Re: Solaris TSM Server Performance
Hi Brenda, There are several commands we used to set this up: DEFINE DBVOLUME /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s4 FORMATSIZE=24000 WAIT=NO DEFINE LOGVOLUME /dev/rdsk/c1t0d1s4 FORMANTSIZE=1 WAIT=NO They format in about a minute and we are getting an average of about 50-60 GB/hr transfer rate. On Exchange tests we ran an average of 80 GB/hr to back up and 39 GB/hr to restore the full database. Remember that using raw volumes is quick but it can EASILY get you into trouble.

client acceptor question
Hi, Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am using scheduler service for my clients for a long time and I do not have too much trouble with them. Today I read that Tivoli recommends to use client acceptor. Some of my clients have limited memory so using it can help me. (or at least I want to use it) I tried to use it on my client and installed the service (client acceptor with managedservices schedule option) but the backup never started. Now I am confused with this 3 services: scheduler, client acceptor and remote agent. Can anybody tell me simply what are their purposes briefly? Regards, Burak

Re: Help Understanding Mgmt classes
Thank you Don and Zlatko for all the information on management classes. It really helped. I know what we are doing is against the TSM backup ideology. The system was originally setup to do AFS backups only, which doesn't really use the management class. The type of backup and it's retention is handled through AFS. Now we have another group who wishes to use our TSM system for their Win2k backups. We currently do not do copypools as our resources are limited and we didn't need them for the type of data we back up under AFS. We save a week old copy of the backups offsite and that was fine for us. The other users who are now testing their backups on our TSM server are taking fulls once a week for purpose of offsite storage. We intend on changing this once they have decided whether they are going to continue to use the TSM server for backups. They don't care for the copypool backup idea and prefer a snapshot taken once a month by using instant archive. We are still in discussions with them on what their requirements are and how we want to accomplish them and how much additional hardware will be required to meet their requirements. Thanks again for all your help. Diana Quoting Zlatko Krastev [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Diana, The only major flaw I see is your intention to use absolute. This is against the TSM backup ideology. I am interested what is the business reason to go this way. The rest is as designed but I personally am not happy with your design. If you change default class (be it through setting another one as default or by activating another policy set), on next backup all files will be re-bound to that class. But if in the new policyset you set retextra=4 on next expiration 26 versions would be deleted. Having two mgmt classes differing only by mode will not give you two times 30 versions. The number of versions kept will be min(30,30) - again 30. Do not overcomplicate your policy. Create one class (or more) and use it. If you still want to have full backup on Sundays - I would use selective backup in Sunday's schedule and leave policy/classes unchanged. Again - is there actual need to resend all the data over the LAN? It is on the server already. Lets manage it better. If you can define the requirements in *business* terms only and prevent full/incremental/differential ideology to predefine the solution - this list can help you. TSM is very different from other backup products. And sometimes its traditional usage looks to me as driving a jet fighter on a highway with 100 km/h instead of flying with 1500 km/h over shorter route. Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by:ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:Help Understanding Mgmt classes Hi All - I believe I have my management classes all defined with a major flaw. We do scheduled modified backups during the week and scheduled absolute backups on Sundays. I have two management classes defined. Both have the same retentions coded but one has absolute for the copy mode and one has modified coded. I have a script that swaps the default management class on Sundays. After rereading the manual and looking at the archives of this list, it seems there's no guarantee that the backup will use the default Management class. Also, if I've specified to keep 30 versions of the data in both management classes, does that mean I'm going to retain 30 versions from the absolute and 30 versions of the modified? I really want 30 versions all together. My thought is to create multiply policy sets, and activate the policy set that contains only the management class I want. I would then specify a retention of 4 versions for my policy set that contains the management class for absolute. This won't delete any of my 30 versions that were saved using the policy set that contains the modified management class, will it? Does this make sense, or am I still way off here? Diana

