Re: Including logs in DB2 backups
Hi I'm not a fan of include logs for the same reasons you mentioned, we had backup failures caused by the retrieve processes stealing mount points. We've excluded the logs and thoroughly tested recovery. It doesn't cause any issues as long as your normal archive log backups to TSM are working. Have you got a test environment you can use to convince your DBA's?

tsmdlst - no wwpns for devices
Hi All Hope you can help. I;ve set up a few storage agents on win2k over the last couple of months but have come across a problem recently with a couple of servers. After configuring the tape drives in windows, i.e installing the device driver, and installing storage agent, tsmdlst displays all the tape devices so i can see the mt.x.x.x.x devices but none of them are showing any WWPN information so its a bit tricky to define my paths on the TSM Server. I have another server using the same drives and tsmdlst on it shows the wwpns ok. TSM Server 5.2.2.3 Storage agent 5.2.2.3 Win2k SP3 has anyone got any ideas as to why the WWPNs are not displaying and how i fix this.? Thanks Chris _ Get ready for school!

dsmserv
David, I thought dsmserv.dsk gets created when you run the dsmserv format so I'm not sure why that needs to be changed before running the format?

dsmserv
All A quick question ( TSM Server win2000 ) I am trying to restore a db backup from this morning. I want to restore it into a new instance on the same server but using different drives for the dbvols and log vols. Is there a quicker way to do this other than mkdir drserver cd drserver ..\server\dsmserv -k drserver format 1 newlogvol size 3 newdbvol size etc etc ..\server\dsmserv -k restore db todate=10/25/2003 etc etc etc Also if I ran the format and didn't allocate enough space for the database, is there a way to format/add just one more volume to make the extra space before doing the restore , or would i need to start the format again giving all the dbvols again? Our database is 67Gb so the format takes a while :-) Cheers Chris _ Send instant messages to anyone on your contact list with MSN Messenger 6.0. Try it now FREE! http://msnmessenger-download.com
NpPeek : no data with journaling
Hi All Following on from the previous mails regarding journaling and pipes, thanks Pete, I am getting the following scenario on a win2k client, TSM client 5.1.5.2 The incremental starts and uses the journal. I then get loads of NpPeek : No data messages and the backup does not finish. The schedule has a status of missed but in the dsmsched.log the last lines are : 11-02-2003 23:46:50 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN DAILY_INCR 11-02-2003 11-02-2003 23:46:51 Using journal for '\\etvdcrsfcs01\i$' Any ideas as to what I can do to stop this happening?

tsm device driver does not start on boot !
Hi all I'm implementing a new TSM server on win2k. Its attached to 2 3584 tape libraries with 10 drives. Server is at SP3 TSM Server is at 5.1.5.4 adsmscsi is at 5.1.5.8 The problem I'm getting is on reboot of the server. The TSM device driver does not start, even though it is set to boot, which means the 3584 libraries can not be initialised. When I start the device driver manually it comes up and the libraried are initialised. I do not have any problems with the tape drives that are controlled by the native device drivers. In the windows event log it shows the message that the Adsmscsi failed to start with an event id of 7026. Has anyone seen this before? Any thoughts? Regards Chris _ Tired of spam?

Import node tape mount problem !
All I'm having a problem with export/import of a node from 1 TSM server to another. Both servers are at 5.1.5.0 and have a scsi attached LTO drive attached. The client filespaces that I have exported are unicode. The export to tape seemed to work successfully going by what was in the actlog. Its on the import that I'm having a problem. I kick off the import process telling it the nodename, giving it a * for unicode filespace name and also entering the volume name the export was done to. The process kicks off and asks for the tape to be mounted. I mount the tape, in the actlog is shows that the label has been verifyed and that the tape is mounted. All fine so far. However the process itself just sits there still saying its waiting for the tape to be mounted. Anyone got any ideas.? Am I doing something wrong somewhere?

exchange restore to different server
All, I have been trying to get Exchange 2000 restore working to a different server name with no luck so far. (Everything is on Win2K SP3) We have cluster node1 backing up successfully with a storage group of "First Storage Group". We also have another standalone server on the same network called node2. TSM client 5.1.5.0 and TDP 2.2 for Exchange are installed on both. On Node 2 the TDP Exchange GUI can see the backups from Node1 when you click on the restore tab. The command line also works o.k using /fromserver and /excserver. However, when I try and execute the restore I get "An Unknown API error has occured" Node 2 is in a seperate forest, site etc but other than that the Exchange configuration is identical ( apart from server name ) I know this can be done from reading posts on the newsgroup so any help greatly appreciated!

