LTO devclass and PREFIX?
Hi there, We have the venerable IBM 3584, and I created a devclass dbtape with a prefix of TDB. I then printed a set of barcodes TDB001L2 ... TDB015L2. Checked in the tapes as scratch, labels=b, etc. q libvol shows them. When I went to backup db devc=dbtape, it picked a scratch tape with a different prefix. Does the PREFIX option actually do anything on an LTO library? What I want is to use the PREFIX attribute to control which tapes can be used for a database backup, rather than maintaining a file of appropriate volume labels. TIA, --Jim
Re: LTO devclass and PREFIX?
Hi Jim, As far as I know the PREFIX does not do anything if you have barcode labeled tapes. The PREFIX is used only for non-barcode labeled tapes. Mind you, if you have a library with a barcode reader, you always should use barcode labeled tapes. Met vriendelijke groet, With kind regards, Richard van Denzel. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Zajkowski Sent: dinsdag 14 februari 2006 13:03 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: LTO devclass and PREFIX?

Re: 3584/3494
The 3494 tracks where a tape is and TSM depends on the library manager to do the right thing. While the 3584 knows which slot a tape is in (see the 3584 library specialist), TSM also tracks the tape's location. With a 3584, a TSM 'q libvol f=d' has the home element filled in with the tape slot element number; with a 3494 the same command has the home element field as blank. David Ehresman [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/13/06 6:44 PM I'm wondering if someone can tell me how these 2 libraries differ as it relates to how the library knows what slot a tape is in. I know in the 3494 there is a library manager but unless I've missed something I don't see that type of unit in a 3584. Does the TSM server keep this information local to the server?

Re: LTO devclass and PREFIX?
The PREFIX controls what is written on the internal label as a dataset name. From the 'help def devclass' output: PREFIX Specifies the high level qualifier of the data set name that the server writes into the sequential access media labels. For each sequential access volume assigned to this device class, the server uses this prefix to create the data set name. This parameter is optional. The default value is ADSM. The maximum length of this prefix is 8 more... (ENTER to continue, 'C' to cancel) characters. If you have already established a media label naming convention that supports your current management system, use a volume prefix that conforms to your naming conventions. Values specified for this parameter must meet the following conditions: o The value is to be made up of qualifiers, which can contain up to 8 characters (including periods). For example, the following value would be acceptable: AB.CD2.E o The qualifiers must be separated by a single period. o The first letter of each qualifier must be alphabetical or national (@,#,$), followed by alphabetical, national, hyphen, or numeric characters. An example of a tape volume data set name using the default prefix is ADSM.BFS.

Re: AW: [ADSM-L] Automating server scripts
Instead of using wait=yes on the run commands, use that in the commands within the individual scripts. ie: run script1 run script2 run script3 run script4 If script1,2,3,4 all have TSM commands that run in the foreground either by design or using wait=yes, then those scripts will run serially like you desire - you can also look at using the new serial and parallel commands. It's easy to test out your individual scripts by just running them from the command line - if the script runs through and returns your prompt right away all the commands are running in the background. If the prompt doesn't come back until everything in the script is finished, then everything is running in the foreground like you want. This is where the new migrate stgpool and reclaim stgpool commands come in handy because they can be forced to run in the foreground now, which wasn't possible before. __ John Monahan Consultant Infrastructure Solutions Group Computech Resources, Inc.

IBM.fc.hba-api is not at the required level.
I just upgraded my AIX TSM server from 5.2.3.2 to 5.2.3.3 (the problem with REPAIR STGVOL deadlock has bitten us 3-times in the past week). After the reboot, we noticed this error message: ANR8227E Fileset devices.common.IBM.fc.hba-api is not at the required level. My guess is that the error has been there in the past and we have been missing it. It doesn't seem to effect anything. However, we have not been able to figure out: a. What is the required level b. Where can we find this required level. All attempts at searching IBM and Google keep refering to SAN DISCOVERY and V5.2/3 of AIX. We are on AIX V5.1 with service level 4 (yes, we know we are behind and are trying to schedule to install the maintenance). Since the only devices this system uses that are on the SAN is the tape drives, I don't know if this even matters. Can someone enlighten us ?

