with move data command.

Re: Image backup
Nghiatd The System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) is a Windows tool to automate the successful deployment of Microsoft Windows. Sysprep is a tool that is designed for system administrators, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and others who must automatically deploy the Windows operating system on multiple computers. After you perform the initial setup steps on a single computer, you can run the Sysprep tool to prepare the sample computer for cloning or use it as a backup on static machines. Here you can learn more about sysprep, but basicly it is just a microsoft thing that has nothing what so ever to do with TSM. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/incremental/sysprep11.asp when you talk about capacity of system drive is that the assigend capacity or the data that you are using?. at least if you where to enter the command prompt and run this command from the root c:\ dir /S you should see how mutch data you have acculy in use on your system. and that data should be somewhere around the bytes transfered from the tsm report.

Ok Aaron you can find the sofware on this ftp site to download for free ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/server/v5r3/ you can then setup your tsm server and configure it, and when you revicve the accual cd´s you only need to replace one file to make it a licensed version it think the filename is adsmlic.dll (windows) or something like that. now there is no one correct way in deploying TSM, you need to configure it based on your needs. i recomend you read the 2 ibm redbooks IBM Tivoli Storage Management Concepts, SG24-4877-03 and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Guide. I storngly recomend that you plan your installation carefully, a good tsm install is essential for everything, both regarding cost and managment.

Hello Everyone! Due to our tape drive shortage I have added a tremendous amount of disk to hold the data for 24 hours. It appears as if now it is taking a very long time for the disk pools to migrate to tape and processes are still backing up and causing contention with backups of the client data sometimes of up to 10 hours. How can I resolve this issue so that the clients receive a quick backup and do not have I/O contention? I thought that adding more disk would help because the landing spot for the data is now a larger disk pool that can house all of the data, but it seems like it's hitting it's 70% full mark and when I came in this morning the disk pool was up to 95% full, there are many clients that are waiting to write their backups and everything is locked up. Any suggestions would be appreciated! I don't know what to do for this environment any longer and I am not allowed to buy tape drives. Thank you in advance!

Re: AW: [ADSM-L] Migration Speed Has Plummeted
Joni Yes Reed is correct there. This is only one of 3 problems, your raid configuration on your sata disks. the size of your TSM attrigates. or the placements of diskvolumes versus the accual phicial disks. for instance if you have more than 2 volumes per phicial disk and you are doing backup on eatch volume you will hit a bottleneck on the I/O because of the head of the disk will be doing nothing more than jumping from one write operation to another. the same goes with read to tape.

We have 25 volumes that are 35GB each in size, for a total of 875GB. But I must stress that this is on FastT disk which are FC. I have seen postings where people have considerably more volumes defined. However, as posts have said, the SATA disks are designed for their 'sequential' nature and I believe that the more concurrent reads/writes that you put through them, the performance degrades. You say that you have 1TB of SATA disk, but you don't mention the size/number of the disks. For example, if the 1TB was comprised of 4 x 250GB drives, it may well be worth only configuring 4 migration threads, to maximise the sequential nature of the disks. Ie 1 disk sequentially writing to one tape. Again, this is only theory, as I don't know that the internals of TSM will function in this way. Also, I haven't considered whether or not you have RAID'd the disks. You mention that it is EMC disk and I assume that it is from the CX range. It may well be worth speaking to EMC to ask if you can tune the performance of the controllers for the type of I/O that TSM is doing.

If you go to section 3.4.6, it discusses some changes in TSM 5.3 that lend themselves to 'disk only backups' Obviously, if you're not at 5.3 yet, then they may not be of use to you. I personally would consider SATA disk as a possible replacement to sequential tape, but I would still use good quality fast disk as traditional 'random' disk pool to stage the nightly backups. I think that it is widely recognised that significantly 'slicing up' the diskpool into a large number of smallish volumes, greatly improves performance (certainly on the backup). I believe that this is because of the 'multi-threaded' nature of TSM. I would imagine that the config for the best performance of SATA disk as random TSM backuppool, would be to configure each SATA disk as a single TSM volume within the backuppool and ensure that you have enough SATA disks/backuppool volumes as you have sessions in at the same time. However, with SATA disk capacity increasing rapidly, it's not efficient to have a 100 x 250GB SATA disks (100 TSM volumes) sitting in your backuppool, that only ever get 10% utilised. I must state that this is just my opinion, I have no direct experience with SATA disks. Leigh
Re: Disk Pool Volume Configuration
Ben is absulutly correct here in my oppinion, raw volumes are beter. Even though aix has the best I/O perfomance is not as good as raw volumes. you need be a good AIX administrator to tune the filesystem to be as good as raw. I do alsow agree with Ben on to take earch LUN a volume and to put them in one storage pool. you could put 2 volumes per LUN but it that depends on the perfomance on the SATA disks versus your network load and your tape perfomance.

