Re: Restoring Data on A Damaged Tape
Any suggestions for a worst case scenario, where it is a primary pool tape which has not yet had a backup made? Had this happen this morning. Wrote 33GB onto a 3590E. The tape then became unreadable, the server error being I/O error reading label for libvolume 101144 in drive RMT1 (/dev/rmt/6st). Has anyone used any data recovery services? Is it even possible in this sort of situation? Thanks, Mike If it is a primary pool tape you just do a RESTORE VOLUME command on the TSM Server. The current tape will get marked destroyed and the data will actually go to other tapes in the pool from your copypool. If it is a copy pool tape, just do a DELETE VOLUME DISCARDDATA=YES. The next time you run a BACKUP STG command to the pool it will recreate the data from the primary disk and tape pools involved. Yes, it is just that simple. Paul D.

blocksize of TSM mt0 device on AIX
hi, I wonder how the blocksize of the mt devices could affect the performance of the backups. lsattr -El mt0 currently shows a value of 1024. Did anybody play with this? I did not find anything about it on the web. Any idea about the maximum settable value? thanxs Claudia
Antw: Re: TDP 4 Exchange,relationship between Full and Incremental Bac kup
Hi Paul, I understand the difference between a full, incremental and differential backup. My question point to this: To restore exchange I need one fullbackup or one fullbackup and a set of incrementals or one differential backup. However, I need one fullbackup. How can I or TDP secure that there is a correct set of full and incremental backups to restore from an incremental backup? Wolfgang Seay, Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] 15.05.02 05:57:10 Del, What folks do not understand about TDP for Exchange is that it is just a vehicle to store and manage exchange backkup objects. There are 3 types, full, incremental, differential. Full backs up everything including the recovery logs. Incremental backups what has changed since the last full or incremental. Incrementals have to be restore in total one at a time on top of the FULL to get back to where the failure is on time. Differential is all the changes since the last FULL every time you run it. Nothing is done with the logs on differential or incremental based on what I know, only on FULL are they backed up/deleted. I think I am right on this. The key is that Exchange just provides an intelligent object name and pours the data to TSM in that object. Think of it as a container. By having intelligent names the TDP can figure out what has to be done to restore the Exchange store. I think a clear explanation of how these TDPs generally work would really help many people on the list. MS-SQL is similar. But Oracle RMAN keeps the intelligence in its own RMAN catalog. SAP is similar to Oracle except the backup information (BKI) file is required to restore the database not the RMAN catalog. These are the ones I have researched and studied a little bit. Paul D.

Then the full backup doesn't run correct, and the old one is expired. Is the next incremental automaticly an full backup? Wolfgang, No, because the command to run a FULL backup is different than the command to run an INCREMENTAL backup. Thanks, Del
help dosn't work
Hi , I'm having a problem after an upgrade of TSM 4222 server, from a prevously version 4210, on AIX 433. The help on line dosn't work, when i try to use a simple help command, for example HELP REG LIC, i receive an output that is on a 1 line whithout carriage return. Can anybody help me to fix this? Many thanks in advance.
Re: Restoring Data on A Damaged Tape
Hi Mike! I would start an AUDIT VOLUME FIX=NO on the tape. This will tell you which files are damaged. Let's hope they are TSM backup files, not TDP backup files! Afterwards, you can run an AUDIT VOLUME FIX=YES. It will remove the damaged files from your database, so they will be backed up again during the next backup. Now you can run a MOVE DATA to empty the tape. If the tape is not readable at all, you will have to do a Q CONT to see what kind of backups are on that tape. You can then delete it with DISCARDDATA=YES. If the tape does contain damaged TDP files, it gets more complicated. When fi. you are using TDP for Oracle you will also have to tell the Oracle Recovery Catalog that the backup files are gone. I personally don't know how, but a Oracle Administrator should know.