Ignoring the reasons why I'm migrating before backing up, here's an example of what I use: TSM:q scr backmig_STG f=raw * SCRIPT BACKMIG_STG to backup and migrate storage pools select SCHEDULE_NAME from ADMIN_SCHEDULES where SCHEDULE_NAME='EXITIFEXIST' IF (RC_OK) exit PARALLEL UPD STG DISKPOOL MIGPRO=5 HI=65 LO=5 UPD STG DISKPOOL_NOVLT MIGPRO=3 HI=75 LO=5 migrate stg diskpool_novlt lo=5 WAIT=YES migrate stg diskpool lo=5 WAIT=YES SERIAL select SCHEDULE_NAME from ADMIN_SCHEDULES where SCHEDULE_NAME='EXITIFEXIST' IF (RC_OK) exit PARALLEL backup stg diskpool copypool maxpr=1 WAIT=YES backup stg tapepool copypool maxpr=4 wait=YES SERIAL select SCHEDULE_NAME from ADMIN_SCHEDULES where SCHEDULE_NAME='EXITIFEXIST' IF (RC_OK) exit PARALLEL backup stg DBARCHPOOL copypool maxpr=4 wait=yes SERIAL -Josh-Daniel Davis On 06.02.14 at 09:05 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 09:05:42 -0500 From: Timothy Hughes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: AW: [ADSM-L] Automating server scripts Hello all, I set up a script to run every hour. with the following commands in the script.

Re: Tape Question 3592 and 3590 drives
Have you seen this? -- Problem Procedure to add a new 3592 tape drive on 3494 library Solution This can be necessary when 3590E drives are correctly defined on AIX and TSM as well, however new 3592 tape drives are to be added to the 3494 library. These are configured in the Operating System and on TSM. Define the devclass for new device with the command: DEFine DEVclass devclass_name LIBRary=library_name DEVType=3592 FORMAT=drive Attempting to checkin a new tape using this kind of drive at this point results in the error: ANR8847E No 3590-type drives are currently available in library . ANR8426E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME for volume xx in library failed. Looking at the drive status it in an UNKNOWN state, while by mtlib it works correctly. To correct this, it is necessary to use separate library partitions when using 2 different media types within a given library. This is documented in the README file of 5.1.7.2, specifically involving the 3592 drives when the support for this new drive model was introduced, as follows: However, for 3494 libraries with two device types (any combination of 3490, 3590, and 3592) the following idea has to be followed: one device type per library object. Thus, for 3592 support, a new library object will have to be made for these drives. Please refer to the README file available with the 5.1.7.2 release of the TSM Server at: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/server/AIX/5.1.7.2/TSMSRVAIX5172.README.SRV This information is missing from some newer releases of the README file and this documentation oversight is being addressed with the APAR IC39118. In the case of the 3494 library, the two logical libraries will be pointing to the same device (/dev/lmcp3) for the library changer. Note that this can be different with other libraries. How different library manufacturers support logical partitioning may vary.

You can also mix 3592 drives and 3590 drives in the library but not in one frame. We have upgraded our l12-frame to a l22-frame : this includes a new os/2-PC and the frames needed for the new 3592 -drives ( maximum 4 Drives in l22 ) and placed the new 3592 Drives in there. You may move the old 3590 Drives into another D12 -drive- frame: we have done that. One thing is that you may not forget the total number of Drives you plan and the number of serial-ports for the Drives ... if you excceed 8 Drives and currently have 8 Ports available you have to extend the number of ports too.

Re: Expire Inventory
Depends entirely on your server. There's no chart based on the overall load incurred; however, the extra I/O is all actlog. If your DB performance has room to spare, then it shouldn't be a problem. You could always turn it on for a day and compare your expiration performance the next day with: select activity, cast((end_time) as date) as Date, - (examined/cast((end_time-start_time) seconds - as decimal(18,13))*3600)Pages backed up/Hr - from summary where activity like '%DB%' and - days(end_time) - days(start_time)=0 -Josh On 06.02.13 at 09:05 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 09:05:16 -0500 From: David E Ehresman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Expire Inventory Instead, you may want to run EXPire Inventory with Quiet=No Does the QUIET=NO vs QUIET=YES on expirations have much of an effect on the overall speed of expiration?

Re: Why are Macs so slow?
OK, I set it to NO and things did speed up quite a bit. But there's a rub: The GUI client on Mac behaves as though the default were NO. If you un-check the Use memory-saving algorithm checkbox, then it should place the MEMORYEFFICIENTBACKUP NO option into the User Preferences File. But it doesn't. You have to go edit the file by hand. I agree that the default should be NO, especially with modern Macs that have plenty of memory, and in that case the GUI would be working correctly. Thanks for the tip! Roger Deschner University of Illinois at Chicago [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, 13 Feb 2006, Paul Zarnowski wrote: Yes, we discovered this as well. The default for this option was changed awhile back, and is now ON by default. I believe it was changed to ON because of older Macs that did not have a lot of memory to spare. Now, of course, newer Macs have lots of memory and really don't need this option (IMHO). I think the default should have been left OFF, the way it used to be. In any case, try turning it off and see what that does to your performance numbers. At 05:01 PM 2/12/2006, jsiegle wrote: Roger, Would you believe that memoryefficientbackup is on by default?
