IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) COMMANDS

Prepared by Shiva

TSM server software will be started automatically when the system comes up using following entry in /etc/inittab
autosrvr:2:once:/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.adsmserv >/dev/console 2>&1 #Start the Tivoli Storage Manager server

To start the tsm server software manually

# cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin # nohup ./rc.adsmserv &

To check whether the tsm server software is started or not

# ps -ef |grep dsmserv |grep -v grep root 20132 13416 0 13:06:44 pts/0 0:00 ksh ./rc.adsmserv root 22116 20132 0 13:06:44 pts/0 0:01 dsmserv quiet # netstat -a |egrep "1500|1510|1580" tcp4 0 0 *.1510 *.* tcp4 0 0 *.1580 *.* tcp4 0 0 *.1500 *.*

LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN

Note : In TSM 5.3, port 1580 will not be listening. In AIX 5.3, default you need to issue "grep" for port names instead of numbers since above ports have entry in /etc/services. Check /etc/services for port names.

In case tsm server does not come up, you can start the same for debugging purpose like
# cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin

# ./dsmserv

Each tape has to be labeled once before using in tsm

tsm: TSMSERV> label libvol 3584lib1 tape001 tsm: TSMSERV> label libvol 3584lib1 search=bulk labelsource=barcode For label and checkin the tapes tsm: TSMSERV> label libvol 3584lib1 search=bulk labelsource=barcode checkin=scr tsm: TSMSERV> label libvol 3584lib1 search=bulk labelsource=prompt checkin=scr Note : The above are background commands which require input from user, so use "q req" and reply the request using "reply <request ID>"

-> "Bulk" in tsm represent the input / output port of the library hardware.

To check the physical tapes in library as per tsm

tsm: TSMSERV> q libvol

Checking the tape into library

All tapes used with tsm needs to be put inside library using tsm "checkin" command. Do not insert the tapes directly using operator panel of library or device driver provided utilities. tsm: TSMSERV> checkin libvol 3584lib1 tape001 tsm: TSMSERV> checkin libvol 3584lib1 search=bulk status=scr tsm: TSMSERV> checkin libvol 3584lib1 search=bulk status=scr checklabel=barcode

For checkin of tapes with data tsm: TSMSERV> checkin libvol 3584lib1 search=bulk status=pri checklabel=barcode

Note : The above are background commands which require input from user, so use "q req" and reply the request using "reply <request ID>"

"BULK" in tsm represent the input / output port of the library hardware. "SCR" stands for scratch "PRI" stands for private

Checking the tape out of the library

All tapes physically inside the library has be removed using tsm "checkout" command. Do not remove the tapes directly using operator panel of library or device driver provided utilities. tsm: TSMSERV> checkout libvol 3584lib1 tape001 tsm: TSMSERV> checkout libvol 3584lib1 tape001 checklabel=no

Auditing the tsm's tape inventory with that of physical library

tsm: TSMSERV> audit libr 3584lib1 ANS8003I Process number 15 started. tsm: TSMSERV> audit libr 3584lib1 checklabel=barcode ANS8003I Process number 16 started. "Audit libr" will update tape positions (element address) if found changed inside the library. If tape found removed inside the library, info about the same will be removed from database. However it will not add info, if any new tape found inside library.

Listing configured tape drives

tsm: TSMSERV> q drive

Changing status of drives

tsm: TSMSERV> update drive 3584lib1 drive1 online=yes

Listing drive mount status

tsm: TSMSERV> q mount

To dismount volumes from drive manually

tsm: TSMSERV> dismount vol a00002 Note : Tapes in use cannot be dismounted

Listing of configured paths

tsm: TSMSERV> q path To list the paths specific pertaining to specific server tsm: TSMSERV> q path tsmserv

To update the status of paths

tsm: TSMSERV> update path tsmserv drive1 srctype=server desttype=drive libr=3584lib1 online=yes

To list disaster recovery volumes

tsm: TSMSERV> q drmedia To list only DR tapes in library tsm: TSMSERV> q drmedia wherestate=mountable To list only DR tapes in offsite tsm: TSMSERV> q drmedia wherestate=vault To list only DR tape in offsite (scratch) eligible for recycling tsm: TSMSERV> q drmedia wherestate=vaultret

Moving DR volumes / changing status of DR volumes

To move the volumes in library to offsite tsm: TSMSERV> move drmedia * wherestate=mountable tostate=vault remove=bulk To move the scratch volumes in offsite to onsite tsm: TSMSERV> move drmedia * wherestate=vaultret tostate=onsiteret Issue above command only after getting the volumes in hand. After that use normal "checkin libvol" command to checkin the tapes as scratch.