Re: Antw: Re: TDP 4 Exchange,relationship between Full and Incremental Bac kup
My question point to this: To restore exchange I need one fullbackup or one fullbackup and a set of incrementals or one differential backup. However, I need one fullbackup. How can I or TDP secure that there is a correct set of full and incremental backups to restore from an incremental backup? Wolfgang, You are correct, to restore an Exchange server you need, ONE of the following: 1 Full backup (already has the logs it needs to recover) or 1 Full backup + NN incremental backups or 1 Full backup + 1 latest differential backup This is covered in Chapter 1 of the TDP for Exchange book under a section titled TDP for Exchange Backup Strategy Considerations TDP for Exchange version 2.2 will always keep the latest FULL backup until another FULL backup is completed succesfully. It will NOT expire any INCREMENTAL or DIFFERENTIAL backups that go with the latest FULL backup until the next FULL backup is completed succesfully. I hope that helps.

Is there any way to kill this short of halting the server?

Re: ANS1512E Return code = 1
Matt, From the TDP for SQL log you appended, the TDP for SQL log backups are working fine. There is something else failing or wrong in your script that is causing a non-zero return code to be sent back to the scheduler. Better take a closer look at the script.

Re: schedule ADSM
the fact that the domdsm.log contains nothing about the failed operation means maybe that it has been rejected before starting using the command line with means in return that it can be a problem between the node and the server ?? Mike, You are correct. If domdsm.log and dsm_month.log do not have an indication that the batch file was run, then you need to look at the how the scheduler instance has been defined, i.e. you will need to examine the parameters that it uses. In addition, you will need to look at the definition of the schedule itself. By the way.. I thought I'd mention a common problem that we see in this area... and that is if the OBJECT paramater of the COMMAND type schedule definition references a directory that contains spaces in the path... this can cause a problem if the definition is not correct. What is the OBJECTS option in the schedule definition set to? If it contains spaces, it should look something like this: OBJECTS='C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\domino\domino.cmd' Notice the usage of single and double quotes.

TDP for Oracle causing Mutex problems.
Stuart, Are you setting TDPO_NUM_BUFFERS to something to other than 1 (default)? Setting TDPO_NUM_BUFFERS to anything higher causes TDP Oracle to spawn threads for sending data buffers to the TSM Server. If you have TDPO_NUM_BUFFERS in your options file, comment it out using '*' and run again. If you still experience this behavior, you have a couple of options: 1. Upgrade TDP for Oracle to 2.2.1, and/or 2. Call Tivoli support and open a problem record. -- Date:Tue, 14 May 2002 13:11:47 +0100 From:Stuart Pitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TDP for Oracle causing Mutex problems. Hi, NT 4 Server running SP6a.

Activity Log not recording
Can anyone tell me why my activity log has stopped recording. Best I can tell is that it was flooded with ANR8216W Error sending data on socket 59. Reason 32. which I believe is from the web interface (which was probably me). This happened last night and nothing has been recorded in the activity log since. I have lots of room in my database and lots of room in my recovery log. I decreased the activity log retention and still it is not recording. Documentation says it will start recording once there is space in the database and/or recovery log. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you, Diana

Virtualnodename issue concerning Windows and AIX
Hello there, We stumbled onto the following problem, the hard way i may add. We have a mixed environment using AIX, Windows NT/2K and Sun Solaris. The Sun and NT boxes all run a very recent TSM client level. Some AIX boxes are running TSM client code by now as well, but most of the aren't on AIX 4.3.3 yet, so we can't upgrade them all. Our TSM server runs on AIX 4.3.3.x at level 4.2.1.9. Here comes the problem. One of our DBA's connected to TSM server using a windows tsm client, pretending to be a certain AIX node. Due to the optionsettings, the AUTOFSRENAME action kicked in, updating the FS information on that AIX box. The q node showed the following. tsm: ABPTSM1q node rs6sv090* Node Name Platform Policy Domain Days Since Days Since Locked? Name Last Acce- Password ss Set - -- -- -- --- RS6SV090 AIX DOMRS_TST 1 1 No RS6SV090Z WinNTDOMRS_TST 1 182 No The *Z node is the renamed version, so we could continue the backups to the original node name, being rs6sv090. As you can see, the *Z AIX box is shown as a NT box. Huh?! When connecting the original node from the AIX command line, we are told that the client is down-level, so we cannot connect. No backups or restores are possible using the original node. No backups or restores are possible from any AIX node, no mather which client code we run. To make the original data available, we exported the *Z data, and imported it into the original nodename, without updating the client information using the replacedefs=no option during the import. This took a while though. I think it's not such a good functionality, that we can use a windows tsm client to connect as an AIX box, rendering the AIX data unavailable. To me, this feels like a BUG. I'm working on the following questions: Did any of you run into such a problem too? Does anyone know of a way to prevent someone from performing the connect like this? Is this problem known to Tivoli? If yes, what is being done on this issue? Any comment is appreciated. kind regards. Ilja G.

