Although you can run the components on the same host, and some users do so(maybe thinking of such a configuration as an "appliance"), in general, wedo not advise this type of configuration. As Mikhail points out, thecomponents must all be at the same fix pack level, e.g., if server is at8.1.10, then DP for VMware must also be at 8.1.10. When you upgrade onecomponent to a newer fix pack level, you must upgrade the other componentsas well.It is advised that the server be configured in accordance with ourblueprints https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1146352, so any "all inone box" solution should take into consideration the additional workloadthat DP for VMware and the Storage Agent place on the host that also runsIBM Spectrum Protect server.Regards,AndyAndrew RaibeckIBM Spectrum Protect Level 3IBM Systems, Storagestor...@us.ibm.comIBM"ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" wrote on 2021-03-0902:30:47:> From: Mikhail Tolkonyuk > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Date: 2021-03-09 02:31> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: TSM for VE installation on TSM server> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" >> Not recommend as it uses different versions of the same components> (baclient, etc.), and updating TSMVE may break the TSM server> itself.

Thanks RayThe idea of a roll-your-own scripted backup of VMs was the original conception of this environment, some years ago now, but it was hard to make it work and there were time pressures, so we went with the simple option first. Only now is that becoming unmanageable.It's still a lot of work and of course we have an extensive test environment to play with and a team of crack programmers to do it . It's strictly a side project and we have to be careful to not break anything.As to job submission a TSM command schedule should do it. We have ControlM if we need it.CheersSteve. -Original Message-From: Storer, Raymond [mailto:stor...@nibco.com] Sent: Thursday, 19 October 2017 4:19 AMTo: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU>Cc: Harris, Steven <steven.har...@btfinancialgroup.com>Subject: RE: TSM for VE - VMCLISteven,Sorry, I cannot help you with the vmcli commands.

I have 8 TSM for VE installations in one of our data centers all runningTSM4VE 7.1.4.0 on windows server 2008R2. One of the servers was a messafter patching (the rest are OK). When I logged on the CPU's were peggedand there were hundreds of CMD.EXE processes starting and stopping. Ifound that by stopping the "Data Protection for VMware CLI" and "Dataprotection for VMware web server service" services the CPU settled down(not sure which of those two did it). I then noticed the C: drive had zerobytes free and found all sorts of TRC DMP and TXT files in this folder:C:\IBM\tivoli\tsm\tdpvmware\webserver\usr\servers\veProfileI deleted all those files and now the server is back up, but only after Idisabled those services as the disk filled again after a reboot. I don'tthink I actually need those services as I don't use any web interface but Iwon't know until tomorrow when my backup jobs run. The other 7 TSM4VEservers patched with no issues??
Backup and recovery of a Domain Controller, VM or physical server, works pretty much the same. The only real difference comes in restoring the VM or installing the OS from media. Since Windows Server 2012 R2 installs so quickly, I prefer to simply install from media. Purely preference though.I found the below document very helpful in describing backup and recovery of Active Directory. I do not know the author or the company. I just thought it was useful.http://www.edeconsulting.be/downloads/WindowsServer2012ADBackupandDisasterRecoveryProcedures_V1.2.pdfRay-Original Message-From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Lee, GarySent: Wednesday, June 7, 2017 3:24 PMTo: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUSubject: [ADSM-L] tsm for ve and backup / restore of VMs as domain controlersWe are in the process of revising our entire domain controller infrastructure.The new DCs will be VMs and running at the 2008 functional level.We use TSM for Ve to back up our VMs.How are folks handling backup / restore of domain controlers in general, and especially those on VMs.Thank you for your assistance.CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any attachments are for theexclusive and confidential use of the intended recipient.

