Instructor Preparation

Introduction
This section is a compilation of notes by the course developer to help others deliver IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Implementation and Aministration, Part One. It gives an

Classroom Setup Instructions
Follow the instructions on the Classroom Setup Guide on the Classroom Setup CD. Files
needed for backup exercises are on the Classroom Setup CD, as well.

PC Projection Unit
Much of the day is spent on a lengthy slide presentation delivered with a PC-based
projection unit. The make and operation of the projection system is apt to vary among
classrooms, but there are some common considerations that need to be taken into account.
First, the slides are best viewed on a typical 4’ x 4’ screen. This means arranging for the
projector to be a good distance from the screen, not on the instructor's podium where an
overhead project might belong. Most projectors have remote controls, so it is not necessary
to place it in reach of the instructor. (It behooves the instructor to get in some practice
operating the projector from the remote prior to class.)

Most projectors can be adjusted for different graphics resolutions and screen sizes. Some
experimentation prior to class may be required to get the best results. It is necessary to
project the entire area of the slide, since some utilize the whole frame.

Many projection systems cannot support video output to the projector and the PC monitor
at the same time. This means the instructor must be prepared to deliver the lecture without
turning around to look at the projection screen. This is best accomplished by working from
the Instructor’s Training Guide, which contains all the slides used in the lectures. The
Instructor Notes table has room for you personal comments and reminders for delivery.

Suggestions for Delivery

Audience
This course is intended for System Administrators and Implementers who will be
responsible for implementing an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 solution.

Required Skills/Knowledge
The following list contains the prerequisite knowledge or Tivoli product knowledge an
attendee must have prior to taking the course:

• All students should have a working knowledge of Internet browsers.

• All students should have a basic understanding of client-server concepts.

• For classes taught on a Windows platform, the students should have the skills to
navigate through Windows 2003 applications.

• For classes taught on a AIX platform, the students should have experience using
the AIX command-line interface, allocating file system space, and connecting
devices to an AIX server.

Demonstrations
Prompts for instructor demonstrations have been removed from the PowerPoint Slideshow
presentation. Suggested demonstrations are in the Instructor Notes, which are included on
the Instructor Resources CD.

The students will not be installing the Integrated Solutions Console (ISC) and
Administration Center, due to time constraints. The demonstration of the ISC and
Administration Center installation, as well as navigation demonstrations of the
Administration Center, would be very beneficial for the students.

Student Exercises
There are two Student Exercise Guides: Windows and AIX. These exercises have been
tested successfully, by a variety of Course Developers, on a variety of Windows 2003 and
AIX machines. If you are having a problem during course preparation testing or in the
classroom, please verify the hardware and software requirements in the Course Setup
Guide.

Altering the Flow of the Course
If you have a preferred delivery that differs from the design of the course, please ensure the
altered sequence meets the course and unit learning objectives. As you test the lab
exercises, you will note that some of the exercises depend on the previous exercise’s
successful completion. If you change the course flow, you will need to make adjustments
to the exercises.

At the end of the course, please have the students fill out the course evaluation.

Instructor Notes
The Instructor Notes table follows this document. A printable table of Instructor Notes is
also available on the Instructor Resources CD.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Implementation and Administration, Part One
Instructor Notes
Instructor Notes for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Implementation June, 2007
Location Topic Note
Preface This course is designed to give the students the
necessary skills to install and run TSM. Emphasize the
use of the Administration Center in the class, as it is the
preferred method of administering TSM (as requested by
Development and Support). In many cases there are
multiple methods or commands to perform the same
function. You can share additional methods with the
students.
Where applicable, demonstrate the Administration
Center.

Unit 1

1-1 Introduction This Overview includes the most basic elements of
Storage Manager. Assure students that more detailed
information will be provided as each subject is
addressed in upcoming units.

Instructor Notes

Unit 2 Topic Note

2-1 Introduction Emphasize the importance of carefully reviewing all of the
documentation material provided with the product before
beginning an installation. The course follows the suggested
installation flow: TSM Server, ISC, Administration Center.