Re: comments on disk storage plan
With only 6 nodes pushing data to the TSM server at a time, what kind of throughput are you expecting the TSM server to have to handle (is the network going to limit throughput? How much data do you expect the nodes themselves to push?) I.e. do you really think with that many disks in your disk pool you're going to see some discernable difference between jfs and raw logical volumes? You'll see terrific performance regardless of which route you go but you need to leverage the advantage of having so many disks... Keep in mind how TSM uses disk storage pool volumes. In your below scenario you suggest having 32 disk pool volumes and yet you also mention only appox 6 nodes will be backing up at once. Assuming only 1 thread per node, you'll only be accessing 6 of those 32 disk volumes at any one time. The other's will sit idle while each node essentially backs up to only 1 disk at a time. You wouldn't be leveraging the advantage of having so many disks.. Using striping or even RAID-5 makes much more sense. E.g. you could do as Rich mentioned below. Or perhaps 6 RAID-5 arrays of 5 disks each with 2 hot spares? Certainly makes admining easier since you'll never lose data. You're going to have to take all these variables into consideration. How is TSM going to hit those volumes you create? How is AIX going to write to the disks given the configuration you're considering? How are the SSA adapters and pathways going to handle the given configuration?

I have a Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP2, running IIS, that the scheduled file system backup fails on nightly. After doing some testing, with both the gui and backup command line, I traced the problem down to backing up the system object : event log. When an attempt is made to backup the object the client crashes until the schedule fails. When this problem started the server was running client version 4.1.2.14, I have upgraded to client version 4.2.1.32 and the problem still occurs. The DSMSCHED.LOG file shows the file system backs up and the system object : COM+ Database, then nothing else is written to the log. Any help would be appreciated.

That's nice, but with bazillions of nodes in every department on campus, that will take until sometime in the year 2004, especially with the handholding it will take to get PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE going for computer illiterate users. I still need to circumvent this, at the server level. (My phone is ringing!) Backing out to the old server version is not an option. Users still running Client Version 3 are being advised of this issue before they consider upgrading. Roger Deschner University of Illinois at Chicago [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mirrored DELETE DBVOL, LOGVOL?
Oh, I guess it's just my paranoid mind at work again, but DELETE DBVOL scares me. I'm using it to migrate the TSM Database from old disks to new, faster disks. So, I attached the new dbvol and its mirror, fiddled with EXTEND DB and REDUCE DB to make it right, and did DELETE DBVOL on the old mirror. Then I did DELETE DBVOL on the old primary copy. Oops! Now I'm really exposed! There is only one copy of the old database volume, while this rather lengthly copying process proceeds. Is there any way to do a DELETE DBVOL in a mirrored way - that is delete all mirrored copies of a DBVOL at once, so that if a disk crashes in the middle of it, I will not lose my Database? That's the whole point of Database mirroring, isn't it? I'm starting to think AIX JFS mirroring might have some advantages over TSM Database/Log mirroring.

Re: TDP for Lotus Domino Backups/Archives
Del, Thanks for your help. I created a new node and created a new schedule that does a full selective backup. But then, I realized that I am still using the same management class with the normal retention period of my incrementals. Does this mean my selective backups are of no use since they just get expired. Do I need to create another Management Class, if yes, would I also need to create a backup copy group? Or can I just create/copy another dsm.opt file which refers to the new management class and then refer to the new dsm.opt file in the dominc.cmd script.

Re: Mirrored DELETE DBVOL, LOGVOL?
IMO, I think this is a moot issue. The 1st thing 'delete dbvol' does is move any db data from the subject dbvol (both mirror-halves, because they are still sync'd) to another dbvol - but not to the other mirror-half. Both of the mirror-halves be empty when the 1st 'delete dbvol' completes. The primary is defined, but is empty and won't really be part of the DB until another 'extend db' has been performed.

Re: Disaster Recovery Site

And for sure there is no enough throughput for weekend's SAP DB (even being one and the only). So you have to reconsider something.