First, I must admit I'm no Microsoft person so I am probably using thewrong names when it comes to that, sorry in advance. :-)Most of my customers do something like this.They backup the DC's with VE and the B/A client.The use the B/A client to restore (reactivate?) OU's.They only restore a DC VM when all DC's are broken like in a DR scenario.They will build a new VM when a single DC is broken and manually give thatVM the DC role.Time/date issues occur when you restore a DC VM in a domain when other DC'sare still running so don't do that.Hope this helps.Regards, StefanOn Wed, Jun 7, 2017 at 9:23 PM, Lee, Gary <g...@bsu.edu> wrote:> We are in the process of revising our entire domain controller> infrastructure.>> The new DCs will be VMs and running at the 2008 functional level.>> We use TSM for Ve to back up our VMs.> How are folks handling backup / restore of domain controlers in general,> and especially those on VMs.>> Thank you for your assistance.>

Correct. Nothing at all in the error log now. The scheduler log justshows the backup activity of the first backup then after a few minute gapthe scheduler is restarted by the CAD (since it had terminatedunexpectedly) and tries again until the 1 hour window is up.That was before clearing out c:\windows\temp. It has been running forabout 2 hours now without crashing.On Fri, Jun 3, 2016 at 12:19 PM, David Ehresman <david.ehres...@louisville.edu> wrote:> Tom,>> I'm asking the obvious, but are you saying there are no entries in the> dsmerror.log in the baclient folder of the datamover?>> David>> -Original Message-> From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of> Tom Alverson> Sent: Friday, June 03, 2016 11:55 AM> To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Strange TSM for VE error>> Thanks for that info.

OK this is getting weirder and weirder - the server that was generatingthe vShield_SVM error was a vshield server that our vmware guys said shouldnot be backed up. The options were set (by an exclusion option) to skipall of the server names that are used for vShield - except the exclusionwas not working. I finally excluded the full specific server name and nowit goes on to the next server and the scheduler process just quits right inthe middle of the backup with absolutely no logging of any errors now. Itdid this with TSM for VE 7.1.4.0 and did not change when I put 7.1.4.1 onthe VBS server. I guess the next step is an IBM ticket as I have no clueat this point. I even excluded the next server it was working on and itjust started on the server after that and bombs (with no errors logged).Once it bombs, the scheduler tries again once or twice during the hour butthe same thing happens each time.TomOn Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 10:01 AM, Ryder, Michael S <michael_s.ry...@roche.com> wrote:> Tom:>> I had an extremely similar problem, with this same string in my errors --> "ReconfigVM_USCORETask">> This is the article I read that helped me to solve my problem.>> In short... vCenter permissions.>> http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21497028>> Good Luck>> Best regards,>> Mike Ryder> RMD IT Client Services>> On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 9:04 AM, Rick Adamson <rickadam...@segrocers.com>> wrote:>> > Tom,> > I think you need to look for the cause in either vCenter or Veeam.> > The message *"The method is disabled by XXX" refers to vCenter> > blocking backup tasks via the API, and vShield_SVM is specific to Veeam.> >> > There are known issues where a task such as vMotion runs, which sets a> > flag in vCenter so other tasks don't cause conflicts, then when the> vMotion> > task finishes the flag does not get removed properly.

Tom,I think you need to look for the cause in either vCenter or Veeam.The message *"The method is disabled by XXX" refers to vCenter blocking backup tasks via the API, and vShield_SVM is specific to Veeam.There are known issues where a task such as vMotion runs, which sets a flag in vCenter so other tasks don't cause conflicts, then when the vMotion task finishes the flag does not get removed properly. The result is other backup jobs are not able to run.Referencing these VMware and Veeam threads will help understand:https://forums.veeam.com/vmware-vsphere-f24/storage-vmotion-fails-t1.html https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US=displayKC=2008957 I know this doesn't provide you with a direct resolution, but hopefully will get you going down the right path.Again, I would start with taking a look at vCenter and Veeam for additional information.Hope this helps.Let us know what you find.-Rick Adamson-Original Message-From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Tom AlversonSent: Wednesday, June 01, 2016 6:49 PMTo: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUSubject: [ADSM-L] Strange TSM for VE errorI am running TSM for VE 7.1.4.1 on WIndows 2008 and it has been OK until about 2 weeks ago.

