Removing old copypool

2006-11-30 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
Hello

I have an old copy storage pool that I want to delete. 

I migrated all the primary storage pool data to new primary storage
pools, and backed this up to new copy pools. This was part of a
LTO2-LTO3 migration.

Is there an easy way to tell if all the data in the old copypool resides
in the new copypool. I have some sql statements to query the occupancy
table, but these are pretty heavy and rely on the logical mb, not the
actual files.

Any ideas?

Solaris dsmj internal server error

2006-11-15 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
Hello

I have a problem with the dsmj client on Solaris 8.

TSM Client version 5.3.3.0, server version 5.2.7.1.

When ever the backup or restore button is pressed on the dsmj interface
an internal server error is detected. There is no obvious errors in the
log and has only stated occurring since the upgrade.


Has anyone seen this?

You need to touch the error logs that you define in the sysfile. Then
ensure that the oracle user can write to these files.

I usually put them in a user accessible log directory and precreate the
log so the Oracle user can then write to the file.

 The 106 should be API error DSM_RC_ACCESS_DENIED, meaning denied due

Re:

The schedule start date was from back in 2005.

Does this mean that the events table populates a line for any machine
associated with the schedule back until the start date and if there is
no return code assumes missed?

Hi Ian,

Not an expert yet, but did you specify a start date when you defined the
schedule. If it was blank, this may cause it to think the schedule was
active prior to the actual created date.

Re: Events table

Does this make sense:

That when a server is associated to a schedule, the events table
populates an entry for the server back to every scheduled time until the
start_time parameter. Hence all the uncertains. I expect that it then
attempts to poulate the returns be cross referencing the summary table.
If there is no return code in the summary then it assumes missed.

Ian -

The peculiarities of the Events table can be found in many past
discussions preserved in the List archives.  It is not an actual table,
but instead presents information derived from other sources in the TSM
database (see APAR IC28825).  As noted in ADSM QuickFacts, you need to
specify values for the SCHEDULED_START and/or ACTUAL_START columns.  See
other APARs for more perspective.  As you've noticed, you get different
information reported from the table vs. the Query EVent command.

The Uncertain's result from selecting beyond the age bounds of your
EVentretention value.  When performing an expansive Select on the Events
table, you need to specify a date/time, because this pseudo- table is
unbounded.

Default management class

2006-11-07 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
I have a Windows host  that was moved between domains.

It is still trying to backup a directory into an old management class.
There is no statement in the option file or in any global option set.

The problem is the files in the directory are going to the new default
management class- 37 days and the old management class is only 5 days.
So point in time restores don't seem to work over 5 days into the
past... I want to get everything into the new default management class.

Any ideas?

Schedule failure

2006-10-23 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
Hello

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the TSM Central Scheduler API
return codes on standard incremental backup. I just want to clarify when
a schedule is 'failed'. I used to think this was when files changed and
couldn't be backed up for there was issues backing up the registry
objects etc. This may be a really basic question, but schedule logs I
have been looking at recently have started me questioning basic stuff!!!

However sometimes I see successful schedules with failed files.

When does TSM actually state a failed schedule?

The only one it takes is server

For example: change the dsm.sys to:

passwordaccess prompt
* mailprog   /bin/mail root

and I get:

ANS0220E (RC400)  An invalid option was found during option parsing.

in the tdpoerror.log it shows:

Commenting out the TCPPORT option, I then get:

So it sees each option as an error. I did try moving those to the

All options should be placed under the servername stanza in the dsm.sys
file. The opt file should just hold the servername. There are a few
options like the symbolic link etc, but all client options should be in
the sys file.

So take out all the lines from the opt file other than the servername
line.

Then update the stanza in the sys file with all options.

SQL Query for monthly backups

2006-10-11 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
Hi

I am trying to find out all the successful backups for a monthly node -
going back for years. 

I am using the following select:

select node_name,hl_name,ll_name,backup_date from backups where
node_name='NODE_MONTHLY' order by backup_date

Is there anyway to get a DISTINCT on the backup date? So I can just get
an idea of dates where backups ocurred, as the above output is just too
much.


Is there any better way of doing this?

an idea of dates where backups ocurred, as the above output is just too
much.


Is there any better way of doing this?