Not able to use additional cartridge slots
Good morning, TSM 4.1.4 running on AIX 4.3.3 I recently upgrade my StorageTek L700 tape library slot capacity from 216 to 384. When I tried to add tapes beyond the old storage space, I was getting ANR8314E Library is full message. Does any one know how to make TSM to recognize and use the new slots? TIA __ Do You Yahoo!?

They end up having to reboot both machines to free up the resources. Is this anything that you've heard of relating to TSM? There is nothing that I see that indicates TSM is causing this problem.

How to suppress ANR2963W
Hi all!
I use SQL in my scripts to determine whether backup finished or not and it
worked OK until few days ago the following message appeared:

require a significant amount of time to compute.
Do you wish to proceed? (Yes/No)
The script hangs at this place. Is there way to suppress this message?
Here is a fragment of the script:
integer KEEPWAITING;

Re: NetWare file size restriction error ANE4025E
error message manual states this is a restore/retrieve error, not a backup/archive error... and from the error manual text it sounds like a Netware client limitation in that the ID you are operating under isn't allowed to allocate a file that large (4 GB) I believe it was in TSM 3.7.2 when it was first stated that TSM will support any file the OS will so I wouldn't think it would be a TSM problem/restriction...

Re: ANE4018E on Linux
Yes, I am having the same problem with the AIX client with a 4.1.3 server. I am getting it even on short (11 character) names. It is a known internal defect that was fixed in the 5.1 clients. If the 5.1 client for linux is out you might try that. I tried the 5.1 AIX client earlier, and ran into IC33548 (Bad file name because of case mix-ups) plus was told that 5.1 clients are not supported by my server. I cannot use any earlier clients because they all exhibit APAR IC32379 (ANS1075E ran out of memory when there is really plenty of memory available). I can limp along on these older clients by backing up one filesystem/filespace at a time, but after 7 months of operation, I still do not have a proper functional AIX client.

Re: BMR TSM restore of W2K client
Our Dells have been coming in with 2 partitions, I think WinNT is installed in partition 2. TSM can't deal with the partition information; if it isn't stored in the registry or in a file, TSM doesn't see it. Which is why you must recreate any partitioning yourself, before you do the restores. One thing you can do to protect yourself: AFTER you do your restore of the files and the system object, BEFORE you reboot, just use NOTEPAD to LOOK at the C:\boot.ini file. Make sure it points to the partition where you reinstalled WINNT. I also have seen the message before about Windows File Protected files; we also ignored it (I don't understand it - TSM is supposed to be restoring the Windows File PRotected files, yes?) But it caused no problems here, either.

When the system restarts, message is win2000 root\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupt and the OS does not start as this is an essential file.The ntoskrnl is in the directory indicated. I have tried this several times with the same results. I am obviously missing something in the procedure, but do not know where this goes awry. Any help is appreciated.
Re: Activity Log not recording
I don't know, but I've seen a similar situation when auditing a volume where all the files were bad without setting quiet=yes. It got flooded and stopped recording. I halted and restarted the server. I have since started using the dsmulog utility to reduce this exposure.

Re: SHOW VERSION AND UNICODE
Jeff, Problem1: undocumented usually means not supported. Same as you cannot complain for change of undocumented API in Windows kernel by a service pack.

