Re: move container performance

2021-05-20 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi Eric, 

I've personnally seen very decent performance from 50 to 120 MB/s for each 
container/move process. That allowed to move more than 70 TB in one single day 
(with about 20 containers moved concurrently, from 20 directories/filesystems.  
What are your numbers ?

Objet: [ADSM-L] move container performance

Hi everybody,

I need to move a lot of containers to empty a filesystem. The LUN used by this 
filesystem will be moved to a new SP server afterwards.
The issue is that the move container process is soo slooow... At the 
current rate it will take me weeks to empty one single filesystem (13.42 TB). 
Running multiple move containers in parallel doesn't seem to help, they all 
just run longer.
Has anybody struggled with this too and maybe found a solution? Thanks for any 
help!

Hi Matt,

Spectrum Protect does not support object storage object lock yet. It's on 
the roadmap.

You can look at Retention Sets "lock" to help with this requirement.

Re: In which table is stored the "at risk" status of all Nodes

2020-08-27 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi Sasa,

Thanks for your reply. 
Unfortunately, this is not what I'm looking for.

Those columns give the at risk interval configuration (see : SET 
NODEATRISKINTERVAL) for a Node that does not rely on default configuration 
(see: SET QUERY MONITORSETTINGS).

My question is how do know all Nodes that are "At Risk" when they meet an "At 
Risk" condition.


Considering there are 3 possibles values for the "At Risk" type : Default, 
Bypassed and Custom. What are the 4 possible values in SQL : O, 1, 2 and NULL ? 
Does anyone know ? It seems that's not related to the decomm state.

What you are looking for may be in the "NODES" and "FILESPACES" tables.

Found this in both tables:

Move DRM does not chekout after upgrade to v8.1.10

2020-08-25 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi all,

I've recently upgraded 3 instances from 8.1.8.200 to 8.1.10 (Linux x86). On all 
of them, I've encoutered the same issue.
Tapes are checked out with a DRM command (using the remove=untileefull option). 
This has been working fine for year, using various 6.3, 7.1 and the 8.1 server 
versions.
Starting after the upgrade to 8.1.10, the checkout command (launched by move 
drmedia) now behaves as if we were using a remove=no option : tapes stay in 
their storage slots and are not move to the bulk (as they should 


The curent workaround is to checkin (search=yes) those tapes again and then 
chekout them (remove=bulk).

Note that the issue seems to have been solved for 2 of the 3 instances by 
updating lin_tape to the latest level but the same is inefficient for one of 
the instance. No clue in actlog ou lin_tape logs...

Any idea on where to look at ?

Thanks.

Same issue in my environment: these ba clients seems too old from 5.5 to all 
6.2 clients. I found the nodes with:

select * from actlog where (msgno='428' and severity='W' and 
originator='SERVER' and DATE_TIME >=current_timestamp -24 hours)

I have tried the REG ADMIN and the use of SESSIONSEC=TRANS without resolving.
I think that the only it's to upgrade those clients.

2020-08-20 Thread Erwann SIMON
Thanks Andreas, you gave me the right clue.

Shame on me, it's in the fine manual...

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQVQ_8.1.10/srv.common/r_techchg_allowdesauth_8110.html

With IBM Spectrum® Protect Version 8.1.10, the default value of the 
ALLOWDESAUTH option is changed to NO. The default setting helps to enhance 
security by ensuring that the IBM Spectrum Protect server complies with the 
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP800-131A standard.
To allow the use of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm for 
authentication between an IBM Spectrum Protect server and a backup-archive 
client, you must specify a value of YES manually.
Restrictions The ALLOWDESAUTH option must be set to YES for the following 
operations:

Automatic deployment of backup-archive client versions earlier than V7.1.8 
or V8.1.2
Connecting a server with a backup-archive client V6.2 or earlier

Re: Error in OC for device class

Hi Eric,

When there is no Storage Pool associated with a FILE Device Class, the 
following parameters are considered to trigger a warning or error status :
- maxcapacity (device class parameter)
- mountlimit (device class parameter)
- available space (in the filesystem pointed by the directory device class 
parameter)
- DEF_FILEDEVCLASSPCTSCRUNALLOCATABLE_[W|E] (statusthresholds)

maxcapacity * mountlimit should not exceed the status thresholds.

I generally adjust the mountlimit parameter value to avoir crossing the 
threshold.

PS : I'm pretty there was a technote describing this in the past, but I've been 
unable to find it. Here's another one, describing a similar issue :

Will all this usefull "wiki" content be accessible somewhere elese when

Objet: [ADSM-L] Operations Center custom report column width

Hi guys,

I'm trying to port our reports from the good old TSM Operational Reporter to 
the SP Operations Center. I created some custom reports, but the output is 
quite ugly because of the column width. For instance, a node name with a dash 
in the name is cut off and displayed across two lines, which makes the output 
far less easy to read. Has anybody found a solution for this?
Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Re: Incorrect ANR3672E

2020-02-20 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi Ailbhe,

Deleting the corresponding alert was my first idea but I was wondering if there 
wasn't a smarter way. Thanks for the suggestion.
Since i applied the "allowfasp no" option, I didn't get ANR3672E anymore.

Considering the alert triggers management, I think it would usefull to be able 
to enable/disable an alert trigger, and not only define/delete it.

Thanks for your message. I'm very glad to help ; )

I got one other piece of information to share in relation to your query.
There is another option you can use to quieten those messages.
Might be worth keeping a note of this command for future reference.