Restoring directory not displayed in GUI

2006-10-05 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
TSM Client 5.2.4.0 on Windows 2003.

I am doing a point in time restore from the GUI, I looking to the
directory and there are a number of active and inactive directories
displayed.

I select the directory structure and hit restore.

Then in the restore area, a directory appears (security__com) that
wasn't in the GUI window. My next stage is to check via the command
line. Does anyone have any ideas or has seen this behaviour before?

Re: Total newbie question about DB Backups

2006-09-21 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
 
By setting the DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS, allows you to automatically
recycle the TSM DB tapes. This is usually set to something like a 5 day
cycle, based on how realsitic it is that you would want to recover your
TSM environment back to. This means there will always be a critical
volume of tapes used for DB Backup. Be sure to set the REUDE DELAY
parameter on the copy storage pools to match the retention of the
database backup. This ensures the tape volumes required for that DB will
be there, rather than being over written on the standard DRM cycle.
(They will go into a pending state).

Re: Total newbie question about DB Backups

2006-09-21 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
 
For protection ensure that the ROLL FORWARD mode is on and there is
enough log space to take account for load during the period between TSM
DB Backups. This can be up to 13.2GB. Also set the Database backup
trigger, and ensure there is always scratch tapes. Put the DB and Log
volumes on different physical disks and both are TSM mirrored-ensure the
Log has sequential mirrorwrite set.

I would advise a scheduled DB backup after all the offsite volumes are
created. i.e 1 DB backup per day.

The Roll Forward mode will then allow you to recover the database from
tape and roll it forward from the transactions in the log.

Volhist will show the DBBackup tapes:

select * from volhistory where type='BACKUPFULL'

Okay, I may rely on mirroring then. If I do a DB backup every 4 hours
it'll cost 6 tapes a day and each one will only have a few MB of data.

For some reason, the tapes used for DB Backup aren't listed when I
execute a Q VOL. Something else to investigate.

TSM Linux Client High CPU

2006-09-19 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
Hi

I have a problem on Linux -OS: Red Hat release 3 update 8. The TSM
Client is 5.2.4.0. Any DSMC process uses lots of CPU space.

When we do an strace on the process it is making no system calls.
However it is sitting at 25% CPU- 1 whole CPU.

A manual dsmc has the same issue, and takes ages to quit out of, usually
the quit statement just hangs and the process has to be killed.

Anyone have any idea?

You have migration delay set to 1 day. However migration continue is set

It may be that the server is migrating down automatically files that

Subject: [ADSM-L] Tapes getting opened and closed hundreds of times
during disk-bac kup

Hello All,

I have been working on this a while, and I am at my wit's end:

Backing up (on 5.3 server) to a stgpool of disk.  There are NO copy
stgpools defined for the disk, although I did try that at one time.

As any client backs up, along with writing to the disk stgpool, it also
opens and closes an LTO tape in my main tape pool hundreds of
times...open close...open close...open close...

Further symptoms:  The backup process is apparently writing as it should
to disk stgpool BUT also to my Next Storage Pool, SL500.  I see NO
reason for this behavior.

If Tivoli cannot mount a tape in the SL500, the client backup will not
continue...it will just wait for media.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.  I have even restarted the Tivoli server process to reload
the configs, but no change.

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated! :)

Re: MAXNUMMP

2006-09-14 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
 
Oracle Enterprise Edition can parallelise the backup- i.e there are
multiple channels opened to the SBT_TAPE.

This is defined in the backup script or repository. Usually as a rule of
thumb, limited by the number of CPUs on the server.

MAXNUMMP should match the number of channels allocated by the RMAN
backup scripts. The MAXNUMMP specifies the number of tape mounts
required in the TSM subsystem.

Subject: [ADSM-L] MAXNUMMP

This is my first post here after months of lurking.  I'd like to start
by thanking Richard Sims for his marvelous ADSM.QuickFacts.  Because of
that file, my employer thinks that I'm far smarter that I am.  Thank
you!

There's one thing, though, that I haven't been able to figure out in the
TSM doco, the ADSM-L archive or even ADSM.QuickFacts.  Can someone
explain (using one syllable words) what MAXNUMMP is?

We have ongoing intermittent problems with Oracle TDP and Windows
backups.
 Here's a typical error:

ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text:
   ANS0326E (RC41)   This node has exceeded its maximum number of mount
points.

