My TSM cheat sheet

To create an NT scheduler service, from the command line:

dsmcutil install sched /name:tsm_scheduler /node:<nodename>

/password:<nodename> /autostart:yes

Changing start time for a schedule:

update schedule standard daily_files startt=13:15

Adding nodes to a schedule

define association standard daily_files <node(s)>

Removing nodes from a schedule

delete association standard daily_files <node(s)>

List the contents of the storage pool(s) I;e. who is using up how much..
q filespace <nodename>

Modify storage pool migration percentage

update stgpool <stgpool name> hi=<percentage>

Audit the library after opening main door.

audit library checklabel=barcode

Modifying DB2 TDP stuff (this example was for specifying a mgmtclass)

db2 update db cfg for dwbprod using adsm mgmtclass dbclass

resetting another admins password

update admin <id> <password>

Reverting private volumes with no data (i.e. orphaned tapes) to Scratch

volumes.

checkout libv lib01 <vol> checklabel=no remove=bulk

label libv <library_name> checkin=scratch search=bulk

labelsource=barcode overwrite=yes

#### MAKE SURE TO REPLY TO REQUEST NUMBER FROM ABOVE!!!

Displaying a list of all the tapes containing data for a particular

node:

show volumeusage <nodename>

Proper way to TSM server:

(MUST BE ROOT)

cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin
nohup ./dsmserv quiet > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Restarting the TSM-synch for DR/BCP on the original (Tower2) server: (As
ROOT)

nohup /home/drtsmusr/scripts/[Link] > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Restoring files to a different system.

Just start the TSM client on the target machine with the
virtualnodename parm.

dsm -virtualnodename=name_of_source_node

On windows, use dsm -nodename=ABCDEF

Defining a non-admin schedule

command objects=<path and
command>
def sched standard <schedulename> action=
startt=<starttime>
incremental

note: double-quotes must be surrounded by single-quotes in order to take

effect.

Defining an administrative schedule

def sched <schedname> type=admin cmd=<commands here (i.e. upd stg

<stgpool> reclaim=##>) active=yes descr=<description here> start=<time
to run/start>

Displaying the log utilization

select pct_utilized from log

Checking disk pool utilization

q vol devclass=disk

changing log mode from/to normal/rollforward

set logm [ r | n ]

Last three lines in /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/[Link] can be

uncommented to bring up TSM with no processing.

What to do if server pukes due to filled logs

Create a new log file (need to have space in the filesystem)

dsmfmt m log /tmp/tsmtmplog 100

Allow the TSM server to use it

dsmserv extend log /tsmtmplog

Fire up the server (in the forground)

/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv

Open a new window and log into the server

Make sure we have scratch tapes available

q libv

Kick off a database backup

backup database dev=ltoclass type=full

After the backup, make sure that there is enough free logspace to delete
the temporary log

q log

Set log mode to normal

set logmode normal

Reduce the log size

reduce log 100

Delete TSMs reference to the log

delete logvolume /tmp/tsmtmplog

Set the logmode back to roll forward

set logmode rollforward

Then delete the file from the operating system

rm /tmp/tsmtmplog

Last ditch effort to free up tapes. (when data are still resident but
unable to relocate it due to solar-flares) -- This will result in an
exposure. The risks of said exposure are determined by the pool to
which the disk is assigned. (i.e. a tapepool disk whose data are not
currently on mag-cache may will require an offsite tape retrieval for
any restores requested from it.)

DEL VOL <volname> DISCARDDATA=yes

If tape is local, it will revert to status of scratch. If offsite, it

will revert to empty. And will be returned on next cycle through.

show me the clients and what version of TSM they are running?

Creating a new DB space and extedning the TSM DB. Make sure to
determine the next available filename to be used (i.e. db#.dsm in the
/tsm/db directory) you may need to extend the filesystem. I prefer to
extend by 1 GB increments. Also any changes made to the primary (at
WBMI) TSM server also need to be reflected at the DR (NSI) site.