To stop receiving the message ANR3672E, issue the following server command:

 delete alerttrigger anr3672e

Thank you again,

Hallo Erwann,

you don't miss something i was also wondering.. and I'm still very
astonished,that since the release of TSM/ISP 7.1.3 - Sept 2015 the "move
container" command has not been improved with a wildcard functionality.

Like the "select" approach you already suggested:

In my ISP Update Workshop I've included a "select"  and a "TSM/ISP script" 
exercise which helps to overcome the current "one container move" restriction.

Although you know of course how to do it by yourself, may be that helps a 
little bit and may be it is a "trigger"  for the TSM/ISP developers to improve 
the move container command.


move all container files from one directory to another.

1.) select:

select 'move container ' ,CONTAINER_NAME, ' defrag=no  
stgpooldirectory=c:\TARGET_DIR' from CONTAINERS where 
upper(STGPOOL_NAME)='YOUR_STORAGEPOOL' and 
upper(STGPOOLDIR_NAME)='C:\SOURCE_DIR'  > c:\move_container.mac



2.) TSM/ISP Script with variables - just an example...:

del script mc
def script mc desc='Create all Move container commands from one stgpooldir to
another one'
upd script mc '/* */'
upd script mc '/* Script Name: MC */'
upd script mc '/* Description: Move all Containers from one */'
upd script mc '/* Author M. Malitz January 2017*/'
upd script mc '/* add defrag=no January 2019*/'

Using multiple CopyContainer Pools

2020-02-13 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi All,

The Protect STGPool command using type=local allow to protect a Container 
Storage Pool to 2 Container-copy Storage Pools (see PROTECTLOCalstgpools 
parameter of the define/update stgpool command). I started using it with server 
8.1.4 and 8.1.5(.000|.100) then I was forced to avoid using it after an upgrade 
to 8.1.7 because after a few days protect stg type=local stops with the 
following message (the same problem still exists in 8.1.8.200.

ANR3658E PROTECT STGPOOL: Storage pool CONTAINERPOOL is currently in use by 
replication, repair, protect, encrypt, move operations or remove stgprotection.

The workaroung is simple : restarting the instance and the it works again for a 
few days (2-3).

The problem does not occur with only 1 Container-copy Storage Pool.

Does someone uses this option that allows to protect to 2 Container-copy 
Storage Pools simultaneously ?

Hello Erwann,

  it depends on what you want to archive. These options were implemented to
reduce the fragmentation of the containers, like the good old reclamation of
sequential volumes.
  Adding to this, it came to the attention of IBM that a container, which got
moved, should be subject to the reusedelay of the container storage pool. This
wasn't taken care of until 7.1.8 / 8.1.x.
  Speaking of this and putting the pieces together, you may get massive amount
of "reclamation", the cleaned up containers are subject to reusedelay and
suddenly you are in urgent need for additional and unplanned storage space.

  Speaking of such, setting DEFRAGCNTRTRIGGER and DEFRAGFSTRIFFER to 99
disables the automatic move container, then you can start lowering both
parameters down to a level which suits you best.

Wait. What??
What version of client do you need for this?  Will my storage servers
explode?  How many sessions do you need?

Hi all,

Resourceutilization can now (officially) been set with higher values thant is 
the past. Maximum value is now 100 while it was 10.

How does it now behave ? How many producers and consumers can we expect with

Hello Erwann,

  it depends on what you want to archive. These options were implemented to
reduce the fragmentation of the containers, like the good old reclamation of
sequential volumes.
  Adding to this, it came to the attention of IBM that a container, which got
moved, should be subject to the reusedelay of the container storage pool. This
wasn't taken care of until 7.1.8 / 8.1.x.
  Speaking of this and putting the pieces together, you may get massive amount
of "reclamation", the cleaned up containers are subject to reusedelay and
suddenly you are in urgent need for additional and unplanned storage space.

  Speaking of such, setting DEFRAGCNTRTRIGGER and DEFRAGFSTRIFFER to 99
disables the automatic move container, then you can start lowering both
parameters down to a level which suits you best.

2018-11-14 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi Michael and Uwe

Thanks *a lot* for your replies. This is excatly what I was looking for. 

Did you adjust those options ? How ?

I've was unable to find those server options in the Admin Reference Guide and 
not visible with a standard Q OPT or with a generic Q OPT *DEFR*. I was 
required to use Q OPT DEFRAGCNTRTRIGGER and Q OPT DEFRAGFSTRIGGER. Both options 
are set to 50% (default).


I've found some words in a 8.1.5 presentation :

8.1.5+ 

Defrag uses a new path in MOVE CONTAINER process to read in the chunks of a 
given container and rewrite them via the standard ingest path, redistributing 
them in available container space

Move Container with defrag allows the user to achieve the goals of previous 
workarounds much more easily
Container defrag can be invoked manually, with “MOVE CONTAINER  
DEFRAG=YES”

Auto-defrag engine periodically checks for container fragmentation
If containers surpass DEFRAGCNTRTRIGGER  & DEFRAGFSTRIGGER thresholds : 
Automatically runs defrags 
If % of available filesystem space or the % of container space which is 
usable/available falls below these thresholds : Auto-defrag will periodically 
start defrag processes for fragmented containers

@Uwe 
For one of the servers (the smallest one, Est. Cap of 12,5TB, Pct. Util of 
45%), upgrade has been made at the end of august. The conversion had been made 
monthes ago, when the server was still in 7.1.
For another one (the biggest, Est. Cap of 235TB, Pct. Util of 65%), upgrade has 
been made at the end of august too, then I started conversion and it has just 
finished.