When this first started happening (after we upgraded to TSM 5.3), I set
MAXNUMMP to the number of tape drives, but that turned out to be A Very
Bad Thing (though I forget why).  Now we bump up the MAXNUMMP number by
one each night that a backup fails until we get a number that works. 
Surely someone can give me a formula that will take me directly to the
right value.

Actually, I don't understand why these backups are calling for multiple
drives anyway.  They're routine Oracle log backups that happen many
times a day and run successfully 99.9% of the time.  Similarly, the
Windows backups are routine nightly backups.  I'm not trying to stream
to multiple tapes.  Why shouldn't MAXNUMMP=1 do the job?

Our environment is TSM server 5.3.3.0 running on AIX 5.3 at ML04 on a
p550.  We have 8 T10K drives in an STK SL8500 library.  The Oracle TDPs
are mostly on Sun boxes and the Windows boxes are a variety of Redmond
versions (though the errors aren't specific to any version).  We have
upgraded the TSM clients to the bleeding edge and still see these
errors.

Thanks for any help and for all I've learned in this forum, anker

It looks like an Australian English message file??? Were the required language

Solaris and RMAN backup attempt to SBT_TAPE


Hi,







I'm fairly new to TDPO so would be grateful for any assistance or advice
from more experienced TDPO Guru's !




Our UNIX Sys Admin staff and I have just installed and configured TDPO 5.3.2
on Sun Solaris 5.8. 





We've followed the IBM TDPO instructions and have setup the tdpo.opt file
and the symbolic link from our Oracle 8.1.7.2 ORACLE_HOME/lib/libobk.so as
follows:




lrwxrwxrwx   1 oracle   dba   18 Sep  7 11:13 libobk.so -
/usr/lib/libobk.so*







I've performed the RMAN setup/configuration using an Oracle 10.2.0.2
Recovery Catalog on the same Solaris 5.8 system.




I can successfully backup an Oracle 8.1.7.2 database to disk (via the Oracle
10.2.0.2 Recovery Catalog), but when I attempt to perform a backup of the
same database via RMAN to SBT_TAPE I receive the ANS0101E error below:







RMAN run {

parms=ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpo.opt);

Solaris ZFS Zones

2006-09-07 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
Hi

Does anyone have experience configuring the TSM clients to backup zones
in Solaris and specifically ZFS.

I am currently deploying but having some issues getting the client to
pick up the zone filesystems. I am running the client from the global
zone. A standard inc does not backup any of the zone filesystems. Is
there any specific options I need?

I am running 5.3.3.0 client with a 5.2.7.1 server. I also have the
option of using a 5.3.2.0 server.

Any advice appreciated!

Hi Ian,

The process that you referenced was a NAS NDMP differential backup.  I
also had regular client backups occurring throughout all platforms of
servers such as windows, solaris, aix, etc.

I haven't changed anything in the current environment for approximately
a year, so nothing major has changed.  I also see that expiration was
running and I can see some of the internal server error detected

Any suggestions?

Re: 5.3.3 Upgrade problem

2006-08-29 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
TSM 53 has introduced a new option on the checkin command:

WAITTime 
Specifies the number of minutes that the server will wait for you to
reply or respond to a request. Specify a value in the range 0-. If
you want to be prompted by the server, specify a wait time greater than
zero. The default value is 60 minutes. For example, suppose the server
prompts you to insert a tape into the entry/exit port of a library. If
you specified a wait time of 60 minutes, the server will issue a request
and wait 60 minutes for you to reply. Suppose, on the other hand, you
specify a wait time of 0. If you have already inserted a tape, a wait
time of zero will cause the operation to continue without prompting. If
you have not inserted a tape, a wait time of zero will cause the
operation to fail.

Re: LTO-2 and LTO-3 switch grouping

2006-08-29 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
Ensure the PCI slots do not share internal BUS bandwidth. You may end up
with issues there- I moved to dual port PCIe cards for the internal
bandwidth to run many LTO3 drives. Is the server really only PCI, or are
they PCI-X slots?

There is no issues running LTO2 and LTO3 on the same HBA.

I have looked into the fabric throughput to actually see the speeds-
they can be very high- near the theoretical maximums if you are using
format=drives or UTRIUM3/2C. Any type of oversubscription/commitment can
cause severe impact on streaming performance.

