If you do a show slots after the audit with barcode, you still get no barcodes?

At this point I would suggest to do a load/unload, read/write, inventory and library test with itdt. However, from...

Try audit library ts3100 checklabel=barcode.

What was the complete audit command you executed? What was the result? (hint: q actlog).
Can you execute an inventory request on the TS3100 WEB admin using barcode? What is the result?

Are you...

Can you provide documentation about? I am almost sure that is not true.
TSM can handle tapes with 6 or 8 character barcode (xxxxxxLx OR xxxxxx).



Did that command work in the past?
Is the...

Hi Greg,
The CAD by default listens on a random free TCP port. On the other hand the client scheduler listens by default on a fixed port.
If you don't have a different configuration from default...

Hi,
From your logs:
Checkin don't find the tape where they are supposed to be (I/O door, slot, etc.)

What is the complete checkin command you are issuing? Where are the tapes?

That is correct for a filespace (yes, it will delete the archive) but I am not sure that he is referring a filespace. (Yes, I know the short command is 'DEL FI' but still).
I thougth he meant...

No. |

Hi carigk,
Looks like there is a little confusion here. Export/import can transfer just definitions as Chad commented. But that is not metadata (of your backups & archives). You said that you need...

Hi,
Some questions to start:
How big is your database? What is the storage layout? (FC, SAS?, RAID?, # spindles, etc)
Are you doing source and/or target deduplication?
Is your database configured...

Hi Andrea,
Is the TSM service running under the system account?
Post 'q vol stg=SPD_BACK'

After your responses I will ask you to do other tests.

Hi Rob,
I think you already saw this technote: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21239156

What AIX level are your clients running? I am wondering if those are officially supported...

Hi Lotfi,
Here are the steps to return from V6.2 to V5: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/topic/com.ibm.itsm.srv.upgrd.doc/t_srv_upgrd_revert.html

Did you find out WHY the 6.2...

Hi Adam,
You have to stop TSM server (it depends on what platform you are running it) and then start it in the foregroung. You will have the server_console account privileges and you will be able to...

Sure, send me a PM to coordinate how I should charge you :redface:.

Can you assign a different temporary LUN and do a test of a full and incr backup to it and see how it goes? You will have to create a FILE devclass.
What is the value of DB2_PARALLEL_IO? (hint:...

Hi,
There is no study guide for v6.2. You can use the v6.1 one instead

But keep in mind that is a GUIDE. I mean it enumerates the main...

Allocate the whole 470GB to TSM (you said you allocated only 200GB). I think that in those 2.5TB to backup you maybe have big databases, I am correct? If yes, then send them directly to tape....

So no apparently issue, nor performance problem. At this point I would call IBM support and ask them if you really have to worry about the low hit ratio. Then, you can maybe share what they said...

Are you saying that you have 2TB available for TSM but only 200GB allocated?
Also, your weekly backups are 1.6TB?

Not accurate. Offsite database backups can be dbs or dbb. It depends on how the TSM admin is doing the backup and how it is using the move drmedia command (source parameter).

Well, looks like there is no memory problem on the system. Again, when you did the 'q db f=d', the TSM server was recently restarted?
Is your server doing deduplication?
How many GBs/TBs you...

Yes, BUFPoolsize doesn't exists in TSM 6.x.

Well, before trying to increase the buffer pool hit ratio by no matter which method, I insist let's find out is there is really a problem and what it is.

Just to confirm what you are saying: you migrated data from a deduplicated stgpool to a non-deduplicated stgpool. The non-deduplicated is reporting that contains deduplicated data. Correct?

did...

My mistake Mikey. You are right:

The Tivoli Storage Manager server obtains information about the structure of a library, such as the number of slots and drives it contains, the volume locations,...

The change (either on 5.x or 6.x) should be transparent to your library client.

Stopping and restarting the TSM server will not help. The library definition will not change (including the slots).

If your TSM is version 6.1.5+ or 6.2.2+ use audit library with the option...

Assuming that the tapes you want to re-label are emtpy, just delete them from volhistory (use volume=vol_name
force=yes, there are some posts in adsm explaining this). Then label them with...

Although it is a main performance counter on 5.x I think a value of 31.5 on 6.x requires some attention.
To refresh the concept, from TSM 6.1 Technical Guide:


Buffer Pool Hit Ratio The total...

Hi,
In general it is best to use the CAD to start the scheduler. Benefits: the scheduler will be active only during the backup saving memory, there is no need to restart the scheduler if you change...

The target and source server can communicate each other. vvmoti said on first post that the operation result was success.

vvmoti, what are the TSM servers version? Check if this applies:...

Assuming your offsite tape library is FC, no. You would need an FC link between your main TSM server and the offsite tape library. You can maybe implement FCoE for that purpose but anyway your data...

Hi,
You have to provide more information. It would be easy just to say add more memory, but it is better to understand what really is the problem. To start provide the OS, servers specs, is the...

The Technical Guide is a good preparation. I recommend it too.

The Study Guide, read it only if you are new to TSM.

My 2 cents,

Rudy

That is false. Chris is correct.

Rudy

Hi,
From a primary deduplication enabled stgpool to a primary stgpool which is not enabled for deduplication, yes.

Rudy

Hi,
To date, I never saw a fixpack of 1.8TB. I don't recommend to go directly via smit. Post the installer message and 'df -g'.

technote http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21567152

Had the same issue. Here is IBM support statement about this:

For normal backup, once the client files are same, the same data will be store on server, so we can
see high dedup ratio. But for...

Thanks,
I was told (IBM reseller) something different.
That presentation is from 2009 and the official announcement from IBM was on May 2011:...

I am wondering: is it possible to have a mix of both licensing modes?

The demarcation point would be per TSM server. Example: one TSM server and all its clients licensed by PVU. A second TSM...

Hi Terlisimo,
So you updated recently to 6.2.3?
After the backup stgpool is complete what is the output of 'q occu stgp=COPYPOOL'? Are you backing up others stgpools to this copy stgpool?

JTsobey,
You didn't mention your library type model, but if you can have 2 or more drives available (LTO4 or superior) for the backup of your biggest MSSQLs you might have dramatic improvement using...

Why you need to set schedmode in polling? It will also work in prompted mode as long as the TSM can contact the client (no firewall between or proper rules in place if firewall between).
If you...