RE : TDP Exchange expiration
Del, I agree with you reply entirely, the TSM server should handle inactivation but in our case it didn't. It was definitely a mailstore not a storage group that was deleted.

TDP Exchange - server expiration problem
Hi all We have been testing TDP for Exchange , Version 2.2 on win2k backing up Exchange 2000 to TSM 5.1.5 On the TSM server we can see that backups go back 30 days even though the copygroup parameters are set to 7 days. On further investigation we found that a mailstore backup was still showing as Active even though that mailstore was deleted some time ago ( not sure when ). Looks like the TSM server is having a problem setting the deleted mailstore backups from Active to Inactive. Anyone else seen this?? Also whats the way around this because in TDP 2.2 you cannot manually delete a backup ( I think ). Do I have to hack the backups table on the TSM server somehow to change the status for that mailstore to Inactive? We will be doing further testing so I'll let you know what we find.

TDP Exchange - restore to different server
Hi all Hoping you can point me in the right direction with this...alas my exchange knowledge is next to none existent.! I have configured a windows 2000 exchange cluster all backing up to TSM no probs. This cluster exchange server is server04. Another standalone Exchange server has been built called server13. Both servers have "First Storage Group" and a "Mailbox Store" On server13 I have configured nodename to be server04 in its dsm.opt. Hence when I fire up the TDP Gui and click on the restore tab, I can see all of Server04 backups sitting there. When I try and restore "Mailbox Store" I get ACN05350E , an unknown Exchange API arror has occured. and in the event viewer a message saying "0xC7FE1F42 Database Not Found" I'm thinking that I need to get the exchange boys to rebuild server13 and call it server04 from an exchange point of view. Is this correct or should I be able to do Exchange mailbox restores across different server names? TSM Server is 5.1 latest TSM Client is 5.1 latest TDP Exchange is 2.2 TIA Chris _ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Incremental failure - NFS?
All, Over the weekend I have seen that if an NFS filesystem is not working properly then incremental backups will not work. This happened on 3 AIX 4.3.3 servers which lost some of their NFS mounts, i.e. df command was hanging on them. If I tried to do incrementals but they just sat there doing nothing. After rebooting one server, it forgot about the NFS mounts, i.e. df command completed ok, then incrementals on it ran fine. Is this the expected behaviour of TSM client?

recovery log and ckpt
Hi all Firstly let me thank those who helped me out last night getting my server back up after the recovery log filled.much better than IBM support...! I have found the culprit that caused the log to fill. It seems that when the incremental backups are running for a win2k cluster the log gets written to at approx 2.2Gb an hour. The incremental didn't even backup that much data, in terms of size but I guess there must have been loads of small files in there. The problem I have now is, how can I back up this cluster if it is going to fill the recovery log everytime. The log is 5196 Mb so cannot grow much bigger, alas we're on 4.1.5 Server and yes I've made management aware that we need to upgrade to take advantage of the new recovery log size features. Looking back through adsm.org people have mentioned the ckpt command. Does anyone know how well this works in rollforward mode??

Hi Could you tell me if there is a better way to achieve the following. Basically we had a period where archive data was going to the wrong storage pools. The archive copygroup setting has now been fixed but I have archive data that I want to move to the archive storage pools. To get the archive data into the correct storage pools I an planning to do the following 1) export node A filedata=archive devclass=3590class 2) delete filespace A * type=archive 3) import node A domain=samsp filedata=archive devclass=3590class dates=absolute vol=volume names I presume the import will look at the copygroup settings and put the archive data into the correct storage pool.