Subject: [ADSM-L] LTO-2 and LTO-3 switch grouping

Hi All,

We have the good fortune to be adding four LTO-3 drives to our STK L700
library.  It currently has 14 LTO-2 drives, attached to two Brocade 3800
(2Gpbs, 16-port) switches.  All drives are IBM FC.  I'm trying to figure
out the best approach to zone these drives.   We currently use port
zoning
on these switches, but as part of this upgrade, we will enable the WWN
feature on the L700, and migrate the switches to WWN zoning.  Here are
my thoughts...

Current config:  (4) HBAs on the TSM server for tapes
  On switch1,
hba1 has (3) LTO-2 drives
hba2 has (4) LTO-2
  On switch2,
hba3 has (3) LTO-2 plus (3) DLT8K  (the DLT's are going away
with this upgrade)
hba4 has (4) LTO-2

The DLT's are never used, so they have no real impact.  I know the hba's
with (4) LTO-2 are over-committed, and although I have no direct
evidence of a problem, my gut feeling is that it is a bottleneck at
times.  I have a few FC cards that I can add.  There are two open PCI
slots on the TSM server... with some more reconfiguration, I can free up
two more.  This is an HP rp7410 server, and all PCI slots are 66Mhz x 64
bit capable, with throughput of 530MBps so, I can put FC adapters
anywhere with no throughput concerns.

What I'm considering:
- IF I can add four more HBAs (best case - no over-commitment),
  On each switch,
hba1 with (1) LTO-3 and (1) LTO-2
hba2 with (1) LTO-3 and (1) LTO-2
hba3 with (3) LTO-2
hba4 with (2) LTO-2

-If I can only add two HBAs (less reconfiguration),
  On each switch,
hba1 with (1) LTO-3 and (1) LTO-2
hba2 with (1) LTO-3 and (2) LTO-2  (44 MBps over-commitment)
hba3 with (4) LTO-2  (24 MBps over-commitment)

My over-commitment calculations are based on 2048 Mbps / 8 bits per
byte = 256 MBps throughput per switch port.
I'm wondering if there are any issues with zoning LTO-2 and LTO-3 to the
same HBA... will either one monopolize the port, or will play nice
together?
Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Robin Sharpe

TSM 5.3 Version

2006-08-21 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
Hello

I am currently running a number of Windows 2003 based TSM 5.2.7.1
servers. They are relatively stable, however I am looking to upgrade to
5.3.

I have had a 5.3.2.0 server running for about 10 months, with minimal
load- I have seen no problems with this instance. I look at the fixes in
5.3.3.0 and the list is massive.


Is 5.3.3.0 the best way to go at the moment?

Re: Label length on 3584 Library

2006-07-10 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
 
In TSM when it labels the tape it gives the volume a media type. See q
libv f=d. This is determined at the hardware level.

This defines to TSM the tape generation, i.e. 394=LTO2, 417=LTO3.

From the q dr f=d, you can see what the drive hardware type can read and
write.

To configure the hardware-stg pool relationships correctly obviously the
device classes need to be configured with the format option set to the
associated data type i.e. for LTO3- ULTRIUM3C...

It's also part of the tape label (L1, L2 or L3, that is if you are using
the IBM labels). 
I've seen at a customer site tape labels like A002 and then
TSM/Library/Driver thinks this is an
LTO2 tape, but in fact it was LTO1.

The CPF and DPF enable/disable is just a registry change. There should
by some registry scripts in the ultrium unpack directory, in a reg
folder.

These functions are for path failover- you can define control paths for
the library on multiple drives (i.e. mapped over multiple fabrics). This
CPF function then aggregates the device. If you don't have the correct
functionality configured, then disable it.

It is best practice to configure the library manager and clients with
the same driver version and keep them configured the same, i.e. ensure
the functions are disabled on all devices. N.B. it will require a reboot
to activate the registry change after you have run the script.

The actual change looks like the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ibmcgbs2k]
FailoverDisabled=dword:0001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ibmcgbs2k3]

You are on a much later device driver so I would try disabling the
failover functions first before you roll back.

Wehen we did this it resolved the problem straight away. We also had
major server stability issues, where the server would blue screen and
only be recovered by ASR.

