DB6 backup to tape

I'm new to DB6. We have just migrated our SAP ECC6 sytem from Oracle 10.2 to DB2 v9.1(FP3).
If I try to backup to tape, I get the following message whether the tape is blank or not:
sapdev:db2hsd 4> db2 backup database HSD online to /dev/rmt0.1
SQL2031W  Warning! Please mount the target or source media on device
"/dev/rmt0.1".
Do you want to continue(c), terminate this device only(d), abort the utility(t) ? (c/d/t) c
SQL2059W  A device full warning was encountered on device "/dev/rmt0.1".
Do you want to continue(c), terminate this device only(d), abort the utility(t) ? (c/d/t)
If I backup to disk I have no problem.If I look @ db2diag.log, I see the following information:
2008-08-08-13.10.38.537853+120 E7613028A695       LEVEL: Error

EINVAL from write() does not mean a real disk full condition.
Possible reasons :
1. Invalid parameters to the API.
2. The file size / offset specified is > 2G but the file system

The sytem is definitely seeing the tape drive, because if I use the following command, it works:
db2tapemgr DB HSP DOUBLE STORE ON /dev/rmt0.1 FORCE
My one concern, with the above command is that I have to use the force option.
When the system was still on Oracle, we used brbackup and brarchive without a problem.
Is there something else I need to configure to see the tape drive "properly"?

Hello Jean-Jacques,
There is a restriction on the number of fixed block sizes that can be used when backing up. This restriction exists because DB2 writes out the backup image header as a 4-KB block. The only fixed block sizes DB2 supports are 512, 1024, 2048, and 4096 bytes. If you are using a fixed block size, you can specify any backup buffer size. However, you might find that your backup operation will not complete successfully if the fixed block size is not one of the sizes that DB2 supports:
[http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/c0006201.htm]
There is a SAP DBA Guide: DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows on SAP Marketplace (Installation & Upgrade Guides -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 2004s (if this is your system's version) -> Operations, then choose Database-Specific Guides -> "SAP DBA Guide: DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows", which has extensive session on how to setup your tape drives to work with db2 backup. 
As well, you can check out OSS Note 141872 that talks about a similar problem.
I hope it helps.

  • Problem with backups on Tape

    Could you help me ,I have a problem with backups on tape drive .The error which Windows throws is "BackupTapeFile::UnloadTape: PrepareTape(UNLOCK) failure on backup device '\\.\tape0'. Operating system error 21(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105)."
    Does anyone of you have the same problem.Thank you!

    You cannot perform a regular restore/recovery (up to the latest possible point in time), because at this time dropped tablespace is not known to the controlfiles/recocery catalog and therefore not known to RMAN,too. You have to 2 possibilities:
    1. Restore the entire database and recover back in time to before the tablespace is dropped.
    This will cause ALL data within the database to go back in time, not just this tablespace.
    2. Clone the target database to a new location, perform point in time recovery in order to export
    the data of the tablespace for import into the original database. This causes the data of this
    tablespace to be brought back into the production database, not effecting existing (current) data
    in any other area of the database.
    As you can see recovering from a dropped tablespace needs some additional efforts. By the way you also cannot use RMAN's TSPITR functionality.

  • Backup to tape failed in DPM 2012

    I am new to DPM.
    We have configured a protection group for short term goal with 7 days retention range, Synchronization frequency 6 hours. And recovery points are based on synchronization (means 4 Recovery points per day and DPM will have 28 valid restore points after a
    week...!!??). In long term goals we have configured 2 recovery goals to tape ...  1 recovery point per week on saturday (retention 4 weeks) and 1 recovery point per month (on day 1 with retention range of 1 month).
    Now Im getting PG status "backup to Tape failed" I want to know the process how DPM will check and verify recovery points on disk before writing them to tape.
    Based on my protection group settings, there should be 4 recovery points on disk everyday. but there is something different result...see the below in reply.
    My queries are:
    1) On Saturday weekly tape job, does it require DPM to have valid 28 Recovery points?? What happen if any RP missing.
    2) Due to some issues, if weekely tape backup failed on saturday. Can we resume it on monday,tuesday..with corrective actions??
    3) the DPM process of verifying disk based recovery points before writing them to tape.

    Hi,
    <New questions Snip<
    Q1) For file/volume protection, synchronization is not RP. We have to configure RP creation time manually.
    A1)  Correct, file synchronizations are not recoverable, only "recovery points" are recoverable.
    Q2) For application's (SQL,EXCH,SHAREPOINT) recovery points each synchronization job will create a RP as per synchronization frequency. 
    A2)  Yes, for applications like SQL and Exchange that support incremental backups, then incremental synchronizations are recoverable.
    Q3) If a tape backup is getting failed due to invalid RP on disk, I am creating a manual RP with Express full backup(for databases) and a RP with Incremental(for file/volume share), then resuming tape backup. Is it correct way to do this?
    A3) Yes, A manual Express full for application data or a manual recover point with synchronization for file / share data and that should allow you to manually create a new tape based backup from the alert.
    Q4)How to enable the verify option to check the integrity of the tape backup?
    A4) Simply modify the PG that has tape based protection and while on the "Select Library and tape Details" page, select the option "check backup for data integrity (time consuming operation)". 
    Q5) And what is Co-Location..!!
    A5) Tape co-location allows data from different protection groups to be written to the same tape.  You need to make a tape protection group set using the "Optimize usage" feature under the management - Libraries page of the DPM console.
    See the following TechNet pages.
    Tape Optimization Setup - Create-Modify Protection Group Set

  • Oracle 10g new feature to backup to tape?