I see you are making all those luns into 1 LV, putting a filesystem on that vol and then putting it in the storage pool. I would not do it that way. I would make each LUN a volume and then put it in the storagepool, and not aggregate them together. TSM seems to use a round-robin approach to using volumes in a diskpool, as you can see a single session go from vol to vol, so by aggregating them into 1 big device, I think you kind of blow this load distribution method that TSM uses internally, as each session will hit that one filesystem/volume and all the disks at the same time. Yucky performance would be my guess. In addition to that, from my experience, using the devices as RAW volumes rather than filesystems gives you better throughput on a typical install. If you are into VM tuning and calculating the filesystem cacheing attributes, how to tune the read ahead buffers, etc, etc, you can get filesystems to run better, but it takes more tinkering, tweaking and monitoring. I just add the raw AIX volume right into the storage pool and it works great. i.e. here is a storagepool with a bunch volumes. Each volume is 1 18GB disks mirrored at the OS level and then put into the storage pool as a raw device. tsm: TSMSERV1Aq vol stg=db_diskpool Volume Name Storage Device Estimated Pct Volume Pool NameClass Name Capacity Util Status (MB) --- -- - - /dev/rstglv01DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,344.0 61.8 On-Line /dev/rstglv02DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 41.4 On-Line /dev/rstglv04DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 36.6 On-Line /dev/rstglv05DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 65.9 On-Line /dev/rstglv06DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 62.8 On-Line /dev/rstglv07DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 61.0 On-Line /dev/rstglv08DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 64.2 On-Line /dev/rstglv09DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 49.4 On-Line /dev/rstglv10DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 54.6 On-Line /dev/rstglv13DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 44.8 On-Line /dev/rstglv15DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 46.1 On-Line /dev/rstglv16DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 71.9 On-Line /dev/rstglv17DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 77.7 On-Line /dev/rstglv18DB_DISKPOOL DISK 34,688.0 24.4 On-Line /dev/rstglv19DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 44.8 On-Line /dev/rstglv20DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,280.0 61.5 On-Line /dev/rstglv27DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,344.0 50.2 On-Line /dev/rstglv28DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,344.0 48.3 On-Line /dev/rstglv30DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,344.0 58.7 On-Line /dev/rstglv31DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,344.0 59.5 On-Line /dev/rstglv32DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,344.0 40.9 On-Line /dev/rstglv33DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,344.0 50.1 On-Line /dev/rstglv34DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,344.0 43.4 On-Line /dev/rstglv35DB_DISKPOOL DISK 17,344.0 57.9 On-Line ... You likely won't want to do OS mirroring for the TSM DB, for other reasons talked about in the manuals and in the archives for this listserv, but it's the only way for me to protect from disk failure using JBOD.

Re: JR- Backup sets
Trimark there is no best practice for creating a backup set for windows or NetWare. I guess you know how to make them, but how frequiently and on witch media is entirely based on case by case basis. it´s kinda like asking what your favorate color is, it varies form administrator to administrator and from one customer to another and varies even from client importance to another. I myself would find it good practice to make backupsets of system partitions and make them on media that dont not require adtional drivers during basic install (only deviceses that are supported in the Harware Qompatability List in windows) of the system, DVD for instance, I would make sequental acces disk pool that has max size of 4.6 gig volumes (or the maximum dvd size you have) and burn it on DVD, that way is not good of course if you have large filesystems to make backupsets. but this is only my opinion and is by no means the right way or beter than any other.