After a difficult period we pinned this down to the ultrium drivers.

Are you using LTO3 tape drives? Are the AIX boxes library clients or
just normal clients?

LTO2 drives are back compatible with LTO1 media. Ensure that the atape
driver version is at the required level to support gen II.

Put all the tapes physically to read only, to ensure there is no
potential way of writing over the DR data.

Re: Log pinning issue, not quite sure what's going on...

2006-05-05 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
 
Can you check the network settings on the HMCH1143 server. If this is
running half duplex, or particularly slow then the sessions will lock
parts of the target disk storage pool and hold them. This may be
directly conflicting with the migration process. As previously stated,
this could also be a potential problem with the disk performance on the
target pool.

Suggestion

Assuming that data(s) are being migrated from diskpool, I would also
examine if disks of primary diskpool are going bad or there are some bad
data written to disk.
I would look at /var log or error logs.  Maybe run some  diagnostics
commands top see if OS see all devices are fine on the TMS server.

 Hello everyone,

 Earlier in the week I had an issue with the log being pinned by a
migration
 task.  I have thus experienced the issue again this morning and it
appears
 as if another migration task has it pinned again.  The weird thing is
that
 in all cases the migration task that has it pinned it the same drive 
 each time.  It just seems to sit there and does not continue after a 
 certain point in time.

 I have a TSM 5.2.1.7 server on AIX 5.2 which runs Gresham EDT 7.4.0.5
with
 ACSLS 7.1.0.24 and LTO2 tape drives.  We have had the drive replaced
today,
 but I am still seeing this bizarre issue happening with the migration
task
 and that particular drive.

 Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas?

 And also, I will be changing this recovery log to rollforward mode 
 within the next day.  Thanks for the suggestion Richard!

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] 3584 checkin/checkout

Both of these processes require scripting in order to automate things to
the point that the 3584 appears more 3494-ish.  We use a perl script to
kick off the 'move drm' command (or 'checkout libv' command, take your
pick) and monitor the TSM server messages via a dsmadmc -consolemode
session.  If the script sees a message indicating that the I/O bin is
full, we issue a message to the operator running the script and wait for
them to indicate that it's okay to proceed.

On the checkin side, I don't think you can have the 3584 automagically
move tapes from the I/O bin to empty slots (and if you could, I don't
think the library would tell TSM where they are...and how would either
the library or TSM know whether the tapes are private or scratch?).
Again, we script this, having the script do 'move drm' commands for
specific volumes to be checked in, issuing a 'checkin libv' command and
monitoring the server log for success/failure messages.

With SCSI-type tape libraries, there's a lot more work to be done by
people and/or scripts than there is with a 3494.

Bill

I'm wondering if I'm missing anything in our setup of the 3584 as it
relates to incoming and outgoing tapes. Currently the mainframe sends
alerts to the operators when the I/O port is full on the 3494 and needs
emptying.
Once
empty the checkout of tapes can continues. I was wondering how others
manage that on a 3584. Is there a way to send alerts when the port is
full?
I'd
hate to come in and find all the tapes were not ejected because the job
could not continue.



Second question relates to checking in tapes. On the 3494 you can insert
tapes to the I/O port and it automatically empties it and put tapes into
empty slots. I don't see this available with a 3584, but easily could
have missed it, so I'm wondering if there is a way to change a setting
on the library or automate this.



Thanks,

Gaurav -

You may be new to TSM and not realize that this question has been

This is formally known as the Many small files problem. See that entry
in http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts or http://
www.tsmwiki.com/tsmwiki for collected information.

 Someone tells me that the Tivoli DB can take only 100million objects 
 for tracking and filist might not be a correct way to do it. He says 
 there is DB2 lite running behind TSM and that has this limit?

Your information source is faulty. I'd advise more authoritative
references, as found on the IBM Web site and in documented referenced in
mailing list postings.

It is more typically the case that the client is limited in running
out of the amount of memory needed to accommodate the Active files list
it gets from the server at the start of Incremental backup processing.
It behooves a client which serves a highly elevated data complement like
this to run a 64-bit version of the operating system for that platform,
to best deal with the volumes of metadata that it needs to be able to
handle. This provides the expanse needed for holding such arrays in
memory.

Re: Dell Server for TSM Server ?

