TSM client side access

Hi dudes,

There is something crazy about this TSM in all our mind, after looking on to this, its much easier like linux. I hope that the below mentioned messages will give you some dare to speak about TSM in the conference,

Basic Info on TSM Client

Some Terms:

Node Name: Name assigned to TSM client while registering in TSM server

Backup: It’s a backup, which can have 2 or more versions in TSM Server

1. Active version of backup which is the latest backup
2. Inactive version of backup which is older than the latest backup

Archive: It’s a backup, which can have any no. of versions depends upon the expiry date defined in the management class(no. of days of archive stored in tsm server)

You can open a TSM client software using

1. dsm – GUI based tool
2. dsmc – Text based tool

Lets get into some basic commands:

To View the session information like the server name, node name (client) etc…

$ dsmc query session

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager

Command Line Backup/Archive Client Interface

Client Version 5, Release 3, Level 0.12

Client date/time: 11/24/0801:15:11

(c) Copyright by IBM Corporation and other(s) 1990, 2005. All Rights Reserved.

Node Name: DDADB350

Session established with server TSM_SERVER: AIX-RS/6000

Server Version 5, Release 2, Level 3.0

Data compression forced on by the server

Server date/time: 11/24/0801:15:12 Last access: 11/24/0800:54:26

TSM Server Connection Information

Server Name.............: TSM_SERVER

Server Type.............: AIX-RS/6000

Server Version..........: Ver. 5, Rel. 2, Lev. 3.0

Last Access Date........: 11/24/0800:54:26

Delete Backup Files.....: "Yes"

Delete Archive Files....: "Yes"

Node Name...............: DDADB350

User Name...............: root

This shows that

client name is CLIENT

TSM server name is TSM_SERVER.

TSM Server version is 5.2

TSM Client version is 5.3

How to take a backup:

To take selective files:

$ dsmc selective /usr/* -subdir=yes

To take incremental:

$ dsmc incremental /usr/* -subdir=yes

How to archive:

$ dsmc archive /usr/* -archmc=arch0365 –subdir=yes

Here archmc is the term for management class and arch0365 is a customized management class, which will keep the data in tape for 365 days. We can create customized MC in TSM Server.

How to check the active backup:

$ dsmc query backup /usr/* -subdir=yes

How to check the inactive backup:

$ dsmc query backup /usr/* -inactive –subdir=yes

How to check for archived data:

$ dsmc query archive /usr/* -subdir=yes

This will list the files archived, which can be on different dates:

You can use from date option to get a list of archive from that particular date:

$ dsmc query archive /usr/* -fromdate=11/02/06 –subdir=yes

How to check the latest backup date and time:

$ dsmc query filespace

here fs means the file space. File space is the space kept in TSM server for each file system. This command will list the backup information with last backup date.

$ root dsmc query filespace

Adding the printer quue

Hi,

The procedure to add the network printer queue is not a difficult task at any time, in AIX too.

Example: Printer IP (192.168.1.2)
Put the entry in your AIX server host file

vi /etc/hots
192.168.1.2 tallyprinter

Smitty printer --> print spooling --> Add a print queue -->remote--> Local filtering before sending to print server--> others(select if printer is not listed)-->generic printer -->

ASCII (lp001)
hostname of remote server (tallyprinter)
name of the queue on the remote server (lp001)

press Enter...............

now the network printer is added with the name "lp001"
you can check the printer with the command
"lp -dlp001 /etc/host"

regards,
Guru

UNIX performance monitoring

The nmon is the IBM recommended tool to monitor the server performance (linux,AIX)
Download nmon clickhere

Setup procedure:-
This is the tool u can insert in the linux or aix machine by creating one directory, run the below mentioned command in that particular directory wr u placed the nmon file.

./nmon -fT -s 30 -c 120

It will generate one file in the hostname, export that file to your desktop machine using FTP or Winscp, the file will be in the .nmon extention, now u download the nmon analyzer clickhere

this is the EXcel file, before open this file disable the macros in the microsoft Excel security settings, and open the nmon anlyzer file click on the button available over there it will ask for the nmon file, choose the location of the file wr u have in ur desktop, this tool will generate the GUI based report.

this report have almost all nformation of your system including LPAR, CPU,MEMORY,NETWORK,HDD usage, SAN............... etc.,

You can use this at the peak time to check the performance of the servers like DB2, SQL, Websphere, HTTP servers.

The HACMP

HACMP is the aplication developed by IBM for the AIX, but after the version 5.4 the HACMP is designed to work with linux also.
This developed on the basis of HA clustering, By default the application will choose the default location /opt/...., but the HACMP will choose /usr/es/sbin/cluster
./clstat is the command to view the cluster state, it will show you the cluster name & the resource group information.

Vi Cheat Sheet

Click here for the Advanced VI Cheatsheet

Modes

Vi has two modes insertion mode and command mode. The editor begins in command mode, where the cursor movement and text deletion and pasting occur. Insertion mode begins upon entering an insertion or change command. [ESC] returns the editor to command mode (where you can quit, for example by typing :q!). Most commands execute as soon as you type them except for "colon" commands which execute when you press the ruturn key.

