Re: TSM Database Size Growing Since Upgrading to 5.2.4.5
My only thought is that in essence, you did a database reorg on the new instance, and left big holes in the databae on the old instance. When we split databases, we had to do a reorg on the old instance to free up the space. Meadows, Andrew wrote: I would have to agree there seems to be an issue. I just recently split my enviroment to 2 tsm servers. I have exported over 1\2 the nodes and 55 percent of the files to the new server. Before the split server a db size was 80 gb 91% full. After the split server b's db is 20 gb and like I said it has more files than server a. After deleting the nodes from server a I still have 90 % of the 80 gb database taken up and expiration does run to completion daily.

TDP oracle to new domain policy - error deleting old backups from old domain
Got a question for you all. Just move a tdp for oracle node to a different domain policy. this domain policy does not have management class of the same name that the node was using for the backup from its old domain policy. It is my understanding that once the node gets moved to a new domain, it would look for management class of the same name that it has bind its backups to and use that management class. If that management class does not exists, it would use the default management class. Is this true? Also we are having issues with deleting older DB from RMAN. what can cause these issues? Also the default management class of the new policy domain has different retention time. Would it help if I created the same management class with same backup copy group as the old one in the new policy domain? TIA, Tae Here is the env.

Oracle RMAN and TSM
Hi Everybody, I have a dedicated disk pool for one specific Oracle RMAN backup using 8 channels of a database at 300Gb. The backup takes about 2 hours, but if I clean the cache on the pool, I will see no storage space usage until the channel session has ended. So, at the end of the backup, the storage pool usage will go from 0% to about 66%. My storage pool size is 310Gb and I don't enable compression. Two questions : 1) What is TSM doing with each channel's data being sent ? Is it buffering it somehow ? 2) Because my database is abouot 300Gb, why does the storage pool show 66% usage ? Shoudldn't it be more ? Rich
Restore DB from Tape: no VolHist
Hi All, We're trying to do a database restore from one TSM server to a new TSM server (different hardware library) using our tape database backup. Currently we are running: Server 1: TSM v5.2.1.2 Win 2K IBM 3583 (ADIC 100) Server2: TSM v5.2.3.5 Win 2K3 Dell Power Vault 136T (ADIC 100) We have issued the command to set up the blank log db vol: dsmserv format 1 logfile 2048 1 dbfile 15000. After this we have double checked the dsmserv.opt and it is pointing in the correct location for the devcnfg.out. Our Library drive definitions are correct and we're getting activity on the library console when we issue other dsmserv commands. According to the documentation, we should be able to either use a Library of type Manual or SCSI. Ours is currently set to SCSI. After issuing: dsmserv restore db devclass=ltoclass1 vol=56L1 we end up with this error message: ~~~ ANR8200I TCP/IP driver ready for connection with clients on port 1500. ANR0200I Recovery log assigned capacity is 2048 megabytes. ANR0201I Database assigned capacity is 15000 megabytes. ANR4621I Database backup device class LTOCLASS1. ANR4622IVolume 1: 56L1.

ANR4578E Database backup/restore terminated - required volume was not mounted. Entering exception handler. ~~~ We have done a test where we have manually mounted the specified tape into a drive, run the command and the process then proceeds to dismount the tape then complain that it can't mount the tape. The library has been rebooted numerous times and finds the tape each time it does an inventory - so the library is aware of the tape. **THE IMPORTANT QUESTION** How can we inform dsmserv that the volume is available for mounting? Thanks Everyone! Curt ___ Curt Watts Network Analyst, Capilano College

Re: Upgrading with split installs
Andrew, If this is a typical install, there should only be 1 version of the TSM server software, so only 1 installp should be needed. I'm not sure why you would need to copy anything over. You can run 2 TSM servers off of the same binary, you just need to make sure they both point to different dsmserv.opt files. On our hosts: We have the first TSM server start with these environment settings: the DSMSERV_CONFIG path is set to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin2/dsmserv.opt the DSMSERV_DIR path is set to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin And we have the second one start with these environment settings: the DSMSERV_CONFIG path is set to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt the DSMSERV_DIR path is set to /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin As you can see, we basically create a little bin2 directory for the second TSM server where we have its dsmserv.opt, device.config, accounting log, volhist, etc) Ben -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Meadows, Andrew Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 11:56 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Upgrading with split installs I have TSM 5.1 installed on an aix 5.1 machine.

Exchange 2003 Mailbox store backup
I would like to exclude the Public Folder database within a certain Storage Group (SG) in Exchange 2003 from FULL backup, but it seems that I can only specify SG for backup and not any specific Mailbox Store (database) within an SG. The TDPEXEC (GUI) even the TDPEXCC (CLI) backup all the databases within an SG. The only exception is the Database Copy backup type, but the downside is that this type of backup does not prune the transaction logs after successful backup. Am I missing anything? Can someone help me confirm that this is true or is there another method of achieving what I want to accomplish here. Thank you very much for any help and feedback.

EXCHANGE COPY backups and MGMT classes?
Need help from an EXCHANGE GURU. I have a site that wants to send EXCHANGE TDP backups to 2 different tape pools, with different retention periods. One will be kept onsite, the other will go offsite as a long-term archive copy (this is a temp solution until some doc management software is implemented). Is that what the EXCHANGE COPY type DB is for? Is that an out of band snapshot type backup? And can I use the include/exclude statements to direct just the COPY type backups to a different management class? Thanks for any insight! Wanda
Re: Exchange 2003 Mailbox store backup
Khalid, This is not allowed because the transacation logs for an Exchange Storage Group are at the Storage Group level, not at the database level. If a backup product allowed you to do this, it would be letting you create backup that may not be recoverable in the event that you lost the disk that contained your public folder database.

