TSM Backup libtadsm.a errors

[Zoe Snow]

Hi,
I am backing up my db2 udb (v 7.2 FP 8)database to TSM(v4.2.1.15) on
AIX (v4.3.3)
I have updated my ~/sqlutil/userprofile and set the following
variables:

DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin
DSMI_CONFIG=~/tsm/dsm.opt
DSMI_LOG=~/tsm

I stopped and started DB2, logged out of the instance and back in, and
then ran a backup (to the default tsm management class) and it worked.

However, I want my backups to go to another tsm management class so I
got one created (TEST_CLASS).

And I updated the db cfg.....

db2 update db cfg for database using TSM_MGMTCLASS TEST_CLASS

I then logged out of the instance and back in for the changes to take
effect.

Tried to run a backup to the new tsm management class and got the
following error:

SQL2025N An I/O error "41" occurred on media "TSM"

This doesn't write any error messages to the dsierror.log

Looking at SQL codes, this means:
SQL2025N An I/O error "<code>" occurred on media "<dir/devices>".
Explanation: An I/O error occurred while accessing a file on the
specified media.
The utility stops processing.
User Response: Record the error return code. Determine whether the I/O
error can be corrected.

Does any body have any ideas what this means? I contacted my TSM
contact and she said that the process did try to mount the tape - so
it it is getting through.

On another database, with the same structure of set up, I have also
had errors:
SQL2062N an error occurred while accessing media
"~/sqllib/adsm/libtadsm.a". Reason code: 184

Does anyone know what these errors mean, or does anyone know of a TSM
return code manual that would be able to give a defintion/ resolution
to these problems.

Thanks, Zoe Snow

You can view the TSM manuals from IBM's website:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/tdprodlist.html

The return codes are documented in the "Using the Application Programming
Interface" book. The errors are:

0041 E DSM_RC_ABORT_EXCEED_MAX_MP

Explanation: All the tape mount points for this node are in use.

System Action: The system returns to the calling procedure.

User Response: Increase the number of allowed tape mounts for this
node on the server.

0184 E DSM_RC_TL_NOBCG

Explanation: The management class for this file does not have a
backup copy group specified. This file will not be backed up.

System Action: Processing stopped.

User Response: Add a valid backup copy group to the management class,
and then retry the operation.

Looks like there's some misconfiguration on your TSM server that needs to
be fixed.

Good luck,

I was getting the "41" error due to executing the following command:
db2 backup db <db> use tsm open 2 sessions with 4 buffers buffer 1024
parallelism 2
however, the management class that I was sending the backup to wasn't
configured correctly.

Zoe,

perhaps the number of allowed tape mounts is set to 1,
so you can backup db2 only with 1 session.

Ask your TSM Admin for this behavior.
