Re: Server upgrade problem
If this was done through regular smpe maint. the executable would probably be in sys1.linklib on another RES (ipl) volume. Look at the dataset names on your production and test version for //DSMAMENG and //HLPAMENG and //IMAGES they should give you some idea of what kind names the installers used - and based on your message they should be different datasets on at least the //DSMAMENG since that is the pointer to the messages library. Short form - you can't get to a new version without either creating a new linklib/loadlib or updating an existing linklib/loadlib. If the code was installed into the existing and active sys1.linklib you need to enter an LLA refresh console command and then fire or just shoot the installers cause they are too stupid to . -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keene R.

Re: Help with ANR1173E and disk storage pool
You can also get these messages with a tape mount / residency problem.

Making that switch can cause this to happen. During offsite reclamation for a collocated pool, the server checks the clustering information for the objects on the volume being reclaimed. Clustering information is typically based upon node name, and filespace. If / when the volume was written in a non-collocated pool, all sorts of nodes can get thrown onto that volume. During reclamation processing, the server will only move one node's data at a time. Other objects will get skipped and you'll see the ANR1173E message. Multiple passes are required to fully clear the offsite volume. Some things you can do: -- Increase the batchsize value you're using. Set movebatchsize ### I believe the default is 40, max is 1000 -- Issue move data or move node data depending upon how many nodes are on that volume and / or the nature of the storage pool. An additional step is to have a primary tape pool that the disk pool migrates to. The logic for offsite volume reclamation is slightly different when the copy resides in a tape (sequential) pool instead of on disk. The server retries the reclamation (reprocesses the volume) more when the copies are on tape.

The 'gotcha' has been that the older versions of TSM would not let you use a dataset greater than 4GB (I have not checked this since I moved to 5.1) so, unless you defined the volumes as striped when you defined them on the shark, you need to watch your dataset allocations. -Original Message- From: John Naylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 3:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OS/390 volume sizes Sam, We do not currently use our ESS for larger than model 3s We define every linear data set for both storage pool and database volumes to use 100% of a model 3.

Re: 3590 compression vs tsm compression
Set your estimated capacity back to 39GB (higher if you KNOW you will get more data on the tape). As the tape fills you will see the percent util go up to 100%, the volume status of the tape stays as 'filling' until the tape is physically full and the estimated capacity numbers will continue to increase (matching the amount of data) as the tape fills. Tapes in 'filling' status will mounted and filled in onsite pools. Tapes that are offsite and 'filling' will reclaim but the numbers are bogus. I check my copypool tape for 'filling' status daily and do a manual cleanup whenever. -Original Message- From: Rob Schroeder [mailto:robs;FAMOUSFOOTWEAR.COM] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 5:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 3590 compression vs tsm compression Win2k SP2 client 4.2.1.32 Win2k Sp2 server 4.1.6 (Iknow I know) Here is my dilemma: I have been setting the size of my 3590E device class to 39 Gig (just under the 40 gig size limit) and have been doing compression within TSM. However, due to the number of clients and the server size, I would like to have the hardware do more of the compression to alleviate the processor bottlenecks I have. Therefore I have tested changing the tape capacity to 120G and turning off TSM compression. If the tape gets less than ideal compression (assume none) then when the tapes get 33% full and thus TSM lists the tape as filling. The backups still think there is no more room in the storage pool. I am then left with these situations: 1. TSM must mount the tape before it recognizes there is no more room. Obviously this is bad if there are 100 tapes and it takes 2 minutes per tape to mount. 2. TSM reclamation thresholds are shot because it wants to reclaim at 50% utilization but will never get there because it can only go as high as 33%. 3. My operators think that there is lots of room in the storage pool because there are 100 tapes at 33% utilization leaving most of the tape available, and they don't add tapes even though they are needed. Do I need to continue to use software compression and forget about the hardware side? Any thoughts would be helpful. Rob Schroeder Famous Footwear 608-827-3495 phone 608-662-6495 fax

Re: Eternal Data retention brainstorming.....
If they tell you the hosts/filespaces just do a rename of the existing filespaces. -Original Message- From: bbullock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 2:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Eternal Data retention brainstorming. Folks, I have a theoretical question about retaining TSM data in an unusual way. Let me explain. Lets say legal comes to you and says that we need to keep all TSM data backed up to a certain date, because of some legal investigation (NAFTA, FBI, NSA, MIB, insert your favorite govt. entity here). They want a snapshot saved of the data in TSM on that date. Anybody out there ever encounter that yet? On other backup products that are not as sophisticated as TSM, you just pull the tapes, set them aside and use new tapes. With TSM and it's database, it's not that simple. Pulling the tapes will do nothing, as the data will still expire from the database. The most obvious way to do this would be to: 1. Export the data to tapes store them in a safe location till some day. This looks like the best way on the surface, but with over 400TB of data in our TSM environment, it would take a long time to get done and cost a lot if they could not come up with a list of hosts/filespaces they are interested in. Assuming #1 is unfeasible, I'm exploring other more complex ideas. These are rough and perhaps not thought through all the way, so feel free to pick them apart. 2. Turn off expire inventory until the investigation is complete. This one is really scary as who knows how long an investigation will take, and the TSM databases and tape usage would grow very rapidly. 3. Run some 'as-yet-unknown' expire inventory option that will only expire data backed up ~since~ the date in question. 4. Make a copy of the TSM database and save it. Set the reuse delay on all the storage pools to 999, so that old data on tapes will not be overwritten. In this case, the volume of tapes would still grow (and need to perhaps be stored out side of the tape libraries), but the database would remain stable because data is still expiring on the real TSM database. To restore the data from one of those old tapes would be complex, as I would need to restore the database to a test host, connect it to a drive and pretend to be the real TSM server and restore the older data. 5. Create new domains on the TSM server (duplicates of the current domains). Move all the nodes to the new domains (using the 'update node ... -domain=..' ). Change all the retentions for data in the old domains to never expire. I'm kind of unclear on how the data would react to this. Would it be re-bound to the new management classes in the new domain? If the management classes were called the same, would the data expire anyways? Any other great ideas out there on how to accomplish this? Thanks, Ben