Server-Free Backup is it for real or is it just a Hype
Hi Guys. I want to start a discussion on Server-Free Backup. Server-Free backup is to bee the holy grail in SAN backup. Server free backup is just when you tell something on the san backup these files, and it will copy disk to disk or disk to tape or what ever you want. This will make use of the SCSI 3´rd party command (XCOPY), and it´s real easy to write code that can recive that command and do the read and write because all the work is done, because it all comes down to i want this track and block copyed to this device. Whats hard to do is to build that command in the fist place. File space has to bee written such that they will accept a request for a 3´rd party copy command and they haft to have a API so that the applications know that it´s possible or the application has to go around the file system and write directly to the SCSI adapter and then it got to figure out where all those files are. So the kind of Server Free Backup going on today is realy full volume backup where it´s jst block 0, block 1, blcok 2 and its more of a Server Free dump than a Server Free Backup. So my point is that when you use software to do a block level backup on the SAN. I belive that hardware, where you have firmware microcode will always be better than software. kinda like hardware raid vs software raid. I dont see any true benefits from using Server Free backup because today you´ll alwayes bee bound to full volume backup, and there are usualy mutch beter deviceses out on the san that can do that. The only scenario i see where Server Free backup would be acceptable is when you can start doing a file level backup. but that just isn´t possible today. I belive Server Free backup is just a sales hype, Server Free isn´t ready and wont be for many years to come. Please share your thoughts on my statement.

Everything went smoothly. It even rebuilt the new path configurations for the tapes and drives by itself. I didn't have the cleanup backupset issue because this TSM server only backs up some VMS clusters, so I had no SYSTEM OBJECTS. I most likely will not be so lucky in 2 weeks when I have to upgrade some TSM servers that backup NT hosts) I've only encountered 1 problem this far: I gather some stats off of the TSM server with various scripts. When I run these scripts, I typically put a /dev/null on the end, otherwise it gets to the first (ENTER to continue, 'C' to cancel) prompt and just sits there. As a simple example: dsmadmc -id=## -pass=## select volume_name from volumes where devclass_name like '3590DEV' /dev/null (to get a listing of tape numbers of a certain device class). This has always worked in the past but now that I'm at 5.1, it gets to the first (ENTER to continue, 'C' to cancel) prompt and then perpetually spews: ... The character '#' stands for any decimal integer.The only valid responses are characters from this set: [Enter, C] The character '#' stands for any decimal integer.The only valid responses are characters from this set: [Enter, C] The character '#' stands for any decimal integer.The only valid responses are characters from this set: [Enter, C] ... It seems to dislike the /dev/null very much. Anybody seen this? Is there a better way to do this? I'm guessing there is, otherwise it would be in the archives. Something like a -youdonthavetohittheenterkey option. Somebody enlighten me. ;-) Thanks, Ben This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by MessageLabs.

Sorry for the disappointing answer. It might be really better for your customer to pay for SAN Data Gateway module.

Re: create additional diskpool in adsm3.1 on AIX problem
Hmm look at this ANR7864W (AIX) Unable to write volume file name. Explanation: The server was attempting to create a file with the indicated name. The server was able to partially write to the file before running out of space. System Action: The server continues processing. The file creation request fails. The file is still present on the system. User Response: Specify a new file name where there is sufficient space. Ok this is what you gotta do. go to the filesystem /bfaa1dk3 and issue the rm command on the file you where trying to create. Then try to reissue the command and try a smaller volume this time just try like 2 mb size, if it works then you know that the problem is your size, del the 2mb volume and reissue ther rm command on the 2mb file and try creating a real vomume next. be sure you have enugh space for the file on your filesystem. That should take care of it.