Re: How does Archiving and Backupsets work???
You cannot mark primary stgpool volume as offsite. As per the help/Reference Guide: 3. This value is valid only for volumes in copy storage pools. You cannot overcome the TSM design. Still can use MOVe MEDia OVFLOcation='Your off-site vault'. However think twice is this what you want good enough! You are talking about archives, i.e. long-term storage. And what if tape ages and gets unreadable or courier drop it and is broken?! That is the idea behind primary and copy pools. And you can check out primary pools from the library if are short on slots. Backupsets are again providing you same non-duplicate (not secured) scenario. Their main goal is quick restore not long-term archiving.

Scheduler on Solaris stops responding
I have had a strange problem that has been following two our our Solaris boxes. They are both running 5.8 and I had one of the boxes upgrade to TSM 4.2.2. We fire up the scheduler, and it runs normally, once, then it stops responding. Netstat shows that the scheduler is listening on 1501, but the connection from the server times out. If the scheduler is restarted, it runs, but only once. The sched log and error log don't show any errors. Anyone seen this problem? We run tons of Sun boxes the same way, with 4.1.3 TSM clients, and they don't seem to have a problem. We don't have any firewalls to/from the server. Server is AIX 4.3.3, running TSM 4.2.2. Clients are 4.1.3 and 4.2.2. Got me swinging. thanks in advance! bob

Tuning TSM
Hi: I'm managing a pretty small TSM installation with 4 RS/6K machines (2 6M1 and 2 6H1) running AIX 4.3.3 (ML9). TSM software consists of the server (running in a 6M1 - 7Gb RAM), and the clients running in the same machine and on the others. I´ve got the following situation: - the total of data backed up is about 200Gb's, - 4 servers are connected using gigabit ethernet links (and have 6Gb RAM and 7Gb RAM each model 6H1 and 6M1 respectively) - TSM uses a storage pool of 240Gb on FastT500 disks (those are connected by FC channels) - TSM uses a 3581 library (LTO) with 1 drive, The fact is (for the same set of information): When I do an archive backup operation with TSM, the time elapsed rounds 5 hours (TSM writes right to the tape). When I do an incremental backup operation, TSM uses about 6:30hs for it (TSM writes to storage pool). I'm looking for a rational approach to solve this problem: isn't it more fast writing to storage pool (disk) that to tape? Anyone had the same performance problem? Is it really a performance problem? I would like some commentaries about this, I can provide some info about the configuration of TSM and the AIX servers. Regards Ignacio
Re: Tuning TSM
Hi,
Be sure to set ALL parameters for the nic cards correctly to match the
ports on the switches.
Ensure that ALL 'no options' are set correctly for your environment.
Example:
AIX 433_ML_08:
100MB ethernet nic cards have the xmit/recieve buffer pools maxed out
100MB ethernet nic cards have the speed/duplex set to match switch ports
'no options' are set via an /etc/rc.{filename} called via
/etc/inittab via:
rctunenet:2:wait:/etc/rc.tunenet /dev/console 21 #Tune Network Parms
example:
/etc/rc.tunenet
if [ -f /usr/sbin/no ]
then
thewall=$(/usr/sbin/no -o thewall | awk '{ print $3 }')
if [ $thewall -lt 4096 ]
then
/usr/sbin/no -d thewall
else
print thewall is set to $thewall - left as is
fi
/usr/sbin/no -d thewall
/usr/sbin/no -d sb_max
/usr/sbin/no -o tcp_sendspace=$thewall
/usr/sbin/no -o tcp_recvspace=$thewall
/usr/sbin/no -o udp_sendspace=64000
/usr/sbin/no -o udp_recvspace=64000
/usr/sbin/no -o net_malloc_police=32768
/usr/sbin/no -o tcp_mssdflt=1452
/usr/sbin/no -o ipqmaxlen=150
/usr/sbin/no -o rfc1323=1
fi
print Network parameters tuned...
By allowing AIX_ML_08 to figure out the best settings for
thewall/sb_max, no -d thewall/sb_max, I do not have to go thru the issue
of calculating it anymore!!!
Having gone thru the above scenario, my 100MB ethernet cloud performs
at, a minimum, 10MB/sec. A lot of the network traffic is logged at:
11MB/sec.
We are now implementing a GIG ethernet network and I am looking forward
to working with it as well.

