Query volume and move data questions
I have a number of LTO3 tape volumes as follows: 812 BKPLTO3POOL LTO3CLASS1,180,167 0.0 Full 823 BKPLTO3POOL LTO3CLASS1,433,743 0.2 Full 801 BKPLTO3POOL LTO3CLASS1,134,86837.3 Full 827 BKPLTO3POOL LTO3CLASS1,369,99249.5 Filling Unfortunately I have no LTO3 scratch volumes available at this time. When I try a move data command on volumes 812, 823 or 801 it fails because it is looking for a scratch tape. If these tapes have a percentage utilized of 0.0%, 0.2%, 37.3% and 49.5% respectively (and one of those tapes has a status of Filling) why is it looking for a scratch tape?

Details of large file backed up via TSM
I can see that TSM has backed up a file that is 140 Gb in size. However I have been unable to work out which server this file came from. I want to query the TSM database to find out some information about that file (its name, what server it was on, etc) After some research it appears that the following command will query the contents table in the database. select FILE_NAME,FILE_SIZE from contents order by FILE_SIZE DESC (DESC Specifies that the columns are sorted in descending order. - you see the biggest files at first) I know that the file size is 142,499,909,632 bytes and it is probably the largest file. The TSM query I ran over the weekend was: select FILE_NAME,FILE_SIZE from contents where FILE_SIZE 100 order by FILE_SIZE DESC /tmp/file-list The object of this command was to only list files greater than 100 bytes in size. The command ran and finished straight away so I knew it had not worked. The output in file /tmp/file-list was: Output of command redirected to file '100' ANS8001I Return code 3. ANS8002I Highest return code was 3. The output of file 100 was: ANS8000I Server command: 'select FILE_NAME,FILE_SIZE from contents where FILE_SIZE' ANR2909E The SQL statement is incomplete; additional tokens are required. Please note that it was not my intention to have output written to file 100. That number sets the lower limit of what file sizes I want to report on. If anyone could let me know what the problem was with the query above it would be appreciated.

Re: Details of large file backed up via TSM
I am aware of the potential problem you raise below which is why I scheduled it to start running at 6 am on Saturday morning as activity on the TSM server during the day on Saturday is minimal. I discovered this large file from the output of the q pr command. The file was either being moved as part of a migration or reclaimation process. I have seen it appear on a number of occasions over the past few months in these processes. Thanks Regards Paul Paul Dudley Senior IT Systems Administrator ANL Container Line Pty Limited Email: pdud...@anl.com.au Web: http://www.anl.com.au -Original Message- The greater issue: Performing a Select against the Contents table is basically suicidal: it's the worst table to query, where a query could run for days and cripple your TSM server. I would instead recommend inspecting the accounting log for a session with data of that size, and 1 or few objects. Likewise you could scan the ANE messages in the Activity Log, or have a look at the Summary table, for recent sessions. You don't say how you know about that file having been backed up: that may lead to more concise ways to determine its origin.

Make empty volume a scratch tape
I have performed a move data command on a tape volume which has worked OK and moved all the data from the tape. The pct util is 0.0, the tape is in read/write access state and the volume state is full. How can I make this a scratch tape as it has no data on it?

Re: TSM admin processes

If there are thousands of files backed up via TSM which will stay on the backup tapes in the library for a number of years probably without being required for a restore, is there a way of moving these files to tapes which can then be checked out of the library, thereby freeing up slots in the library for more scratch tapes? You could employ a two-level storage pool hierarch and MIGDelay in the upper level in conjunction with periodic migration, which would migrate old files (actually, Aggregates) which had not been recently used in restorals. Thereafter you would use the principle described in Admin Guide topic Managing a Full Library to externalize the lower level volumes. But: getting operators to respond to mount messages to return tapes to the library is problematic. Richard Sims http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ Fortunately I have the use of a second IBM Tape Library for TSM which uses LTO2 tapes. If I understand you correctly this is what I could set up: Currently my BKPPOOL is on disk and the Next Storage Pool for that is BKPLTO3POOL (LTO3 tapes). I create a new storage pool called BKPLTO2POOL on the second LTO2 tape library and make that the Next Storage Pool for BKPLTO3POOL. I then set the MIGDelay parameter for BKPLTO3POOL to 180 so that any file that has not been written or read in the past 180 days gets migrated to BKPLTO2POOL. Is that feasible?