2006-04-21 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
 
I inherited a TSM environment all running on Windows. So I was stuck
with the OS.

I have deployed multiple HP ML570 servers, twin xeon, 3GB memory. Big
PCIe buses at the back end. Have 7 LTO2 and 7 LTO3 and have seen the
server pretty much pushing them all full bore. Throughput is very good,
I would say the windows boxes seem to suffer when it comes to the actual

Not sure how much the p-series box is, but the ML570 server was less

Asunto: Re: [ADSM-L] cannot dismount tape

Marcelo -

Use Query PRocess and Query SEssion Format=Detailed to see if the tape/drive is 
actually in use, and Query Request to see if an associated tape is needed.

A situation which goes on for days, as you have encountered, is abnormal, and 
may indicate that a tape mount is actually not completing, and that can be due 
to a drive defect or even a tape already in the drive (stuck there, after a 
previous dismount failed).
Inspect the drive for problems. Depending upon your drive type, a Reset or 
power cycle may clear its condition. But thereafter keep an eye on the drive 
for further problems, where a technician would have to work on it.

Re: Drive Inconsistencies

2006-04-13 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
 
Paths go offline due to scsi errors on the line. The drive doesn't
actually report an error so the drive entity stays online.

Paths can go offline for a variety of reasons above and beyond drive
hardware failure.

You can just attempt to put the path back online if it is a temporary
line fault. Best to do a visual on the drive first...

Try doing an update drive online=yes to see if that takes.  Had some

Suggestion: go check your drive, see if it has a code on the front.
My
guess is that it does.  A drive being offline (as in 'q drive') is
separate from the path ('q path') being offline.  They are related, but
independent.
Someone else probably has good technical explanation.

Re: Virtual Volume

2006-04-13 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
 Virtual volumes usually exist on another server- so the actual device
class is defined as a device type of server.

Storage pools are then bound to this device class- that exist on the
server defined.

Good morning Roger

Thank you so much for that information. Backing out wasn't a big problem for me 
as the old server was still left as it was so all I had to do was connect the 
drives and lib again and bring it back up (phew).

This is a very annoying problem though. Surely TSM should be able to see that 
even though the /dev/rmt/ entry has changed, it's still the exact same 
device type and that it should still be able to write to the volume/s in 
question. Is this something that is 'working as designed' or a bug/fault?

Also. It's odd that I could not even audit any of the filling volumes until I 
changed the state to readonly. BUT, TSM could happily write to scratch tapes 
that had been labelled on the old server.

I really don't know why this should be? I have certainly not seen this in any 
documentation.

Thanks again

Farren

This happened to me too, when doing a similar migration. I looked up my notes 
from the time.

The problem is that your Filling tapes were started on a different drive type 
than you have now, and so it won't append any more data onto them. (Even if 
they are the very same drives, this can still happen.)

How to deal with it:

1. Get some extra tapes, to use while you do the following steps. Before you do 
anything else after the big change, LABEL LIBVOL these new tapes so there will 
be something for migration and DB backup to use.

2. Mark all your Filling and Full tapes Readonly. You will still be able to 
restore from them OK. If you don't already have it, set a REUSEDELAY of a day 
or two.

3. The Full tapes should reclaim themselves normally. However, reclamation will 
not select any tape that is still marked as Filling, so you've got to reclaim 
them manually yourself with MOVE DATA. Might take a while, which is OK as long 
as you don't run out of tapes.

4. As tapes are cleared, whether they had been Filling (via MOVE DATA) or Full 
(via reclamation), you may need to do CHECKOUT LIBVOL on them followed by a 
LABEL LIBVOL OVERWRITE=YES before it will reuse them as scratch tapes. When you 
get a mixture of Pending tapes from before and after the big change, then you 
can easily tell which ones you need to relabel - they will be the ones that are 
both Pending and Readonly.

When this happened to me, it was a hassle, but I found that it was a manageable 
hassle. I did not have to do anything as drastic as the backout you did. Sorry 
to hear about that - because you are having to do
3 times the work with a migrate-backout-migrate cycle.

Hi Ian

I only deleted and recreated the library, drives and paths, but I did not touch 
the 3590 Device Class. Do I need to remove and recreate that too? If I do this, 
how will it effect the tapepool  copypool that this device class specified?