Create it
tsm: SERVER1>def dbvol /tsm/db/[Link] formatsize=1000 wait=yes

if the server is down you can create it manually -again, make sure that
there is sufficient space in the file system to do so.

dsmfmt m -db /tsm/db/[Link] 1000

output from the command:

ANR0984I Process 263 for DEFINE DBVOLUME started in the FOREGROUND at

[Link].
ANR2240I Database volume /tsm/db/[Link] defined.
ANR0986I Process 263 for DEFINE DBVOLUME running in the FOREGROUND
processed 1
items for a total of 1,049,624,576 bytes with a completion state of
SUCCESS at

Make sure the space is now available to the DB (see maximum extension
column)

Extend it
tsm: SERVER1>extend db 1000

if the server is down the command-line extend command is:

dsmserv extend db /tsm/db/db8/dsm 1000

output from the command:

creating db, log, or data volumes:

dsmfmt m [db|data|log] <path/file> <size>

dsmfmt m db /tsm/tsmdb/[Link] 1000

dsmfmt m data /tsm/tsmdata/[Link] 5000

Recovering from a completely FUBARed system:

Copy (move) out the existing [Link] file from the server/bin
directory

mv /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/[Link]
/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/[Link]

Create a log file and db file using dsmfmt:

dsmfmt m log /tsm/tsmlog/[Link] 128

dsmfmt m db /tsm/tsmdb/[Link] 1000

Run the format command for these volumes

dsmserv format 1 /tsm/tsmlog/[Link] 1 /tsm/tsmdb/[Link]

Now you should be able to start the server and define additional
volumes:

dsmserv

def logvol /tsm/tsmlog/[Link]

def dbvol /tsm/tsmdb/[Link]

You may need to create the default admin account:

NT clusters password problem fix obtained from [Link]...

have had this problem a couple of times and the instructions are sketchy
as to how to update the passwords in the registry. Client seems to get
in a twist about the passwords replicated between the nodes somehow.
Remove the cluster resource for the service from Cluster Admin then
execute the following command on each server to update the registry
passwords.

dsmcutil update scheduler /name:"<service name>" /clientdir:"<client

install dir" /optfile:"<optfilelocation>" /node:<nodename>
/password:pass /validate:yes /clusternode:yes /clustername:<clustername>
/force:yes

Probably worth logging on manually to TSM from each node then setting up
the clustered resource again.

Script to manually run the checkout process.

/usr/local/bin/BerbeeTSM/scripts/NMLadmin_cho.sh

Making policy changes:

You must make the changes to the STANDARD policy_set. Then perform a
validation of it, and finally activate it.

upd copygroup ntdev standard ntdev verexists=4

validate policyset ntdev standard

activate policyset ntdev standard

Cleaning up after volumes get a weird name because of a mis-read of the

barcode:

If you are unable to use the mangled volume-name (i.e. TSM says that it
is named 1#$ACB and q vol 1#$ACB comes back saying unknown volume) the
following wont work and you will need to work some magic in some other
manner.

Delete the volume:

del vol <vol> disacarddata=yes

Perform a resynch of the storage pool it belonged to: (i.e. if it

belonged to NTPRODCOPYPOOL)
You MUST use the TSM Storage Pools document to determine the hierarchy
of the storage pools to determine what pools to synch.

ba stg ntprodpoool ntprodcopypool

ba stg ntprodtape ntprodcopypool

YOU MUST SEND THE NEWLY-CREATED TAPE and THE WEIRD-NAMED ONE OFFSITE SO
THAT THE TSM DATABASE MATCHES!!!!

If the tape is a member of a copypool you need to manually move it thru

the DRM cycle and also manually recall it under the REAL name of the
volume.

move drm <vol> tost=vault

move drm <vol> tost=courierret
move drm <vol> to st=onsiteret

Change the maximum file size for a devclass (specifically DBB backup
volume size)

Common Tasks

To view a list of active processes

q proc

To view a list of sessions (sessions are client-based activities as

opposed too processes which are server jobs)
q sess

To cancel either a session or a process

canc [proc|sess] <sessio# or proc #>
canc proc 123
canc sess 456

To view the contents of the library (physical library)

q libv lib01

To audit the library (tape by tape inventory (each tape gets mounted and
the internal label read ) use this when the library becomes confused
about its contents) This process needs exclusive control of the library
to run if other jobs are running when you enter the command, it wont
execute until the prior processes complete and once it starts, no other
processes are allowed to start until it completes.
audit libr lib01