2-5 TSM System SNMP DPI –You can configure the SNMP subagent to send traps
Requirements to an SNMP manager, such as NetView, and to provide support
for a management information base (MIB). For details about
configuring SNMP for use with Tivoli Storage Manager, see the
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide.
The subagent communicates with the snmpd daemon, which in
turn communicates with a management application. The snmpd
(R)
daemon must support the DPI protocol. Agents are available on
AIX . The subagent process is separate from the Tivoli Storage
Manager server process, but the subagent gets the information
from a server options file. When the SNMP management
application is enabled, it can get information and messages from
servers.

2-7 ISC Installation The students do not install the ISC or Administration Center in
their lab exercises, due to time constraints. There are scree
captures for the installation steps. Suggestion: Demonstrate the
installation of the ICS and Administration Center while
covering this unit.

2-16 Device Drivers- RSM services should be disabled. See Installation Guide.
Windows

2-37 Web Browser To determine JRE level, type java fullversion at OS prompt.

2-36 Student Let students know that the MMC is now partially functional.

Instructor Notes
2-43 Query System The query system command consolidates the output from a
number of query commands with a number of SQL SELECT
commands. The query commands can obtain detailed information
about specific areas of the server, while the SELECT statements
can produce summaries of certain key areas.
In many situations it is helpful to both the TSM administrator and
other support personnel to obtain an overview of the TSM
installation. This is addressed by the introduction of the query
system command.
Commands which can be issued by administrators with various
privileges are also presented; however, the detailed syntax is not
discussed.

The default TCP/IP port address is 1580.

Trivia: Program naming convention appears to be DSM=for product
code, formerly ADSM; ADM=for administrator; C=for command line.

Instructor Notes
3-32 Command Line Experience has shown that students get confused in lab exercises
with the differences between the Administrative command-line
interface and the backup-archive command-line client. It is
important that you make sure students understand the difference
between the command-line interfaces, DSMADMC for
administrative and DSMC for clients.

3-39 Administrator Refer to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide and
Authority the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator’s Reference for
complete lists of the commands and the list of tasks that the
different levels of TSM administrator privilege can perform.

3-47 Privilege There are two differences between what an administrator with
Classes restricted and unrestricted privilege can do:
• The unrestricted administrator can issue commands which affect
all domains and pools, whereas the restricted administrator can
only issue commands which affect the domain and pools to which
they are authorized.
• The unrestricted administrator can issue all policy and storage
commands, whereas the restricted administrator can only issue a
subset of those commands.

6-1 Introduction Begin to introduce the concept of having business requirements for
data management or service level agreement between the client
and TSM administration personnel in the IT organization.

6-10 Policy Set Created automatically when you use the Administration Center.

6-11 Defining MC Include-Exclude is covered in Unit 8.

6-14 Copy Group A copy group contains the parameters regarding how to manage
the data (objects) belonging to the client, how many versions of
backup to keep, and how long to keep the archive data.
Notice that you can specify zero, one or two copy groups in a
management class.
If a management class is defined with no copy groups, users will
receive warning messages if they choose to bind their files to this
management class. When bound to this management class, files
will never be backed up or archived. However, as a precautionary
measure, TSM is designed to cover this problem by using the grace
retention periods for backup and archive defined in the policy
domain.

6-23 Expiration, This chart is to be used to go through what happens as TSM is
Part 1 backing up a changed file every day. Use the letter A for active and
the letter I for inactive.
Notice on day 6, the file goes unchanged.
Go through the process for each day. If possible, project slides on a
writable surface. If not, draw the diagram on a writable surface.
On day 1 the file is changed or created. That evening it is backed
up. Ask the students if the file on TSM storage would be Active or
Inactive. Answer: Active.
Write the letter A under the box for backup 1 on day 1. Follow this
logic through to day 4. Write the letter I on all the extra versions.
Ask the students what happens on day 4 to backup version 1.
Answer: It will expire, since we are only keeping three versions of
the file.
Cross out the versions other than the first three on days 4, 5, and
6.

