average backup time statistics script for a particular node or all nodes

$

Hi to all,

I have been trying to figure out a script which will display the average backup time for a node and/or for all nodes
on a tsm v6.x server for a given number of days so that I can see if the backups for a particular node is taking longer.

I plan to use the output overtime to see where a client node may be getting so long that it's interfering with the users
window etc.

I have looked through the scripts in this forum and found some great scripts but not with some type of averaging
available?

Is there any free 3rd party reporting apps that would do the job?

Best Regards,
Bob...

Excluding hall.dll from restore

Selective backups and monthly / yearly retention

Guys

I am trying to understand how i can reach monthly retention and yearly retention requirements with selective backups ? I mean what i need to set for verexists, verdeleted etc for monthly and yearly retention requirements if we are taking selective backups of a file system.

I am being pushed to select selective backups instead of archives by knowing the fact that gpfs backups based on mmbackup always use selective backups instead of archives and my filesystem which is to be back up is a GPFS filesystem

Please advice !!!

Very Slow STGPOOL BACKUP

$
0
0
Hello everyone,

I have a a problem backing up a primary stgpool (PRPOOL) to a copy pool (CPPOOL).
In fact the process fails due to the high number of unavailable tapes that are required for the backup. (I am forced to check out tapes to make room since the library became full)

TSM backs up less than 10% of the PRPOOL's data in about 6 hours before failing everyday.

I will get the library's slots full Cod soon, so I will have room to check in the unavailable tapes required, but the problem I will face is that the stgpool backup will take days to complete, and will monopolise the library's resources

Any suggestion or work around to deal with this situation will be appreciated. thank you guys

How many disk storage pools?

$
0
0
We are migrating our 6.3 TSM server to 7.1 on new hardware. Its a new installation. We previously had DISK_STGP -> ONSITE_STGP -> OFFSITE_STGP.
The consultant doing the work for us has set up MANY disk STGP's for every technology and every TDP. IE. ORACLE_WINDOWS, ORACLE_LINUX, SAP_WINDOWS, SAP_LINUX, EXCHANGE, SQL, and then a tape storage copy pool for each one too. I don't see any advantage with this. (Q STGP look sooo busy!!!) Our previous 3 stgp config worked well for years.
Anyone have some useful idea why he is doing this? Too me its just complicating things
Many thanks!!!

Three way backup with TSM and NetApp

$

Hello,
I am new to the forum, but I have use it in the past as a guest!

I am writing due to I would like some help from the community. I want to implement a three-way backup for a NetApp filer with TSM server. Unfortunately, I spend three days searching on the net, with no results.
It is possible to make NDMP backup for the whole cluster, if the backup application is CAB aware (Cluster Aware Backup). Unfortunately TSM v6.1 we use is not (and I couldn't find any support for it on TSM v7). So the other option is to use the "Three way backup model".

We have a NetApp filer configured in cluster mode. (FILER1). The cluster has inside 2 nodes (FILER1-01 and FILER1-02). On the FILER1-01 is attached with Fiber connection a Tape library (SPECTRA t50e) with a tape drive (IBM LTO).
We want to implement NDMP backups from FILER-02 to FILER-01 (ie, the FILER-02 to user the library and tape drive).

I succesfully defined library/drive/datamover/paths for the node that the tape is connected (FILER1-01), and also took a NDMP backup.
From the other node, it is not possible to "see" the library /tape devices that they are connected to first node.

The problem is how to connect the other node in order to use the tape drive that is connected to other node, in order to take backups. May anyone has an idea how to do it?

thank you in advance!

Database performance question

$
0
0
So, we all know how one should use separate disk for the database and storage pools, but what about the HBA ports. Logic seems to dictate (at least, MY logic) that one should not mix oltp and streaming data on the same fibre channels, but I can't find anywhere that actually states that. If I have 8 processes trying to steam data down a pipe, and each transaction must wait for a database update that has to go down the same set of pipes, won't they be stepping on each other's toes?

If I'm wrong, please let me know the fault in my logic. If I'm right, can someone point me to some reliable documentation so I an show the architects?

Thanks!

Hello,

We are using TSM 6.3.4 on Windows server. I have two question.

+ I changed retention policy for example i changed Versions Data Exists parameter 3 to 2 etc. But there isn't any capacitance change. I guess my old data stamp to old retention policy. How can i trigger manually ?

+ I want to delete inactive backup data for some nodes is it possible inTSM 6.3?

IBM 3494 with 3590 drives + TSM EE 6.3.4

$

Hi All,
I'm trying to move an old library manager v5.5 instance, sharing a 3494 library loaded with 3592 and 3590-E1A drives, to a new TSM 6.3.4 instance.
I'm testing library and drives with mtlib on the new installation, but I can't query any of the 3590 drives. 3590 drives are shared via FC, in a SAN environment.