To view a list of mounted (loaded in drives) tapes

q mount

To view a list a tape drives (shows their status)

q drive [lib01|lib02]

To change the status of a drive (usually used if a drive is listed as

offline) you could use online=no to temporarily prevent TSM from using
a drive. You need to know what library the drive is a member of.
upd drive [lib01|lib02] drive# online=yes

To view information about a specific tape. Add f=d (format=detail) for

verbose output to the end of any of the following commands. --- Actually
f=d can be added to many of the q commands to provide more detail.
q vol <volumelabel>
q libv <voljumelabel>
q drm <volumelabel>
To search the server activity log (the following example looks for
references to WBMPXDB02A over the past two hours)
q actlog begint=now-2:00 search=wbmpxdb02a

To view a list of client schedules (backup jobs)

q sched

For detailed information about a client schedule the domain and

schedule names can be found in the output of the q sched command.
q sched <domain> <schedulename> f=d

To view a list of server schedules (administrative tasks for offsiting

tapes, reclaiming space etc.)
q sched type=admin

For detailed information about server schedules

q sched <schedulename> type=admin f=d

To view a list of tapes currently in the library that will/should be

going offsite
q drm wherest=mountable

To manually checkout a single tape that needs to go offsite (after

issuing the command below, you must wait to reply to a request) Once the
tape has been physically moved the server will issue a req that can be
seen by entering q req. After the request is displayed get the number
associated with it and issue a reply rep <req#>.
move drm <volumename> fromst=mountable tost=notmountable

You can also perform a mass checkout using an asterisk instead of the
volume name.

NOTE if you checkout DRM tapes later than 14:00, you must also then
move their status to vault. There is an automated job that runs at
14:00 that normally does this. If you dont the volume will be left if
an access state of UNAVAILABLE

move drm <volumename> fromst=notmount tost=vault.

Collocated tape report shows list of volumes needed for restore of each
collocated server as well as volume capacity. Usefull for cleaning up
(reclaiming) additional offsite tapes,.

TOWER2:~drtsmusr/tmp/[Link] [-nm]

Nm will add ** to volume names of all vols still in the library.

When restoring a TSM server from a backup (i.e. mksysb) client sessions
may fail with ANS1355E Session Reject Server Disabled This is due to the
(apparent) time change to the server. From a dsmadmc session enter the
following:

accept date
enable sessions
Change the mount retention period of the tape drives
Upd devclass LTOCLASS (or whatever mountr=num

Creating a new stgpool to be used by existing (well new ones too I

guess) members of a domain. Basically I want to redirect all new
incoming data to CDL volumes rather than physical tape volumes. Not
sure if this is the proper/best way to do this but it did what I wanted
in prototype.

Define the new stgpool:

def stg exchangecdlpool ltoclasscdl maxscratch=40

Define the policy set

def pol exchange <dom> exchangecdlps <new ps>

Define the new management class

def mgmt exchange <dom> exchangecdlps <polset> exchangecdlmc <mgmtcl>

Define the copygroup

def copy exchange <dom> exchangecdlps <polset> exchangecdlmc <mgmtcl>
dest=exchangecdlpool

Assign the default management class for the policy set

ass defmgmt exchange <dom> exchangecdlps <polset> exchangecdlmc <mgmtcl>

Validate the policy set

val pol exchange <dom> exchangecdlps <pol set>

Activate the policy set

activate pol exchange <dom> exchangecdlps <polset>

Now for every client that is registered to that domain, you must add the
new management class to the config file for them to use it. include *
exchangecdlmc.

