Re: LAN-free requirements
Hi, This is how storage agent 6.1 works which might be one of the differences of this version: the storage agent can support several clients while installed on only one of the clients. You can also install the storage agent on a client system that does not share storage resources with the Tivoli Storage Managerserver, but that is connected to a client system that does share storage resources Reference: Storage Manager for SAN for AIX version 6.1(Storage Agent User’s Guide) http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6/topic/com.ibm.itsm.sta.doc/b_stg_agent_guide_aix.pdf Regards, Mehdi Salehi
Re: LAN-free requirements
Hello No, it's not different in 6.1, earlier versions work the same. What you need to remember though is that you normally install a LAN-Free agent to get the data OFF the ethernet network. If you're backing up a host with a storage agent on another host the data goes over ethernet to get to it.

Re: LAN-free requirements
Good point, thanks. I conclude that for a multi-platform environment, TSM for SAN is required for all systems that need LAN-free data movement. Another vague issue for me is the shared resource. Evidently, tape libraries could be shared SAN resources. How about disk-based ones? What I have found is that disk-based resources could be shared using some products such as GPFS (for AIX and linux), Tivoli SANergy or IBM Totalstorage SAN Filsysetem. How TSM server defines storage pools on a shared disk or filesystem? Thanks.

Hi, I try configure HSM and SANergy on linux. And i couldn't install SANergy MDC on CentOS. First i tried install all on CentOS 4 (2.6.9-78). In IBM documentation i found than MDC works with linux kernel 2.6 only if filesystem EXT3 type. But HSM needs gpfs filesystem =(. So I decided install another linux system CentOS 3 (it has kernel version 2.4.21-50.EL) and there install MDC. But installation writes that : The SANergy MDC will not be installed.

Re: SANergy MDC on Linux (CentOS)
Hi, I read about gpfs possibilities and would be happy use only it :) But it's more complex. I need make three-level storage system (fc disks-fata disks-tape).

Re: SANergy MDC on Linux (CentOS)
You are aware that with TSM version 6.1 Lan-free is also formally supported on GPFS? There was no code-change, just a formal support statement, so you can get this to work with 5.5 as well As for HSM, I'd think that either requiests are so small that you don't mind using TCP/IP or so large that you don't mind writing directly to tape.

Re: SANergy MDC on Linux (CentOS)
Yes i found that tsm lan-free 5.5 woks with gpfs. But in real model gpfs wouldn't be used, that's why i looking for another ways. Well, files not so small for transfering over TCP/IP, but consumer needs fast access for recently migrated data. So he determined such conditions and set task and I solve it. Though decision of this problem interesting per se. I've tested that SANergy works with TSM BA Client well (who would doubt :) ), but my chief dosen't sure that HSM will works also fine.

Re: big striped TSM volume performance
We use 3 RAID-5 groups with 24 random disk volumes each and they are faster than the Ethernet (2x1gb) during the backups and are fast enough during migration to meet our needs. Since we are not migrating to physical tape I have not tracked the performance, only if it was done in time. You can have multiple clients backup to a random disk volume. At our peak backup time we have over 100 clients running.

Can you export a nodes data out of TSM completely?
I've got a node within TSM that we want to be able to export out of TSM completely. Can you extract all the data (active and inactive versions) for a node and cut it to CD, or other media and have it be readable outside of TSM? The customer wants to be able to keep the data for a period of time, and wants to be able to access it outside the TSM environment. Is this possible, if so what would our options be? Thanks for your help. Eric
SV: Can you export a nodes data out of TSM completely?
Hi Eric, What you can do is create a File Device Class and run export node with filedata=all to that Device Class. Now can you burn out the Device Class Files. I have a Customer Doc that I did write for CBMR how to export BMR data to Cristie Software Support. Now can you archive that CDs and import it to any TSM Server in the future. I can send that document to you outside from adsm.org. Just drop me an email.

Re: Can you export a nodes data out of TSM completely?
An EXPORT is only suitable for importing to another TSM server. Look at BACKUPSETs; a backupset, if written to CD/DVD, can be read by the TSM client, without a TSM server.

Hi Eric, That is correct. With Backupset can you only collect data from a point in time and the active data from that time. Export/import can you collect ALL data.

Re: SV: Can you export a nodes data out of TSM completely?
But, as Wander points out, with any EXPORT NODE operation you'll need as a minimum a TSM Server, a TSM Client and an IMPORT NODE operation to read any of that node's data back again. For me, that doesn't qualify as 'have it be readable outside of TSM' as stated in Eric's original requirement. However, I can't think of another mechanism that meets the active plus inactive out of TSM requirement here. Looks like there might have to be a compromise somewhere: either active only with a backupset, or all versions but with some preparation/TSM software in the event of a recovery being required. Any other ideas anyone? /David Mc London -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Christian Svensson Sent: 19 May 2009 20:10 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] SV: Can you export a nodes data out of TSM completely?

TSM 5.[345] in OES/NSS cluster environment
OES2 (SLES 10) with Novell cluster services with NSS volumes. Anyone has experience backing up such setup with TSM? -- Warm regards, Michael Green
TSM Win32 6.1 GUI opens blank window
Well - I installed the TSM 6.1 client for Windows32 on my test machine, which is WinXP SP3 with a test TSM 5.5 server on it. Uninstalled the 5.5.2 client, ran setup.exe for TSM 6.1. dsmc.exe works as expected dsmmfc.exe works as expected web client works, from a browser started on the same machine But the Java GUI dsm.exe opens an empty window with the title IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, and nothing else. So I assume it's a Java issue - but I can run the web client, from a browser started on the same machine, and get the java icon in the system tray, so some Java is working on this machine. No error messages. No messages of any kind. The TSM support page doesn't list the java requirements for the client, nor is there any info in the WIndows client manual for 6.1 or the client README about Java requirements. Suggestions? Wanda (who has never understood why anyone thinks Java is a good thing, there's always issues)
Re: TSM Win32 6.1 GUI opens blank window
Hi, Wanda - Technote 1320792 recommends Java 1.5. Assure a writable dsmerror.log (test by throwing a bogus option into dsm.opt, and performa client action). Beyond that, maybe try a client trace. Richard Sims (another person who has found Java to be further computerdom idolatry)
NDMP expiration weirdness
I have notice that whenever I run expiration on a server with NDMP backups on it, that the NDMP data does not get deleted the first pass thru. If I start expiration again immediately after the first expiration finish, it will expire my NDMP backups. Any one else experiencing the same weirdness or is it just me?
TSM Server 5.5, AIX and xlC version

Re: TSM Win32 6.1 GUI opens blank window
Hi Richard, Thanks much. I saw that client limitations technote that recommended upgrading to Java 1.5, but that was to resolve a problem with the web client, and my web client is working fine. It's the GUI client (which hath become Java in 6.1) that is broken. I'm even more confused now - I dug around, and in the program files/baclient directory, there is now an IBM JRE50 directory for Java 2, Version 5, and add/remove programs agrees that has been installed, so the GUI should have whatever it needs for its Java runtime environment - I think it installed the JRE as part of the client install. Frankly, I was expecting Java problems with this new client. I even brought it up in one of the Business Partner calls - but I was really really hoping I was wrong Thanks Wanda On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 9:18 PM, Richard Sims r...@bu.edu wrote: Hi, Wanda - Technote 1320792 recommends Java 1.5.