    I heard rumours that Oracle 10g has new features to backup to tape directly. I don't know exactly how this is done, and I'd like the experts to comment. What I've discovered so far is that there is this program called Legato Single Server Version (LSSV) which ships with the Oracle 10g Companion CD which makes RMAN use the tape directly as a medium to backup. Is this CD available for download?

    I am truly curious why you actively ask to avoid the "New Features Guide" which provides much of the information you desire.

  • Backup to Tape ; Some Design questions

    Version : We have DBs on 10.2, 11.2 Enterprise Edition
    Platform: Solaris 5.10 SPARC
    Helloo..
    Never worked on Tape before. Currently , all our RMAN Backup Pieces are going to Disk and from there Sysadmin moves it to the tape using TSM.
    1. If you were to design a Backup strategy, would you backup to Disk first and then get the Sysadmin to
    copy to Tape OR backup directly to Tape?
    2. Do you guys backup Level_0 backup on TapeA , Level_1 backups on Tape B
    and Archivelogs, Control file , Spfile on TapeC
    3. RMAN Backup to Disk or Tape; Which is faster?

    1. Best practice directly to tape
    Adv: a. Longer retention inexpensive. separate tapes for weekly, monthly and yearly rotation.
    b. Can compress
    c. Inexpensive for VLDB.
    DisAdv: a. Needs Tape vendor (MML) license to directly write to tape.
    b. Storing tapes and tape maintenance.
    c. Slow process
    Writing directly to Disks
    Adv:a. For smaller databases with less retention.
    b. Faster backups locally
    c. Faster restores.
    DisAdv:a.Media failure
    b.Does not work for VLDB
    2. Its expensive to separate tape drives as they come in big sizes.Have maxsetsize or section size set to few GBs for faster read to restore. RMAN can easily identify the files it needs for recovery and the storage vendor have the catalogs that helps. You can separate tapes for permanent retention. Deleting the obsolete backups is messy as you have to load the right tape, operational difficulties.
    3. Refer #1.

  • A script that will query for the last successful backup to tape across all protected datasources

    I've searched trying to locate an existing script for this and come up empty so far but essentially what I am trying to do is have a script I can run that will query for the latest backup to tape that succeeded for each data source across all of the protection
    groups then output that time/date for each to a file.
    I'm extremely new to scripting so I am unsure of how to go about getting started with this so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    this should work
    foreach ($DS in $DSList)
    $RP=$DS | Get-RecoveryPoint | where {$_.Location -eq "Media"} | Sort-Object -Property Backuptime -Descending | select -First 1 | select *
    $Tape=Get-DPMTape -DPMLibrary $Library | where {$_.ID -eq $Rp.RecoverySourceLocations.MediaMapList.MediaId}
    $obj = New-Object -TypeName PSObject
    $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty -Name DatasourceName -value $DS.Name
    $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty -Name Sourcecomputer -value $DS.Computer
    $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty -Name BackupTime -value $RP.BackupTime
    #$obj | Add-Member Noteproperty -Name Location -value $Tape.Location.tostring()
    #$obj | Add-Member Noteproperty -Name Medialabel -value $Tape.Medialabel
    #$obj | Add-Member Noteproperty -Name Barcode -value $Tape.Barcode.Value
    $Array+=$obj

  • Snapshot rollup with Long term backup to Tape

    I need to reconfigure the short term disk storage, and wanted to know if I create a Long Term backup to tape, does that
    store or encompass all the "snapshot/short term" backups that I have on disk?
    If so, I will be able to remove all my disk backups, reconfigure it as needed, and re-enable the short term backups without losing any of my historical backups. (For Legal reasons)
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    No, Long term to tape are also "point in time" backups and if started now will only contain new recovery points. The ability to make backups of previous recovery points is not very easy, you basically need to restore a disk based RP to tape, unfortunately,
    every restored recovery point to tape requires a separate tape.

  • Rman Backup in Tape - Restore

    Hi All,
    This's my scenario.
    I am using oracle 10gR2 on solaris 10. I configured Rman for my database. I ran the backup command on monday and again tuesday and again today also.
    All backups are stored in tape not disk. now I have a problem, so I want to restore the Monday backup from tape.
    How to tell these to Rman. If I simply mentioned the restore command, hope Rman will restore the latest backup. But I want to restore the Monday Backup.
    Could you anyone help me on this..
    Many Thanks
    Senthil

    when ever you are recovering the database to certain time,certain scn then it is a incomplete recovery only.
    after completing the recovery by specifying until time or until SCN oracle will not allow you to open the database.
    It will ask you to open the database in resetlog mode.
    The step which admin given is correct one but after that you have to open the db in resetlog mode