NODE NAME DOMAIN PLATFORM MBYTES CONECTIONS -- -- - --- --- URDUR VIDWinNT 1909.65 1 PERLAN VIDWinNT 1446.82 1 there is something wrong with this picture, I have around 40 clients on this site and they either don't show up or they show only one connection to the database, when I know that there has been more connections. this is the script I am using for this task. select summary.entity as NODE NAME, nodes.domain_name as DOMAIN, nodes.platform_name as PLATFORM, cast((cast(sum(summary.bytes) as float) / 1024 / 1024) as decimal(10,2)) as MBYTES , count(*) as CONECTIONS from summary ,nodes where summary.entity=nodes.node_name and summary.activity='BACKUP' and start_time current_timestamp - 1 day group by entity, domain_name, platform_name order by MBytes desc here it is again: select summary.entity as NODE NAME, nodes.domain_name as DOMAIN, nodes.platform_name as PLATFORM, cast((cast(sum(summary.bytes) as float) / 1024 / 1024) as decimal(10,2)) as MBYTES , count(*) as CONECTIONS from summary ,nodes where summary.entity=nodes.node_name and summary.activity='BACKUP' and start_time current_timestamp - 1 day group by entity, domain_name, platform_name order by MBytes desc Ok I know there are some great SQL guys out there, like Paul Seay and other SQL gurus.

We're using something like SELECT * FROM EVENTS ... and things like SELECT NODE_NAME, LASTACC_TIME FROM NODES and SELECT NODE_NAME, FILESPACE_NAME, (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP-BACKUP_END) DAYS AS Days_Since_Backup FROM FILESPACES WHERE CAST((CURRENT_TIMESTAMP-BACKUP_END) DAYS AS DECIMAL) = 30 ORDER BY Days_Since_Backup What we need is a single, consolidated report that lists all our client nodes and the (real) status of the morning's backup run. Query Events (and the Select * from Events ...) will tell us if the scheduled backup was Completed, Missed, or Failed. From our experience, Completed only means that the scheduled command actually completed, not that it was truly successful. By way of exmple, we use a scheduled command script to drive our Domino TDP backups. The script invokes the DOMDSMC command to actually perform the backup. DOMDSMC may fail miserably, but as long as the invoking (scheduled) script completes, the status of the backup shows Complete. (We now pass a bad RC from the script if DOMDSMC returns a bad RC). For our Oracle TDP backups, I believe there is a way to issue a SELECT against the Oracle (RMAN?) instance to determine the state of the most recent backup. Our Help Desk needs to determine if a backup for a given node actually completed successfully, and if it failed, they need to determine the cause (all without having exceptional knowledge of TSM). I'm sure this problem has been addressed by many sites in many ways. Our ideal solution would be a number of SELECTs, which we could drop in a CGI script on some Web Server. Any words of advice?

Re: Optimal VMTUNE Guidelines for a TSM Server
Hey Seay, here are a few hints on vmtune. Provided in the bos.adt.samples fileset found in /usr/samples/kernel (not in default path) Contorles varius aspects of the AIX virutal memory system. The virtual memory system contorls most filesystem activity on AIX. Changes to vmtune parameters do not surive reboot. But A line can be added to /etc/inittab so that vmtune settings are set upon reboot. If AIX detects that file reading is happening sequentially it can read ahead even though the application has not (yet) requested that data. Helps large file backup on AIX clients and helps storage pool migrations from disk on an AIX TSM server. When altering the read ahead parameter (-R) you must also alter the maxfree parameter (-F) so that there is enough free memory to store the read ahead data. The following equation MUST HOLD: minfree + maxpgahead = maxfree I reccomend the maximum: -R256 If you look at vmtune - minperm/maxperm it detemens how mutch memory AIX sets aside for file system cache. AIX can/will throw out application like TSM memory in favor of caching filesystem data. This can cause paging of the database buffer pool leading to slow database perfomance. Paging of the database buffer pool can cause database cahce hit statisitics to ber overly ooptimistic. TSM dos not often take adcantage of any filesystem caching. So i recomend you to lowvering the maxperm will make AIX retain more application memmory. Most VM paging on a TSM (only) server can be stopped by modifying the minperm/maxperm parameters. Exeption: RAM constrained systems and database buffer pool size is to large. Good starting poing is setting aside a max of 50% (-P50) for filesystem caching instead of the default of 80%. Lower further if no effective, this changes can be done on the fly. As maxperm approaches minperm, consider lowering minperm as well and watch vmstat for progress, if po´s go to zero pi´s will eventually lower as well. Ok i know of 2 good books that cover this concepts. Please read this readbook IBM Certifacation Study Guide AIX Perfomance and System Tuning. and this book, (this is not a redbook and you need to buy it) AIX Perfomance Tuning, by Frank Waters.

