Re: Cleaning Machine for 3590 cartridges
Hi Zlatko, Thanks for replying... The problems we are having is we been getting a lots of read/write error on our 3590 J tapes. We have about 1300 tapes in our 3494library and in just the last 2 months, we have gotten 13 read/write errors on our tapes. Before the upgrade we very rarely see a bad tape and now we see too many. Last summer, we did expand our 3494library adding two frame and another assessor to the library. We also upgraded our 3590 tape drive from B1A to H1A. We are on the latest ATAPE driver too. David C.

Management Class Problem.
I have TSM Server Version 5.1.6.1 on AIX 5.1. This is involving a client node TSM Client 5.1 on Win2000 We wanted to have the client node to have an independent management class. I created one. (nt_brass_mc. The old default mc is nt_default_mc) We made a change in inclexcl for nodename (Brass) to point to nt_brass_mc. We bounce the services on win2000 nodename Brass. I did a move nodedata for this client from the old default tapepool to the new tapepool. After this is done, we check q occ node-name and the old tapepool was gone. This morning after the DRM ran, We check the q occ node-name and there was the old tapepool included with the new tapepool and new copypool. I checked the incremental backup that ran last night and it went to the new tapepool (nt_brass_tapepool) When we check the restore gui, we view the management class and it said nt_default_mc. We tried to change it but it go back to nt_default_mc. What are we doing that is causing this? Has anyone experience this problem and what did you do to correct this? Thank for your help... David C.

We've been looking at the IBM 3583-L36 Tape Library, which uses 36 LTO-1 tapes, up to 7TB compressed capacity, with two LTO drives, which is gonna cost about 36K.

However, regarding the collocation=no issue on copypools Having done TSM DR recoveries at an offsite location a few times, let me share my experiences. When I started with TSM I had one copypool with colloc=no. We then did our first DR recovery test where my goal was to recover the TSM server and ONE other AIX client. The base os (AIX) was to restored via sysback, user filesystems via TSM. Originally this required the ENTIRE copypool (800+ tapes back then) to be sent from the vault to the DR location as TSM provides no command to see which vols would be needed for a client node restore (hint, hint, IBM). Since then I've been able to put an SQL query together to get that info but it takes quite a while to execute. This trims down the number of tapes, but the number of tapes was still quite large(100 +). Furthermore, the number of tape mount requests during the restore was astronomical, as tapes were requested multiple times. After re-thinking TSM and DR needs, I now have a separated stgpool tree for unix data. Collocation is enabled for both primary and copypools. At the last DR test, the number of tapes needed from the vault was further reduced to around 40, and the restore process took significantly less time. Let's not forget to factor in the time required for physical tape processing (mount delay, seek time, rewind, unload). This can add up to significant wall time. Regards, Al

I think it is more of a question when a VTS replacement would become available and 3590 is significantly slower than other technologies. There is still development going on for the 3494 library itself. There will be a replacement 3590 drive soon. It is not clear if that drive will be in the 3494 library or in a LTO type library. My guess is both, but I have not seen a product direction, so anything is possible. At this point, I would review my data requirements, install new capacity in LTO for open systems if it is more cost effective, and seek an answer from IBM. Paul D.

FYI, we have 8 TSM servers running on AIX 4.3.3 ML10, ~800 clients (NT, AIX, Solaris, Linux VMS) running with TSM client levels anywhere from 2.1 to 5.1, with the majority of them at version 4.1 and 4.2. We are being motivated to move to a newer version so we're on a supported version and because there are new features that our NT admins want to exploit. So, my logic went like this: 4.2.* - Way to buggy, not ~even~ going to go there. 5.1.0.0 - First version, too buggy. 5.1.5.0 - Seems to re-introduce previously fixed bugs. 5.1.1.6 - I don't like to install patches (as opposed to maintenance levels) unless I encounter a bug. So, that lead me to install 5.1.1.0 on my TSM servers. I'm rolling out the 4.1.4.0 to 5.1.1.0 upgrade gradually, just in case I encounter a big gotcha. As of today, I have upgraded 5 of the 8 servers,(doing about 1/week). Things seem to be good so far. I'm keeping an eye on the SYSTEM OBJECTS on the NT hosts, but they seem to be stable and not growing any larger, (but I'm going to keep an eye on that one). Also, the clients don't seem to be reporting any more errors than usual. No errors on the expire inventory that I can see. I'm kinda thinking that I dodged a bullet and it won't be as painful as I thought this was going to be. It's quiet... perhaps a little ~too~ quiet...

Re: Archive problems with TSM version 4
We had the same problem, One of archives that normally run for 2 Hours ran for 16 hours on TSM 4.1.2 Server. We had to go back to TSM 4.1.0 and the Archive ran normal again. I have an open PMR on this. Your the third person who mentioned this here. Please call this in to Tivoli Support. They think we are the only one with the problem.

What version ? I have got big problems with version 4.1.2 for NT and Win32 4.1.1.16 and 4.1.2.12clients . Archives takes forever ( 100 hours for 30 GB ) , archives incomplete , expremely poor retrieve performance ... . Tivoli support recommends clean archdir - but this removes a lot of information from archives + one of systems with problems is brand new TSM server - so I dont think it is directory problem. ( I tested 4.1.3 with no luck ). Any help will be highly appreciated. regards Petr Prerost e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: AIX Server - What's Stable?
They don't have a fix for the problem with the archives problem yet. So we are staying on 4.1.0. I will be upgrading to 4.1.2 on our test server for TSM to test it out and send some info to Tivoli Support if the problem still exist.

I spoke with Tivoli yesterday. They recommend going to 4.1.3 Has anyone done that? Have the archives become more reasonable? Ours were taking nearly 3 DAYS to complete!!

Getting ready to upgrade to a fairly current version of TSM (from ADSM 3.1.1.5!). Not being fond of being "bleeding edge", what would be the group's feeling as to what the most current version is that is pretty well rock solid and stable? Looking at the ftp site, I see 4.1.3 as being less than a month old, and 4.1.2.0 as as being from December. Who's using what, and howzit working?

Re: Archiving problems with TSM 4.1
We have AIX 4.3.2 and went from ADSM to TSM 4.1.2 and One of our ARCHIVE that usually run for 2 to 3 hours ran for 8 hours.

I upgraded the ADSM client to TSM 4.1 and now it is archiving at a rate of 100 archives/16 minutes. I archived one file which under ADSM which was so quick it showed less then 0 seconds to back up - the same file under TSM took 7 seconds. Has anyone seen this before - is there is a fix for this?

Archive running a lonnngg time...
Hi, We were on TSM 4.1.2 and AIX 4.3.2. About a week or so ago we upgraded to TSM 4.1.2 and one of our Archive was running 4 times a long, We notices other backups were taking longer than usual. Because of this problem we backed out and went back to TSM 4.1.0. We have an open PMR on this. Taking one night for example (Saturday), one of our Archive job that usually run for 2 to 3 hours, ran for 18 hours. Of course this is unacceptable for our clients. We looked at our tuning performances and everything looks good as it was before 4.1.2. Did anyone else run into this problem? If yes, did you have a solution? Thanks for any help you can give Dave Pearson IS Production Support Analyst Snohomish County PUD Everett Washington 425.347.4420 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
