What's often overlooked in the dollar-sign pursuit of cheaper Linux systems what you have to deal with after the acquisition. What are called Linux systems are in reality boxes whose lineage is MS-DOS and Windows, and whose design clings to antiquated elements of that history. Remember being forced to deal with the arcane thing called BIOS in 1981? Well, it's still there, always ready to confuse configuration issues and confound the use of differing hardware with the system. (And, lo unto those who overlook updating the BIOS.) AIX, Mac, and other modern platforms avoid that nonsense. And, with commercial operating systems you get sane, directed evolution in changes over time, unlike the capricious changes made by contributors in the highly volatile and eccentric Linux OS. I've worked with AIX for over a decade, and also work with Linux...where I shake my head in dismay when I go to work with or program for that OS environment. Funny, I shake my head in dismay when I have to work in an AIX environment. :-) We moved from a F50 running TSM server on AIX a few years ago to a Linux system a few years back. Our backup system is completely disk based so I can not comment on the stability of the tape drivers. Richard Sims

TSM client problem with Novell Autoexec.ncf
Novell has a beta patch out now that should fix the problem. Haven't tried yet. - Fixed a problem where FileServername and cluster names were not able to be gathered by uname() until after autoexec.ncf had run. This affected products like IBM Tivoli's backup agents from being loaded properly in the Autoexec.ncf. http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/2973643.htm

Re: Moving TSM from one platform to another
I am currently replacing an ADSM 3.1.2.90 AIX sever with a TSM 5.1.5.x Linux server. My solution was to export the server and policies without any file data. I created a file device on an NFS filesystem and have been exporting/importing a node at a time. If you have the ability to run two servers at the same time and have an NFS server with enough disk space this may be the way to go. Prather, Wanda wrote: Yes, it's ugly. Yes, as far as I know, exporting all the client data is the only supported method. Yes, it's a HECK of a lot of work. Yes, it takes your 2000 tapes, creates 2000 portable tapes, which get imported to create 2000 tapes. I forget which version of TSM you are running; starting in 5.1, you can export directly to from one server to another. You set up a server-to-server definition, and transmit the data rather than using sequential media. (And that may actually be slower than creating the export tapes.) I've done it with sequential media, and with server-to-server (I was going AIX to Windoze). Neither is pleasant. My recommendation: Just export/import your archives, and any old filespaces that are not replaceable. Point the clients to the new server, and let them start fresh with backups. Keep the old server around for n months; if the clients need to restore older data, they can always point their dsm.opt back to the old server for restoring for n months. I will probably take you n months to do all the import/exports, anyway :( If you find a better way, I would love to hear about it! -Original Message- From: Gerald Wichmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 5:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Moving TSM from one platform to another Is it possible to move from MVS to AIX without having to export all client node data so long are your storage device is the same on both environments? i.e. if my current environment has 2000 tapes full of client data, and I want to move my environment from MVS to AIX, do I essentially have to export 2000 tapes, create 2000 new tapes, and import those 2000 new tapes to my AIX environment to read the client data (thus creating another 2000 tapes)?

Unless you can help I might have to. Here's the problem. Server Version 5.2.0.2 on Redhat 9 Client Version 5.1.6.2 on Redhat 7.3 The TSM server has no tape library or drive but is totally file based (400GB using software raid0) Client backups are done via the crontab using /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc incr The server just hangs during a client backup operation.nothing in the activity report. Eventually the client times out but unfortunately the dsmc incr stays in the process queue. The next day, cron dutifully fires off another backup and so it goes. Eventually after a call from a frustrated customer, I have to start the server manually and run the backup manually. (Seriously not good!!) Also, if a backup is running and you happen to do one too many q act requests, the server hangs. By the way, only the TSM application hangs, not Linux itself. Has anyone experience with Linux TSM server and seen similar problems? Regards Mark

Re: Anyone do IDE for spool disks?
We use NFS mounted, 8 disk 3ware IDE Raid We are using a 3ware IDE Raid card with 8 IDE disks that we NFS mount from the TSM server. The only part that goes to tape is copy storage pools. Haven't had any problems with this setup. Alexander Lazarevich wrote: Hi, We are getting TSM 5.1 server, and want to run it on a linux box. Our library will probably be the OVerland Storage Neo 4100 with LTO-2 drives. We also want to have some spool space, and SCSI is the first thought. But since IDE is getting cheaper and faster, I'm wondering if anyone has tried out IDE as spool disks between the PC and the tape library. We could go with either software or hardware RAID 0 (striping), which would further increase the IDE performance. We also plan on upgrading our network to Gigabit in a few months, so we don't want the spool disks to be the bottleneck. But since SCSI still outperforms IDE in relation to concurrent operations, which the spool disks will most likely be doing (I.E. writting from network, reading to tape), then maybe IDE is a bad idea.