Hello,

  and, to tell the rest, as both server options are not documented until now,
I quote my documentation from a PMR:

DEFRAGFSTRIGGER   0-99   dynamic server option
DEFRAGCNTRTRIGGER 0-99   dynamic server option

If

the percentage of free filesystem space is lower than (100-DEFRAGFSTRIGGER)

and

the percentage of container free space is lower than (100-DEFRAGCNTRTRIGGER),
where those percentages are calculated by 

fsfreespace / (fsfreespace + dedup/nondedup cntralloc space)

and

(cntrFree - pool unaccessible ) / ( cntrFree + dedup/nondedup cntrUsed )

If either threshold is met, then we'll look for containers with a fraglevel
higher than 80 to auto-defrag.

Move Container (Automatic) filling up the directories

2018-11-14 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi all,

I'm using Directory Container Pools on a couple of servers. Servers are at 
8.1.5.100 level.

Those servers were using legacy File Pools with deduplication enabled that have 
been converted into Directory Container Pools.

I'm seeing a lot (a lot !) of Move Container (Automatic) that fills up my 
directories (free space is occupied by Containers in Pending State). Those 
Containers in Pending State can be as many as the ones in ReadWrite State 
(reusedelay is set to 4 days). Is there a mean to have more control on this ?

Another strange observation regarding fragmentation evaluation.

13.11.2018 13:09:55 ANR4392I CONTAINER DEFRAGMENTATION started processing 
stgpool PRIM_CONTAINER. Containers are only using 98.12% of 150053.46 GB due to 
fragmentation.  (PROCESS: 14462)

and one hour later, fragmentation is higher (with no other process, such as 
Expire Inventory, that have run) :

13.11.2018 14:08:34 ANR4392I CONTAINER DEFRAGMENTATION started processing 
stgpool PRIM_CONTAINER. Containers are only using 97.00% of 149378.75 GB due to 
fragmentation.  (PROCESS: 14516)

Re: TS4300 / EMC ML3 usage with TSM 7.1.7 ?

2018-10-30 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi Luc,

According to this web page below, Dell EMC ML3 requires Spectrum Protect 8.1.2 
(and IBM Device Driver, aka Atape.driver for the library itself). It's the same 
requirement for IBM TS4300.
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ibm10716993#LTO%20Tape%20Libraries

To be honest, I've configured once a TS4300 whith TSM 7.1.7 on Windows 2012R2 
and it worked. The gap between the guy who sells and the other one who does the 
job... I don't know with AIX, but it should be the same.

Re: Why is is dedup cache file not excluded by default ?

2018-02-26 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi all,

I think we all agree that backing up this dedup cache fiche is useless and that 
it can considered as as a best pratice to exclude it since trying to back it up 
generate retries.

Stephan is right when it writes that almost nothing is excluded, except this 
.TsmCacheDir directory (and system state files excluded by VSS on Windows 
clients). It seems that it's not an habit.

Since the file has a name built frm know informations : DEDUPCACHEPATH option, 
Server Name and Node Name, I think it could be hardocded without any risk to 
exlclude any another file.

The same wil happen for every server, on any platform, for version under

Hi guys,
I just found out the hard way and I would like to share this knowledge before 
anyone else running this (unsupported) server level runs into the same issue: 
do NOT upgrade the TSM client to 7.1.8 on a 6.3 server. This client contains a 
GSKit version (8.0.50.78) which is not compatible with the 6.3 server. As soon 
as you upgrade the client, you will not be able to back up the TSM database 
(ANR4588E A database backup configuration might be incorrect) and as soon as 
you stop your server, you won't be able to start it anymore (ANR1820E The 
server could not connect to the database manager by using TCP/IP port). After 
downgrading to the GSKit that comes with the 7.1.6.x clients (8.0.50.66) 
everything is working again.
So, now it's logged on the internet. :)

Hi Steve,

I think that snapdiff is only usefull when there's a large number of files in 
the share, avoiding to have to do a full scan of the share to determine the 
candidates. 
Why are you using snapdiff in your case ? Have you tried the basic progressive

Didn't see a response to this so I'm trying one more time, cause I think 
someone out there knows the answer.

We have 6 Netapp fileshares that have a small number of large files but TB 
daily change rates.
When Snapdiff runs, we are not seeing the number of sessions we expect after 
setting resourceutilization=10.
Is this due to how TSM is receiving the changed file list from the Netapp?
Would we be better off forcing CreateNewBase=yes on every run to increase 
multi-threading?

Hi Eric,


The default certificate (indicated by a * on the left) on older version is 
MD5-signed. TLS 1.2 need a SHA-signed certificatee to be the default.
The update/upgrade process should change the default certificate but it seems 
that it does not.

Here are the commands to verify the default certificate and how to change it.

[root@centos7 config]# /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/bin/gsk8capicmd_64 -cert -list 
-db cert.kdb -stashed | tail -2
*-  "TSM Server SelfSigned Key"
-   "TSM Server SelfSigned SHA Key"

[root@centos7 config]# /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/bin/gsk8capicmd_64 -cert 
-setdefault -db cert.kdb -label "TSM Server SelfSigned SHA Key" -stashed

[root@centos7 config]# /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/bin/gsk8capicmd_64 -cert -list 
-db cert.kdb -stashed | tail -2
-   "TSM Server SelfSigned Key"
*-  "TSM Server SelfSigned SHA Key"

After server restart, the "old" MD5-signed certificate labeled "TSM Server 
SelfSigned Key" will be deleted.