The defaults are not good on a large server. The suggestion is figure out how much memory does dsmserv need and then work from there. So lets take the example of a 2G server with a buffer pool of 256MB and an overall memory requirement of 400MB. That would make you think there is about 1.6GB left around. Problem is the default filesystem maxperm is 80% of the 2GB or about 1.6GB. This would mean nothing left for the rest of the processes, thus lots of paging. I am thinking a buffer of about 128MB should be in there. So, in this case, maybe set maxperm to 65%. The real question is what other vmtune knobs should be considered in a TSM server. The IO prefetch, large or small? Is there a book on how to do this? ETC ETC. Paul D. Seay, Jr. Technical Specialist Naptheon Inc. 757-688-8180

We are getting complaints that the data should stay on the disks thewhole day for restorations. I was thinking about pushing it out to 4:30. And then of course we have expiration and the reclamations and the db backup. So what should be the order of these? We have 30gb for our backuppool. whichleads to the second question. 2.

Re: Backup of 300 GB Data within 12 Hours
Hi Sascha Bräuning Yes we are doing it in a few places, and I don't recommend using your LAN for it. I one place we insert another LAN adapter in the client and the TSM server and made a dedicated LAN just for those huge clients - This is the cheap way out of the situation. if you are dealing with one huge file, that is 300 gig of data that is a database or something like that I strongly recommend you to consider SAN, that is the professional way. hope this helps.

Re: Archive or monthly capability for TDP MS-SQL and MS-Exchange
Dear Mr Donald It is not possible to archive data from SQL and Exchange. I hasn´t hear anything about that IBM will make this feature possible. Old SQL data and old Excahnge data is useless. the only reason for you to use this kind of data is perhaps that 2 years from now you would like to know how your databases looked like in 2002. I think Oracle has a interface that creates a snapshot of your database, oracle then dumps the data to files. Im not enugh database guru to know this in depth but perhaps microsoft has a utility like this one.

TSM Encryption, Again :)
Hi everyone. For those who don't remember this discussion a few months ago here is some update. A few months ago we had a chance to offer TSM to one of the largest company here. Soon it became obvious that security where a large concern to them. They asked a lot of Encryption questions witch we couldn't answer right away. So there where some long and helpful discussions about this issue here on adsm.org. we gave them the information they wanted and they agreed to take TSM as there Backup system. I would like to thank you who answered the pervious posts, a lot of our success and win are because of your help and ideas. Now the implementation is well on it's way. The Security team has been reading up on the security issue in TSM, they have found that the 56 bit DES encryption protocol isn't good enough for them. They want to have 3 DES or AES. They are willing to implement it them self to TSM if Tivoli will let them. I have one question for you geniuses out there. Are there any others who need this kind of security out there?

Dear Mr Eduardo. TSM isn't build to backup with this system that is Grandpa,Father,Son system. I would never recommend this kind of configuration. You should configure your system so that you can cover the whole time Spam you need. You will reduce tremendous cost in tapes with that kind of configuration. When you think of TSM you need to think outside of other backup systems you know. because TSM doesn't handle tape expiration like the other systems. TSM expire on file-level (the way it should be). using tape expiration on TSM is a brutal rape on TSM. I recommend you to use only one opt file and, be sure you can cover the whole time you need in your expire configuration. If you think that will be to much data, consider to binding only the important data to the include/exclude option with client option set with multiple management classes.

We use Bill's method below to report on all events taht do not have a status of completed. (We only used to report on exceptions also ...) If you are worried about some files that were not processed then completed does not tell you what you want (for incrementals on 4.x clients and below). Here you will have to do additional queries to report on these failed objects. With archives and selective backups however, files in use will report as failed (can't confirm if other failed files will) (again 4.x and below) so that is covered here. Now, with 5.1, incrementals, archives, and selectives all report completed if files are not processed because of some error. But with incrementals you can now check the return code: 4 = files skipped (doesn't count files excluded by exclude statements). But with selectives and archives rc=4 could simply mean that your exclude statements are working so now you will have to do additional queries to report on failed objects here. We also do queries on file spaces as was mentioned that reports when the last backup completed. We've had at least one occasion where security was changed on an NT drive so that the System Account no longer had access (that is what the TSM scheduler was using). Here the backup status showes completed but the filespace in question did not get backed up and the file space query picked it up.

