Exclude Files From Restore?
Greetings, In our environment, restores are by and large performed by the Operations group. These are a simple folk, unschooled in the murky depths of ADvanced STorage And Retrieval. It has come to pass that the Threat and Vulnerability group is battling a virus contamination. The infection takes the form of a file of a specific name, which can appear anywhere on an infected server. It is too late to prevent this file name from getting backed up to TSM. A representative of the Threat and Vulnerability group has appealed to me to configure TSM to prevent the possibility of this file name from being restored inadvertently by Operations, for they are many, and work in shifts, and are unlikely to consistently heed our admonitions. From what I can tell, Excludes in an option file or client option set only apply to backups and archives, not to restores or retrievals. I have considered waylaying each of the Operations group and tattooing the offending file name on the inside of their eyelids, but that seems impractical. They are scattered among multiple locations across the country. Seriously, though, is there a way in TSM to prevent already-backed-up files from being restored?

Archive script for selected directory names
Hello All, I've got a customer who uses a NAS as a repository for various log files from many servers. These log files are organized by server, then by year and month in the directory structure on the file space. For example, any log file from July of 2008 will be in a directory called ...\servername\y08\m07\. New servers will have their logs added to this share without notice, in various places on the directory tree, but the log directory naming convention will be consistent. This customer requires monthly archives of all log files that are older than 90 days. Once archived, the log files will be deleted - sort of a poor man's HSM. The -deletefiles parameter in the TSM ARCHIVE command will work for this. Note: NDMP does not support archives, or backups of specific selected data, so this must be done via CIFS or NFS - I've got that covered. Due to corporate standards, the archive job will not be scheduled with TSM, but rather with a third-party solution (Autosys). I'm trying to write a script (a Windows batch file) that will figure out what month it is and archive all - and only - the directories for the log files from 4 months ago. The problem I'm having is that the ellipses wildcard (\...\) for directory specification cannot be used in the ARCHIVE command itself - it can only be used for INCLUDE and EXCLUDE statements in the option file. I can compensate for this by having the script rewrite the option file each month with the right includes and excludes, but then the ARCHIVE command gets effectively run from the command line - overriding the option file's includes and excludes, even using INCLUDE.ARCHIVE and EXCLUDE.ARCHIVE. I can't figure out a way to get the ARCHIVE command to do its archives on only, and all, the directories from one specific month. This doesn't necessarily have to be done from a Windows server, though I'm not real speedy with my unix shell scripting. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Re: Archive script for selected directory names
I think I got it worked out. It goes a little like this:
set MONTH=%date:~4,2%
if (%MONTH%) == (01) set ARCHFOLDER=m09
if (%MONTH%) == (02) set ARCHFOLDER=m10
... etc. for all 12 months
net use W: \\IP_address\vol0 /user:username password
W:
FOR /F %%d IN ('dir /s /b %%ARCHFOLDER%%') DO (C:\path\dsmc arch %%d\*
-optfile=C:\path\dsmarch.opt -subdir=yes -deletefiles)
C:
net use W: /delete
It's all been tested, except for the -deletefiles parameter - waiting for
the customer's OK on that one. The fact that it has to open a new TSM
session for every directory slows it down a bit (hundreds of these
directories, at an extra 3-4 seconds per new TSM session), but it gets the
job done. Had some trouble initially running the dsmc from the W: drive
(ANS0101E), but fixed it by defining the DSM_DIR system variable.

Re: Library manager oversubscription
The library manager allocates the drives to the server instances that request mounts. If more mounts are requested than there are available drives, then the most recent mount requests have to wait until a drive becomes available. This is a pretty common occurrence in our environment at certain times of the day. It doesn't hurt anything - it just makes some processes take a little longer. There's no need to adjust the number of tape drives available to each server, unless one server has more critical processing to do and must have priority to the drives over the other server. If all of the drives are available to both of the TSM instances, the library manager will honor mount requests on available drives as the requests come in.