Instructor Notes
6-24 Expiration, This takes over where we left off in the previous slide. Fill in active
Part 2 and inactive under the boxes. You should have done this on the
board in the previous visual.
Ask the students why backup 1 on day 4 is gone. Answer: Because
we are keeping only three versions based on VERExist=3.
Notice that the file goes unchanged from day 5 on.
Ask the students what happens to extra backup 2 and 3 and on
what days. Answer: On day 33 extra backup 2 should expire. Fill in
active and inactive under the boxes. Cross it off the board and write
33 by the first ?.
Ask the students why, if we were keeping three versions, there is
only one left. Answer: Because retainextra is set to 30 and needs to
be no limit if you always want three versions. This is very important
emphasize.
Ask the students when the active backup will expire. Answer: It will
not expire.
Ask the students why backup 2 expired on day 33. Answer: It
became inactive on day 3 and you add 30 days based on
RETEXTRA=30.
Use a story about a resume being updated daily. Then on Day 5 no
more changes are made because the salary was doubled and the
person was given a car as a bonus.

6-25 Expiration, Complete the process by erasing the file on the morning of day 4.
Part 3 Ask the students what happens now. Answer: Backup 3 will go
inactive.
Mark it on the board with the letter I.
Ask the students how many extra copies will be there after the
incremental backup on day 4. Verdeleted is set to 1 so we lose
backups 2 and 1. Mark them out on the board.
Ask the students when the only backup will expire. Answer: Around
day 64. Retonly is set to 60.
Now, resume.doc is expired. The employee likes the new car and
decides to stay with the company, and no longer needs the resume.

6-31 Validate and Point out what happens when you activate a policy set. But first
Activate Policy review what a domain is.
Set Ask students what goes inside a domain. Answer: Policy sets.
Ask students what goes inside a policy set. Answer: Management
classes.
Ask students what goes inside management classes. Answer:
Copy groups.
With each answer write the name on the board in the visual in the
appropriate box that is policy set, management class, and copy
group.
Ask students what happens when you activate. Answer: TSM
makes a copy of the policy set, and names it ACTIVE. You cannot
change the active policy set. You can change only the one from
which it was activated.
Ask students what is the minimum number of policy sets you can
have in an active valid configuration. Answer: Two, the one you
defined, and the active one.

Unit 7 Topic Note
7-9 Recovery Log If the volumes are physically allocated on the same disk, it would
Space be best to allocate a single volume and optional mirrors to avoid
performance problems.
It is not advisable to use optical storage for the database or the
recovery log because of performance characteristics.

Increasing the recovery log size can increase the TSM server
start-up time.

7-13 Estimate Common practice is to set the recovery log size to the maximum.
Recovery Log An alternate method is qlog f=d, backup the database, reset
Size logconsumption.

7-13 Estimate In both normal mode and roll-forward mode, the volume of TSM
Recovery Log transactions affects how large you should make your recovery
Size log. As more clients are added and the volume of concurrent
transactions increases, you should extend the size of the log. In
roll-forward mode you must also consider how often you perform
database backups. In this mode, the recovery log keeps all
transactions since the last database backup and typically requires
significantly more space than is required in normal mode.

7-17 Creating Each time you define a new database or recovery log volume,
Additional you provide additional space to the database or recovery log. For
Volumes performance reasons, define more than one volume for the
database and recovery log, and place
these volumes on separate disks to allow simultaneous access to
different parts of the database or recovery log.
When possible, assign each database and recovery log volume to
separate disk strings, preferably on disks with different control
units and channels. To protect database and recovery log
volumes from media failure, you can use the mirroring feature. To
use disk space efficiently, allocate a few large disk volumes
rather than many small disk volumes. In this way, you avoid
losing space to TSM overhead processing.