Hi Bas and Jeanne!Thanks for the tip! Our IBM contact pointed me to the TSM Wiki site. On this site one can find the 'Spectrum Protect for VE 7.1.3 Installation Cookbook' (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/groups/service/html/communityview?communityUuid=869bac74-5fc2-4b94-81a2-6153890e029a#fullpageWidgetId=W1420ccd1a64d_45f8_8f76_fdbd1fa5cb3e=2a46a2a5-8e9a-4c1a-adce-0fbb46f99438) which explains the installation and configuration process step-by-step.

Hello. We use VEEAM to backup our VM's, but I had to ask our VM guy because when you mentioned that the GUI is not available in your VMWare environment.For the GUI, he is suggesting (and this is if we are understanding your GUI/VMWare statement correctly):Then something isn't setup right.The first question that comes to mind, is do they even have vCenter?If not... you're not installing the plugin. The plugin needs to tie into the central management for the cluster.If they do have a vCenter server whether it's windows or the VMware appliance, then yes there is a GUI available.Try to get to the https://vcenter-servername:9443 - if it's not coming up, there's a misconfigured firewall on the Windows box OR a firewall/network ACL blocking access to those ports on the VMware appliance.-Original Message-From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Loon, EJ van (ITOPT3) - KLMSent: Wednesday, April 13, 2016 9:00 AMTo: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUSubject: [ADSM-L] TSM for VE (DP for VMware on Linux)** THIS IS AN EXTERNAL EMAIL ** Use caution before opening links / attachments.

Neil this is really disturbing.The excerpt is directly from the VMware document referenced by IBM. Whywhy WHY would I spend years building and supporting a SAN-backed solutionand get kicked-to-the-curb like this?*"A fix is unlikely."*Thanks a lot VMware! The only option then, if I understand this correctly,to continue doing SAN-based backups and restores using the 7.1.4 client isto upgrade my entire VMware infrastructure to at least 6.0.1, is thatcorrect?*Thank you for pointing this out, Neil,* I will sadly have to lock myenvironment down at 7.1.2 or 7.1.3.Known Issues and WorkaroundsThe following issue applies to VDDK 6.0.1 only. - *Backup and restore using SAN transport fails with VDDK 6.0.1 for VMs residing on ESXi 5.5 or earlier.* When VDDK 6.0.1 connects to an ESXi 5.5.x host using SAN transport, and tries to retrieve the virtual machine MoRef from the snapshot managed object, the operation fails with the vmodl.fault.InvalidRequest error. This backward compatibility failure is due to changes in the getVM method between vSphere 5.5, 6.0, and 6.0.1. A fix is unlikely. The workaround is to use non-SAN transport when connecting to ESXi 5.5 and earlier hosts.Best regards,Mike RyderRMD IT Client ServicesOn Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 4:44 PM, Schofield, Neil (Storage & Middleware,Backup & Restore) <neil.schofi...@lloydsbanking.com> wrote:> A couple of gotchas that caught me out today might be useful info for> somebody:>>> - The following document suggests TSM for VE 7.1.4 will work with> vSphere 5.1, 5.5 and 6.0:>> http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21970882#Supported%20VMware%20vSphere%20versions>> As I discovered the hard way, this seems to be stretching things a little.> The VDDK version that ships with the 7.1.4 client - v6.0.1 - has a rather> nasty limitation which means you can't back up VMs on vShpere 5.1 or 5.5> using the SAN transport.