Re: Antwort: [ADSM-L] Windows 2nd instance - how to restore the DB?
I suspect you can get around this by updating environment variables before you run the restore command. Maybe something like: set DSMSERV_DIR=%SYS%\Program Files\tivoli\tsm\server2 set DSMSERV_CONFIG=%SYS%\Program Files\tivoli\tsm\server2\dsmserv.opt set DSMSERV_LOG=%SYS%\Program Files\tivoli\tsm\server2dsmserv.log At least, that's more or less how we do it in Unix.

Re: Combining two TSM servers into one.
If you don't already have domains on server 2 with the same names as the ones on server 1, you'll want to EXPORT POLICY to server 2 first, and make sure that the copy groups have valid storage pools for their destinations. Then, when you EXPORT NODE, they'll be imported into the same policy domains they were in on server 1, and the data will be copied into the storage pools indicated for those copy groups.

Celerra tape device names for NDMP
I'm setting up NDMP backups for a Celerra; the TSM server to which it will be backed up is the library controller, and the library is an EMC VTL, emulating an IBM 3584. I've presented four tape drives to the Celerra from the VTL - one HBA on the Celerra is zoned to two HBA's on the VTL, and two drives are presented down each path. In order to correctly set up the paths on the TSM server, I need to know which device name on the Celerra corresponds to which drive in the VTL. The device names on the Celerra look like this: c128t0l0 c128t0l1 c144t0l0 c144t0l1 Now, I know that the last two characters refer to the LUN numbers, and since I know which drives are presented with which LUN numbers, this gives me a 50-50 chance of getting it right if I just guess. The c### part seems to be a chain or scsi controller number. Interestingly, all of the chain numbers I've seen from the Celerra were divisible by 16. Does anyone know how to find a connection between the chain numbers in the Celerra and the port ID's or WWN's on the VTL? Or am I reduced to making a guess, and if it doesn't work, trying it the other way around? If it helps, here are the WWN's and port ID's (in hex and decimal) and adapter numbers over which the drives are presented from the VTL: 21-03-00-0d-77-fe-61-08 61.18.13 97.24.19 Adapter 1 21-03-00-0d-77-be-61-08 61.14.13 97.20.19 Adapter 3 Any help is appreciated!

Re: Tapes with a status of filling.
We have found that if you have a storage pool's collocation parameter set to Group, but you have nodes that aren't in a collocation group, TSM treats each such node as if it were in its own group - thus, each such node's data gets written to its own set of tapes. If you have a lot of un-collocation-grouped nodes writing to that storage pool, it will put a lot of tapes into the filling state.

Re: ALL Tapes known to TSM
Welcome to the community, Daad! 1- TSM classifies tapes in three partially-overlapping ways: LIBVOL's are the tapes that TSM knows about in an attached tape library; a Q LIBVOL will show these volumes, including scratch tapes, and other tapes in the library that aren't in storage pools. VOL's are all volumes (including disk volumes) that are in any storage pools; Q VOL will show all of these volumes. Scratch tapes aren't in storage pools. DRMEDIA are tapes that are in any copy storage pools, plus any database backups (which aren't in storage pools), whether these tapes are in the librarey or off site; Q DRMEDIA will show all of these tapes. Between these three commands, you should get all of the tapes that TSM knows about, many of them more than once. 2- If a tape shows up as type=STGNEW in the volhistory, it's been checked in as a new, empty volume; TSM doesn't know about any data that might be on it. If the TSM database doesn't know about the data on a volume, it won't be able to get any data off of that volume. There are two exceptions: One, if node data was exported to a tape with the EXPORT NODE command; then, the IMPORT NODE command can be used to extract the information even if the TSM database doesn't know about it. Two, if a backupset was made using GENERATE BACKUPSET, the client can restore the data directly from the tapes the data was written to. Hope this helps!

Re: TSM on Windows Cluster
You can also use the dsmcutil update cad... and dsmcutil update remoteagent... commands to set the password on the passive node if you don't want to fail it over every 90 days. In fact, I would recommend setting up a batch file for each of your cluster nodes that uses dsmcutil to update the password.