11

Instructor Notes
7-19 Mirroring TSM provides non-disruptive and immediate recovery from
physical failures on database and recovery log volumes through
mirroring.
If a mirrored volume encounters a media failure, the server
automatically places the failing volume offline and continues
database operations using the mirrored copies. Once the failed
disk is replaced and made available to the server, it is
automatically synchronized with the intact copies.
The hardware dual copy could also be used to provide protection
from media failures. The advantage of using dual copy is faster
write performance because the server issues a single write and
the storage control asynchronously writes the additional copy.
With mirroring, multiple writes are issued at the same time.

Mirroring is not recommended with RAID 5, unless it is mirrored
to a separate RAID array.

7-19 Mirroring Database volume copies increase the availability of the database
and provide safeguards against media failure. You can have as
many as two volume copies of an existing database volume. After
each database volume copy is defined, the server attempts to
synchronize the volume copy with the database.
Recovery log volume copies increase the availability of the
recovery log and provide safeguards against media failure. You
can have as many as two volume copies of an existing recovery
log volume. After each recovery log volume copy is defined, the
server attempts to synchronize the volume copy with the recovery
log.

The 2-step process (dsmfmt and define) is not covered in order
to make the topic less confusing for beginning storage
administrators. You can include it if you want to.

7-23 The define If space trigger was set during installation, you can only modify it
spacetrigger using the command line.
command
Mention the define spacetrigger stg command and how it differs
from space triggers for the database and recovery log.

8-4 Command Line Refer to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator Reference
Guides for other platforms.

8-7 GUI Demonstrate navigation of backup-archive GUI.

8-16 Client Options The backup-archive client is enhanced to support backup and
restore of directories in a more intuitive and logical way.
If none of the options are used, both directories and files are
backed up or restored. The DIRSONLY and FILESONLY options
can only be specified on backup or restore commands using the
backup-archive command line client. The options cannot be put in
the client user options file (dsm.opt).

8-20 Graphical Options Defining a TSM client option set is a two-step process. First, the
Editor client option set is defined, and then, the options are defined to it.
A graphical options editor (available under Edit > Preferences) is
provided with the backup-archive GUI. The graphical options
editor makes the process of updating the TSM client options more
user friendly and less error prone.
The options editor groups the options in the following categories:
• General: Set general processing options for TSM such as
nodename and errorlog.
• Backup: Set backup processing options.
• Restore: Set restore processing options such as file
replace.
• Include-Exclude: Specify Include-Exclude processing
options.
• Scheduler: Specify processing options for scheduled
TSM work. For example, options that influence
scheduling services such as schedule mode and
schedule log file handling.
• Regional Settings: Set locale options for your client node.
• Authorization: Specify authorization options for your
client.
• Web Client: Specify processing options for your TSM
Web client.
• Command Line: Specify TSM command-line client
processing options.
• Diagnostic: Specify type of tracing to perform in the event
of a problem with your TSM client.
• Communication: Update TCP/IP communication options
such as TSM server name, TCP window and buffer sizes.
• Refer to the TSM Client Options chart.

Date

9-22 Restore The difference in No Query Restore and Classic Restore was
take from this class and put into the Part Two class, so as to not
overload the students. You might want to give a brief overview.

9-25 Point-in-Time A point-in-time restore recovers a file space or a directory to the
Restore state it had at a prior date and time. A point-in-time restore is
difficult to perform using the TODATE and TOTIME options with
the restore command.
A point-in-time restore is selected from the backup-archive GUI
by selecting a point-in-time date from the Restore window. Point-
in-time restores are started from the TSM backup-archive
command line by using the command-line options.

The use of point-in-time restore has a number of dependencies
and considerations.
Incremental backups performed using the Incremental by Date
method are not true incremental backups. A point-in-time restore
cannot be performed when this type of incremental backup is
used.
When performing a point-in-time restore, file filtering is done by
the TSM server as opposed to other restores where all the file
filtering is done by the TSM client. Having the TSM client server
doing the file filtering can potentially lead to reduced restore
times.
Copy group values with no limits such as VEREXIST and
VERDELETED can result in large numbers of backup copies
being maintained by the server. This is compounded in situations
where users can run multiple incremental backups a day. If such
values are to be used, use of the copygroup FREQUENCY
parameter, to control the interval between incremental backups,
should be considered.