I have it visualized how I would like to do it, but I thought I would run it past you more experienced TSM'ers in hopes you might catch my flaws or give me some better advise. Here are the details: Colorado NSM Server -- AIX 4.3.3, TSM 4.1.3 We will be changing to from a NSM server to a TSM server V5.1 in the near future. LTO 3584 2 Domains: DM1 - 46 Servers SAP - 19 Servers Clients run the gamout from V3.7.2.19 to V4.2.1.32 Average 90 gig on weekdays and 1.5 TB on weekends (due to SAP database) New Jersey Site 1 2 Domains: DM1 (this is part of the DM1 in Colorado) - 2 Servers LAB - 1 Server and 3 Workstations Both Domains combined have 20 gig total data Using Backup Exec with DLT drives attached to servers New Jersey Site 2 1 Domain: DM1 (this is part of the DM1 in Colorado) - 2 Servers 17 gig total data Using Backup Exec with DLT drives attached to servers Here is what I would like to do: Put a TSM Server and LTO 3583 in New Jersey Site 1 to backup both New Jersey sites. We would do this with a T1 that is dedicated to only the backups. The TSM server would be a W2K server. Use the New Jersey Site 1 as a disaster recovery site for Colorado and vise versa. I would backup the tapepool in Colorado to a special Copypool (i.e. COLOcopypool) in New Jersey I would backup the tapepool in New Jersey to a special Copypool (i.e. NJcopypool) in Colorado. We have two option to get the data back and forth (my LAN WAN person is investigating this for me): Dedicated line between the two sites A T1 (dedicated ot just backups) going through a frame. Here are my questions: Since they will be Disaster Recovery sites for each other, does the TSM server need to be the same operating system? Would the backup tapepool to copypool be the best way to do this? Has anyone else setup a system like this and how did you do it? Also has anyone had to provide an ROI for TSM? I can think of some basic things like saving on headcount (but I have been a one person team for years so that wont fly). Sorry this email is so long. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Re: dsmc via cmdline
No.. normally when you first install the client on linux, even with passwordaccess generate you must initially run dsmc and perform a query or something such that it asks for your login and password. Once done, it saves the password in an encrypted file and won't ask you again in the future. I'm trying to automate the install and start the dsmc process without having to have some user start it once to set the password. Isn't there a way to run dsmc and specify the password from the commandline e.g. if you have a ksh/perl script that calls dsmc in it such that you can specify the password as an argument to perform an operation? E.g. I want a script to do a dsmc I but I also don't want my client to be in passwordaccess generate mode. With dsmadmc you can specify a login and password as argument (e.g. dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin 'q stg').. I want to do something similar with dsmc..

Re: Problem backing up a client
the system object : event log. When an attempt is made to backup the object the client crashes until the schedule fails. When this problem started the server was running client version 4.1.2.14, I have upgraded to client version 4.2.1.32 and the problem still occurs. I experienced a similar problem. I only found out that the problem is somewhere during the backup of the systemobject. I never found out on which individual file the client crashed. I then renamed the filespace (\\machine\c$) and the next time the backup was ok (it backed up the whole drive, of course). But during the next backup, the client crashed again. Then I moved the DOMAIN SYSTEMOBJECT to the beginning of the list of domains, and since then it works. Previously, that statement it was the last domain statement. The working domain list looks like that: DOMAIN systemobject DOMAIN C: DOMAIN D: DOMAIN E: DOMAIN F: Tschau Alex

Re: Mirrored DELETE DBVOL, LOGVOL?
You can delete (copy) dbvol even without reducing the DB and having it almost full. If the dbvol to be deleted is a mirror copy TSM LVM breaks the mirror (no any data move) and just deletes volume entry. Actual data move happens when you move primary/last mirror copy of the dbvol in question. And TSM LVM does not forbid you to have one volume with two (or even three) mirror copies and another one without any redundancy. It is just the same as AIX LVM - you can have one LV with mirrors and another without.

Re: how can I setup a admin account which only allow three comman ds
To my knowledge this is the only way it is possible. I have done some elaborate similar things. The best thing is to do make the script executable by a group and not readable because the userid and password will be in there. I have found however that dsmadmc requires root access because of the ShMem access so we use sudo. That secures it even further because the person can be authorized only to execute the specific script. I am sure there are ways around the root access requirement for the shared memory. Paul D.
