RAC backups
Guys, Does anyone have any guidance on using TSM scheduled TDP backups with Oracle RAC multi-node grids? We're due to implement a 4-way RAC cluster (on AIX) and ultimately we'll need the database(s) to be backed up and restored via any of the 4 nodes in the grid. Any advice would be appreciated.

FW: Win2K LANFREE
Folks, OPENTEST environment Server - TSM 5.2.3.0 on AIX 5.2 Client - Win2K with StorageAgent 5.2.3.0 and TDP for SQL 2.2 Library - 3494 ATL with two 3590 drives We're currently testing our upgrade process to 5.2.3.x. I've succesfully done an Oracle LANFree (TSM 5.2.3.0 on AIX 5.1) backup to our newly upgraded TSM test server, so now we're attempting to test the Win2K SQL LANfree node. TDPSQL backups are fine across the LAN, though when we set ENABLELANFREE YES in dsmsta.opt, sessions are started on the server as expected and are visible when the StorageAgent is interrogated (showing in MediaW state), but the these mounts are never fulfilled. The TSM server itself repeatedly mounts and dismounts the requested carts, whilst a query of the storage agent shows the sessions in perpetual MediaW. Running 'q mount' on the StorageAgent shows the sessions as WAITING FOR VOLUME even though the tapes have been mounted by the TSM Server. The volumes are all fine - in read-write status. Ultimately the LANFree backup fails with a SERVER MEDIA MOUNT NOT POSSIBLE message. Everything looks okay in the MMC - two tape devices are visible, the expected WWNs and serial numbers are there too. I'm stuck!

RMAN crosscheck command and ITSM for DB 5.2
*SMers In the ITSM for Databases v5.2 (Oracle) manual SC32-9064-00 it states: Be aware that the RMAN crosscheck command will expire backups on the Tivoli Storage Manager Server that belong to a different Tivoli Storage Manager node or file space. ...three times (relating to policy set up, deleting old backups and using utilities). Our DBAs were understandably a bit concerned having seen this and would like some clarification, since they use crosscheck as part of their backup expiration/deletion scripts. It seems to indicate that the crosscheck command will expire Oracle backups for ALL our nodes backing up to a given TSM server, although i'm sure this can't be the case.

TDP2.2 SQL error ANR2579E return code 418
ITSMers, We've got a TDP 2.2 client (NT4 sp6) backing up to a TSM server (AIX 4.3.3, TSM 4.2.2) which is failing as below. 02/09/03 23:30:43 ANR2579E Schedule JUNO_SQL in domain JUNOSQL for node SQLJUNO1032_TDP failed (return code 418). The TSM error message isn't entirely helpful ANR2579E Schedule schedule name in domain domain name for node node name failed (return code return code). Explanation: This message is displayed when a client reports failure in executing a scheduled action. The return code reported by the client is displayed. System Action: Server operation continues. User Response: Examine the node's schedule log to determine the cause for the failure. Is the return code component generated by SQL itself, and is there an online resource anywhere where i can look up their meanings? For the most part we don't have access to our client machines to examine the logs (unless we do a couple of backflips...through hoops...whilst whistling the Star Wars themeetc) so any quick means of identifying the probable cause of an error is exceedingly useful.