PS : On Windows, path of gsk* commands is : C:\Program Files\Common 
Files\Tivoli\TSM\api64\gsk8\bin

I sometimes had to change the PATH : set PATH=C:\Program Files\Common 
Files\Tivoli\TSM\api64\gsk8\lib64:C:\Program Files\Common

Hi guys,
To answer my own question so everybody else will be able to find it though 
ADSM-L. The solution was to generate a new certificate. During server startup I 
noticed the following message:

ANR3336W Default certificate labeled TSM Server SelfSigned Key in key data base 
is down level.

The fix was to stop the server and generate a new one by issuing the following 
command in the instance directory:

gsk8capicmd_64 -cert -setdefault -db cert.kdb -stashed -label "TSM Server 
SelfSigned SHA Key"

Afterwards all clients were working again.

Re: Increase resourcetimeout TSM 6.3

2017-07-11 Thread Erwann SIMON
HI Paul,

RESOURCETimeout is not a command, it's an option you must change (or add) 
within your dsmserv.opt file. If it doesn't appear in your file, you're simply 
using the default value of 60 minutes.

This option now available to be changed dynamiccaly using the SETOPT command : 
setopt RESOURCETimeout 120. Not sure it was in 6.3, just give it a try.

Objet: [ADSM-L] Fun with lin_tape and RHEL 6 latest kernel

Just spent the better part of 4-hours trying to patch my 6-RHEL 6 servers
with issues caused by the latest kernel (we are required to patch to the
latest, every month) and the latest lin_tape driver.

RHEL 6 KERNEL=2.6.32-696.el6.x86_64  -  lin_tape 3.0.16 would not rpmbuild
successfully.  Fails with:

*make: *** [bldtmp/lin_tape-2.6.32-696.el6.x86_64.ko] Error 2*
*error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.PGuVC0 (%build)*

*RPM build errors:*
*Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.PGuVC0 (%build)*

So, went out looking and found lin_tape 3.0.18.  No mention of kernel
compatibility updates (as previous levels have said) and the 2-changes in
the readme didn't sound like anything I needed/wanted and was
engineering-speak, anyway.

While lin_tape 3.0.18 rpmbuild's clean/no errors it introduces a new
problem/error.

ANR1819E Permission denial to device /dev/IBMchanger6.

After finding docs on the permissions error that said to chmod r+aw to the
/dev entry (which got rid of the "permissions" problem - never had to do
that before), still got all kinds of errors and TSM server "internal
failures" and it telling me the library needed auditing, etc.

So we have backed off both the kernel level and lin_tape driver level!

Anyone else have these kinds of adventures with lin_tape?

Objet: [ADSM-L] Fun with lin_tape and RHEL 6 latest kernel

Just spent the better part of 4-hours trying to patch my 6-RHEL 6 servers
with issues caused by the latest kernel (we are required to patch to the
latest, every month) and the latest lin_tape driver.

RHEL 6 KERNEL=2.6.32-696.el6.x86_64  -  lin_tape 3.0.16 would not rpmbuild
successfully.  Fails with:

*make: *** [bldtmp/lin_tape-2.6.32-696.el6.x86_64.ko] Error 2*
*error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.PGuVC0 (%build)*

*RPM build errors:*
*Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.PGuVC0 (%build)*

So, went out looking and found lin_tape 3.0.18.  No mention of kernel
compatibility updates (as previous levels have said) and the 2-changes in
the readme didn't sound like anything I needed/wanted and was
engineering-speak, anyway.

While lin_tape 3.0.18 rpmbuild's clean/no errors it introduces a new
problem/error.

ANR1819E Permission denial to device /dev/IBMchanger6.

After finding docs on the permissions error that said to chmod r+aw to the
/dev entry (which got rid of the "permissions" problem - never had to do
that before), still got all kinds of errors and TSM server "internal
failures" and it telling me the library needed auditing, etc.

So we have backed off both the kernel level and lin_tape driver level!

Anyone else have these kinds of adventures with lin_tape?

I am not sure what this field is supposed to signify.

In the following extract, I did a

At the bottom of the extract, I actually calculated the value by multiplying 
capacity by pct_util, (correcting for the fact that it is a percentage).
The answer makes no bares no resemblance to the fecapacity field.
So, what does the fecapacity field signify?

Re: Move Data from STG pool directory to another one.

2017-02-07 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi Robert,

I'll do the same (with a small add) :
- add another stgpooldir pointing to the desired storage (def stgpooldir)
- mark the current stgpooldir as readonly (upd stgpooldir)
- move containers from the current stgpooldir to th new stgpooldir by directory 
(move container)

Hi to all



Thanks  to all for the feedback 



About UPDATE STGPOOL stg1 HI=1 LO=0 NEXTSTGPOOL=stg2  in the doc look at 
restrictions 3



NEXTstgpool

   Specifies the name of a random-access or primary sequential storagepool 
to which files are stored when the directory-container storage

   pool is full. This parameter is optional.



   Restrictions:

 *  To ensure that you do not create a chain of storage pools   that 
leads to an endless loop, specify at least one storage

pool in the hierarchy with no value.

 *  If you specify a sequential-access pool as the next storage pool, 
the pool must be in either NATIVE or NONBLOCK data   format.

 *  Do not specify a directory-container or cloud-container   storage 
pool.