A couple of gotchas that caught me out today might be useful info for somebody:- The following document suggests TSM for VE 7.1.4 will work with vSphere 5.1, 5.5 and 6.0:http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21970882#Supported%20VMware%20vSphere%20versionsAs I discovered the hard way, this seems to be stretching things a little. The VDDK version that ships with the 7.1.4 client - v6.0.1 - has a rather nasty limitation which means you can't back up VMs on vShpere 5.1 or 5.5 using the SAN transport. IBM don't seem to have gone out of their way to draw your attention to this, but details are in the VDDK 6.0.1 release notes embedded in the following:http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21672351- In common I believe with TSM for VE 7.1.3, version 7.1.4 goes to almost absurd lengths to conceal the fact that it isn't going to install the Recovery Agent Device Driver. When presented with what is on the face of it a full set of features to be installed, you have to expand the Recovery Agent feature to realise that the Recovery Agent Device Driver sub-feature is now an option that must be manually selected for installation (even if upgrading from a version where the functionality was previously enabled.)RegardsNeil SchofieldTivoli Storage Manager SMEBackup & Recovery | Storage & Middleware | Central Infrastructure Services | Infrastructure & Service Delivery | Group ITLLOYDS BANKING GROUPLloyds Banking Group plc.

You might want to look into making some full VM backups for the mostimportant vn's to get the relevant metadata to disk asap.I see to many people putting metadata on tape and using incremental foreveron tape with VE, it causes pretty serieus issues when the time comes torestore.When people implement it and test it right away it works OK but after a fewmonths things start to fall apart, especially when you don't collocate perfilespace.On Friday, September 18, 2015, Michael Prix wrote:> Steve,>> if it's really a pool on a VTL, then there are no major implications for> you.> The reason the metadata should stay on disk is that the metadata is> needed for CBT to detect the blocks needed to be backed up and to get> the right blocks in case of a poit-in-time restore.

7.1.2.0Recently, our meta diskpool filled up, and an admin who didn't know any better saw that it didn't have a downstream tapepool (vtl) so he went ahead and added one, to which the meta started flowing.What are the implications of having our data and meta in the same vtape pool? Is there any way to pull them back apart?For future, can we setup a vtape pool downstream for the meta if that pool is not shared by anyone else?

Steve,if it's really a pool on a VTL, then there are no major implications foryou.The reason the metadata should stay on disk is that the metadata isneeded for CBT to detect the blocks needed to be backed up and to getthe right blocks in case of a poit-in-time restore. If these data is ontape, a VM-backup would run for days.If, in your case, the data is on a VTL-tape, it will generate tapemountson the VTL and thus be slower that a diskpool, but these migratedmetadata will expire with the time so the impact will ease. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regardsMichael PrixOn 09/18/2015 03:50 PM, Schaub, Steve wrote:> 7.1.2.0>> Recently, our meta diskpool filled up, and an admin who didn't know any > better saw that it didn't have a downstream tapepool (vtl) so he went ahead > and added one, to which the meta started flowing.> What are the implications of having our data and meta in the same vtape pool? > Is there any way to pull them back apart?> For future, can we setup a vtape pool downstream for the meta if that pool is > not shared by anyone else?

You treat the filepool as if it was tape. You don't want hundreds of nodes data on a tape cartridge because it causes contention, and it causes massive amount of tape mounts. You can get the same types of problems with filepool volumes even though it is disk. When a filepool volume is being read it is mounted, just like a tape. If you are using replication between two ProtecTIER VTL's, production and DR, you can actually checkout a volume in one vtl and check it in in the other vtl, just like tape.

I had a backup issue with one particular VM (ANS9921E and ANS9919E) which Ithought might be fixed (per a KB article) by upgrading the BACLIENT from7.1.1.0 to 7.1.2.2. Not only did this not fix the issue but now when I runthe GUI and click the + to expand the list of VM's to back up I get thiserror:ANS1403E Error loading a required library: vixDiskLib.dll, Win32 rc=126 DLL andANS9266E Failure initializing virtual machine environment.

I then searched the entire disk of a different VBS server thatwas still working and did not find that command either. Does anyone knowhow to resolve this?