Re: Client scheduler
I would recommend doing basic troubleshooting.. check the TSM server activity log around the time the backup window occurred (e.g. - q act startt=01:00). What was the TSM server doing if not backing anyone up? Was it trying to contact the clients and failing to (there would be repeated contacting client blahblah msgs if it was). Is there nothing there except a client XX missed backup window at the end of the window? Ditto check the dsmsched.log on some of the clients. What were they doing around the supposed backup time? It should say clearly when they got their last schedule and what it was. Are your clients in prompted or polling mode? The reason for the missed backups could vary depending on what mode you use. If polling, what was the interval the clients poll at (default is 12 hours)? By looking at the logs you should be easily able to determine if it was a connectivity problem or if the clients simply missed their schedules due to an error in timing. You should also be able to see if the clients are receiving the schedules and what time they individually think they're supposed to being their backups. Some basic troubleshooting goes a long way..

Thanks for giving me a good insight. I'm attaching the actlog from 00:00.(I'm sorry if it's too long). We have client polling every 12 hours. It looks like the client started and couldn't connect with the server and ended inmmediately. Today I did a test on one of client node. I rebooted the client node and ran its schedule and it went OK. I suspect all other nodes need to be restarted or rebooted to able to connect to the server with new time. If that's the case, there are too many nodes that need to be rebooted.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/15/02 07:02PM I would recommend doing basic troubleshooting.. check the TSM server activity log around the time the backup window occurred (e.g. - q act startt=01:00). What was the TSM server doing if not backing anyone up? Was it trying to contact the clients and failing to (there would be repeated contacting client blahblah msgs if it was). Is there nothing there except a client XX missed backup window at the end of the window? Ditto check the dsmsched.log on some of the clients. What were they doing around the supposed backup time? It should say clearly when they got their last schedule and what it was. Are your clients in prompted or polling mode? The reason for the missed backups could vary depending on what mode you use. If polling, what was the interval the clients poll at (default is 12 hours)? By looking at the logs you should be easily able to determine if it was a connectivity problem or if the clients simply missed their schedules due to an error in timing. You should also be able to see if the clients are receiving the schedules and what time they individually think they're supposed to being their backups. Some basic troubleshooting goes a long way..

Re: Client scheduler
There isn't any reason to reboot the clients.. At worst all you need to do is stop/start the dsmc schedule process. How you go about that is dependent on the operating system. On NT/2000 it's a service you just click stop and start. On Unix you kill the dsmc sched process and restart it. Regardless it's highly unlikely that needs to be done for something like a time change. The output sent is relatively useless. It shows clients connecting to the server successfully and doing something. What are they doing? Who knows.. Maybe they're polling the server for a schedule. Maybe they're actually performing a backup. I don't know because I only see a 17 minute timeframe of your activity log. You need to look at the entire activity log for your backup window. Since I don't know how big your scheduled backup window is I don't know how much that would be either. Bottom line is it'd be inappropriate to post it on this list anyways so don't do it. In order to really know whats going on between a given client and the TSM server you also need to look at the client's dsmsched.log file. Comparing that with the same window of time on the TSM server's activity log should paint a real clear picture of what the two were doing and why the schedule was missed. Do not post any more logs here. You need to look at them yourself and troubleshoot. It's highly likely the backups will run fine tonight and it was simple a discrepancy in time as was mentioned previously. There are a number of ways this can occur but the fact that you are in polling mode with the interval set to 12 hours makes it even more likely. If this is not something you feel comfortable solving yourself then pick up the phone and call Tivoli support. That's what they're there for and they'll figure it out quicker then doing so here.