Re: how to add tape to library?
Alex, Our setup: TSM 4.2.2 AIX 4.3.3 3494 Tape Library 3590E tape drives Might not be the same problem but... We had tape issues a month or so ago on 3590 drives - we just couldn't get them to 'checkin label libv' successfully. It appeared that the tape media had been (internally) labelled by the manufacturer with drives that were at a higher level of microcode than ours. Upgrading to the latest 'code level did the job. Matt -Original Message- From: Alexander Lazarevich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 October 2002 15:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: how to add tape to library? I am unable to add a new tape to the library, and I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can someone give me some tips? We've got an IBM 3575 L18 tape library, runing adsm server 3.1 on an AIX 4.3.3 machine. Tape library has 2 drives in it (/dev/rmt0, /dev/rmt1). We have one library named ITG-3575. We've got several failed tapes in the libray and I must replace them with new good ones. The new ones are coming right out of a Magstar MP tape box which is brand spanking new. Here's the commands I entered, and yes, ive moved all data off the tape first. # move all data off the tape, the remove it. adsm checkout libvolume ITG-3575 xx checklabel=no adsm reply 001 # define new tape volume adsm define volume ITG-3575TAPE 311E98 ACCESS=READWrite # put in the new tape volume adsm checkin libvolume ITG-3575 311E98 status=private adsm reply # the first two stages seem to work, but when i try the third stage i get the following error: ANR8335I 015: Verifying label of 3570 volume 3121CF in drive TAPEDRIVE1 (/dev/rmt1). ANR8353E 015: I/O error reading label of volume in drive TAPEDRIVE1 (/dev/rmt1). ANR8786I 016: Remove 3570 volume from entry/exit port; insert volume 3121CF R/W into entry/exit port of library ITG-3575 within 60 minute(s); issue 'REPLY' along with the request ID when ready. so i try it again and again and it tries verifying the tape in each of the 2 drives, but it never verifys so i just have to cancel the process. PAIN IN THE ARS!!! so, the messages manual says to make sure the tape is inserted correctly, which it is, then make sure the volume has been labeled using the dsmlabel command, which is wierd cause i though you only use that command on the drives not on tapes???, and then it say to check if the DEVICE parameter is correct on the DEFINE DRIVE command, which im pretty sure it is. our library has been working for years, but ive just never needed to replace tapes until now. so im pretty certain the drives work fine, i mean we backup and restore data just fine, all the time. drives must be okay. so i must be making some error in my commands to insert the new tape. any ideas? thanks in advance, alex ------ Alex Lazarevich | Systems | Imaging Technology Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (217)244-1565 | www.itg.uiuc.edu ------ --- This e-mail is intended only for the above addressee.

mtlib demount on NT
Folks, We've got TSM Server 4.1.0.0 on WinNT4 Could anyone advise what s ithe best method for dismounting a cartridge left on a drive as a result of a TSM server reboot. I've tried an mtlib demount: C:\WINNT\system32 mtlib -los3494p3 -d -fmt3.0.0.2 where the library in question is a remote 3494 containing a 3590E1A drive, but it just seems to hang I get output for a 'query mount' (below) so there definitely is communication between the box and the library. C:\WINNT\system32 mtlib -los3494p3 -qM Should i be using some other utility? Could there be an underlying network issue/driver level? I don't seem to be able to find any mtlib documentation that might prove helpful - if anyone could point me in the right direction i'd be much obliged.

Scheduling backups with BACKHOME!/TSM
Hi *SMers! Our Tandem guys want to backup one of their boxes using Backhome!/TSM but on a regular scheduled basis (which I don't believe Backhome can manage of itself). I don't think that there is a TSM scheduler available for the Tandem platform. Has anyone got any advice on the best way to go about doing this?

Server 4.1 Patch levels
*SMers, One of our servers went over in a catastrophic way a week ago and we are now in the process of rebuilding it. NT4 has been reinstalled and we are about to reinstall TSM4.1 However, we had patched it to 4.1.2.0 to overcome some DB2 issues but it appears that the relevant patches are no longer available, at least on the Boulder FTP site (although earlier patches are). Politics dictate that the department want the server as it originally was. Does anyone know why TSM4120_server is no longer available?.

NT drive mappings
We've got two TSM 4.1 servers running on NT4 testing boxes which are SAN-connected to a 3494 tape library. Intermittently the drive definitions for the servers get screwed up when the boxes are rebooted and Windows merrily re-assigns the devices (for example mt1.0.0.6 becomes mt1.0.0.4). Trawling through the registry gives the new device info so we can update the drives in TSM as necessary so that it matches up, however this is a bit of a long winded process which won't be acceptable to our support staff when the servers go into 'live' status. My question is: Is there a way of forcing NT to stick with the same devices when the server is rebooted, and if not, is there a more elegant way of grabbing the device details (since the frontline support guys probably won't be allowed to go hacking around in the registry) and perhaps dropping them into a script to update the drive definitions in TSM?
