Legato Storage Manager problem

Hi,
I do very well backup of a database on tapes using Legato Storage Manager and RMAN. I use 4 tapes on 40 G. Tha backup use 35G from each tape. In Legato Storage Manager at the Media, then Devices, then Media Type is selected dlt. I can select dlt or dlt7000 or other option.
I want to use few tapes so I want to do backup using tapes HP DLT 80G. The backup bahaves like in the previous case, after 35 G of backup requests a new tape even the tape has 80 G.
Do you know what I need to select at the option Media Type in Legato Storage Manager ? or how to do to use tapes of 80 G?
Thank you,
Mihaela

Stephen,
You have two options:
1) If Legato is not installed on you machine,
then Oracle installer install LSM - limited version of Legato Networker. It is limited to 4 channels, requires tape drive to be directly connected to your machine, does not support autochangers (jukeboxes), etc.
It is included in Oracle installation,
you don't need a separate license.
2) You can buy 2 products from Legato - Legato Networker and Legato Module for Oracle. Install Legato client first, then Oracle - Oracle installer detects that legato is already installed and does not attempt to install it again. Then link Oracle and Legato.

Rman backup to tape (legato storage manager)

hi
currently i am try to use direct backup of my database to tape by rman.
but rman can't directly move oracle data into tape
it require 3rd party tool like
legato storage manager.
so my question is
1.how we can install LSM.
2.Is it avaliable on oracle rel 2 cd or not.
3.how we can config it.
4.any other tool is avaliable for this(for backup ->tape)

Hemant.....
According to the link which you have provided explains that
there must be a file libobk.so, ext might differ, but in my sun box there is no such file and
$ ls libo*
libocci.so        libocijdbcst9.a   libolapapi9.so    libordim9.so
libocci.so.9.0    libocr.so         liboraawt.so      libordimt9.a

libocijdbc9_g.so libodmd9.so       libordim9.a
$another thing is that
what is NSR_GROUP,NSR_SERVER >
$ echo $NSR_SERVER
$ echo $NSR_GROUP
it is not dispalying anything in the oracle env

Problems installing/configuration Legato Storage Manager / 8i

I have installed Oracle 8i (8.1.7) on a Windows NT 4.0 EE platform.
For backups we use OEM and LSM.
When I insert a tape to backup my database, LSM will put this backup after the backup which is allready on tape.
For the backup we use 5 tapes (mo, tu, we, th, sa).
The tapes will rotate every week.
How can I make LSM to start the backup at the begin of the tape and not after the backup of the week before.
I think that's a very simple parameter within Legato, but which one??
If you have the solution, please let me know.

Thanks,but we solved it..JBoss ,running as a service on Windows 2003 server, tried to log on (with the credentials of the one that installed Office) but the service didn't have the right to do it..So it failed to start..If you change the rights for services from secpol.msc everything goes well..

Legato Storage Manager question

Hi,
i want to ask whether the LSM is a separate
component outside the o8i server ??
If so , where can i get the price info.
If it is included in o8i server, how can i install it ???
Thanks
Stephen

Where can i get a trial version of Legato Storage Manager

Hi Oracle expert,
We like to evaluate LSM suggested in Rman document. Is it included in Oracle9i CD for development? If not, where can we get a trial version of it?

You need to be a partner or you will have to get it from a partner.
Also if your already a customer you may get it from the customer service market place.
You dont have to have access to the service market place in order to have access to the SDN forums.
Please contact your nearest SAP partner or drop an email/webmail to SAP in the address I gave you before so that I partner can contact you.

Intel Matrix Storage Manager disables Windows Update and Windows Validation on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad R61 8918CTO on which I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) on a new Seagate Momentus XT 750GB drive. The installation was trouble-free, as were all of the post-install Windows Updates.
Then I installed ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and used it to install most of the available Lenovo updates. Big mistake. I'll spare you a detailed account of the hours I wasted troubleshooting, rolling back to previous restore points, and doing more troubleshooting, but it turns out that installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver v. 8.9.2.1002 caused Windows Update and Windows Validation to fail.
Symptoms: Windows Update control panel can't check for updates and reports that the Windows Update service isn't running when it actually is. Online Windows Validation fails and the standalone Windows Validation utility won't install. Microsoft programs that require a validated copy of Windows (e.g., Microsoft Security Essentials) won't install.
Solution: Roll back the driver for the relevant SATA controller to the previous driver.
I've reinstalled ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and hidden the proposed Intel Matrix Storage Manager update; since then, I've used it to complete my Lenovo updates without issue.
I hope this post will help other people with this problem find the solution a lot faster than it took me!

This happened after installing a new advanced format drive with 4k-byte sectors, I'd guess. If the storage driver doesn't report the physical sector size to Windows, update fails.
I just ran across this myself (again) putting Win 7 on a T400.
I don't know why this is still going on. It may be that the update lists for older machines still have pre-AF-drive drivers listed.
FYI, another fix is going to the Intel site and installing the latest Matrix Storage Manager AHCI driver. This may be more desirable than rolling back to an older driver in some cases.

