Re: Problem in Archive...
The description of the ANS1008E message in the Messages manual, of via 'dsmc help' explains the problem. You're missing an Archive type copy group in your management class. Go to http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg244877.html and download that redbook to read and gain an understanding of the Copy Group in the product. It's important to master the basic concepts before trying to implement Archive and Backup operations. Richard Sims
reading tape wirthout tsm
Hello, Can I read TSN backup/archive client tape without tsm database. I need delete archive files that maybe on the tape, and I do not have Database . Is it any utility?

You might be able to physically read data from TSM tapes, depending upon tape vs. drive compatibilities, compression, and encryption; but you'd be hard-pressed to identify the right tape to read, or position to the right spot. Tapes are not like disks: you don't delete files from within them. TSM expires data by eliminating its knowledge of file locations on tapes, but the data stays on the tapes until the tapes are re-used. If you need to wipe data from a tape, your choices are to write over the tape or physically destroy the tape. Richard Sims

cannot run command
Hello all, My TSM server version is Storage Management Server for AIX-RS/6000 - Version 5, Release 3, Level 5.0 on AIX. The issue i am facing is that when i try to give command like q path or q mount the command hangs as shown below * tsm: TSMLMq mount * and does not give any o/p but when i give command like q session, it works but again i am unable to cancel any session.Does anybody has any idea why is it happening?I think restaring the server might solve the problem but at present i am not in favour of it. -- Best Regards Ashish Sharma ST Microelectronics Ltd. 919717003853
Re: cannot run command
As root - run lsdev -Cc tape and see if your drives and medium changer are showing up as available - if shows up as defined then you might have a device problem.

Re: cannot run command
No, we're not sugarcoating anything. The Library itself has a web interface, that displays pretty much everything and anything you need to know about it. It will display drive error numbers, mounts, cleaning tape usage, etc. It may be you have tape drives that are needing to be cleaned, and are waiting on a cleaning tape to be mounted. Sometimes there are tapes that are sitting in the drives for one reason or another where they shouldn't be, or a picker might have a tape stuck in it, or a I/O door may have been left open. So, the best route is to go to the web interface and check for errors, look at the drives' status, the io status, etc. See Ya' Howard -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Kamran Rao Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 11:10 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] cannot run command I find this strange that you don't have any processes running at this time where you have 3 TSM instances.

I ran into this problem recently. In a nutshell, you can't install both the required gskta and tivoli.tsm.client filesets in one pass. (Chicken and egg dependency problem?) The workaround I found was to make two passes through smitty installp. The first time select and install the gskta filesets. The second time through, select and install the client filesets. I've installed this client level on AIX on three or four different machines, and each time the workaround was required, and each time it was succcessful.

Re: cannot run command
Hello, Ashish.
I've seen this before in library manager environments. Usually I
recommend people bring down all their TSM servers, then on each TSM
server's host, delete their device files (rmt* and smc*), run cfgmgr to
redetect, restart TSM, and update their paths. It's the surest fix.
If you want to spend the time to troubleshoot and find out what broke,
try this, then send us the output of the lsdev command again. This will
set each device to defined and then back to available. If they stay
defined, then those device files have a problem. This shouldn't affect
devices already in use - it should just say device busy or something
like that. Note: You will probably have to do this on all your TSM
servers' hosts.

Re: reading tape wirthout tsm
Hi, Hana. Yes, you can read the tape. However, recovering files from the data you read will be so difficult that recovery is infeasible. You will have to mount the tape, then use some kind of utility to read the tape to a big file. In UNIX, we would use dd. I have no idea what similar utilities exist for Windows. Here is an excerpt from a document I had to write up for management once upon a time. Once the tape has been read to file, the file will then have to be processed to extract individual files. There is no utility that does this -- it will be a manual process. If text files are targeted, this could be fairly simple. Non-text files, for example, .docs, .xls, .pdf, .jpg, etc, will be significantly more difficult. Someone would have to manually identify file begin and end points. If done incorrectly, the file will not be read correctly by MSWord, Adobe, etc. If an individual file spans file aggregates, then they will have to be manually appended - again, correctly. A disk recovery utility may help as they do similar reconstruction from disk blocks, but a low success rate would be expected. If client compression or encryption are enabled, it will be nearly impossible to figure out how to decompress/decrypt the files. A data recovery service may be able to extract more data, but such services are expensive. Cost benefit analysis weighing the recovery cost, file type, and likelihood of failure against the value of the data will determine the feasibility of a recovery attempt. For a fun example of this process, put a .jpg, .doc, and .pdf file into a directory. From the command prompt, type each file and append it to a test file like so: c:\test type file.jpg testfile c:\test type file.doc testfile c:\test type file.pdf testfile Then use a hex editor to open testfile and see how much fun it is to try to separate them. And that's with the advantage of knowing what's there. It gets much harder with fragmented file aggregates. The only reason TSM can read the tape is because the database knows where all the file segments start and stop. So, yes, while it is possible to read the data from tape, it will be prohibitively expensive/difficult to recover the data in a usable format. I hope this answers your question.

