other node ?
hi all, i just have a short question, please tell me how do you contact more nodes from one server, i use -se=_something_ clause , is this okay ? i mean it works perfectly i just have to be cautious when adding new node into dsm.sys, i usualy put servername= _node_name_ ... well i have to admit , it stinks to me a little bit. thank for help or input. goran konjic senior unix systems admin vipnet - AIX 5.2 ml2 IBM pSeries 640 x2 TSM 5.2.2.4 x6 2109FC x4 3584LTO x2
Re: FW: ANE4987E during backup
If you are logged on, the NTUSER.DAT file will be in use. The scheduler runs under the local administrator account. That's why when you run the schedule that file is backed up and not when you're logged on with the GUI. In all WIndows versions except 2003, if a user is logged on when the full incremental backup is run, the user's profile is backed up to the ADSM.SYS directory and then sent up to the TSM server. The manuals detail on how to restore a logged on users profile, and Wanda Prather has posted the procedures several times to this list.

I posted some of it on the list back then. I recently was able to experiment on systems with beefy machines, EMC disk, LTO library, and Fibre. Despite all this hardware, and despite all efforts, I was unable to get reasonable performance with TSM backing up the file systems to LTO drives. I tried backing up over the SAN with the Managed System for SAN client (Storage Agent) and with the standard client to a local TSM server via shared memory. As the attached table shows, backup rates for lots of small files is abysmal, 3 MB/sec or less. The backup rate for larger files was better, but still far below expectations. Tivoli says that these rates are NORMAL. Our analysis of this is that the TSM client is unable to send data at a rate fast enough to keep the LTO drives streaming. This is catastrophic for the LTO. LTOs are not designed to be speedy when they have to stop, backup, and index forward, as they have to do when not streaming. To stream an LTO drive, its tape heads must be fed at 15 MB/sec. With drive compression turned on, this means that the entire system needs to pass data at up to 75 MB/sec to EACH drive. This is hard to do with most systems, getting disk systems to move data at that speed is difficult. In addition, there is per file overhead required for the file system and TSM database. It likely to be a rare circumstance that will allow LTOs to stream with drive compression turned on. The lesson is, with LTO-1 technology, the entire data path must support the streaming speed of the tape drive time the compression ratio or the drives are MUCH slower. The objects per second rate needs to be low also to prevent gaps in the streaming of data. I have found few disk systems which can keep up with a streaming LTO, and then only with large objects (few objects per second). TSM and the drive microcode have improved, but upgrading to LTO-2 is the best solution. LTO-2 drives are variable speed and will throttle down to match your data rate. Orville L.

How to figure out why Log got pinned - afterwards
Over the weekend, my Log got pinned and it filled up, severely interrupting a barbecue. (Murphy's Law in action: My pager went off WHILE the steaks were on the grill.) Now that it is all mopped up (and the easily available evidence is thereby destroyed) how can I figure out how this happened? (I know, I should have entered a SHOW LOGPIN command, but I didn't. It didn't occur to me until a search of adsm.org long afterward.) Are there any telltale signs I can search for in the Activity Log? Or in the Accounting file?

Re: Adding new DB RecLog volumes whilst TSM server is running ( on OS390)
Crude but simple way to do this. Stop the TSM server and create a copy of your .opt file .opt2 or .opt.batch and run the format job against the copied file. Just need to keep the copy option file up to date. - Brian Brian L.

3584/lto2 code
Hi All, Anyone know where IBM is stashing the latest library and drive code? I have 38D0 on my LTO2 drives, and it has a nasty bug fixed in 3AP0 where the tape runs off the take-up reel, and the fix is to replace the drive! Thanks, Steve Roder University at Buffalo ([EMAIL PROTECTED] | (716)645-3564)

Re: How to figure out why Log got pinned - afterwards
Dwight, You might want to look into some of the new additions to Define dbb, such as mininterval and minlogfreepct. They can help to alleviate problems like the one you ran into. They cause TSM to not run another incr db bkp unless a certain amount of time has elapsed and/or a certain percentage of the log will actually be freed up by running the db backup. ..Paul At 01:59 PM 4/26/2004 -0500, Dwight Cook wrote: Look for an NT box that had a session canceled due to a timeout value being reached... 04/23/2004 23:37:24 ANR0481W Session 834 for node (WinNT) terminated - client did not respond within 7800 seconds.

Hot Diggety! Stef Coene was rumored to have written: Then use the website. Why don't you visit the homepage of your library: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/lto/3584.html There is a nice Firmware link and after 2 clicks you can download any firmware you want for your library. Yes, but the firmware there is relatively outdated, too. (At least, it is for LTO-1, and presumably also true of LTO-2 judging from the comments seen earlier in this thread.) We got newer firmware by asking our main IBM CE very nicely, so he fetched it off the latest of his firmware CDs (don't recall the name, but it's available only to CEs and other IBM service personnel). -Dan
Re: AIX - backup SAP DB2

I have shell script, backupon.sh for online backup of database with this contens: #!/bin/sh su - devadm -c db2 backup db DEV online use tsm Backup works fine, when I run script on foreground. At least backup works fine when I run dsmc sched on foreground (under root user) and make schedule on TSM server to run this script. But backup don't work, when I run scheduler on background with nohup dsmc schedule 2 /dev/null as described in TSM client user's guide. Script ends with return code 127.

Re: Adding new DB RecLog volumes whilst TSM server is running ( on OS390)
All of this is true, but the dsmfmt program will work without the //OPT dddef. It is not needed to format any of the volumes, DB, recovery or disk cache volumes.