 *  Do not use this parameter to specify a storage pool for data   
migration.



I think for now will be to add another stgpooldirectory to the original stgpool 
. To do a move container to the  new stgpooldirectory.

End to delete the stgpooldirectory empty.



Best Regards Robert

Database impact of storage pool convertion

2017-02-02 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi list,

Impact on the database size and activty is less when using directory container 
storage pools (NextGen) compared to using deduplication enabled file storage 
pools (Legacy).

My question is about database size (and activity) during and after the 
converrstion from  deduplication enabled file storage pools to directory 
container storage pools using the CONVERT STG command. 

How does the database size evolve ? Does it grow during the process and then 
reduces ? Does it remains stable ? And how about I/O activity ?

Thanks for feedback

Re: TSM Server on CentOS Linux

2017-02-01 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi,

On my homelab, I personnaly install IIM first and then put the vmargs in the 
imcl.ini file (/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl.ini).
The dash in -DBYPASS_TSM_REQ_CHECKS=true is required and the flag must be added 
on a new line after the -vmargs flag.

FYI.
If...

# install.sh -g -vmargs "-DBYPASS_TSM_REQ_CHECKS=true"

...doesn't help on CentOS 6/7 (and I think it won't for the
TSM versions after 7.1.3 or higher), here is why:


https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21990168=swgtiv=OCSSSQWC=E_sp=swgtiv-_-OCSSSQWC-_-E


My solution was to make dummy packages (for CentOS 6 and 7) with the
exact following names:

redhat-release-server-6Server-6.8.0.5.el6.x86_64.rpm

redhat-release-server-7.2-7.2.9.el7.x86_64.rpm



So after installation of the dummy rpm on CentOS 6 or 7, the TSM check
returns the correct output:


centos6# rpm -qa --queryformat '%{RELEASE}\n' redhat-release* |grep \\.
6.8.0.5.el6

or

centos67# rpm -qa --queryformat '%{RELEASE}\n' redhat-release* |grep \\.
7.2.9.el7


Here are the spec files for creating the dummy rpms.


CentOS 7 "redhat-release-server.spec"

You can put anything in /usr/local/etc/redhat-release cause it's there
just to make the rpm non-empty, and the TSM only checks if the correct
rpm is installed.

Hello Markus,

Providings checksums is a good idea. They could be published along with the 
files on FTP site and on the download page :

Dear experts,

Checksum is a great idea! I opened a RFE a couple of days ago not being
aware that IBM does deliver a checksum (just does not state which ;-()
when downloading from the Passport site via http. One more enhancement
would be to deliver the checksum via a secondary transport method e.g. via
email to make sure it has not been manipulated at the IBM site. So it´s
available, IBM just please deliver one on the ftp site as well for current
and future versions.

Thanks and kind regards,
Markus

Hi Adrew, all

How did you download the file ?

I wad used to download from 
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/ using filezilla. I 
encountered problems when the file is larger than 2 GBs (server files 
generally). I think the downloaded file is truncated at this maximum size. So I 
generally use http download for those big files.

I just downloaded the file from the service.boulder.ibm.com site (on a

to test and extract the files, and everything was clean. I also extracted
it on Linux, same as you (Zoltan) did, and it extracted clean:

Re: "Compressed data grew" retries?

2016-06-30 Thread Erwann SIMON
Tom,

In order to be able to use client side LZ4 compression, the server must be at 
least at 7.1.5 and the client at 7.1.6. Moreover, client-side compression and 
client-side deduplication must be used and the data must be backed up in a 
container storage pool.

See what the client documentation says about the compression option :

The type of compression that the client uses is determined by the combination 
of compression and client-side data deduplication that is used during backup or
archive processing. The following types of compression are used: 

LZ4 A faster and more efficient compression method that the client uses when 
client-deduplicated data is sent to an LZ4-compatible container storage
pool on the Tivoli Storage Manager server. The server must be at version 7.1.5 
or later, and must use container storage pools. Client-side LZ4
compression is used only when client-side data deduplication is enabled.

LZW A traditional type of compression that the client uses in any of the 
following situations:
v Client-deduplicated data is sent to traditional (non-container) storage pools 
on the server.
v The client data does not undergo client-side data deduplication. (Does not 
apply to Data Protection for VMware and Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V, 
in which only client-deduplicated data can be compressed.)

Subject: [ADSM-L] "Compressed data grew" retries?

I have been watching an initial TSM backup running for a long time now over
a WAN connection (100mbit/sec) and I keep seeing "compressed data grew"
followed  by a "Retry".  Does this mean that for every file that
compression increased the size (even 1%) the whole transfer is discarded
and it starts over again with the same file (presumably with compression
disabled)?  If so that is probably hurting my backup speed much more than
the compression ever improved it.  Is there any way to prevent this short
of adding one of these options for every type of compressible file?

autodeploy of 7.1.6 client updates fails

2016-06-29 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi all,

I'm trying to deploy 7.1.6 client updates on Linux and Windows boxes using the 
autodeploy packages from the FTP site. Unfortunately, without success on both 
platforms (while I succeed to deploy 7.1.4 or earlier versions on the same 
boxes).

On Windows, it fails on extracting installation image for Backup-archive client 
: only a few folders and files are extracted. Manual extraction from the same 
packages retrieved from the server works fine.


On Linux, it fails on running updatemgr : no updatemgr process is running and 
the mutex file is left behind. A successfull workaroung is to release the lock 
(./updatemgr/managemutex Release) and manualy re-run the deployclient .sh 
script (./deployclient.sh).