I actually printed screen dumps of the drives etc before removing and 
recreating to make sure that they were the same (apart from the /dev/rmt/ 
entry of course). As far as I know, no special declarations of device class are 
made during the addition of drives/libs/paths etc anyway.

I did not do a manual audit of the library? But i figured that as it could use 
scratch tapes and audit volumes that were full or filling (readonly), things 
were already OK. I could be wrong.

Thanks

I was mistaken in my previous answer. Yes you can manage the tdp
scheduler service. Typically you create a different node name for each
schedule type. For instance servername for the BA backups and
servername_exch for the exchange backups. You would need to create a
separate dsmcad service to manage each one of the schedulers.

Re: Q STG hangs during reclamation

2006-03-01 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
 
I see the exact same thing on our TSM servers.

After speaking to IBM they state that the hang is down to a component of
the database not being able to respond during what ever process is
running. During the start of a reclaim process the IO is heavy on the
database and the TSM instance queues mounts for the volumes that it
recognises are eligible for reclaim based on the percent that you have
assigned the storage pool. If this is a massive amount then, this could
take a while.

Does q mo hang as well? If it does not, then it suggests that the
problem lies in the disk storage. If it does then more likely to be
related to tape.

What library firmware and drivers are running the library?

Also check the following APAR:

C47930 TSM SERVER MAY HANG ALL OPERATIONS REQUIRING ACCESS TO A
SEQUENTIAL VOLUME AFTER RECLAMATION STARTS REPAIR STGVOL. IC47930 is
fixed in levels 5.3.2.3 (available now) and 5.3.3.

We are having problems on a TSM server instance on AIX.  Some simple
commands such as Q Stg appear to hang, along with their sessions,
while reclamation is in process.  Other commands like Q Pr' do not
hang.  The server is AIX 5.2.5 with six instances of TSM Server 5.3.2.0
on it.  The disk is DS4300 with a 3584 tape library shared between the
instances.  
 
Anyone have a guess as to why?

Offsite Virtual Volumes

2006-02-28 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
Hello

Other than offsite reclamation, is there any way to easily consolidate
offsite virtual volumes?

Currently I have a server which is electronically vaulting to a remote
TSM server. There are in the region of 3000 volumes in the copy pool,
some 5 MB and smaller in size.

Backup storage pool process usually creates in the region of 20 a day.

Expire Inventory

2006-02-13 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
Hi

I have been having database performance issues possibly related to
unexpired objects in the database. The problem manifests itself with all
the client sessions during the backup window grinding to a halt. There
are 7 pages of locks on the database and nothing is moving. After
running expiration, which expired 60% of the objects that is analysed,
the problems goes away.

Can anyone tell me how to work out the actual number of objects in the
database? Also, once the expiration process complete- I ran it again,
immediately and it found another few hundred thousand objects to expire-
why?

Has anyone else seen this type of problem? If so is there a statement
that can be written to analyse the number of unexpired objects that
currently reside in the database? As light weight as possible, as a
heavy weight global lock enforced by a big statement probably wont
complete when the system is under this massive load!

Thanks

 Now what system parameter should I change to make the backup work?

Jie - Look at your AIX shell filesize resource limit.

(I have notes on that msg in http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts .)

5.3

Hi Everybody,

I've read the IBM site regarding the specs they recommend for a server
for the Administration Center running on Windows. What are the specs on
the server setup you are currently running ? Do you suggest adding as
much memory as you can afford, faster CPUs etc ??

Re: AW: [ADSM-L] Backup / Restore IMAGE

2006-01-16 Thread Smith, I (Ian)
 
In a cached disk subsystem, the write overhead of RAID 5 can be negated.

Hence the reason if a cache battery dies, write through cache mode is
enabled, as cache may not be able to be destaged in the event of a power
failure- this will have a massive effect on write wait time on the host.

Caught the backend of this discussion, what is the disk subsystem? What
are the symptoms of the problem?

  ...I think the problem is the raid5 system

 Boris - RAID 5's performance issues during write operations has been
  discussed many times on this mailing list.  It is the nature 
 of that technology, which is performance-expensive.

If it's hardware RAID-5 with RAM cache, it could be write caching is
turned off; either on purpose, by default, or from a bad or expired
battery.  That greatly affects write speeds should be looked at before
blaming the RAID-5 entirely.