Quitting

:x	Exit, saving changes
:q	Exit as long as there have been no changes
ZZ	Exit and save changes if any have been made
:q!	Exit and ignore any changes

Inserting Text

i	Insert before cursor
I	Insert before line
a	Append after cursor
A	Append after line
o	Open a new line after current line
O	Open a new line before current line
r	Replace one character
R	Replace many characters

Motion

h	Move left
j	Move down
k	Move up
l	Move right
w	Move to next word
W	Move to next blank delimited word
b	Move to the beginning of the word
B	Move to the beginning of blank delimted word
e	Move to the end of the word
E	Move to the end of Blank delimited word
(	Move a sentance back
)	Move a sentance forward
{	Move a paragraph back
}	Move a paragraph forward
0	Move to the begining of the line
$	Move to the end of the line
1G	Move to the first line of the file
G	Move to the last line of the file
nG	Move to nth line of the file
:n	Move to nth line of the file
fc	Move forward to c
Fc	Move back to c
H	Move to top of screen
M	Move to middle of screen
L	Move to botton of screen
%	Move to associated ( ), { }, [ ]

Deleting Text

Almost all deletion commands are performed by typing d followed by a motion. For example, dw deletes a word. A few other deletes are:

x	Delete character to the right of cursor
X	Delete character to the left of cursor
D	Delete to the end of the line
dd	Delete current line
:d	Delete current line

Yanking Text

Like deletion, almost all yank commands are performed by typing y followed by a motion. For example, y$ yanks to the end of the line. Two other yank commands are:

yy	Yank the current line
:y	Yank the current line

Changing text

The change command is a deletion command that leaves the editor in insert mode. It is performed by typing c followed by a motion. For wxample cw changes a word. A few other change commands are:

C	Change to the end of the line
cc	Change the whole line

Putting text

p	Put after the position or after the line
P	Put before the poition or before the line

Buffers

Named buffers may be specified before any deletion, change, yank or put command. The general prefix has the form "c where c is any lowercase character. for example, "adw deletes a word into buffer a. It may thereafter be put back into text with an appropriate "ap.

Markers

Named markers may be set on any line in a file. Any lower case letter may be a marker name. Markers may also be used as limits for ranges.

mc	Set marker c on this line
`c	Go to beginning of marker c line.
'c	Go to first non-blank character of marker c line.

Search for strings

/string	Search forward for string
?string	Search back for string
n	Search for next instance of string
N	Search for previous instance of string

Replace

The search and replace function is accomplished with the :s command. It is commonly used in combination with ranges or the :g command (below).

:s/pattern/string/flags	Replace pattern with string according to flags.
g	Flag - Replace all occurences of pattern
c	Flag - Confirm replaces.
&	Repeat last :s command

Regular Expressions

. (dot)	Any single character except newline
*	zero or more occurances of any character
[...]	Any single character specified in the set
[^...]	Any single character not specified in the set
^	Anchor - beginning of the line
$	Anchor - end of line
\<	Anchor - begining of word
\>	Anchor - end of word
$...$	Grouping - usually used to group conditions
\n	Contents of nth grouping

[...] - Set Examples
[A-Z]	The SET from Capital A to Capital Z
[a-z]	The SET from lowercase a to lowercase z
[0-9]	The SET from 0 to 9 (All numerals)
[./=+]	The SET containing . (dot), / (slash), =, and +
[-A-F]	The SET from Capital A to Capital F and the dash (dashes must be specified first)
[0-9 A-Z]	The SET containing all capital letters and digits and a space
[A-Z][a-zA-Z]	In the first position, the SET from Capital A to Capital Z In the second character position, the SET containing all letters

Regular Expression Examples
/Hello/	Matches if the line contains the value Hello
/^TEST$/	Matches if the line contains TEST by itself
/^[a-zA-Z]/	Matches if the line starts with any letter
/^[a-z].*/	Matches if the first character of the line is a-z and there is at least one more of any character following it
/2134$/	Matches if line ends with 2134
/$21\|35$/	Matches is the line contains 21 or 35 Note the use of ( ) with the pipe symbol to specify the 'or' condition
/[0-9]*/	Matches if there are zero or more numbers in the line
/^[^#]/	Matches if the first character is not a # in the line
Notes: 1. Regular expressions are case sensitive 2. Regular expressions are to be used where pattern is specified

Counts

Nearly every command may be preceded by a number that specifies how many times it is to be performed. For example, 5dw will delete 5 words and 3fe will move the cursor forward to the 3rd occurence of the letter e. Even insertions may be repeated conveniently with thismethod, say to insert the same line 100 times.

Ranges

Ranges may precede most "colon" commands and cause them to be executed on a line or lines. For example :3,7d would delete lines 3-7. Ranges are commonly combined with the :s command to perform a replacement on several lines, as with :.,$s/pattern/string/g to make a replacement from the current line to the end of the file.

:n,m	Range - Lines n-m
:.	Range - Current line
:$	Range - Last line
:'c	Range - Marker c
:%	Range - All lines in file
:g/pattern/	Range - All lines that contain pattern

Files

:w file	Write to file
:r file	Read file in after line
:n	Go to next file
:p	Go to previos file
:e file	Edit file
!!program	Replace line with output from program

Other

~	Toggle upp and lower case
J	Join lines
.	Repeat last text-changing command
u	Undo last change
U	Undo all changes to line