Increasing log space:

The implementation is quite simple it requires four steps:

1. create the additonal log volumes - which are simply sparse flat files
2. tell TSM about the new log volumes
3. tell TSM how much of the new space it can use
4. create identical volumes on the DR server.

for NUM in 21 22 23 24; do

dsmfmt -m -log /tsm/tsmlog/log${NUM}.dsm 128
dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=$TSMPWD "def logv /tsm/tsmlog/log${NU
M}.dsm"
done

dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=$TSMPWD "extend log 512"

perform the same "for" loop on the DR server.

RMU stuff

DR LTO RMU IP is [Link]/16

User= admin
Passwd= secure

Anytime that work is done on the library (drive replacement, firmware

upgrade, etc.) make note of all tape drive addresses prior to doing
anything!!!

lsdev Cc tape

Once the work is complete, you need to see if they are still the same.
Compare the previous output to that of the SCSI IDs/LUNs on the front
panel of the library. If any have changed, you MUST SET THEM BACK TO
WHERE THEY WERE!
*******DO NOT RUN CFGMGR!!!**************

Test each drive to be sure that it is at the proper address by

INDIVIDUALLY deleting and recreating them:

rmdev l rmt#
mkdev l rmt#

do not use a dl as this will totally delete the definition.

By Viktor I do offline the drive and the path first before rmdev.

UPDATE PATH SERVER1 DRIVE3 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE

LIBRARY=LIB01 DEVICE=/dev/rmt3 ONLINE=NO

If you must change the drives ID from the front panel of the library, be
patient. It takes a little while for the drive(s) to reinitialize after
the change. I saw drives display a !C during the reinit. That is okay.

If any of the drives where changed and/or the library was power-cycled
while TSM was running, you will need to stop and restart TSM for it to
pickup the new drive info. (i.e. new drive was added to library since
last time TSM came up. TSM said that the element number was invalid
recycle TSM).

Viktor August 12th, 2008 after having issues with couple of drives and
doing all the steps above still not mounting on that drive. Found
article referring to checking the path.
Do q path here the status must be online as well. Syntax is funny here,
so did it via GUI and works fine.
Example of command:
UPDATE PATH SERVER1 DRIVE4 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE
LIBRARY=LIB01 DEVICE=/dev/rmt4 ONLINE=YES

Thanks to Sven Neirynck of Compu-mark for that tip
TSM has a MAXSCRATCH parameter which is set independently for each
storage pool. This defines the maximum number of tapes that each tape
pool can contain. The following query will display how close each pool
is to its limit.
SELECT STGPOOLS.STGPOOL_NAME, [Link], -
Count([Link]) as "Allocated_SCRATCH", -
[Link]-count([Link]) as "Remaining_SCRATCH" -
FROM STGPOOLS,VOLUMES -
WHERE (VOLUMES.STGPOOL_NAME = STGPOOLS.STGPOOL_NAME) -
AND (([Link]="3590_CLASS")) -

How can I find out what TSM thinks is in a slot in a library:
select *
from libvolumes
where home_element=### (### = slot number)
back to top
________________________________________
How many tapes are used by each node?
As originally requested by Jose Barzaga then improved by Brian Bisson,
the following query will list the number of tapes used by each node, by
storage pool. The query is a bit resource intensive.
select count(DISTINCT volume_name) as volumes, node_name, stgpool_name
from volumeusage
group by node_name, stgpool_name
order by volumes desc
If a tape is shared by more than one node, either because you do not run
collocation, or because you ran out of tapes and TSM switched to partial
colocation, then the query will count tapes more than once.

________________________________________
How many active files are there?
How can I find out the number of active files and the size of these
files on a certain node?
select node_name, sum(logical_mb)
as Data_In_MB, sum(num_files) as Num_of_files
from occupancy
group by node_name
order by node_name

________________________________________
What's happened in the last hour?
How can i code a select statement, which gives me all nodename related
events from the actlog in the last hour?
select servername,nodename,date_time

How do I get the prior day events
select *
from events

________________________________________
What was the times and data transferred for yesterday?
This select query will get the amount of data backed up in the previous
24 hours, along with the start and end times of the backups.
SELECT entity AS "Node name",
CAST(sum(bytes/1024/1024) AS decimal(8,2)) AS "MB xfer",
SUBSTR (CAST(min (start_time) AS char(29)),1,10) AS "start date",