Re: DR test and SP 7 Operations Center

Hi Rick,

OC does not contain anything, everything is in the database of the connected 
TSM server, so you can just have a second OC that connects to your DR server 
using a properties file for this, see this technote :

Objet: [ADSM-L] DR test and SP 7 Operations Center

Didn't find any discussion or documentation on this subject so I'm hoping for 
feedback/suggestions.

Recently implemented a two-site installation of SP 7.1.5 using container 
storage pools and node replication.
Both the source and target servers are VM's running on Windows 2012.
There are roughly 950 clients, all AIX 7.1, using BA client level 7.1.3

I have an upcoming DR test and began thinking about the Operations Center???
The OC is installed on my source server and has become an integral tool for my 
operators, so if it's not available for the test certainly someone will 
complain.

The DR simulation takes place over 3 days and we will obviously be isolated 
from the production data center, including the source server and ultimately the 
Operations Center.
My question is; how can I, or is it possible, to make the OC available in the 
test environment?

I would think that IBM has thought this through but I didn't find any 
documented direction.
Thoughts?

Thanks

Thanks for your input : I had a look at the video which clarified few points, 
but not all of them ...
One question : if using deduped and compressed pool, shall the "compression" 
option on the node definition be left to default "client" value, or must I 
update it to "no" ?
I'm asking because I updated my container pools yesterday to use compression, 
and this morning compression rate on this storage pool is still zero :-(

Cheers.

Hi all,

TSM deduplication is effective combined with compression. Without compression, 
I'm not sure that it worths what it costs (1:2,5 ratio or 65% is what I 
generally see with mixed data and "standard" retention).

Objet: [ADSM-L] Real world deduplication rates with TSM 7.1 and container pools

Hi All,

We are currently testing TSM 7.1 deduplication feature, in conjunction with 
container based storage pools.
So far, my test TSM instances, installed with such a setup are reporting dedup 
percentage of 45 %, means dedup factor around 1.81, using a sample of clients 
which are representative of our production environment.
This is unfortunately pretty far from what was promised by IBM (dedup factor of 
4) ...

I'm wondering if anybody making use of container based storage pools and 
deduplication would be sharing his deduplication factor, so that I could have a 
better appreciation of real world figures.
If you would be so kind to share your information (possibly with the kind of 
backed-up data  i.e. VM, DB, NAS, Exchange, and retention values ...) I would 
be very grateful !

Thanks in advance for appreciated feedback.

Cheers.

Arnaud

Re: Real world deduplication rates with TSM 7.1 and container pools

2016-03-22 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi all,

TSM deduplication is effective combined with compression. Without compression, 
I'm not sure that it worths what it costs (1:2,5 ratio or 65% is what I 
generally see with mixed data and "standard" retention).

You all should whatch this Tricia Jiang's video on YouTube (from 7:11) :

Re: Anyone using TSM Snapdiff support (linux and windows) to backup ONTAP CDOT 8.3

2016-03-19 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hello Paul,

I've done this setup for a customer last novembre (TSM 7.1.3) for both Windows 
and Linux shares.
We had it working as expected, thanks to the skilled people of this shop.

Indeed, the TSM B/A Client documentation is (was ?) not accurate for CDOT as it 
refers mainly to 7 Mode.

Re: TSM client support

2016-03-09 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hello Chris,

5.3.6.7 is the lastest version that was supported on Windows 2000, it's 
available here :
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/client/v5r3/Windows/Win2000/v536/

As usual, it should work with current version of servers, but i't still 
unsupported of course.

I've heard that some people were unable to restore from tape data backed up by 
a 5.5 client after migrating the server to 7.1.4. If someone can say something 
on that particular problem.

Objet: [ADSM-L] TSM client support

Hi there,

We are currently running TSM server version 6.3.4.200 and the majority of
our Windows client nodes are running version 6.4. We do have a few old
Windows 2000 server nodes running version 5.2.2.0 of the B\A client. I plan
on upgrading the TSM server to version 7.1.4 in the near future, but expect
to have issues with these particular nodes running the 5.2.2.0 client. Will
a little newer client, such as 6.3 work on these Windows 2000 nodes? Does
anyone else have other suggestions for these particular nodes? (other than
upgrading the OS..)

Kind regards,

Chris

Hello,

See the SET NODEATRISKINTERVAL command in TSM 7.1 :
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.0/com.ibm.itsm.srv.ref.doc/r_cmd_nodeatriskinterval_set.html?lang=en

It should also be avaible with a right click in OC? depending on its version

I have 10 node defined in TSM server. Namely

Node1_SAP : SAP online/offline backup
Node2: File system backup

Node3: File system backup
Node3_SAP : SAP Online backup
Node4: File system backup

Node4: File system backup
Node4_ORA : Oracle DB online/offline backup
Node5: File system backup

Node6_DB2 : DB2 Online Backup

I am taking daily online full backup of Node1_SAP, Node3_SAP, Node4_ORA and

 And in every fifteen days i am taking offline file system backup using
node Node1, Node2, Node3, Node4, Node5 and Node6.

In operation center, daily server protected percentage is 40%.

Can we customize this output as per backup policy defined?

Any idea.

Re: SQL statement

Hi Eric,

You're absolutely right, the SQL resultas are just to be used for further 
analysis.
Anyway, when deleting a filespace, we must now that type is ANY by default but 
we generally have to choose a specific type between backup and archive.