Extend db question
This morning we received a TSM alert: The database utilization is too high. Condition (85.1 85) Recommendation: Consider a database space trigger or increase the size of the database. Going back through my daily TSM reports I have seen that the database utilization has increased from 60% to 85% over the past few months. This is to be expected as we are performing more backups than previously. Is it correct that I should use the extend db command to do this? The q db command shows that the database is 32 Gb in size. On the server I have 24 Gb of free space so I have room to extend the size of the database. The one thing that confuses me is this statement in the help extend db command: Attention: You cannot change the size of an allocated database volume after it has been defined to Tivoli Storage Manager. If you do, Tivoli Storage Manager may not initialize correctly and data could be lost. Can someone clarify this statement for me and confirm that using the extend db command is the correct way to do this. Thanks Paul Paul Dudley ANL IT Operations Dept.

OK - when I run a q db the available space in MB is 32,768, the assigned capacity in MB is 32,768 and the maximum extension in MB is 0.

There are more automatic extensions of disks, filesystems, etc. these days - and more to come. After you have formatted a DB volume with TSM, you shouldn't monkey with it at the OS level. Extend DB is what you want. Generally use size of DB volumes. As say you have (6) 4 GB dbvols defined, to use one you would enter: extend db 4000. The value is in MB. This is if you have already use def dbvol to create the vol of course. David Longo Paul Dudley [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/13/2007 7:55 PM This morning we received a TSM alert: The database utilization is too high. Condition (85.1 85) Recommendation: Consider a database space trigger or increase the size of the database. Going back through my daily TSM reports I have seen that the database utilization has increased from 60% to 85% over the past few months. This is to be expected as we are performing more backups than previously. Is it correct that I should use the extend db command to do this? The q db command shows that the database is 32 Gb in size. On the server I have 24 Gb of free space so I have room to extend the size of the database. The one thing that confuses me is this statement in the help extend db command: Attention: You cannot change the size of an allocated database volume after it has been defined to Tivoli Storage Manager. If you do, Tivoli Storage Manager may not initialize correctly and data could be lost. Can someone clarify this statement for me and confirm that using the extend db command is the correct way to do this. Thanks Paul Paul Dudley ANL IT Operations Dept.

That's the whole point - it's unqualified: you are in no way restricting the incremental backup, which proceeds on the basis of inventory comparison with prior backups. This is the most basic TSM backup, as described in the client manual: Full and partial incremental backup If you select entire file systems, you are performing a full incremental backup. If you select a directory tree or individual files, you are performing a partial incremental backup. Read through the Backing up your data section of the client manual.

Re: Checking in new tapes on new TSM tape library
It may not be a silly question as this is the first time I have tried to
load a new tape in the new 3582 unit.
We have an older 3582 unit that uses LTO2 tapes. For that unit I check
in tapes using the IO slot on the right side of the unit, loading the
tape with the barcode facing out (towards the front of the unit) so I am
doing the same for the new 3582 unit that uses LTO3 tapes. The tapes
have barcodes on them and I have tried 3 or 4 different tapes.

Taking a different approach and avoiding the IO slot I have put 5 new

I then ran the command:

Re: Weekly, Monthly, Yearly Selectives
Can you explain what you mean by: Also, as others have mentioned before, there's no need to make these monthly/yearly backups a selective(full). You can just make a 12 version 5 version management policy for the monthly yearly backups, respectively. All the backups can be incremental this way, and you save bookoo tapes DB entries (not to mention faster backups). As I have a similar issue.