# mtlib -l ibm3494a -q D -f /dev/IBMtape0
mtlib: Unable to open device special file /dev/IBMtape0 (errno = 22): Invalid argument

Everything is fine with 3952:

# mtlib -l ibm3494a -q D -f /dev/IBMtape4
Device Data:
mounted volser.............none.
device category............0142
device state...............Device installed in Library.
Device available to Library.
ACL is installed.
Auto Fill is enabled.
device class...............3592-J1A
extended device status.....00


This problem is getting me stuck. In fact, it is impossible to define drives in TSM, cause when i fire "def path" commands, TSM will complain about I/O errors coming from driver subsystem.
Please help me in identify the problem, I already double checked SAN

These are software involved:
TIVsm-server-6.3.4-300.x86_64
lin_tape-2.7.0-1.x86_64
lin_taped-2.7.0-1.x86_64
ibmatl-6.8.3.0-0.x86_64

EDIT: Lin_tape configuration seems ok. IBM 3590 drives are seen inside /proc/scsi/IBMtape file, and devices are created on linux (masked serial).

Hyper-V Thru TSM

I'm looking for some guidance on ensuring I'm covering all my bases regarding to backing up Windows Hyper-V guests on TSM.

I have the TSM client installed on the Hyper-V guest and that is running daily backups. I also run a scheduled snapshot of the Hyper-V host every other week.

I am wondering if this is the best way to cover the environment or am I missing something. We are expanding our Hyper-V environment and I want to nail down this process before the environment gets two large to make changes to.

Hi!
I´m trying to get tsm client to work with Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit.

I have downloaded Tsm client 6.2.5.0 (last 32-bit version??) version and convertet rpm to deb, and installed it without a problem.....But when I try to start dsmcad or dsmc...nothing happens.
In dsmerror log I see : ANS0361I Diag, Main thread, fatal error, signal 11.

I got this to work on a Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit...
Any ideas??.

Cleaning Tape is not moving to the DCS on IBM TS3200

$

Hello ADSM community,

I have the following issue, Cleaning Tape is not moving to the DCS on IBM TS3200. I want to check in a cleaning tape on the Dedicated Cleaning Slot (DCS). Within the Web UI. Monitor Library --> inventory window i can see it (Inventory.jpg) but when i go to Manage Library --> Move Media cannot see it (Move_Media1.jpg and Move_Media2.jpg).

Checking the following document: IBM System Storage TS3100 Tape Library and TS3200 Tape Library. Setup, Operator, and Service Guide. Machine Type 3573

Found the following, which is also something i'm seeing on the Web UI (General.jpg)

Code:

Note: Enabling Auto Clean without first reserving a slot for the cleaning
cartridge will result in the library System Status screen (web UI)
reporting the following attention conditions:
v Media Attention
v Chk Media/Rsvd Slot

1.- How i can get this error when the inventory show a DCS?

Auto Clean is enabled in Configure Library --> General (General.jpg)

After reading a lot on this forum, the recommended way is that the library should take care of the cleaning and not TSM, but i cannot manage to move the cleaning tape to the DCS.

Also tried to check in the tape with TSM wit the following command

Code:

checkin libvolume LIB_1 CLNU11L1 status=cleaner cleanings=10 checklabel=no
which worked, here the log extract.

Code:

ANR2017I Administrator SCRIPT issued command: CHECKIN LIBVOLUME LIB_1 CLNU11L1 status=cleaner cleanings=10 checklabel=noANR0984I Process 383 for CHECKIN LIBVOLUME started in the BACKGROUND at 14:10:48.
ANR8422I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Operation for library LIB_1 started as process 383.
ANR8323I 044: Insert LTO volume CLNU11L1 R/W into entry/exit port of library LIB_1 within 60 minute(s); issue 'REPLY' along wit
ANR2017I Administrator SCRIPT issued command: QUERY REQUEST
ANR8352I Requests outstanding:
ANR8323I 044: Insert LTO volume CLNU11L1 R/W into entry/exit port of library LIB_1 within 60 minute(s); issue 'REPLY' along wit

ANR8499I Command accepted.
ANR2017I Administrator SCRIPT issued command: QUERY PROCESS
ANR8427I CHECKIN LIBVOLUME for volume CLNU11L1 in library LIB_1 completed successfully.

After that, i performed a library inventory but the tape stayed at a normal slot and wasn't move to the DCS.

2.- How can i manage to successfully check in the tape for auto-cleaning by the library or TSM?

Any other info required please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge.