Hi Erwann!
As a matter of fact this one requires a little more care. Null can be the 
result of a filespace backup which is interrupted and never restarted (i.e. 
because it has been excluded from the backup) but you will also see null when 
the filespace is only used for archiving. Creating an archive will not set the 
"Last Backup Completion Date/Time" field.
In the first case you can delete the filespace, in the second case you most 
likely don't want to...

Hi Zoltan,

I don't think that restarting the server twice after having modified the

You'll tell us.

Be prepared to have a DB backup to automatically start (to the default 
DBRECOVERY device class).

Great.  So just reduce the actlogsize value and restart the server twice.
I have a server whose DB backups constantly fail with the -2428 error since
I set actlogsize to 120GB and the filesystem only has 126GB total space.

Re: Upgrade server from 6.3 to 7.1

2016-01-27 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi all,

You must have free space in file system where the active log is located. There 
wasn't such a need with TSM 6.3.

See : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21677011

Re: Copy Mode: Absolute misunderstanding

Hi Robert,

I thought that it's a new option in the 7.x branch, not already available in 
6.x. Anyway, this absolute option does not appear in 6.4 client documentation.

Hello Robert,

If you only have client whose version is 7.1 or later, you can also use the 
absolute option :

Use the absolute option with the incremental command to force a backup of all 
files and directories that match the file specification or domain, even if the 
objects were not changed since the last incremental backup.

This option overrides the management class copy group mode parameter for backup 
copy groups; it does not affect the frequency parameter or any other backup 
copy group parameters.

Thanks Del for your answer.

It would be nice to be able to run regular query commands and not only select 
commands, like it was possible with the old Operational Reporting Tool. Also, 
it would be interesting to run a report from the Operations Center and beeing 
able to see it immediatly, without having to send it, or being able to send 
manually an inactive report, or...

Operations Center 7.1.4 : Unable to send custom report

2016-01-19 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi all,

I'm currently trying to use the new Operations Center Enhanced Reporting 
feature.

TSM Server is 7.1.4.000, OC is 7.1.4.100. Similar tests have been made on AIX, 
Linux and Windows platforms.

I've made the set up and I'm able to send default reports (DailyReportJob), but 
I'm unable to send custom reports. The is no specific message in OC or Actlog. 

But there's a clue in tsm_opscntr.log 
(/opt/tivoli/tsm/ui/Liberty/usr/servers/guiServer/logs/tsm_opscntr.log)

If you look in this page "Server documentation in PDF files":

you can find a row for "Using commands and options " for example. These

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/nl/en-us/SSGSG7_7.1.4/srv.reference/b_srv_admin_ref_linux.pdf

A great book is gone. The TSM Administrator's Guide has been obsoleted as 
of v7.1.3. Its priceless collection of how-to information has been 
scattered to the winds, which basically means it is lost. A pity, because 
this book had been a model of complete, well-organized, documentation.

The "Solution Guides" are suitable only for planning a new TSM

much too narrow, and do not cover real-world existing TSM customers.
For instance, we use a blended disk and tape solution (D2D2D2T) to create 
a good working compromise between faster restore and storage cost.

Following links to topics in the online Information Center is a haphazard 
process at best, which is never repeatable. There is no Index or Table of 
Contents for the online doc - so you cannot even see what information is 
there. Unless you actually log in, there is no way to even leave a "trail 
of breadcrumbs". Browser bookmarks are useless here, due to IBM's habit of 
changing URLs frequently. This is an extremely inefficient use of my time 
in finding out how to do something in TSM.

Search is not an acceptable replacement for good organization. Search is 
necessary, but it cannot stand alone.

Building a "collection" is not an answer to this requirement. It still 
lacks a coherent Index or Table of Contents, so once my collection gets 
sizeable, it is also unuseable. And with each successive version, I will 
be required to rebuild my collection from scratch all over again.

Re: extending tsm active logs for tsm 6.3.4

2015-12-14 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi Gary,

See Administrator's Guide (b_srv_admin_guide_linux.pdf), Chapter 21. Managing 
the database and recovery log, Increasing the size of the active log :

If the log is running out of space, the current transaction is rolled back, and 
the server issues an error message and halts. You cannot restart the server 
until the
active log size is increased. 
To increase the size of the active log while the server is halted, complete the 
following steps:
1. Issue the DSMSERV DISPLAY LOG offline utility to display the size of the 
active log.
2. Ensure that the location for the active log has enough space for the 
increased log size. If a log mirror exists, its location must also have enough 
space for the
increased log size.
3. Halt the server.
4. In the dsmserv.opt file, update the ACTIVELOGSIZE option to the new maximum 
size of the active log, in megabytes. For example, to change the active log to 
its
maximum size of 128 GB, enter the following server option:
activelogsize 131072
5. If you plan to use a new active log directory, update the directory name 
specified in the ACTIVELOGDIRECTORY server option. The new directory must be
empty and must be accessible to the user ID of the database manager.
6. Restart the server.

Log files of 512 MB are automatically defined until the size specified in the
ACTIVELOGSIZE option is reached. If a log mirror exists, log files are also 
defined
automatically.

Tsm server 6.3.4 under redhat 6.7.

If I want to increase the size of the tsm active log, must I backup, reformat 
and restore the database?

So far that's all I have found.
If not, where is the procedure for extending the log?

Thanks for the help.

A great book is gone. The TSM Administrator's Guide has been obsoleted
as of v7.1.3. Its priceless collection of how-to information has been
scattered to the winds, which basically means it is lost. A pity,
because this book had been a model of complete, well-organized,
documentation.