If you make your normal retention policy 30 versions or more, you can at least get rid of the weekly/monthly full backups. In our case, we do 60 versions held for 60 days. So if/when we do longer term archives, it would have to be at most bi-monthly. Also, as others have mentioned before, there's no need to make these monthly/yearly backups a selective(full).

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 9/12/2006 4:12 PM Fellow TSM'rs, I have been tasked to provide a backup schedule to provide weekly, monthly, and yearly full backups for a 5 year duration. The weekly would be retained for a month, monthly for a year, and yearly for 5 years. I've created separate policies, nodenames, etc. to keep the policy retentions separate. The problem I have is the actual TSM client schedule on the server. How do I keep the weekly selective backup from running at the end of the month when the monthly selective is supposed to kickoff? Same thing for the monthly at the end of the year when the yearly selective will kickoff? I'm running TSM server 5.3.3.0 and BA 5.3.4 and I see the Enhanced Schedule capability to provide DAYOFWEEK and WEEKOFMONTH to which I can set Saturday as DAYOFWEEK and First,Second,Third as WEEKOFMONTH but some months have 4 weeks while others have 5. Also, I can't set the weekly to be every Saturday BUT the last Saturday of the month and the montly to be every last Saturday BUT the last Saturday of the year. Any suggestions?

TSM server crash
I wonder if anyone else has had a similar issue... We have a TSM server (5.2) running on a Windows 2000 server. This runs on an IBM x346 hardware. This server also has IBM Storage Management software on it which has been happily running on there for around a year. Today I also installed IBM Director on this server. To complete the installation we have to reboot the server. Upon reboot the server now crashes just as it finishes starting up Windows with unexpected_kernel_mode_trap on the blue screen of death... If we boot up the server in safe mode it boots up OK however we cannot get any TSM services to run, and it won't let me un-install IBM Director. We took all the hard disks out of this x346 and put them in another x346 to boot up but the same error occurred. As we can see the TSM data storage disks (the D and the E drive) when we boot up in safe mode we would rather not blow everything away by re-installing Windows and having to recreate TSM from scratch and restore all the data from the tapes. I realise that this is mainly a Windows issue now, but if anyone else was in a similar situation with their TSM server I would like to know if you were able to get around it.

TDP for SQL - restoring to different server
We have just started using TDP for SQL (version 5.2.1) I need to restore an SQL database backup from 7 days ago to another Windows server. I have a few questions regarding this. If I install TSM and TDP for SQL on another Windows server, does the server I restore it too have to have SQL installed on it? All I want to do initially is get the db file onto a server so that we can then move it to wherever we want. How do I specify the 7 day old database backup in the tdpsqlc command?

Policy and DRP question
We have TSM version 5.2 I have changed the standard policy so that we now keep the 10 latest versions of each file rather than 7. I have also changed our del volhist to tod=today-10 where it was previously 7. I have been told that previously we had to keep the 7 latest copy tapes and db tapes offsite for DRP to ensure that we could recover complete servers.

Re: dsmcad stops on linux servers
It seems that when I finish using the Backup-Archive GUI via Internet Explorer and then close IE this http process at the linux level hangs around for a while then dies, and takes the dsmcad process with it.

We have TSM server and clients version 5.2 We have generated some backupsets of clients onto tape. The retention was set to 120 days. Not all the backupsets that we wanted created were created.

TSM service on linux client
I have installed TSM 5.2 on a RH linux AS 3.0 server. To install it I performed the following steps: Used rpm -i to install the two rpm packages. rpm -i TIVsm-API.i386.rpm rpm -i TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm Created the dsm.sys and dsm.opt files. Created the environment variables by adding these to a .profile file. export DSM_CONFIG=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsm.opt export DSM_DIR=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin I run the command dsmcad to start the tsm service however it does not start the TSM service (when I run the command service tsm status I get the error Unrecognised service.) Is there a step I am missing either on the linux client or on the TSM server? There is a schedule created for this client on the TSM service as well as a client node. I have other clients (both Windows and linux) being backed up successfully via the TSM server.