The status is '(?)'. There is an APAR open to have meaningful status's instead of the '(?)', but for now this doesn't show as an EXCEPTION. We got bit big-time at a client of our where they out-sourced the entire TSM operation to us. They were having failures, but they were not showing on our EX=YES report. They were not happy campers!

Um, why would you need the key? Your question is a little too vague to answer properly. The key is only needed for two steps: encryption, and decryption (ie backup, then restore). Every other operation the TSM server does (store, copy, move, collocate, expire) is done with the encrypted files. The TSM server doesn't care what the contents of the file are, it just moves the files around according to the policies that have been defined. Like I said previously -- this opens up the entire issue of a key repository -- if a user misplaces, forgets, or the key files on the individuals PC are destroyed, the data is *gone*.

Files that were encrypted when they were backed up can not be restored without the encryption key. The encryption key is not stored on the TSM server. Therefore, someone intercepting the TSM server database and storage pool volumes could not restore the data without the encryption key (unless they can hack it, but then any encryption scheme is subject to hacking).

Gartner Research article, Puts TSM in Second Place, for the Best Enterprize Backup Solution!
What do you guys think about this article? Source: Gartner Research As the amount of storage being backed up continues to grow exponentially and tight budgets increase the importance of improving staff productivity and utilization rates, the following trends have become obvious: the move to enterprisewide backup/restore solutions; the ubiquitous deployment of replication technology; the deployment of SAN-attached tape and disk; and a renewed interest in HSM technologies that manage data growth and circumvent the architectural limits of Exchange. Comments on companies in each of the four quadrants follow. Leaders Quadrant: Veritas Software, IBM/Tivoli, Legato Systems and Hewlett-Packard (HP) are delivering products with broad server, tape and storage support, and with software agent support for popular ISV packages such as Oracle, Exchange, Notes, SAP and SQL Server. These products also offer consolidated administration, scalability, deployment flexibility and HSM options to improve storage utilization rates and staff productivity. Veritas and Tivoli are the current market leaders, delivering highly scalable solutions with good to excellent support. Veritas continues to lead the market with its NetBackup product, capturing enterprise backup leadership in 2000 based on new license revenue. Backup Exec is positioned as a workgroup product. Veritas leads in integration with all of the key storage array vendors' replication technologies, and the company offers the related data protection options that customers may require for a complete data management solution, including e-mail attachment archiving, HSM and Internet backup products. Veritas' competitors have made significant strides in filling the technology gap and, with improved execution, could still change their positioning in this quadrant, especially when Veritas' high pricing is an issue. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) still benefits from the large IBM sales force and partner community, although the delivery of new functionality has been late. Legato launched NetWorker v.6.01, which provides a new indexing architecture that has apparently addressed many of the code quality issues that caused customer dissatisfaction with earlier releases. The company has aggressively worked to move customers to the new release and has improved its customer satisfaction ratings. The new company management team has delivered modest, but steady, revenue growth, stabilizing the financial picture, but leaving improved marketing as the next challenge. NetWorker supports the Change Journal feature in Windows 2000 to improve the performance of incremental backups and minimize CPU utilization, the GEMS Console is now available for global management of NetWorker servers, and media management functionality has been strengthened through the acquisition and increased integration of AlphaStor technology from SCH Technologies. HP continues to successfully sell Omniback II into its installed base. Scalability and code quality problems that affected earlier versions of Omniback II appear to have been addressed with Omniback II v.4.0, although it must still be market-validated. The product is getting good ease-of-use and reporting rankings, now supports NDMP v.2, and offers a new instant-recovery capability to manage recovery from split-mirror images. Challengers Quadrant: To be in the Challengers quadrant, a vendor must not only have vision, but also the ability to become a significant player in the market. Vendors in this quadrant should be able to move eventually into the Leaders quadrant if they deliver on both vision and execution. EMC's EMC Data Manager (EDM) backup solution has seen strong growth, with an increased company sales focus, as EMC organizes for a stronger role as a storage software provider outside of the Symmetrix environment. One-third of the product's customer base does not have Symmetrix in the backup environment today, and 46 percent of the customers purchased the software only, not the hardware/software solution package (although a Symmetrix disk is required for staging of backup on the backup server). EDM is being integrated into the suite of EMC software management solutions, with the first and tightest integration being with the new EMC ControlCenter Replication Manager product announced October 2001. Computer Associates International (CA) has recently introduced its BrightStor Enterprise Backup solution, which has the look and feel of BrightStor ARCserve backup, a product that the company now positions as a workgroup solution. BrightStor reads and writes tapes that are ARCserve-compatible. This suggests an early focus on retaining ARCserve customers moving into enterprise-class solutions and on improving support capabilities, which have been a weakness in the past. The company is also looking to move the installed base of Alexandria and UniCenter Advanced Storage Option customers to the new BrightStor backup product. The product is new and without