The "Solution Guides" are suitable only for planning a new TSM
installation, and do not address existing TSM sites. Furthermore, they
are much too narrow, and do not cover real-world existing TSM customers.

Hi to all

Today in my V7.1.3 test environment , tried to move data from old stg fashion 
(file) to  directory container storage without any success
Tried with commands:   move nodedata and move data

Here output

tsm: TSMTEST>move nodedata test from=tsmstg1 to=stg_dir
ANR3385E MOVE NODEDATA: The operation is not allowed for container storage 
pools.

tsm: TSMTEST>move data C:\MOUNTPOINTS\STORAGE_1\STG1\0267.BFS stg=stg_dir
ANR3385E MOVE DATA: The operation is not allowed for container storage pools.

I tried too , to do a nextstg
TSMTEST>upd stg tsmstg1 nextstg=stg_dir
ANR2399E UPDATE STGPOOL: Storage pool STG_DIR is not a sequential pool.

I of course define stg with stgtype=directory (stg_dir) and after it define 
stgpooldirectory

Anybody know a way to move old stg to new stg with stgtype=directory  

Regards 

Robert

I believe you can "move data" data into the container pools, you just can't get 
the data out with traditional methods at the moment but only via TSM node 
replication.
I like the new pool type but they are only suitable to a specific type of 
setup, the good news is that this setup covers a lot of the new type of TSM 
deployments we are doing!

Re: Backing up large folder

2015-10-01 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hello Michael,

Considering the number of objects backed up compared to the number of objects 
inspected, setting the resource utilization to 10 should not be helpfull. 
Becasue the comparison is always done by a single producer thread for a single 
filespace.

You'd better try Journal Based Backup wich is helpfull in determining backup 
candidates.

Virtualmountpoint can't be used on Windows, it's an option that's only

Re: Backing up large folder

2015-10-01 Thread Erwann SIMON
Aou can follow this Andy Raibeck's tip :

http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/ibm-tsm-13/virtual-mount-points-for-windows-clients-101311/

For non-Unix/Linux operating systems, there is no virtualmountpoint feature
in TSM. However, one way to accomplish what you want is to define shares
for the directories you want to back up, then add the share names to your
domain. For example:

On Windows machine "araibeck", create a share for the "andyr" and "storman"
user directories:

net share andyr=c:\users\andyr
net share storman=c:\users\storman

In dsm.opt specify:

domain \\araibeck\andyr \\araibeck\storman

If you also want to back up C:, but skip the andyr and storman directories
when processing C:, then in dsm.opt specify:

domain c: \\araibeck\andyr \\araibeck\storman

exclude c:\users\andyr
exclude c:\users\storman

Re: TSM, Linux and VMs

2015-07-01 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hello Mike,

I guess you're using the old VCB backup modes (with filelevel option).  

VCB allows image level (fullvm) for any guest operating system, but file-level 
is limited to Windows guest operating system.

See this datasheet from VMware :
http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/consolidated_backup_datasheet.pdf

So, you won't be able to perform off-host file-level backup of your Linux 
guests. 

The only available solutions are :
- installing a Linux B/A client, but i'ts an in guest istallation.
- installing TSM for VE that allows file-level recovery from an forever 
incremental block-level image backup.

VMs from a Linux proxy or data mover?

I am using TSM 7.1.1 Server, and have a mix of Windows and Linux VMs
(VMware, vSphere 5.5 environment).

I have no trouble using my Windows data mover with the BA client to
perform file-level backups of Windows VMs, but I am thus far unable to use
my Linux data mover host with BA client to perform file-level backups of
Linux VMs.

Is this not supported?  If not... what is the best way to perform off-host,

Re: Backup and restore question

2015-06-17 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hi Robert,

I think that -incremental and –deletefiles are not available (or ignored) with 
-imagetofile. It makes sense since -incremental would lead to a file restore 
whereas -imagetofile leads to a bloc restore.

You should note that –deletefiles is not availbale (or ignored) if your backup 
has been done like you do : backup image F: -mode=incremental

You cannot perform a normal incremental once you have performed a full image, 
unless you have two separate nodes, one doing image backups and one doing file 
by file backups.  You can do incremental image backups but not an file by file 
incremental.

Re: Backup and restore question

2015-06-16 Thread Erwann SIMON
Hello Robert,

The –deletefiles flag won't be an option if you don't run regular incremental 
backup which is able to mark deleted files as inactive.

The -mode=incremental flag uses incremental by date method that does not, so 
TSM DB is not aware of file deletion.

Hello Robert,

Backup image is a full image done at block level. When specifiying 
mode=incremental, il a file level incremental that is done : only files having 
a modified date later than the previous backup image are backed up.

The -deletefiles flag when restoring an image backup is only to be used when 
backup of the same volume is done twice : block level (image backup) and file 
level (regular forever incremental).

See this excellent presentation (from slide 28) :

Hi to all

Question for people using BACKUP AND RESTORE IMAGE

I have a Windows client  with millions of files and I am thinking of using 
backup image on it.

Some questions ,  after the first backup image of disk E:  (full Image) as :  
backup image E:

In the documentation I can use after it and incremental backup image as:  
backup image E:   -mode=incrementalCORRECT ?

Of course the content of disk E: will change, files will be added and deleted.

So the correct syntax for restoring the image will be:Restore image  E:   
X:   -incremental–deletefiles

Any advice will be appreciate

Best Regards