Re: Oracle RMAN and TSM
Richard, Your database has an allocated disk size of 300 GB, but RMAN takes only the backup of effective data in it. That explains why the disk consumption in the disk storage pool is less than 300 GB. Check once in an OEM the usage of the tablespaces. This should match better to the size in the disk storage pool. best regards, Kurt Van: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager namens Richard Mochnaczewski Verzonden: ma 1/30/2006 19:30 Aan: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Onderwerp: [ADSM-L] Oracle RMAN and TSM Hi Everybody, I have a dedicated disk pool for one specific Oracle RMAN backup using 8 channels of a database at 300Gb. The backup takes about 2 hours, but if I clean the cache on the pool, I will see no storage space usage until the channel session has ended. So, at the end of the backup, the storage pool usage will go from 0% to about 66%. My storage pool size is 310Gb and I don't enable compression. Two questions : 1) What is TSM doing with each channel's data being sent ? Is it buffering it somehow ? 2) Because my database is abouot 300Gb, why does the storage pool show 66% usage ? Shoudldn't it be more ? Rich
Re: EXCHANGE COPY backups and MGMT classes?
Wanda, Exactly correct. This is what we use to accomplish a policy that retains daily fulls for 7 days and a monthly copy forever. Our dsm.opt file uses these includes: * * Include-Exclude list * include \...\copy exchange_db1 include \...\full exchange_db2 include \...\incr exchange_logs include \...\diff exchange_logs And of course we have different retentions on the exchange_db1 and exchange_db2 mgmtclasses. We have different scripts for daily vs monthly. Works great for us.

Re: Exchange 2003 Mailbox store backup
Thank you very much Del. I knew about the logs being associated per SG, but did not put the two facts together. I guess my only other option is to create another SG and move the Public Folder db to it and exclude it. Thanks again for your feedback, much appreciated.

dsmserv process hung.
AIX 5.3 TSM 5.3.1.2 This weekend one of my three TSM servers had the DSMSERV process hang. The machine was accessible, the DSMSERV process still existed. It was still accepting connections but not talking to them. In turn our cross server backups and volume reconciliation hung from the the other 2 TSM servers. One server ended up crashing due to a full recovery log. The other was near that same point. Looks like the root cause was a full recovery log on the hung server. I monitor to see if DSMSERV exists, I monitor for backup and archive failures. I use operational reporting to give me additional information for clients. I even monitor to make sure the client scheduler is running and communicating. Does anybody have a method in place or an idea to monitor if the TSM server is actually capable of communication ?

Why is Q FILESPACE so slow?
The TSM QUERY FILESPACE command, with a wildcard for nodename, takes FOREVER. On our system, a big TSM server with about 1000 nodes, a Q FILESPACE * * can take 20 minutes to an hour, depending on how busy the server is doing other things. I finally got tired of this sluggishness, and put together a simple SQL SELECT that asked the same question, just to see what would happen. It was fast. What is going on here? Why should the performance difference be about two orders of magnitude? (100x) (As I recode a bunch of scripts I have to change Q FILESPACE into SELECT.)

Duane - One cause of a problem of this type is a thread failure; some key thread fails, while the rest of the process lives on, but rather crippled. There should in any case be evidence in your Activity Log, typically an ANR message. Where a thread failure has occurred, there will likely be a dsmserv.err file in the server directory giving details. Does anybody have a method in place or an idea to monitor if the TSM server is actually capable of communication ? The most standardized method is to test the responsiveness of the TSM server's Web admin port (usually, 1580). Various HTTP-based packages can be used to do this. Here is a fragment from execution of an HTTP prober which I wrote, to illustrate: http_check: Connected to HTTP server. Now sending data... http_check: Request 'GET / HTTP/1.1^M^JHost: ourhost.bu.edu^M^J^M^J' has been sent to HTTP server '.222.333.444'. Now awaiting reply... http_check: Response took 0.009691 seconds to arrive. http_check: Received 2907 bytes of data from HTTP server: 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: ADSM_HTTP/0.1 Content-type: text/html HEAD TITLE Server Administration /TITLE ... Or you could run a TSM consolemode perl command, for example, to follow the Activity Log and call out any irregularities. Richard Sims

Re: Oracle RMAN and TSM
I have a dedicated disk pool for one specific Oracle RMAN backup using 8 channels of a database at 300Gb. The backup takes about 2 hours, but if I clean the cache on the pool, I will see no storage space usage until the channel session has ended. So, at the end of the backup, the storage pool usage will go from 0% to about 66%. My storage pool size is 310Gb and I don't enable compression. Two questions : 1) What is TSM doing with each channel's data being sent ? Is it buffering it somehow ? Most of the TSM queries relating to storage use are blind to files in transit. For example, when an offsite tape reclamation at our site copies an 8 gigabyte file, we see no change in the percentage utilization of the output tape until the entire file is moved, at which point the utilization suddenly goes up by about 40%. I suspect that you are seeing a similar phenomenon.