They do not support Brick Level layer backup, simply because ALL 3rd party vendor's DO NOT use M.S.'s MAPI for the brick's. They all use their own version as a gentleman stated in past e-mails. However, They Do support ONLINE backups with any 3rd party vendors software. WHY? because they all use M.S.'s MAPI to do it. So this only leaves us to backup up PST files, and do restore- import - copy over (or copy up) to existing user mail box. So, to answer your question: Since you can not do Brick level backup/restores, you should at least backup the PST files. and no, you do not have to restore the entire Info Store. Now TSM says to do an entire duplicate Exchange server build in order to recover your mail. Here is what M.S. has suggested. Schedule CMD files with the AT command (or WinAT) to use EXmerge utility (Exchange resource kit). Export them to a PST file, import them into a personal folder and copy up the data needed. Now you can get as fancy as you want with the CMD files and piping them to a TXT file for Exmerge and what it is doing (makes for a good Exchange Admin log). Keep in mind though. Not only do you need enough H.D.D. space for the offline defrags but you also need to have enough H.D.D. space for the PST files. How much? Well if your database is 4 gb? then you need at least that amount to run defrag plus (if you are using Exmerge on entire Exchange server mailboxes) 1.5(x's) the space for the exported PST's. All together (doing the math), using the 4gb base #, you will need 10gb of free space, in order to do all this. Yes, also keep in mind

Actually Mark, what I wrote came straight from M.S. And yes the MAPI is used to do online backups. How else would your backup software system (i.e. Arcserve 2000) be able to see the Information Store? As far as the difference of MAPI/API? MAPI's are sub-sets of API's. MAPI just like a AVAPI (or VAPI). MAPI's are not old at all, they are still being used (from 3rd party vendors) so I do not know what you meant by older Microsoft Mail client. Yes MAPI is the API call that is used to look at the database in a 3 dimensional sort of way, but it is not M.S.'s MAPI. It is a 3rd party MAPI. However, you do not have to restore entire information store in order to get back one or more mailboxes or folders with in a mailbox. You run Exmerge, export to a PST file. That gets backed up as a regular file. You then can go from there as to what you need from that PST file and how you use it. For example: (from personal experience) the mailbox was corrupted. I re-created the mailbox exactly how it was before. Then logged in to initialize the new mailbox, created a personal folder, and imported my entire PST into that personal folder. Then I methodically copied up what I needed. (i.e. inbox, calendar, etc...). Without mincing words, a PST is a personal folder, yes, but you still need a place to import it to, and that place is a personal folder in outlook. However, the only problem was the public folders. We still needed an agent for those. As a matter of fact, I have not done testing on how to backup/restore Pub Folders with-out and agent. :-( -Original Message- From: Remeta, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent

During my LTO vs. SDLT performance testing, I discovered my first bottleneck at the RAID5 array. I was surprised by this to some extent as I didn't expect it to be so bad. So enter RAID for storage pools cautiously. We are using RAID in our configurations, but only for the OS and DB/Log volumes. We're using JBOD for storage pool volumes. As for your specific questions, I don't have the answer. Remember that TSM is going to stripe data on the volumes: a client will write txngroupmax files per volume and move to the next (typically. This may vary a bit, but you get the idea). Since it is striping the data, you want to be careful how much you stripe it underneath. Lots of head thrashing can occur. Kelly J.