Hi ,After upgrading to VSPhere 6.0, we had to upgrade TSm client from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 and also have those 3 patches installed on VSPhere 6.0:211612621161272116129They all are related to backup and CBT operations.Pierre-Message d'origine-De : ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] De la part de Gee, NormanEnvoyé : 28 juillet 2015 13:52À : ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUObjet : Re: [ADSM-L] Upgrading BACLIENT to 7.1.2.2 broke TSM for VE ???I have just upgraded one of my servers from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2.2 because of the support needed for VSphere 6.0 and I am experiencing some of the same problems.

I think I may have fixed it. I found in swg21580462 a hint that you may need to do a custom install of the BACLIENT and enable the VMWare Backup Tools option to fix the issue. In 7.1.2.2 there is nothing called VMware Backup Tools but there was another VMware option that was not enabled and now that I have added that feature I am able to expand the list of VM's to backup in the GUI.

I had a backup issue with one particular VM (ANS9921E and ANS9919E) which I thought might be fixed (per a KB article) by upgrading the BACLIENT from 7.1.1.0 to 7.1.2.2. Not only did this not fix the issue but now when I run the GUI and click the + to expand the list of VM's to back up I get this error: ANS1403E Error loading a required library: vixDiskLib.dll, Win32 rc=126 DLLand ANS9266E Failure initializing virtual machine environment. Can not find vcbMounter.exe command RC=-303 So next I upgraded TSM for VE from 7.1.1.0 to 7.1.2.0 but I still get the same error. I searched the entire disk for vcbMounter.exe but could not find it. I then searched the entire disk of a different VBS server that was still working and did not find that command either. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I asked someone on our backup team to open a ticket with IBM but I would like to fix what I have broken quickly if possible before a ton of backup failure tickets are created tonight when this backup does not work.

Hi Matthew,We did 2 things: upgrade to 7.1.1 and follow your hint. I think 7.1.1 fixes many of these kind of issues, so I’m not sure which one of the two fixed the issue, but it is resolved. Thanks.(we had to go to 7.1 because the vmware team was about to upgrade vCenter to 5.5) Op 13 apr. 2015, om 21:49 heeft Matthew McGeary matthew.mcge...@potashcorp.com het volgende geschreven: Hello Remco, I had this very same problem when we implemented TSM for VE when 6.4 came out. I found that, during the snapshot process, the datamover tried to create a snapshot of itself, which caused the process to crash. By design, the datamover will attempt to remove stale snapshot data when backup operations are started, which means that it tries to remove all mounted disks from the system that were added by the snapshot process. Unfortunately, this includes the datamover's own disk, which causes another crash. And so the loop continues. Snapshot data is stored in the windows\temp\vmware-inc folder. You'll have to reboot the datamover into recovery mode so you can delete this folder. It's locked during regular Windows boots. Once that folder is deleted, you should be able to reboot into standard mode and perform scheduled (or GUI-initiated) backups normally. Good luck and let us know how it goes! __ Matthew McGeary Technical Specialist - Infrastructure PotashCorp T: (306) 933-8921 www.potashcorp.com http://www.potashcorp.com/ Mail-bijlage.gif From:Remco Post r.p...@plcs.nl To:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Date:04/13/2015 09:30 AM Subject:[ADSM-L] TSM 4 VE proxy crash Sent by:ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Hi All, I’ve been struggling with a TSM4VE issue for the past few weeks and so far IBM has been unable to help me. We’re running TSM4VE on a virtual machine and made the mistake of having that VM make a VM backup of itself. Ever since, even now the VM is no longer included in the VM backups TSM attempts to detach the VM’s own active disks from the VM. Of course this is successful, but a windows VM without a system disk crashes within seconds. This only happens during scheduled backups that run as ’local system’, not when I attempt a VM backup manually using my own user account. My hypothesis is that TSM somehow retains information about which disks is has hot-added to the VE proxy, but I don’t know where or how. And apparently, nor does my support engineer. How do I, apart from completely reinstalling the VE proxy, cleanup this mess? This all is TSM 6.4.2.0 and TSM4VE 6.4.2.0 on windows 2008 r2. -- Met vriendelijke groeten/Kind Regards, Remco Post r.p...@plcs.nl +31 6 248 21 622 -- Met vriendelijke groeten/Kind Regards,Remco Postr.p...@plcs.nl+31 6 248 21 622