You might be able to physically read data from TSM tapes, depending upon tape vs. drive compatibilities, compression, and encryption; but you'd be hard-pressed to identify the right tape to read, or position to the right spot. Tapes are not like disks: you don't delete files from within them. TSM expires data by eliminating its knowledge of file locations on tapes, but the data stays on the tapes until the tapes are re-used. If you need to wipe data from a tape, your choices are to write over the tape or physically destroy the tape.

subfile size limit
Hello, I remember long time ago file size limit for subfile backup was 2GB file size. I'm wondering if this limit has been removed. I searched TSM support size, but couldn't find anything. Regards, Joe Crnjanski Infinity Network Solutions Inc. Web:www.infinitynetwork.com
Re: cannot run command
Hi Asish,
One other issue I have seen is where the drive on the control path gets a
tape stuck in it. TSM (or the driver) continually retries on the drive,
and until each retry attempt times out the control path is unresponsive to
commands, The indicator here is repeated entries in the AIX error log.

Hello, Ashish.
I've seen this before in library manager environments. Usually I
recommend people bring down all their TSM servers, then on each TSM
server's host, delete their device files (rmt* and smc*), run cfgmgr to
redetect, restart TSM, and update their paths. It's the surest fix.
If you want to spend the time to troubleshoot and find out what broke,
try this, then send us the output of the lsdev command again. This will
set each device to defined and then back to available. If they stay
defined, then those device files have a problem. This shouldn't affect
devices already in use - it should just say device busy or something
like that. Note: You will probably have to do this on all your TSM
servers' hosts.

Version Interoperability...
Hi all, Is there a rule of thumb for version interoperability ? I'm prepping to upgrade my three TSM servers to 5.5.1.1 from 5.4.3.0 I'm going through and upgrading my clients to 5.5.*.* and found some W2K boxes running 5.2.2 and some AIX 5.2 boxes running 5.2.2 . Neither of those are listed as being supported by the client TSM version of 5.5. Any suggestions for interoperability before I start researching the last TSM version that supported W2K and AIX 5.2.2? Thanks, Duane

After the files were extracted onto the client I tried a preview install, strange though when I did the preview install the gsksa.rte and gskta.rte files didn't show up in the list to be installed. However when I exited the install and tried again the following showed up to be installed. gsksa.rte 7.0.4.11C FAIX Certificate and SSL Base Runtime ACME Toolkit gskta.rte 7.0.4.11C FAIX Certificate and SSL Base Runtime ACME Toolkit I tried a preview install first and it was successful and I did a install and it was successful.

Re: cannot run command
Ashish: Your situation is somewhat familiar to me. I've had the server process become selectively and increasingly unresponsive, to the point where sometimes the only way to get it down is with a kill -TERM. It most often happens when I do storage-related queries while waiting for a tape operation, or database-heavy operations while running a nasty select, or especially, when I've got a tape that's being checked in or out with no checkin or checkout running. Since the server is responsing to you still in some degree, if you can get a brief window for a halt/start, you'll be able to clear it up quickly. When it's like that, commonly the listener on 1500 stays open long after the dsmserv process is gone, so wait for that to go away. tcon...@lusgr0099v2zlv /home/tconwayssh tsmserv netstat -an|grep 1500.*LIST Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. tcp4 0 0 *.1500 *.* LISTEN tcon...@lusgr0099v2zlv /home/tconway If you try to start the server process before that port is available, the start will fail.

Re: cannot run command
Hello Guys, I will try the things today in ofice and will let you know the status asap.For sure, i am confident that rebooting and restarting the tsm server will solve the issue but at this point of time i am not in favour of this.

I've had the server process become selectively and increasingly unresponsive, to the point where sometimes the only way to get it down is with a kill -TERM. It most often happens when I do storage-related queries while waiting for a tape operation, or database-heavy operations while running a nasty select, or especially, when I've got a tape that's being checked in or out with no checkin or checkout running. Since the server is responsing to you still in some degree, if you can get a brief window for a halt/start, you'll be able to clear it up quickly.

I'm prepping to upgrade my three TSM servers to 5.5.1.1 from 5.4.3.0 I'm going through and upgrading my clients to 5.5.*.* and found some W2K boxes running 5.2.2 and some AIX 5.2 boxes running 5.2.2 . Neither of those are listed as being supported by the client TSM version of 5.5. Any suggestions for interoperability before I start researching the last TSM version that supported W2K and AIX 5.2.2? Thanks, Duane If you're only using the baclient (normal tsm backup client) there is practically no limit on version intermixing. I've hade customers running 3.x clients against 5.4 servers so 5.x against a 5.5 shouldnt be be a problem but YMMV. On Windows you _might_ get problems with systemstate on wildly different TSM versions but running TSM 5.3 client on Win2k (last supported version) works without a hitch against 5.5 server, even so for the 5.2/5.3 baclient on AIX. My rule of thumb is, try it, it will most probably work!
