Hi Anil,
I have seen many of the TSM tutorials that you have posted on Youtube. Very helpful. Thanks for them.

1 question. I am using Operation Center to manage my TSM 7.1. 5 setup. Can you tell if there is a way to make Tape library and drive definition in the Operation Center GUI ? I have used the Command Builder utility to create that. However doing it from GUI would be an easier option.

Also, can you point me to any tutorial, that mentions the differences between TSM Administator Center and Operation Center, and why is it advantages to use Operation Center for the latest versions of TSM.

Thanks,

Hi Anil,

In our organisation we are migrating the setup, so we need database of current environment to newly setup environment, the problem is we are transfering the tsmdb filesystem to new setup over the network..
The issue is how we can transfer particular date files in database , for restore in new setup..

Waiting for ur response..

Please upload with TDPO and DB2 configuration on Linux and Aix environment . And how to configure DATA domain with TSM , Please please help me out , i really appreciate

Hi Anil , How to configure data domain with TSM , and TDPO Configration on Unix and Linux server pleasse share this video ,it will be help us lots ,, Thank you

Hi Anil,

Hi
Could you tell me how to create a STG pool and device class for SAP for Oracle in AIX,
Normally data backup size is 320G to 620G around, what is the good method to backup and is it
possible to backup this system in to Diskpool ?

TSM server OS version :- ReadHat 7
TSM version :- spectum Protect 8.1
Client 0S ;- AIX 7

SAP DB size is 230 to 670 G
two tape drive available
07 -AIX LPAR need to be backup different type of SAP system with in different retention period

HI Anil
IT will really help full thank a lot I have created as bellow
Storage Storage Device
Pool Name Pool Type Class Nam

online_SAPDB_POOL Primary TAPE
offline_SAPDB_POOL Primary TAPE
SAP_LOG Primary DISK
COPY_online_SAPDB_POOL SECONDARY TAPE
COPY_offline_SAPDB_POOL SECONDARY TAPE
COPY_DB_POOL_SECONDY SECONDARY TAPE

and how to we assign policy set for that , it should configure in TSM level or Oracle , and please explain how to configure bellow requirement as example
14day backup and 7day archived

nice day

For TDP SAP, data retention policies are configured in initSID.utl file initSID.sap file. Check this link for more info

HOW configure LAN-free in SAP database (only) and pointing to SAPDBTAPEPOOL
and HOw to configure backup SAP system in AIX (7.1) Cluster environment

TSM LAN_Free configuration

LAN-free data movement allows backup-archive clients to use a SAN environment to send the bulk of the data to back up on the server. The LAN is still used for sending metadata. This implementation frees bandwidth on the LAN for normal traffic and provides a high-speed solution for backup and restore processes.

Install Software's on client: TSM BA client,TSM storage agent,IBM Atape driver.

Zoning: Two HBAs needs to be zoned with 4 target ports.

1.configure the device drivers on client "cfgmgr "

2.check the device drivers properly install or not.
lsdev -Cc device

3.Update the library for LAN-free (update library < libraryname > shared=yes)

4.define the lanfree server
DEFINE SERVER TMECCPRE_STA serverpa=?***? hla=172.24.29.244 lla=1500 comm=tcpip
QUERY SERVER TMECCPRE_STA

5.Define the paths between Storage agent and Library (On TSM server)
DEFINE PATH TMECCPRE_STA drive0 srct=server destt=drive libr=3584lib device=/dev/rmt0 autodetect=yes

6 register the lanfree node
REGISTER NODE TMECCPRE_NEW ?***? userid=none passexp=0 maxnummp=12 dom=sapdom

7.Configure Policy for the Lan-Free backup (If you have configured policy for SAP you can update backup destination here as "SAPDBTAPEPOOL")

Lan-Free Validation:

1.Verify the connection from the TSM server to the Storage Agent
ping server TMECCPRE_STA

2. Validate the available management classes and their associated destination storage pools for LAN-free capability.

validate lanfree TMECCPRE_NEW TMECCPRE_STA

Kindly follow the below steps to configure SAP backup:

1) Find the SAP instance name: ps -ef | grep pmon .. Take the SID as instance name Note: where ever SID has mentioned refer to this SID instance name.

2) Install the BA client and TDP package.
smitty install

Give the noted SID in below installation steps: so it can create all the config files under mentioned SID name.
SID
---
Enter requested information
Enter Oracle SID (Default: ): SID

3) Once the SAP packages are successfully installed, prole service should be started by auto:
ps -ef | grep prole if not provide below command:
nohup /usr/tivoli/tsm/tdp_r3/ora64/prole -p tdpr3ora64 &

4) Register the SAP node, reg node nodename_sap password do=sap_domain backdel=yes archdel=yes maxnummp=4 Note: the archive management class should be enabled for the domain.
5) Make the tsm directory: /oracle/SID--> mkdir tsm
6) create a dsm.opt under /oracle/SID/tsm
servername SAP_NODE
7) Create a dsm.sys under /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin64/
servername SAP_NODE
Commmethod TCPIP
TCPPort
TCPSERVERaddr
nodename nodename_sap
passwordaccess generate
passworddir /oracle/SID/tsm/
errorlogname /oracle/SID/tsm/dsmerror.log
schedlogname /oracle/SID/tsm/dsmsched.log
errorlogr 15 D
schedlogr 15 D

8) Modify the SAP backup configuration files:
There are two files important: initSID.sap and initSID.utl
SERVER SAP_NODE
SESSIONS 4 # Maximum number of sessions
# to server_a
PASSWORDREQUIRED YES # Use a password
# ADSMNODE sap nodename
BRBACKUPMGTCLASS Backup mgmt class -> registered nodes TSM backup mgmt class
BRARCHIVEMGTCLASS archive mgmt class --> registered nodes TSM archive mgmt class

9) Edit the initSID.sap file:
backup_dev_type=util_file
util_par_file=/oracle/SID/102_64/dbs/initSID.utl

10) Export the environment variables in SAP instance:
export DSMI_CONFIG=/orcle/SID/tsm/dsm.opt
export DSMI_LOG=/oracle/SID/tsm/
export DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/

11) Generate the TSM password:
cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/tdp_r3/ora64
./backint -p /oracle/SID/102_64/dbs/initSID.utl -f password

12)Test the backup
brbackup -u / -c -m all -t online -r /oracle/SID/102_64/dbs/initSID.utl


13)Destination
Specifies the primary storage pool where the server initially stores backup data. This parameter is optional. You cannot specify a copy storage pool as the destination.

Kindly follow the below command to point the store backup or archive date to SAPDBTAPEPOOL

>>-UPDate COpygroup--domain_name--policy_set_name--class_name--->

>--+----------+--+-----------------+---------------------------->
'-STANDARD-' '-Type--=--Backup-'

>--+---------------------------+--+--------------------+-------->
'-DESTination--=--pool_name-'


I hope this helps you.