10-26 Restoring The Ask the students where TSM will get the needed information to
Database restore the database if it is damaged and the VOLHISTORY and
DEVCONFIG files are not present. Answer: You would have to
know the volumes to mount in the correct order and you would
have to rebuild the device config file manually.

To restore the database to a specific point in time, use the
dsmserv restore db command. TSM restores the database as
follows:
• Reads the volume history file to locate the last regular backup
that occurred on or before the specified date and time.
• Using the device configuration file, requests a mount of the first
volume, which should contain the beginning of the regular
backup.
• Restores the backup data from the first volume.

10-28 Best Practices Ask the students if they would mirror the database or the
recovery log, if there was only space to mirror one. Answer:
Mirror the recovery log, since the database can be backed up.

10-34 Define A Copy Emphasize the importance of multiple copy storage pools
Storage Pool

10-36 Backup Storage Ask the students how many commands would have to be issued
Pool Hierarchy to back up the primary pool hierarchy for local media failure and
disaster recovery (both on-site and off-site). Answer: 4.
Ask the students to give the command to back up the storage
pool hierarchy from their TSM server in lab to a copy storage pool
named on-site. Answer:
backup stgpool backuppool on-site
backup stpool archivepool on-site

11-13 Additional Client Restart scheduler after resetting mode.
Polling Options

11-17 Randomization Use this scenario to show the alternative to randomizing.
There are 450 clients around the country that need to be backed
up. We could assign one person the task of coming up with 450
individual schedules to evenly spread the work over the six hour
window. Remember that randomizing does not evenly spread the
work around but randomly spreads the work around.
With 450 individual schedules we could start one backup at 1:00
and one at 1:06, and so on. We could even allow for the fact that
one node backs up faster than another and set the schedules’
start time appropriately. That would take a lot of administrative
work. A better approach would be to define ONE schedule for all
nodes. Set the start time to 01:00:00.
Write that in the STARTTIME box.
Tell the students that our current TSM server MAXSESSIONS it
set to 100.
Write that in the box. MAXSCHEDULED SESSIONS is set to
80%.
Write that in the box.
Ask the students how many schedules will start at 01:00. Answer:
80.
Ask the class what will happen when one of the 80 schedules is
completed. Answer: Another will start.
Ask the class when the TSM server will stop starting new
schedules. Answer: When all schedules have run or the startup
window is past.
Ask the class what if in the morning we find that there are some
schedules that did not run, but we had network and server
resources available? Answer: We can adjust MAXSESSIONS or
MAXSCHEDULE SESSIONS up.
Ask the class what if the reverse was true. Answer: Lower those
values. This can be a big advantage to server prompted
scheduling. We can adjust the amount of work and not have to
rewrite schedules.

11-18 Defining Ask the class what happens if a client is associated with two
Schedules schedules that have the same startup time. Answer: TSM
provides a way of prioritizing schedules so that the more critical
scheduled operation is completed first by the client.

11-37 Command Line to Demonstrate how to set up a client backup at 21:00
Query Schedule (9:00 p.m.) every night.

Unit 12 Topic Note

12-8 Event Receiving Client messages eligible for sending to the server are formatted
as client events. This ensures that all client events have a
common format.

12-9 Event Filtering Before client events can be passed to the server they have to be
enabled at the server. The enable event command has been
added to manage central logging and monitoring. It enables
logging of client and server events.

12-15 Enabling Client One of the main goals when designing the central logging
Events function is to provide an efficient solution. Only a set of client
messages are logged as events to the server.

12-17 Storing Client Client events can be disabled for the activity log. Show
Events in the command:
Activity Log disable events actlog info node=<nodename>

12-25 Operational If time permits, have the students perform an optional exercise on
Reporting installation and configuration of Operational Reporting. Use the
Optional Installing Operational Reporting.pdf, file, and excerpt from the
Windows Exercise IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 Administration Guide, located on
the Instructor and Student Resources CDs.
