Removing old copypool
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.

All options should be placed under the servername stanza in the dsm.sys file. The opt file should just hold the servername.

Re: Total newbie question about DB Backups
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.

Re: Total newbie question about DB Backups
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.

TSM Linux Client High CPU
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.

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.

Re: MAXNUMMP
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. _ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist Hitachi Data Systems Certified Professional IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Certified Consultant -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anker Lerret Sent: 14 September 2006 16:54 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU 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.

Re: 5.3.3 Upgrade problem
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. _ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist Hitachi Data Systems Certified Professional IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Certified Consultant -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Remeta, Mark Sent: 29 August 2006 15:01 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] 5.3.3 Upgrade problem Hi all, I upgraded one of my servers to 5.3.3.1 from 5.2.4.0 Friday.

Re: LTO-2 and LTO-3 switch grouping
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. _ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist Hitachi Data Systems Certified Professional IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Certified Consultant -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin Sharpe Sent: 29 August 2006 16:51 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU 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!

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.

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.

Re: Log pinning issue, not quite sure what's going on...
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. _ Ian Smith SAN/TSM Specialist -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sung Y Lee Sent: 04 May 2006 23:04 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Log pinning issue, not quite sure what's going on...

Re: 3584 checkin/checkout
If you set up the snmp alerting from the library- it will send a trap when the bulk IO loader is full. _ Ian Smith -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Kelly Sent: 04 May 2006 13:34 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU 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. Regards, Bill Bill Kelly Auburn University OIT 334-844-9917 Gill, Geoffrey L. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/03/06 11:32 PM 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.

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: Drive Inconsistencies
Paths go offline due to scsi errors on the line. The drive doesn't actually report an error so the drive entity stays online.

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.

Re: Q STG hangs during reclamation
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?

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!