I'm attaching the actlog from 00:00.(I'm sorry if it's too long). We have client polling every 12 hours. It looks like the client started and couldn't connect with the server and ended inmmediately. Today I did a test on one of client node. I rebooted the client node and ran its schedule and it went OK. I suspect all other nodes need to be restarted or rebooted to able to connect to the server with new time. If that's the case, there are too many nodes that need to be rebooted.

dsmc sched as another user
On linux when starting the dsmc sched process you need to be root. Otherwise it says ANS1817E Schedule function can only be run by a TSM authorized user. I'm trying to write a script that gets run by a non-root user to start the scheduler. Is it possible to get around this limitation somehow? I've tried chmod 4755 on dsmc and even that won't work. Looking up ANS1817E in the messages guide doesn't yield any useful information either. Regards, Gerald Wichmann Senior Systems Development Engineer Zantaz, Inc. 925.598.3099 (w)

Re: Tuning TSM
Lindsey:
I've been walking around once and again about networking configuration,
then with disk i/o performance, then with how is configurated on disk
the storage pool (if it was in raid 5, or in raid 1 or in raid 10...).
Those servers are connected through gigabit ethernet channels, and they
are offering from 50 to 75 MBytes/sec. I believe that throughput is very
low, but Tivoli's people (here) insisted in other factors (disk i/o,
configuration of raids, etc)
I'll try your reccomendation, I have not all neccesary values from our
switches now.
Thanks

Hi,
Be sure to set ALL parameters for the nic cards correctly
to match the
ports on the switches.
Ensure that ALL 'no options' are set correctly for your
environment.
Example:
AIX 433_ML_08:
100MB ethernet nic cards have the xmit/recieve buffer pools
maxed out
100MB ethernet nic cards have the speed/duplex set to match
switch ports
'no options' are set via an /etc/rc.{filename} called via
/etc/inittab via:
rctunenet:2:wait:/etc/rc.tunenet /dev/console 21 #Tune
Network Parms
example:
/etc/rc.tunenet
if [ -f /usr/sbin/no ]
then
thewall=$(/usr/sbin/no -o thewall | awk '{ print $3 }')
if [ $thewall -lt 4096 ]
then
/usr/sbin/no -d thewall
else
print thewall is set to $thewall - left as is
fi
/usr/sbin/no -d thewall
/usr/sbin/no -d sb_max
/usr/sbin/no -o tcp_sendspace=$thewall
/usr/sbin/no -o tcp_recvspace=$thewall
/usr/sbin/no -o udp_sendspace=64000
/usr/sbin/no -o udp_recvspace=64000
/usr/sbin/no -o net_malloc_police=32768
/usr/sbin/no -o tcp_mssdflt=1452
/usr/sbin/no -o ipqmaxlen=150
/usr/sbin/no -o rfc1323=1
fi
print Network parameters tuned...
By allowing AIX_ML_08 to figure out the best settings for
thewall/sb_max, no -d thewall/sb_max, I do not have to go
thru the issue
of calculating it anymore!!!
Having gone thru the above scenario, my 100MB ethernet cloud
performs
at, a minimum, 10MB/sec. A lot of the network traffic is logged at:
11MB/sec.
We are now implementing a GIG ethernet network and I am
looking forward
to working with it as well.

Hi:
I'm managing a pretty small TSM installation with 4 RS/6K
machines (2
6M1 and 2 6H1) running AIX 4.3.3 (ML9).
TSM software consists of the server (running in a 6M1 - 7Gb
RAM), and
the clients running in the same machine and on the others.
I´ve got the following situation:
- the total of data backed up is about 200Gb's,
- 4 servers are connected using gigabit ethernet links (and
have 6Gb RAM
and 7Gb RAM each model 6H1 and 6M1 respectively)
- TSM uses a storage pool of 240Gb on FastT500 disks (those are
connected by FC channels)
- TSM uses a 3581 library (LTO) with 1 drive,
The fact is (for the same set of information):
When I do an archive backup operation with TSM, the time
elapsed rounds
5 hours (TSM writes right to the tape).
When I do an incremental backup operation, TSM uses about
6:30hs for it
(TSM writes to storage pool).
I'm looking for a rational approach to solve this
problem: isn't it
more fast writing to storage pool (disk) that to tape?
Anyone had the same performance problem?
Is it really a performance problem?
I would like some commentaries about this, I can provide
some info about
the configuration of TSM and the AIX servers.

Ignacio