Hi Steve, There will be snapshot creation message for each Virtual machine backup and once backup got completed then it will create another entry for snapshot deletion in Vcenter task log.

Hello Remco,I had this very same problem when we implemented TSM for VE when 6.4 came out. I found that, during the snapshot process, the datamover tried to create a snapshot of itself, which caused the process to crash. By design, the datamover will attempt to remove stale snapshot data when backup operations are started, which means that it tries to remove all mounted disks from the system that were added by the snapshot process. Unfortunately, this includes the datamover's own disk, which causes another crash.And so the loop continues.Snapshot data is stored in the windows\temp\vmware-inc folder. You'll have to reboot the datamover into recovery mode so you can delete this folder. It's locked during regular Windows boots. Once that folder is deleted, you should be able to reboot into standard mode and perform scheduled (or GUI-initiated) backups normally.Good luck and let us know how it goes!__Matthew McGearyTechnical Specialist - InfrastructurePotashCorpT: (306) 933-8921www.potashcorp.comFrom: Remco Post r.p...@plcs.nlTo: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUDate: 04/13/2015 09:30 AMSubject:[ADSM-L] TSM 4 VE proxy crashSent by:ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUHi All,I’ve been struggling with a TSM4VE issue for the past few weeks and so far IBM has been unable to help me. We’re running TSM4VE on a virtual machine and made the mistake of having that VM make a VM backup of itself. Ever since, even now the VM is no longer included in the VM backups TSM attempts to detach the VM’s own active disks from the VM. Of course this is successful, but a windows VM without a system disk crashes within seconds. This only happens during scheduled backups that run as ’local system’, not when I attempt a VM backup manually using my own user account.My hypothesis is that TSM somehow retains information about which disks is has hot-added to the VE proxy, but I don’t know where or how.

There's no mention of pagefile 'awareness' in the documentation, so it's safe to say that the backup will consist of all changed blocks, regardless of what's stored on them.Ditto. We've found that that the backup GB per day for VE can be significantly higher than it would be if the machines were physical servers because you pick up all changed blocks. That includes pagefile.sys, and all the Windows temporary crud that you can usually exclude on a physical machine.Where we have really gotten burned is double-dipping on MS-SQL - DB's were set up with maintenance plans that backup to a /BACKUPS directory, then after a P to V conversion ended up on the same hdisk as the DB itself. With VE you then get double the changed blocks - blocks for the DB itself, and changed blocks for the /BACKUPS directory. And machines created with big work directories on hdisks that can't be excluded. etc. etc.You'll want to have a conversation with your VM team about how to create VM's that are backup friendly, by splitting into more hdisks and identifying those that can be excluded from backups. As for threaded behavior, I've pinned all the cores on my datamover during heavy parallel backups using deduplication, so while it may only register as a single process in the Task Manager, it seems clear that TSM is acting like a multi-threaded application.Yup. Pins all the cores we give it, and we aren't using dedup.Wanda PratherTSM ConsultantICF International Enterprise and Cybersecurity Systems DivisionFrom:Schaub, Steve steve_sch...@bcbst.commailto:steve_sch...@bcbst.comTo:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUmailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUDate:03/02/2015 11:24 AMSubject:[ADSM-L] Is TSM for VE 7.1.1.1 pagefile aware?