1. Hardware microcode is smart - software can be stupid. Using compression yes and /or compressalways yes can and will cause some files to increase in size. 2. We have compression turned on within the 3494, within our ZOS operating system and within System Managed Storage settings. If any of these are on it does not matter what TSM tries to do - these settings override. Obviously if you do not have anything controlling compression at a higher level TSM may.

By turning off DEVCLASS compression, is that effectively disabling hardware compression performed by my tape device (IBM 3590 TAPE Device / Cartridge) Yes. 3. If client compression and hardware compression are turned on, and hardware compression isn't really buying me anything... won't the attempt at hardware compression prevent streaming? I think it will. Nope, not to the best of my knowledge. In fact, a pre-compressed data stream is less likely to starve the drive. I'm looking for YES/NO answers with a valid explanation. Anyone?

Re: Reusing Old Tapes
delete vol xx discarddata=yes This will delete references to the data on a tape and return the tape to scratch. I hope you are running full backups on a regular basis if you are going to delete backups after less than 2 weeks. P.S. Check your versions and retention settings too. -Original Message- From: Angelos Loizou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 8:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reusing Old Tapes Anybody can help me with this : I 'm using an IBM Ultrium tape library with 7 tapes. A few weeks ago my first set of tapes were full so I got another set of 7 and checked them in TSM. All worked fine. Now the second set is full and I need to reuse the first set for backups. TSM will not allow me to checkin the volumes as scratch resulting in failing backups with an error : ANR1405W Scratch volume mount request denied - no scratch volume available. What do I have to do in order to reuse my old set of tapes? Thanks in advance, Angelos _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
Re: Appropriate way to UPGRADE client
I received *LOTS* of different problems when people tried to upgrade 3.1 clients. I found it was easier to have them copy dsm.opt, uninstall the 3.1 client, install the new client and then copy the dsm.opt file back. -Original Message- From: Malbrough, Demetrius [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 11:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Appropriate way to UPGRADE client Happy Holidays, SM*ers! Is it documented anywhere the appropriate way to upgrade the client? Scenario: You have an NT client at 3.1.0.6 and you want to upgrade it to the latest level of the client which is 4.2.1.18. Do you upgrade to TSM 4.2.1.0 first and then upgrade to the patch of TSM 4.2.1.18? I have tried both ways: Upgrading to 4.2.1.0 then installing the patch of 4.2.1.18 also just upgrading straight to the patch? Both seems to work? But, seems as if when I go straight to the patch, the ba client gui console complains about Error initializing the cache. Shutdown all programs and run scandisk or chkdsk. Delete the cache, cookies and history directories in your windows directory and then restart IE. If the problem persists reinstall IE. The fix for this I guess is to un-install re-install the client so the dscameng.txt file will be at its latest level! Any input would be HELPFUL! Thanks, Demetrius Malbrough UNIX/TSM Administrator
Re: Is a mix of 3590E normal tape with long-tape possible?
A regular 3590 tape when used in a 'B' drive capacity is 10GB, extended tape capacity is 2x or 20GB. A regular 3590 tape when used in a 'E' drive capacity is 20GB, extended tape capacity is 2x or 40GB. A 3590 'B' drive can read / write both tapes. A 3590 'E' drive can read / write both tapes. A 3590 'E' drive can read tapes written by a 3590 'B' drive. A 3590 'B' drive can NOT read tapes written by a 3590 'E' drive. A 3590 'E' drive can NOT write to tapes ALREADY containing data written by a 3590 'B' drive. Cautions. Mark all tapes as full if you change drives from 'B' to 'E'. Check your device classes for capacity settings. In the 390 or Z/OS world there are parmlib settings you need when changing drives. -Original Message- From: Gill, Geoffrey L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 8:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Is a mix of 3590E normal tape with long-tape possible? In our library IBM-3494 are 3490E tape-units. This library will reach its limits for the number of cartridges. We think of replacing the 3490E normal tapes by long-tapes. Does TSM support a mix of different tapes? Fred, I have the same issue here. The modified 3590 has a green 2x sticker on back. What I've been told is regular drives can read J tapes but 2x drives can read J and K tapes. Maybe someone else can comment on this. Because of this I've been waiting till after the upgrade of my drives to insert them. TSM has nothing to do with how the 3590 handles the tapes or what mix of tapes it can read/write to. That's all hardware related. As long as the hardware is supported the rest should be behind the scenes stuff.

Re: IBM FAStT Disk Storage for TSM server
We have been running a FastT200 in production since 11/2000. It has been a solid platform and has survived two power outages with no problems. We have been using FastT500 and Exp500 frames in a test environment for a few months without any failures. If I ever move TSM from our 390 I will use FastT disk for the storage. Cheap - fast - easy to work with reliable. -Original Message- From: David Longo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 8:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: IBM FAStT Disk Storage for TSM server We currently have TSM Server 3.7.4.0 on RS6000 F50 with internal 4.5GB SSA Disks and External IBM ESS.