Re: licensing costs
Coats, Jack wrote: snip Reciently I heard from my VAR, that TSM NT/2K and Novell clients are all now priced on a per processor basis. Where previously on these the client was for up to 4 processors, and after that you went to a different teir of pricing. Now a single processor client cost more than a non-processor specific client did 6 months ago. Can anyone explain how having more than one processor in a server has anything to do with how much it costs to back it up? grumble As much as I like TSM, IMHO, they need to figure out how they want to price it, and publish that mechagnism for everyone to understand. Also, the current pricing structure is pretty bad. Everytime I look at getting a few more clients, it makes me want to re-evaluate using TSM at all from a financial perspective. /grumble

Re: Platform migration
Jason, What version of TSM/ADSM are you running on AIX currently? We were planning on migrating from ADSM 3.1.2.90 running on AIX 4.3 to TSM 5.1.5.x running on Linux. However we were shocked to find out that IBM now charges $750 CDN per CPU to backup servers. What kind of ridiculous licensing scheme is that? TSM has to backup the same amount of data regardless of how many processors are in the servers to be backed up. Jason Lee wrote: Hi, we are planning on migrating our TSM function from AIX to Linux. It would appear that bringing both servers to 5.X and doing a server to server export node (or many, actually :-) ) is the way to do it. This does require that *every* tape be read and a new one written though, which seems like a real pain. Is there any way to transfer the database, in such a way that data itself doesn't have to be moved? A case of beer (or two) for the best way of doing it! Thanks very much.

If you are using a copy storage pool the data on copy storage pool volumes is just a copy of the data on the primary pool volumes not a mirror of each primary copy volume. In other words the backup data for PrimVol1 (for example) will most likely be spread over many copy pool volumes.

Re: DRM Question
Fred, Primary storage pool volumes will be reclaimed as they always were. What they mean is that when a copy storage pool volume is reclaimed it stays in an empty state. This is because you have to physically bring it back from offsite storage and check it into the library again. Quoting Fred Johanson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm getting ready to install DRM for offsite storage and I'm unclear on the exact meaning of the following from the manual.

To determine which volumes to retrieve, issue the following command: query drmedia * wherestate=vaultretrieve I'm only sending a copypool offsite, and I understand this to say that all tapes that are reclaimed over the weekend will be internally changed to wherestate=vaultretrieve and that the tapes, which will have stat=empty will not be immediately deleted from the storagepool the way that empty tapes are deleted from a primary storagepool.

Re: Why diskdirs pools
The main benefit that I see is that you can backup more clients simultaneously than you have tape drives in your library. For example, if you want to backup 10 clients at the same time and only have 4 tape drives 6 of the clients will just sit there waiting for tape mounts. If they backup up to a disk pool first then you don't have this problem. Quoting Vibhute, Bandu [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Salman, It depends on how you implement DISKDIRPOOL. It takes very less space compared to file data. There are various options to keep it in primary pools. You can use cache feature and keep it in disk pool. If you are restoring from disaster DISKDIRPOOL can be restored from offsite tape first and then files.

Confusion with retention values.
Hello, I have a Backup Copy group defined as where I keep versions for 90 days and keep deleted files for 90 days (at least that what I think it should do). However I see files hanging around for more than 90 days when I do some looking. For instance there is an inactive file called 3744c320.000 that was backed up on Dec. 08, 2000. This file is older than 90 days so it should be expired. So far I have only seen this with Netware servers. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Confusion with retention values.
Yes the server is running expire at least twice a day. After further looking I notice that I am having this problem with NT clients as well. Linux, AIX, and VMS clients are working as expected. It appears as though the versions is messing up the NT and Netware clients. I say this because I have a Management Class for a NT server that is keepin 2 copies, 1 deleted copy, 30 days on both and that Management Class is working fine.