Re: Has anyone been able to get an AIX mksysb backup to backup to TSM -lto or tape using tsm
The only diffrence between mksysb and the backup command is this. mksysb Tape has 4 Sectors BOS Boot Image Blocksize=512 Witch holds: Kernel, Device Drivers mkinsttape image Bloksize=512 Witch holds: ./image.data, /tapeblksz, /bosinst.data, commands dummy.toc Blockzise=512 Witch holds: Dummy TOC (dosen´t do anything) and last Tape Drive BS witch holds: rootvg data. (this data is exactly the same as you would use the backup command) Now the first 3 sectors canot be used when restoring TSM. you can however backup this data with the DD command, but for what use? what i am saying is this. the advantece of mksysb goes the minute you can´t boot from the tape and you can´t boot a mksyb in TSM, becuase TSM handels these 3 fist sectors as they where ordenary data.

I'm I running beta code here? ;-) Thanks in advance for your reply!

We are now backuping up 1 unix server and 12 Windows clients (Windows 2000 Server, SP2). We are using TSM Server 4.2.1.9 on a Unix server (S7A) and use TSM Client 4.2.1.20 on all the windows clients. We use a 3583 Ultrium Tape Lib, with 2 drives. Problem 1 : Unfortunately we have problems with the TSM Client on 3 of our Windows machines, - 1 machine fails to start the TSM Scheduler service during boottime, if we start it manually, it runs, but crashes several times during backup. (we do an autorestart, if the service fails) - the other 2 machines always start the backup, but the client (tsm scheduler) crashes after a certain time, are amount of files. There is not really a fixed point where the service crashes. If backup is launched from the scheduler, dsmsvc.exe crashes, if we start the backup manually with dsmc incr, dmsc.exe crashes. Does anybody know what the fastest way is to solve this ? Problem 2 : - During migration from disk to tape, I can see (on the display) that the 2 tapedrives are not constantly writing data to tape, it's always writing for a short period of time, waiting for a longer period, writing, and so on ... Is this normal ? Is there anything I can check or do ? Shouldn't the tapestreamers really stream data from disk ? I know our situation is not ideal (the whole diskpool is on 1 disk), but it is on another scsi-bus than the tapestreamers. Thank you very much in advance (sorry for all my questions, but this is just my second TSM installation), Wouter Verschaeve, Unix System Engineer.

I have expirience in both AIX and Windows and I would recomend to you to have Your TSM Server in the environment you are confortable with, But. AIX works and performs better than Windows but that´s mainly because the Backup system was written for the AIX environment and then compiled over to Windows. The Windows server needs more maintenance, but the AIX Server need maintenance too, so unless you have good experience in the OS or have good support on it close by, don´t go to AIX. The worst thing about TSM on Windows is that you need a more CPU power than you need on the AIX, and the TSM Server seems to hang from time to time when you are working on it. Exaple, last week i was extending the database and the TSM Server froze, that would never had happend if it where AIX. I have been supporting TSM in all kind of OS for a long time and my opinion is this. On the scale from 1 to 10 AIX WINDOWS Performance10 6 Maintenance 5 4 Up-Time 10 6 User-Friendly 310 Hi-End-Enviroment92 Low-End-Enviroment 99 So the bottom line is if you are going to need Cluster, HACP (The AIX Cluster), and you think you are going to support a Large Network where the Load and Perfomance on youre TSM Server is 24/7, Don´t go to Windows, you will have to mutch trouble maintaning the Windows version of TSM. But if youre TSM Server isn´t going to bee that big than chose Windows, it´s mutch simpler in maintenance and easy to use. Where i mean big networks i am meaning an enviorment where you are going to have more then 2 TSM Server´s with Server to Server and or in a Cluster env, more than 4 LTO or 6 DLT or 8 Magstar drives, a library that holdes more than 10 Ters of data and finaly a Server that has more than 50 gigs of database. If youre network sounds something like this i recomend AIX. this senario is complex and it is alsow complex in maintenance so then youre TCO Total Cost of Ownership will benefit to hire a AIX expirienced Unix Specialist rather than take on a journey with Windows where youre budged goes down the drain in maintenance cost.
