Hello Guys,

I have prepare a policy as per client request but confused on how to achieve this. I am attached the policy details.

I have created domain gendom and policy genps and management class backup0007 and which has 7 days retention and associated with stgpool called DYGENLTOPP01 which is working fine and backup is happening at the same time SQL DB backup from tdp i have domain sqldom, policy sqlps and management class backup0007 that also has a 7 days retention and associated with stgpool called DYGENLTOPP01 which is working fine means backup is working, now I have 2 other management class for file level backup for all server and TDP backup for sql which is called BACKUP0031, BACKUP0366 and subsequently associated with respective stgpool  WKGENLTOPP01, MNGENLTOPP01 that has one month and a year retention.

Now I have things my mind how to use other management class so that respective copy group can be used.

1. one thing i can do it is bind the other management class in below way in the opt file.

NODENAME         dcprbkpsrv01_wk

2. Command which will run at the time of schedule.

dsmc incr -absolute C:\* -su=yes -optfile="C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm-weekly.opt" >> weekly.log
exit %RC%

3. to create a new scheduler service for diffrent node.

I want to know your view is there any other way to achieve this, and second since I have domain is same which is associated with management class that has 7 days retention, if i do in that way other management class and respective copygrooup retention will active while backup.

Thanks

Prem

This is what I am getting, please advise.

ANR1557W The space management migration destination in management class BACKUP0031 does not refer to a defined storage pool: SPACEMGPOOL.  If this pool does
not exist when policy set GENPS is activated, clients will fail when using this management class to migrate space-managed files to the server.
ANR1557W The space management migration destination in management class BACKUP0366 does not refer to a defined storage pool: SPACEMGPOOL.  If this pool does
not exist when policy set GENPS is activated, clients will fail when using this management class to migrate space-managed files to the server.

Thanks

Prem

after activating other management class my defmgmtclass backup also failing in sort all the backup is failing and throwing error server out of storage space in log file under baclient no error reporting on actlog.

Can anyone tell me what should I check because when i am deleting backup0031, backup0366 mgmtclass and corresponding copygroup and when only backup0007 mgmtclass is active backup works fine, not able to understand where I am going wrong.

Thanks

Prem

Hi Prem,

Did you activate your new policy?

Try this

select domain_name,destination from bu_copygroups

Then you can see where each domain writes.

If  spacemgpool is not used; remove it.

Hi Ivor,

Thanks for the response yes i activated and removed and mention the correct stgpool but still backup is failing with error code 12 and when i am checking on log system state backup shows completed on actlog and log file under baclient.

First, you need to solve this issue: ANS1329S Server out of data storage space

Please check Database and Recovery Log

Hi Pablo,

Thank you for the response, I am little late to update on that it is solved now just wanted to update all that was my silly mistake and lesson to all I was activating one by remaining 2 mgmtclass result is that it got activated but no defmgmt class is activated that is why backup is failing for all mgmtclass with that error anyways thanks to all.

Now problem is below is the parameter for opt file which I am using and attaching the batch file as well which is invoking the backup but now backup is happening but moving into defmgmtclass which is backup0007.

when I am trying to invoke the backup manually it is mounting the tape which belong to daily stgpool

please advise what else i can check.

Thanks

Prem

Hi Guys,

Any suggestion what else I should check and if any correction required on .opt pipe which I pointed for management class pls advise. Backup is going on default management class.

Thanks

Prem

Guys, I am stuck any early suggestion/solution will help me to going further .

Thanks

Prem

Hi Prem

Your OPT file needs an inlcude statement for the customer management class.

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGSG7_6.4.0/com.ibm.itsm.client.doc/r_opt_include.html

e.g.

Sorry, your path may need to be more explicit:

incl c:\*...\* <mgmtclass>

Hi Ivor,

Thank you for the pipe detail, I tried that still backup is triggering into defmgmtclass, additionally now backup started failing for few server with the error code ans1999e when I googled this so many views there few of them tried but no luck.

Thanks

Prem

Hi,

I have use this after that i can see it is recognizing the opt and managementclass but as soon as i trigger the backup it is failing with this error code.

As of now I am attempting to backup on dcprbkpsrv01 node from GUI I attempted to backup around 6 gb data after deleting other mgmtclass and copygroup, backup  started happening that means I am doing something wrong while defining mgmtclass and copygroup. I am using this pls advise if anything wrong I am doing.

def mgmt gendom genps backup0031

def mgmt gendom genps backup0366

def copy gendom genps backup0031 destination=WKGENLTOPP01 VerDeleted=nolimit VerExist=nolimit, RetExtra=31 RetOnly=31

def copy gendom genps backup0031 destination=MNGENLTOP01 VerDeleted=nolimit VerExist=nolimit, RetExtra=366 RetOnly=366

after that i am running below command to activate policy set so that i can use newly created mgmtclass in use.

act pol gendom genps

Thanks

Prem

Guys,

any suggestion.

Thanks

Prem

Do your commands complete without error when you define the mgmt class and copygroup?

If so, then when you do your backup, you node OPT file must have an include for your new management class

yes it is and when I binding the mgmgtclass on Opt it triggers the backup and start system state backup and when it is started volumes file level backup it got failed stating that server out of storage but i was closely monitoring it when i define copygroup and put destination stgpool which is WKGENLTOPP01 when i see from q mgmt gendom i can see that it shows spacemigration pool then i manually update migdesntaion=WKGENLTOPP01 after that i activate the pol i do not see any error. but backup fails always.

Thanks

Prem