Hello Steve,There's no mention of pagefile 'awareness' in the documentation, so it'ssafe to say that the backup will consist of all changed blocks, regardlessof what's stored on them. As for threaded behavior, I've pinned all thecores on my datamover during heavy parallel backups using deduplication,so while it may only register as a single process in the Task Manager, itseems clear that TSM is acting like a multi-threaded application. As foryour last point, I don't know why IBM changed the status codes for VMschedules from 'Failed' to 'Completed' but I suspect it has something todo with VMWare's abysmal ability to create quiesced snapshots on aconsistent basis.We backup ~500 VMs on a daily basis and usually have 4-5 failures, all dueto quiescing errors. I guess IBM got tired of customer complaints thattheir VM backup schedules 'always failed' and quietly changed the statuscode to make the product look a little better.__Matthew McGearyTechnical Specialist - OperationsPotashCorpT: (306) 933-8921www.potashcorp.comFrom: Schaub, Steve steve_sch...@bcbst.comTo: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUDate: 03/02/2015 11:24 AMSubject:[ADSM-L] Is TSM for VE 7.1.1.1 pagefile aware?

You need to put the VM excludes either in each of datamover dsm.opt or put them in the schedule that the datamover is associated with. We put them in the schedule because I can update them without logging onto each of the datamovers.David-Original Message-From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Schaub, SteveSent: Tuesday, February 24, 2015 11:05 AMTo: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUSubject: [ADSM-L] TSM for VE 7.1.1.1 exclude vm questionNew to VE, looked through the docs and still unsure if this is supported:Can I use a Client Option Set to centralize all the specific excludes of VM's, or am I limited to putting them in each Datamover's opt files?If yes, can someone send me a working example?Thanks,Steve SchaubSystems Engineer II, Backup/RecoveryBlue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee-Please see the following link for the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee E-mail disclaimer: http://www.bcbst.com/email_disclaimer.shtm

My reading of that technote is that the *first* backup will include all allocated space rather than just the used space; but that subsequent backups will use CBT and be true incrementals (and the extra allocated space will all be empty, so it should compress or dedup out).If you are getting full backups on subsequent runs, I think you should open a PMR.Something else is wrong.Wanda PratherTSM ConsultantICF International Enterprise and Cybersecurity Systems Division-Original Message-From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Lee, GarySent: Thursday, January 15, 2015 9:12 AMTo: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUSubject: [ADSM-L] tsm for ve, nfs datastores and cbtWe are running vmware 5.1, using tsm for ve 6.4.2, and using nfs data stores.It appears that change block tracking does not work with tsm for ve on nfs data stores.This is forcing full backups every night.Our environment is currently over 14 tB and growing.With this limitation, we will not be able to continue using tsm for ve.Have any on the list encountered this situation, and if so, have you found a work around?Further information is here.http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21681916
Lee,The VMWare documentation is a bit confusing, but it appears that while NFSdatastores may support CBT, they don't support it fully. Any backupsoftware that leverages the VMWare APIs for backup will have the sameissue as TSM for VE when backup is initiated on a VM that's stored on aNFS datastore. In order to perform incremental-style backups on VMsstored on an NFS datastore, you'd need something like VEEAM, which has itsown changed-block-tracking mechanism and doesn't leverage the VMWare APIfor that purpose.__Matthew McGearyTechnical Specialist - OperationsPotashCorpT: (306) 933-8921www.potashcorp.comFrom: Lee, Gary g...@bsu.eduTo: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUDate: 01/15/2015 08:14 AMSubject:[ADSM-L] tsm for ve, nfs datastores and cbtSent by:ADSM: Dist Stor Manager ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDUWe are running vmware 5.1, using tsm for ve 6.4.2, and using nfs datastores.It appears that change block tracking does not work with tsm for ve on nfsdata stores.This is forcing full backups every night.Our environment is currently over 14 tB and growing.With this limitation, we will not be able to continue using tsm for ve.Have any on the list encountered this situation, and if so, have you founda work around?Further information is here.http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21681916