Re: Confusion with retention values.
Makes sense. I did a query on the BACKUPS table and that shows the deactivate date. Too bad the clients didn't show the deactivate date. :-) I always assumed that Retain Extra Versions = 90 meant that anything that was backed up 90 days ago would be deleted, not 90 days from the deactivation date. This way you might be able to restore something from more than 90 days ago. Makes it harder to tell your clients exactly how back you can restore from. :-) STATE LL_NAME BACKUP_DATEDEACTIVATE_DATE -- -- -- ACTIVE_VERSION 36E54BF0.000 2001-03-20 INACTIVE_VERSION 36E54BF0.000 2000-12-08 2001-02-17 INACTIVE_VERSION 36E54BF0.000 2001-02-17 2001-03-20 Quoting Andy Raibeck [EMAIL PROTECTED]: By "keep versions for 90 days", I assume you mean the RETEXTRA setting. I think the confusion may come from thinking that this setting indicates how long to keep backup versions from the time they are created (?). This is not the case; rather, RETEXTRA indicates how long to keep the backup version after it goes in inactive. So if the next backup version after the one created on December 8 was taken, say, January 8, then the 90 day count for the Dec 8 version starts on Jan 8. Thus it would be eligible for expiration on April 8 (or thereabouts if I counted 90 days correctly). The idea is that if you are doing incremental backups on a daily basis, backing files up only when they have changed, then by setting RETEXTRA to 90 days, you are helping to ensure that users can recover a file up to 90 days after they made a change that they want to undo. RETEXTRA also works in tandem with VEREXISTS. This means that there is not necessarily any guarantee that the file will be around for 90 days. For example, if the file changes every day and VEREXISTS is set to, say, 5, then on day 6 when the 6th backup is taken, the 1st backup taken on day 1 will be expired regardless of the RETEXTRA setting. On the other hand, if VEREXISTS is set to 10 but the file changes only a monthly basis, then you will never have 10 backup versions at a time because any extra (inactive) versions older than 90 days will expire. So... if you want to provide a service that will almost always guarantee that your users can recover files up to 90 days after changing them, you could set VEREXISTS to 90 (or 91 if you want to "fudge" a day). Then even if the file changes daily causing your daily backups back it up every day, you'll have that 90 day restorability. Other food for thought: sometimes uesrs want multiple backups per day. In that case, if VEREXISTS is set to 90 and you make, say, 2 backups a day, then you'll only have 45 day restorability (2 backups per day, VEREXISTS=90 means 45 days to restore the oldest version before it expires). If this goes on a lot in your shop, consider setting VEREXISTS to NOLIMIT. Then you can take as many backups as you need, and all the inactve versions will be around for 90 days after they go inactive.

Latest vesion of ADSM for AIX

Re: NIC Question
On Linux you can specifiy routes through certain cards.

We would like to utilize all 3 NIC cards for backups and restores, independently. We set up the cards according to SUN and everything seems fine on that end. However, when a backup starts off, it sends all data through the first NIC card and then when it receives data, it spans through all 3 cards. Our switch recognizes all 3 cards, but as soon as a backup begins on one of the other NICS - say for instance, 48.22, the MAC disappears and the switch no longer recognizes the card. We feel that there is something on the ADSM server side that we need to set up so that if we tell a client to do a backup and designate that the server has an IP address of xx.xx.48.22, that all communications will go through this NIC card and not touch the others. xx.xx.48.20 xx.xx.48.21 xx.xx.48.22 My question is, what is it that I need to set up on the ADSM server side, so that it uses each NIC card independently. I have placed the IP address in the opt file on the client end. Is there something that I need to do on the server end? Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks Terry

Re: NDS Backup on Netware 5.0
I do believe this is a problem with the version of TSAs in Netware 5. I am pretty sure that SP5 solves the problem. Quoting "Keith E. Pruitt" [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Can anyone tell me the correct way to backup the NDS on Netware 5.0 from the command line? Right now I'm forced to manually back it up from the web client. My dsm.opt file has the statement 'DOMAIN nds all-local' included just as I have seen suggested from the posts here. The backup user that was created has Full rights from the ROOT level all the way down. If you back up just files, there is no problem. As soon as you do an incremental of the NDS it starts and backs up everything at the root level OK but when it starts with the other OU's, none of the leaf objects keep their context and therefore fail with a message stating that there is no such entry in the directory. For instance, a user in the Chicago container named KPR should be .[ROOT].O=MBP.OU=CH.CN=KPR. The NDS backup gets to that user and reads the following 09/26/2000 17:44:07 There is no such entry in the directory. 09/26/2000 17:44:07 ANS1228E Sending of object '.[Root].O=MBP.CN=KPR' failed 09/26/2000 17:44:07 ANS1301E Server detected system error I'm wondering why does it seem like it's treating all the objects in the other containers as objects in the ROOT but the web client backup seems to be working fine?