Windows LAN-free client HBA replacement
The Windows 2003 LAN-free client has been configured and working properly for some time now. It uses Gresham/ACSLS to share an STK library and drives with our TSM servers. TSM client, storage agent and server versions are all 5.3.2.0. So the client's HBA that connects to the tape drives went kablooey yesterday and had to be replaced. After the storage folks rezoned the new HBA's WWN to the drives in the SAN, Windows discovered them as it should. So far, so good. Naturally, the drives all came back with different names than they used to have. No big deal, I have spreadsheets telling me which ACSLS drives have which WWN's, so looking in the Management Console gives me the information I need to update the elm.cnf file so Gresham can tell TSM which drive ACSLS is mounting its tape in. But the Device Names are all different from the TSM Names in the Management Console. The TSM names look like mt.3.0.0.3, and the Device Names look like \\.\Tape0. Oh yeah, that means that the drives are all using the default STK drivers - I need to go into Device Manager and update the drivers that the tape drives use to the TSMSCSI driver. And here's where I run into problems. When I try to apply that driver (which appears to be loaded on the system, and used to work fine before the HBA replacement) to a drive, the icon for that drive gets the error marker on it, and the Device Status window in the Properties for the drive shows This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31). When I run tsmdlst, it tells me that my TSMSCSI driver is running: C:\TSM\storageagenttsmdlst Tivoli Storage Manager -- Device List Utility Licensed Materials - Property of IBM 5697-TSM (C) Copyright IBM Corporation 2000, 2005.

Computer Name: WIN2003LANFREECLIENT OS Version: 5.2 OS Build #: 3790 TSM Device Driver: TSMScsi - Running .. (boring HBA and drive information, which all looks kosher) Have I neglected to do something critical that will allow the TSM tape driver to work on these drives? Do I need to get the TSMSCSI driver reloaded on that system? Is this something that (this being Windows) a simple reboot will fix? I would prefer not to hear maybe or even probably, because a reboot for this server is a non-trivial event, business-wise, so if that's what I ask for, it had better work.

Oracle rman LAN-free to virtual tape timeout issue
The setup: TSM servers are ver 5.3.2.0, running on AIX. The situation in question involves one TSM server instance that the client backs up to, and a TSM server instance acting as a library manager for a virtual tape library. The client (ver 5.3.2.0) is LAN-free, and doing an rman backup of an Oracle database. The session starts and is proxied normally to the library manager, the tape gets mounted, and the catalog compilation starts. 15 minutes and a few seconds later (that's just over 900 seconds) - and it's always this long, but it's also always the same time each day, 4:15 AM - the proxied session that's holding the tape drive open gets severed (ANR0480W) from the TSM backup server. A few minutes later, the catalog compilation finishes and the client tries to start backing up files, but can't because there isn't a tape available; the backup fails. The commtimeout parameter on both of the TSM servers is 16,400 seconds; on the storage agent it's 14,400. The idletimeout parameter on the servers and the storage agent is 720 minutes. The throughputtimethreshold on the storage agent is 270 minutes. There aren't any timeout-type parameters set in the stanza for this node in the dsm.sys file. Am I missing some timeout parameter that has a default of 15 minutes? Could rman be timing something out? Any ideas? Robben Leaf -- Electronic Privacy Notice.

Re: Newbie Question cluster backups
The Windows B/A Client manual has a good description on how to do this in one of its appendices. In general terms, you need to define a separate node name for the data to be backed up from the new drive; get an option file on the new drive; set up services (TSM Schedules, Client Acceptor, and Remote Agent) on EACH of the physical hosts that the vnode can fail over to, and set up cluster services in Windows' Cluster Administrator to control those services. Some gotchas: For clustered services, make sure you choose an HTTP port and TCP client port that are different from those used by all other nodes within the cluster. Make sure the option file has only the drives for that vnode in its Domain statement. The set of services on the different physical hosts for that vnode must have IDENTICAL names (i.e. the service called TSM Scheduler: VNODENAME must be named exactly the same way on every host that that vnode can fail over to). The local services on each physical host for the vnode must be set to Manual, not Automatic - they will be controlled by the cluster services. The most straightforward way to get the password validated for the services on each physical host is to fail the vnode over to that physical host before you create the services. Hope this helps - good luck!

Would the best way to avoid problems be to do a RENAME NODE of the old client?