SUBSTR (CAST(max (end_time) AS char(29)),12,8) AS "end time"
FROM summary
WHERE activity='BACKUP' AND start_time>=current_timestamp - 24 hours
GROUP BY entity

________________________________________
How much data is stored for each filespace?
This easiest way to get this information is to use the 'query occupancy'
command, which will return output like
Node Name Type Filespace FSID Storage Number of Physical
Logical
Name Pool Name Files Space
Space
Occupied
Occupied
(MB)
(MB)
---------- ---- ---------- ----- ---------- --------- ---------

or you could try an SQL query like

SELECT node_name,filespace_name,
physical_mb,stgpool_name
FROM occupancy
and optionally
WHERE node_name='nodename'
AND type='Bkup'

The output looks like

NODE_NAME FILESPACE_NAME PHYSICAL_MB STGPOOL_NAME

________________________________________
How much data is stored for each node by copy type?
This query assumes that you have three types of storage pools, one
called with 'TAPEPOOL' which is used for standard backups, one called
'ARCHPOOL' which is used for Archives and one called 'TDPPOOL' which is
used for SQL TDP backups. This query will summarise the amount of backup
space used by each node in each pool. This is not the same as the query
above, which reports on space usage by filespace.
select node_name as NODENAME, -
sum(case when substr(stgpool_name,1,3) in ('ARC') -
then logical_mb else 0 end) as ARC_OCC, -
sum(case when substr(stgpool_name,1,3) in ('TAP') -
then logical_mb else 0 end) as BCK_OCC, -
sum(case when substr(stgpool_name,1,3) in ('TDP') -
then logical_mb else 0 end) as TDP_OCC -
from occupancy group by node_name
The output looks like
NODENAME: SRVGLUAY
ARC_OCC: 339.28
BCK_OCC: 5523.63
TDP_OCC: 1988.79

Total data stored and tapes used per node in all storage pools
This select will show NODE_NAME, TOTAL_MB that is amount of data stored
in TSM for this node, TAPES that is the amount of tapes that contain
data of this node (of any storage pool), and AVG MB/tape that is the
average of MB by tape (TOTAL_MB divided by number of tapes with node
data). It's sorted by worst data distribution. This query will pickup
data stored on any storage pool, including data on a disk pool pending
migration. That can skew the results.

TSM Cheat Sheet for West Bend Mutual

These command are commonly used commands for TSM. Refer to the
[Link] file or the TSM Publications CD for flags and optional
settings.

dsmadmc
Opens an administrative command-line interface to the TSM server. This
allows for queries and commands to be run against the server. Two
commonly used flags for this command are:

dsmadmc -console (opens a live console session with the server)

dsmadmc -mountmode (opens a live console session that shows only tape
mounts)

dsmadmc's directory is not usually pathed for users, so you will have to
either change directory to \program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient, or
explicitly use the directory path as part of the command.
--
[from a Web browser] [Link]
opens a GUI-based administrative interface to the TSM server.
--
dsmc
Opens a backup/archive command-line client for TSM. This can be run on
any machine that has the TSM client loaded and configured properly.
--
dsm
Opens a backup/archive GUI client for TSM. This can be run on any
machine that has the TSM client loaded and configured properly. This
interface allows for easy backup of individual files, and is the easiest
way to selectively restore lost or corrupt files.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Once a dsmadmc session is running, the following commands are commonly
used by TSM administrators. (Note that the capitalized letters show the
minimum number of letters necessary to run the command.)
--
Query STGpool
queries for the state of TSM storage pools. Information includes storage
pool name, percentage of pool currently used, high- and low-migration
marks, and migration pools.
--
Query DB
quries the state of TSM's database. Information includes total size of
database, percentage of database utilized, and maximum percentage used
over last 24 hours.
--
Query LOG
queries the state of TSM's recovery log. Information includes total size
of log, percentage of log currently utilized, and maximum percentage
used over the last 24 hours.
--
Query ACTlog
queries TSM's activity log. Without parameters, query covers the
previous two hours. This allows the administrator to browse the log of
activity for the server.
--
Query SEssions
queries for client sessions currently running. Information includes the
nodename of the client, amount of data sent, amount of data received,
node's OS platform, and time elapsed since client session started.
--
Query PROcesses
queries for currently running background processes, such as expiration,
db backup, migration, and storage pool backups.
--
Query MOUNTS
queries the mounts currently open on TSM-recognized tape drives
--
Query DRIVES
queries the status of TSM-recognized tape drives
--
Query SCHEDules
queries the configurations of regular client backup/restore sessions
--
Query SCHEDules type=admin
queries the configurations of regularly-scheduled administrative tasks
--
LABel LIBVolume
labels tape volumes and checks them into the library. An example is:

