Today we wanted to restore a file from one of our client nodes called Server01 however when we opened up the “Backup-Archive GUI” application on Server01 and navigated to our folder destination to recover the file we do not see any sub folders under the Backup-Archive GUI application for our destination folder.

Client Node Server01 – Folder location E:\Data

Backup-Archive GUI (Version 5.3) – Viewing option “Display active /inactive files” enabled does not show any folders/files backed up.

I also took a look at our client node via the Tivoli Storage Manager – Web interface and its specifies the backup location as \\Server01\e$ or the E: drive which should include all folders including subfolder to be backed up; however the Data folder is not being backup, but the other folders on the E drive are being backup which is weird.

I’m not sure if this is a permissions issue or if we may need to reinstall the “Backup-Archive GUI” application on our Server01 server.

I am trying to find out what domains (management classes) are associated with files from the server side. I am exporting and importing files from server to server. I want to see if the files get the correct MC as I am concerned they may get STANDARD.

Also, is it possible to update a domain (MC) from the SQL side of things on the server?

Were in the process of setting up a new TS3500 library, and we're going with the Shared Library option using one TSM server as the library manager, and the other TSM servers as library clients.

It occurred too me that the lan-free clients will also need access to the ts3500 drives. Will a shared library option on a TSM Library CLIENT pass-though a mount request from a storage agent? The storage agents will not be able to communicate with the Library master. The networks don't talk.

i.e The storage Agent requests a mount to TSM server, which in turn requests the library manager to mount a volume. Since the path of the storage agent is defined at the TSM server level, will this work or will it need direct access to the Library manager?

Also, is there a way to limit specific drives to storage agents ONLY, meaning NOT be used by the TSM servers at all within the same library and device class. Would setting up a path for the storage agent, and not the TSM server, suffice? ]]> TSM Server timgren http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?22012-LanFree-drive-provisioning http://adsm.org/forum/showthread.php?22011-How-do-I-know-how-many-copy-pools-I-have&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:29:50 GMT Hi: At one point we had two copy pools in place, the last TSM admin was suppose to remove one of them due to the fact we were just going thru... Hi:

At one point we had two copy pools in place, the last TSM admin was suppose to remove one of them due to the fact we were just going thru tapes too fast and so that was the end result.
Now I'm not sure is it was done or not.

Am I right to assume "DISK" is a primary pool and "TAPE" is the copy pool.
And PC1 is primary and TP1 is a copy pool.

Is there any other commands to show a better relation, just learning...thanks!!

I have the 6.2 client which has the capability of running a Live .vhd backup of of a virtual machine in Hyper-V. One of my VM's runs SQL. I don't believe SQL services need to be stopped before taking the backup because the TSM client is running on the Virtual Host server and not the VM itself. TSM Hyper V backup uses VSS, so, the server can be up and running taking a live backup withouht shutting down the VM. Our Sql Dba disagrees and doesn't understand how this can be accomplished without stopping SQL services. Is there any documentation pertaining to this?

The Notes admin changed to archive logging and I'm backing this up every 2 hours.
However the log files total around 350Gb/day. Notes generate 5x65MB logs every minute.
Is this normal?

Few questions on these as I'm trying to fully understand these processes in TSM.

1. Is it possible to know on how many tapes will be reclaimed?

2. On the output below how will I know on how much data is the tape reclaiming or transferring to the other tape?

Current input volume: P40287. Current output

3. On migration, how will I know on how much data it needs to migrate from the storage pool to tape?

4. I have VTL which is my storage pool then ot gets migrated to tapes, how will I know if all the data has been migrated to tapes? or how much data has been migrated? What if there are still data in my VTL and migration has been cutoff because of the next backup schedule, does the data in my VTL will be continue to be migrated the next migration schedule?

5. Is there a log that I can see on how long my space reclamation and migration takes place?

Sorry for so many questions, I don't have anyone to ask and I'm still learning :( and trying my best...

Thanks a lot for your responses on my questions... Cheers all!

I am setting up DEDUP for my TSM 6.2 installation. I've created my primary disk pools to handle the daily backups which are then migrated to a sequential disk pool of type "file". Now my understanding is that a dedup or reclaim process will not happen until i've issued a backup stgpool of that dedup pool onto another storage pool...

Is that correct? if that is the case, when i issue the backup stgpool on the dedup pool, it will copy all non-dedup data to the copy pool. then the dedup process and reclaim will be able to run properly?

If that is the case, then that COPY Pool will get HUGE depending on the retention...So why dedup at all then? In my mind, i am using dedup to save space. What i'm i not understanding correctly?

I am trying/testing TSM upgrade. I have a new server installed (w2k8 x64 R2) and it is connected to a VTL emulating a 3584 with 3592J1A drives.

Initially, i had serious problems getting TSM to be able to create paths to the drives, even though the OS could see them.
I tore down the configuration and started from scratch. I have installed the IBM 6.2.0.9 Windows 3592 Tape Driver and Media changer drivers, which i installed using the NON-EXCLUSIVE (can someone tell me what the diff is between exclusive and non-exclusive?)
I then installed TSM 5.5 with the Device Driver, then upgraded to 5.5.4.3(installed the TSM device driver in the setup)

I then was able to create drives as 3592 drives and paths inside TSM (using mtx.x.x.x devices), after creating the paths, it showed the drives as read/write formats as 3592,3592C, which is correct, when i launch the TSM management console, under Device Driver, it shows the TSM Device type as 3592.
Everything worked perfectly.

I then went through the TSM 6.2. upgrade, installed 6.2 base, licenses and selected device driver, but choose not to install it, only the tools. went through after that and installed 6.2.1.1, same as 6.2.
Upgrade was successful, i was able to launch TSM, audit the library, see the drives etc. the only oddity was the scratch tape labels could not be read. i ended up just checkin them out, deleting them from the VTL, and creating new tapes, labeling and checkin them in and they were readable.
I was able to do backups, restores, create new drives and paths.. no problems. Drives inside TSM shows the same, read/write formats as 3592,3592C

Now, when i launch the TSM management console, click on TSM Device Driver, Device Information, i see the tapes, the device name as \\.\TapeX, the TSM Name as mt.x.x.x.x (which is what i used to create the paths), the problem is the TSM Device Type is showing as GENERICTAPE instead of 3592 (which it showed in the 5.5.4.3 on the same system)

I do not know what this means, or if it is going to cause me any issues further down the line when i go to upgrade the Production TSM servers...

Any help would be appreciated, i am at my wits end here, i have a PMR opened with IBM, but i am reaching out to as many people as i can to find out what is happening...

We were discussing possible security issues, and then we thought about the TSM feature which allows a schedule to execute a command on a client node. This seems like a very big security risk. In the case that the TSM server got hacked, the attacker could create a schedule to run any command he likes on any node system he likes, right? Is there some way to limit the allowed commands on the client side? We only use commands for TDP schedules, so it could be blocked totally in most cases.
