So TSM201D was just an example, there are other servers too which shows
last data collected 2 days ago in  'sh monservers' output.

is the value in the bottom right of the grid updating the last
refreshed time?   >>> Yes, see the link

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwDDdmz6R7PtUmxqblVER3BKRmc/view?usp=sharing


Also TSM server count sometime is false, or may be due to no data
collection, see Yellow marks in the screenshots.

Many thanks

TDP4VE: How to delete old backups of excluded volumes

[Andreas Boesler]

Hello,

environment is windows with tsm 7.1.1.100

We do backups of vmware systems (IFIncremental). Now we want to exclude
some disks/volumes (D:, E:).
We also want to delete the old backups of this volumes to get free space
in the file device.
How to delete old backups of excluded vmware volumes?
Are there any tips or experience?

Thanks for your help.

Andreas

TSM 7.1.1.300 OC monitoring user

[Remco Post]

Hi All,

We’ve got TSM OC running for about 3 months now I guess and I noticed something 
strange this week. On Monday I saw that 2 servers were reported as down by the 
OC. So I checked the Hub server log and noticed a lot of ANR0454E messages: 
"reason 199 - Authentication of administrator credentials failed”. So I 
foolishly thought I’d best reset the password of the OC monitoring user and 
indeed, a few minutes later the OC showed all servers as available. Btw. the OC 
user is not managed in the configuration manager.

Today I saw that again these 2 servers were reported as unavailable in the OC… 
and again a lot of ANR0454E messages. So I checked the actlog on the hub server 
and noticed the following:

until I reset the PW on Monday these 2 and a third server were logging ANR0454E…
Then the OC service started logging ARR0418W … incorrect password messages for 
the monitoring user id
And now since yesterday evening the ANR0454E messages started again

So apparently the OC monitoring user’s password that I had recorded wasn’t 
correct. Now, the question: how do I fix this? How do I make sure that the 
monitoring user’s password gets reset on all levels and doesn’t get out of sync.

All of our servers are Windows servers and part of the same windows domain, all 
clocks are synchronized to the domain controllers.

Re: TDP4VE: How to delete old backups of excluded volumes

[David Ehresman]

On VMware backups, delete filespace will delete all of the backups for the VM, 
not just the newly excluded volumes.

Excluding the Hard Disks will make current backups for those disks inactive and 
they will age out based on your retention policy.  I do not think you can 
delete them otherwise without deleting all the backups for the VM and starting 
over.

Re: NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate

Hello, 

Anyway, the last access timestamp is generally mandatory if you're using HSM.

Re: TDP4VE: How to delete old backups of excluded volumes

[Francisco Javier]

I agree with David.

When you exclude disk from Vmware backups all the subsequent backups "will
being" incrementals-forever and you can't back to another type of backup
until delete old backups to start again =)

Re: TDP4VE: How to delete old backups of excluded volumes

[Billaudeau, Pierre]

Hi Andreas,
If your setup is like ours : One node which correspond to your Vcenter 
and 1 filespace per VM , you don't have the granularity to delete a specific 
drive within the filespace (1 per VM). You will have to wait expiration of 
older versions before you see some benefits in space usage.
