Hi,

can be anything - are you root (when running a dsmc)? I would upgrade to 6.4.0.6 (it fixes non-root LANFRee backup)

Hi,

this is not good


Harry

Hi,

it can be done - did it before. There used to be a Technote on the IBM web for this but I cannot find it anymore (for UNIX) - I have older version saved (v5.4) but it should work for all...

these links should help you

Hi,

can be done with the DB backup tape only (no volhist, devconfig or other files) - just install fresh TSM server, configure it (create DB/RLOG volumes big enough, extend the DB/RLOG, define...

Hi,

just 2cents :)
1) Yes, you need the filer - I do not think TSM will talk to anything else (as the datamover type is "NetappDump")
2) although NetApp simulators work for restore they are very...

Hi,

most of the info is in the redbook above - not all, but pretty much of it.
Ad 1) Does the NAS need to be SAN attached to library? NO. TSM server can be the only one who sees the library....

Hi,

TSM can parallelize commands and wait for completion of "group" of commands - what you can do is to create TSM script like this:

Hi,

looked into it again and it seems that in 4.2 the path to the library was defined ONLY for datamovers. For TSM servers the "device" parameter is part of library definition

Hi,

looking into documentation it seems that the path-to-library definition uses srct=datamover ..... never used 4.2, so just what I see in the docs ...

Hi,

NDMP can be used (with or without pre-created snapshot - like one from SnapManager applications) as well as SnapMirror-to-Tape. SnapDiff is for NAS only.
Check this document...

Hi,

what you have to do is to update the device class to be NON-shared, remove its association with the file library and delete the file-drives and file library.
Using TSM commands this can be...

Hi,

as I said before - TSM server (dsmserv) listens on port 1500 and dsmadmc connects to it. DB restore will solve this issue.

Harry

Hi,

dsmadmc is an administrative client trying to connect to the TSM server (dsmserv) - if the server does not run (it cannot find one of its database volumes), then the client cannoct connect and...

Hi,

TSM client configuration files are:
main configuration file - dsm.sys (this name is set and cannot be changed)
options file - this is (by default) dsm.opt - but it can have any name (even...

Hi,

seems I was not clear here - whenever I say "administrator" I mean TSM administrator (in this case - ADMIN)
So - you have to define the servers using SERVERNAME passwords (not the ADMIN...

Hi,

there is no problem with putting that "dsmsched.rc" file(s) into /etc/inittab


tsm::respawn:/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmsched.rc


Having the variables set in the profile makes no...

Hi,

general info:
you do not need server passwords to be the same - each server can have its own (needed for LANFree agents) - what you need is the same password for the administrator - this has...

Hi,

does the administrator ADMIN exist on both servers? Has this account the same password on both servers? Can you show us output of the following commands (from both servers)?
q server f=d

Hi,

can you show us the actlog part from the moment you are defining the servers? As far as I can remember this should work:
ServerA (6.1.x), ServerB (6.3.x)

ServerA:

Hi,

audit library can only remove tapes from the library inventory (q libvol) when they are not found. If tapes are returned in the library then "checkin libvol ....." command must be used.
...

Hi,

having two dsm.sys files is not a good idea - create just one with two stanzas in it (in one location) and use symbolic link pointing to this file in the other location. Use dsm.opt files to...

Hi,

it depends on the type of BCKPOOL - if it is NATIVE (not NETAPPDUMP) - and NetApp filers can be backed up using NDMP to NATIVE pools (in certain cases) - then you can use MOVE NODEDATA or...

Hi,

just few questions/pointers ...
What is your TSM version? Have you tried running multiple expiration processes in parallel (expire inventory resource=X)? Are the nodes equal in number of...

Hi,

this should work - did it before - what account is used for TSM scheduler? As you are "accessing the network", then using LocalSystem is not enough here.

Harry

Hi,

there is another option - you can designate old server as configuration manager (set configmanager), create configuration profile (define profile) and associate it with various objects like...

Hi,

well ... this is what CP (consistency point) is - just a special kind of snapshot (from TR3002 - http://media.netapp.com/documents/wp_3002.pdf)



but time is not the only cause of CP...

Hi,

using NDMP (which triggers its own snapshot or uses designated snapshot) or backing up at file level using snapshots - this all is the same from the open file point of view. Files in snapshots...

Hi,

so it seems (correct me if I am wrong) the customer is using NetApp as a NAS device (CIFS/NFS), where clients are accessing shares and exports - which are accessible from TSM server as well....

Hi,

it depends - what kind of files (in term of "what is the protocol used for accessing the data on NetApp? BlockLevel - iSCSI or FC or FileLevel - CIFS/NFS) are we talking about?

1) File...

Hi,

does not look like that - reason I was asking for mirrored volumes (talking about TSM mirroring) was that in that case you could use mirrored log volume for starting the server (in case...

Hi,

does not look good - seems you only had 8MB Recovery log space assigned which resulted in log full/crash/corruption. In this case TSM DB recovery is the only way.
If it was not the case -...

Hi,

seems your log is not used at all (almost). Maximum utilization 0.1% means like 13MB of space used ....
So you can reduce it very drastically and then delete the log volumes you do not want...

Hi,

not sure if your DISKPOOL is DISK based or FILE based. For CIFS share based devices use FILE. DISK is random access and requires permanent connectivity to all volumes. CIFS sessions can time...

Hi,

I have used Buffalo NAS device for TSM years back - do not think it changed that much ....
You do not need permanent drive letter - use UNC path and run TSM server under account with...

Hi,

well - it depends - we do not have enough information here.
1) you say dumps - so we are really talking about closed, not-in-use flat files, right? (so there should be no "group leaders"...

Harry

Hi,

these things (customers changing their minds) happen ...
Question one has to ask is - what is the purpose of the backup? For long retentions file level backup is much better (and uses less...

Hi,

it is rather simple - if you use:
exclude.dir /mnt/whateverX
then TSM client skips the directory (does not enter it at all) - in this case nothing is backed up below this point

If you...

Hi,

well - important thing is to find out WHICH filesystem is getting full - maybe the home (instance) directory (you ruled that out), maybe /tmp - whatever. This has to be found. If you cannot...

Hi,

quick shot - check the free space in the INSTANCE directories (/home/tsm/PROD)

Harry

Hello,
1) if you use backup via UNC paths, then there is no difference from local drives (see attached screenshot - had to "anonymize" it but important thing should be visible).
That is the good...

Hi,

things to check (NOT ordered by importance/probability)
1) are the volumes in readwrite mode?
2) is there any scratch volume available?
3) are the drives belonging to devclass LTO...

Hello,

ad 1) there is no need of accessing the share / mounting the disk. Include the UNC path into the domain, make sure include/exclude is right and let the scheduler do the work
ad 2)...