label libv <library_name> checkin=scratch search=bulk

labelsource=barcode overwrite=yes

See the TSM Administrator's Reference for additional information.

--
CHECKIn LIBVolume
checks tape volumes already labelled by TSM into the library. An example
would be:

checkin libv <library_name> status=private search=bulk

checklabel=barcode

You can also use this command to check in a new cleaning cartridge. For
this, the command is

checkin libv <library_name> status=cleaner search=bulk cleanings=<number

of cleanings allowed for the cartridge>

See the TSM Administrator's Reference for additional information.

--
CHECKOut VOLume
checks out tape volumes from the library. An example is:

checkout libv <library_name> <volume_name> remove=bulk

--
Query DRMedia
queries which tape volumes are either TSM database backups or members of
a copy group. This is the first step in checking out disaster recovery
tapes for offsite storage.

Disaster recovery procedures are fairly complex and beyond the scope of
this cheat sheet. Refer to the TSM Administrator's Guide, starting on
page 783 and continuing.

--
Query EVENTs
queries the success of scheduled backups with a 24-hour timeslice from
midnight to midnight. An example is:

query event * *

This will show the status of all scheduled client backups. To see the
previous day, an example would be:

query event * * begindate=-1

--
Query EVENTs type=admin
queries the success of schedule administrative tasks within a 24-hour
timeslice. An example would be
query event type=admin begindate=-1

This shows the success of all scheduled administrative events in the 24

hours from midnight to midnight yesterday.

New TSM storage pools/management classes to separate NT servers (DEV,

QA, TEST nodes are in NTDEV, Production nodes is in NTPROD).
Note: Only NT nodes in NTPROD are considered DR recoverable
currently, and therefore only the tapepool NTPRODPOOL and NTPRODTAPE are
copied offsite daily. The Standard management class that was always out
there is also copied offsite, but only AIX nodes are in that management
class currently. All NT (except TDP for Exchange nodename
WBMPMSG01_EXCH)nodes backup to disk pools first, then migrate to
tapepools, as is shown in the following q stg command.

One neat SQL command I like to use is this one it will tell you the #
of tapes a particular nodes data is on Note: NODENAME should be all
UPPERCASE.

tsm: SERVER1>select NODE_NAME as NODE,count(distinct VOLUME_NAME) as "#

of tapes used" from VOLUMEUSAGE where NODE_NAME='WBMPWEB04' and
STGPOOL_NAME='NTPRODCOPYPOOL' group by NODE_NAME

NODE_NAME='WBMPWEB04' and STGPOOL_NAME='NTPRODCOPYPOOL' group by
VOLUME_NAME

107ACB
126ACB
This is similar to the output of the command show volumeusage, however
the show volumeusage command only works on primary storage volumes, not
copyppool volumes.

NT clusters password problem fix obtained from [Link]...

have had this problem a couple of times and the instructions are sketchy
as to how to update the passwords in the registry. Client seems to get
in a twist about the passwords replicated between the nodes somehow.

Remove the cluster resource for the service from Cluster Admin then
execute the following command on each server to update the registry
passwords.

dsmcutil update scheduler /name:"<service name>" /clientdir:"<client

install dir" /optfile:"<optfilelocation>" /node:<nodename>
/password:pass /validate:yes /clusternode:yes /clustername:<clustername>
/force:yes

Probably worth logging on manually to TSM from each node then setting up
the clustered resource again.
