I have a doubt regarding the DRM process. Here is the query..


How to recover a offiste volume ,if the volume is physically damaged during the COURIER process to remote location.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks

2 days ago my TSM started to hang most of backup sessions. TSM 6.2.5 (upgraded in may from 6.2.2), aix 5.3, ts3310, ~200 nodes. All client backup sessions starts like they should, but after 10-25mb data send most of them hangs and it is impossible to cancel them. Hangs all linux, windows, aix os backups, exchange and part of oracle and infromix (lanfree). Sessinos shows as RUNning. All MSSql nodes backups successfully. Reclamation, move, migrate processes runs fine, expirations hangs on all domains. OS backup primary disk storage pools are empty.

How could i troubleshoot problem further?

We have a TSM Server and two NAS devices for storage in our branch offices, the TSM server in branch offices is always a virtual machine (Hyper-V). Now in case the virtual machine or the entire host ist lost, I'd like to be able to recover the site ASAP.

Now my idea is this:

- I do an Export of the virtual machine to the two NAS devices, i.e. create a copy that can later be imported again
- I do the DB Backups, Volhist, Devconfig etc. on the NAS devices (this is being done already).

Now if the host fails, I would import the (old!) state of the VM and thus the old state of TSM and simply use the current volhist, devconfig and DB Backups to update the database to the last backed up state - and would now have a working backup system with which I could restore the remaining virtual machines. The thing is that this "export" can be started on any Hyper-V capable host, so I could get the backup back online on any machine if really necessary.

Any flaws you can make out?

Environment is all AIX, TSM 6.3.2 library manager and library client. TS3500 library using standard I/O hopper (no Virtual I/O)
The library manager services about 5 library clients.

A colleague of mine emailed me this morning to ask me to look at a problem they had yesterday, and its left me baffled.

basically they do "move drmedia * wherestate=MOUNTABLE tostate=VAULT source=dbs WAIT=yes remove=bulk" and use the cmd and cmdf options.

So as expected checkouts began for all the eligble tapes

However, although the library manager checked out the tapes (eventually , there was a delay as the I/O hopper was full, which is not unusual there) , the library client never acknowledged these check outs, i.e there were no messages along the lines of

28/05/13 08:35:41 ANR6697I MOVE DRMEDIA: CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME for volume
B00923L5 in library TS3500 completed successfully.


Hence, the tapes were not sent to VAULT. Then TSM tried to use them and over a short period all of the tapes were set to unavailable as obviously the library manager couldn't mount them.

The only error on the library client was

27/05/13 10:57:46 ANR0985I Process 806 for MOVE DRMEDIA running in the
FOREGROUND completed with completion state FAILURE at
10:57:46. (SESSION: 367225, PROCESS: 806)
27/05/13 10:57:46 ANR1893E Process 806 for MOVE DRMEDIA completed with a
completion state of FAILURE. (SESSION: 367225, PROCESS:
806

The library manager shows no errors , apart from one tape it couldn't checkout because it was in use and the I/O full messages.

I've asked my colleague how often this happens as I don't think this is a one off. Today everything was fine and worked as it should.

I just wondered if anyone else has come across anything like this ??

I need to restore TSM 5.5.6.100 from Database backup on to a AIX LPAR built from mksysb.

Will I get all the configuration, like management classes/copy groups etc after I finish the restore ?

What steps I need to do before I restore I client data ?

Thanks in advance