Oracle's 10gR2 Automated Storage Management implementation on CentOS 4.1

Actually there are several nice articles on Oracle Technical Network
devoted to the same topic. Whats new may be said ?
The target of message is to highlight the optimal sequence of steps
required to bring Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) ASM-database up on CentOS4.1 , placing ASM instance and serviced databases in different Oracle Homes.
Oracleasm library install is done immediately after creating "oracle"
linux account and "dba" group to be ready for ASM Instance creating during
the first Installer run supposed to build it. ASM instance for disks and disks
group management is created the first by Installer along with the disks group
for database supposed to be built during the second run of Installer and to be
placed into recently created disks group.
I. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and ASMLib 2.0 I/O.
1.Install CentOS 4.1
2.Run as root:
# groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
# groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
# useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
# mkdir -p /u02/oradata/wtfdata
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
OTN instruction:-
Before installing Automatic Storage Management, it is recommended that you install the optional add-on Automatic Storage Management support library, ASMLib. ASMLib is an application program interface (API) Oracle that is aimed at simplifying the interface between the operating system and the database, and to exploit the capabilities and strengths of storage arrays provided by different vendors.ASMLib provides an alternative interface for the Automatic Storage Management-enabled kernel to discover and access block devices. It provides storage and operating system vendors the opportunity to supply extended storage-related features. These features provide benefits such as improved performance and greater data integrity.
OTN instruction ends.
3.To install ASMLIB 2.0 run as root:-
# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.9-11.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
oracleasmlib-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm \
oracleasm-support-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Now you get /etc/init.d/oracleasm ready to go.
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver:-
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface [dba]: dba
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [ OK ]
Scanning system for ASM disks: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm enable
Create ASM disks as desired utilizing command:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VLM0X /dev/sdx
Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login, /etc/profile.
and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
OTN instructions:-
Its recommended that you install Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home, regardless of whether you plan to only have one or multiple database instances.Installing Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home helps ensure higher availability and manageability.
With separate Oracle homes, you can upgrade Automatic Storage Management and databases independently, and you can remove database software without impacting the Automatic Storage Management instance. Ensure that the Automatic Storage Management version is the same or later than the Oracle Database version.If an Automatic Storage Management installation does not already exist and you select the Oracle Universal Installer option to install and configure Automatic Storage Management only, then Oracle Universal Installer installs Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home.
OTN instruction ends.
Select " Advanced installation" and
create ASM instance in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
Create disk group during this run .
Exit installer.
$ ./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed into existing disk's group
in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_2 .
Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.

II. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and Standard Linux I/O.
This method creates Oracle database files on raw character devices managed by ASM
using standard Linux I/O system calls.It requires to create RAW devices for all
disk partitions used by ASM.
1.Install CentOS 4.1
2.Run as root:
# groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
# groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
# useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
# mkdir -p /u02/oradata/data
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
Just as an example create 4 partitions:
/dev/hda6,/dev/hdc6 5 GB each one
/dev/hda7,/dev/hdc7 3 GB each one
Create raw devices modifying file /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices as follows:
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/hda6
/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/hdc6
/dev/raw/raw3 /dev/hda7
/dev/raw/raw4 /dev/hdc7
Put in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw*
chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw*
I was experiencing problems with loosing "oracle:dba" permissions after Linux
reboot. Oracle's raw device came up with "root:disk" ownership after reboot.
Restart Linux
Run as root:-
# service rawdevices restart
Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login,
/etc/profile and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and
create ASM instance in ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/asm
During this run create diskgroup RAWDATA1 with normal redundancy
mirroring /dev/raw/raw1 and /dev/raw/raw2.
You should be fine with discovering raw devices if permissions are in place (oracle:dba)
Exit installer.
Export ORACLE_HOME for ASM instance and corresponding PATH.
Then run "dbca" to create diskgroup RAWDATA2 with
normal redundancy mirroring /dev/raw/raw3 and /dev/raw/raw4
$ ./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed RAWDATA1 diskgroup
in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.
Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.

Install described above was done with different Oracle Homes
for ASM instance and ASM-database.
To put ASM instance and ASM-database in same Oracle Home.
Start runInstaller just once to build all stuff at a time.
Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
Select " Advanced option" and install "Software only"
in ORACLE_HOME - /u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.
Modify oracle's .bash_profile:-
export ORACLE_HOME and new PATH.
Source new .bash_profile:-
$. ~oracle/.bash_profile
$dbca
During this run the request to start CRS daemons by root will come up.
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add

II. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and Standard Linux I/O.
This method creates Oracle database files on raw character devices managed by ASM using standard Linux I/O system calls.It requires to create RAW devices for all disk partitions used by ASM.
1.Install CentOS 4.1
2.Run as root:
# groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
# groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
# useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
# mkdir -p /u02/oradata/data
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
Just as an example create 4 partitions:
/dev/hda6,/dev/hdc6 5 GB each one
/dev/hda7,/dev/hdc7 3 GB each one
Create raw devices modifying file /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices as follows:
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/hda6
/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/hdc6
/dev/raw/raw3 /dev/hda7
/dev/raw/raw4 /dev/hdc7
Put in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
chown oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw*
chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw*
I was experiencing problems with loosing "oracle:dba" permissions after Linux
reboot. Oracle's raw device came up with "root:disk" ownership after reboot.
Restart Linux
Run as root:-
# service rawdevices restart
Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login,
/etc/profile and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and
create ASM instance in ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/asm
During this run create diskgroup RAWDATA1 with normal redundancy
mirroring /dev/raw/raw1 and /dev/raw/raw2.
You should be fine with discovering raw devices if permissions are in place (oracle:dba)
Exit installer.
Export ORACLE_HOME for ASM instance and corresponding PATH.
Then run "dbca" to create diskgroup RAWDATA2 with
normal redundancy mirroring /dev/raw/raw3 and /dev/raw/raw4
$ ./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed RAWDATA1 diskgroup
in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.

Actually there are several nice articles on Oracle Technical Network devoted to the same topic. Whats new may be said ?
The target of this message is to highlight the optimal sequence of steps required to bring Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) ASM-database up on CentOS4.1 , placing ASM instance and serviced databases in different Oracle Homes.Oracleasm library install is done immediately after creating "oracle" linux account and "dba" group to be ready for ASM Instance creating during the first Installer run supposed to build it. ASM instance for disks and disks group management is created the first by Installer along with the disks group for database supposed to be built during the second run of Installer and to be placed into recently created disks group.
I. Oracle 10gR2 ASM and ASMLib 2.0 I/O.
1.Install CentOS 4.1
2.Run as root:
# groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
# groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
# useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
# mkdir -p /u02/oradata/wtfdata
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
OTN instruction:-
Before installing Automatic Storage Management, it is recommended that you install the optional add-on Automatic Storage Management support library, ASMLib. ASMLib is an application program interface (API) Oracle that is aimed at simplifying the interface between the operating system and the database, and to exploit the capabilities and strengths of storage arrays provided by different vendors ASMLib provides an alternative interface for the Automatic Storage Management-enabled kernel to discover and access block devices. It provides storage and operating system vendors the opportunity to supply extended storage-related features. These features provide benefits such as improved performance and greater data integrity.
OTN instruction ends.
3.To install ASMLIB 2.0 run as root:-
# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.9-11.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
oracleasmlib-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm \
oracleasm-support-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Now you get /etc/init.d/oracleasm ready to go.
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver:-
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface [dba]: dba
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [ OK ]
Scanning system for ASM disks: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm enable
Create ASM disks as desired utilizing command:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VLM0X /dev/sdx
Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login, /etc/profile.
and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
OTN instructions:-
Its recommended that you install Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home, regardless of whether you plan to only have one or multiple database instances.Installing Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home helps ensure higher availability and manageability.With separate Oracle homes, you can upgrade Automatic Storage Management and databases independently, and you can remove database software without impacting the Automatic Storage Management instance. Ensure that the Automatic Storage Management version is the same or later than the Oracle Database version.If an Automatic Storage Management installation does not already exist and you select the Oracle Universal Installer option to install and configure Automatic Storage Management only, then Oracle Universal Installer installs Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home.
OTN instruction ends.
Select " Advanced installation" and
create ASM instance in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
Create disk group during this run .
Exit installer.
$ ./runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed into existing disk's group in $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_2 .
Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.
Next:-
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.

Oracle Suggested Backup, to tape only - Tivoli Storage Manager

I´ve been asked to cancel future backups to disk and to setup oracle´s suggested backup to the tape device only (which underwater is the tdpo from Tivoli´s storage manager).
This way the expensive disks can be freed from recovery data.
I´ve had my share of problems with the tdpo, but besides the problem of this gateway driver between RMAN and TSM I would like to know if this is best for the whole suggested backup strategy.
Somehow I´m not convinced in backing up to "tape" devices only; for it is slower than local disks, and because we had problems before with the driver, but there may be a lot more reasosn why I should or should not accept this desired goal to be best for our company.
I hope some of you can help me straighten my vision on this.
Robin

The biggest problems I think we might face are the
big question "who is responsible for what", and the
administration of non Oracle systems/methods to
perform backupsi have no problems with such a setup. i provide the rman skript which will be called by TSM.
the TSM admins notify me if the backup failed. retention on TSM side is disabled, only RMAN deletes obsolete/expired backups.
All I want to care about is performing a backup to
Disk, or Disk and Tape, or just Tape from within
Oracle/RMAN and read the ouput from here.
Now where these external tape labraries like TSM come
in there will be more administration for the total
handling of a backup job. It´s not only RMAN, but a
tdpo and a TSM server which need to be monitored
closely. of course TSM has to be monitored but if you already have invested an infrastructure you should use it for every type of backups.
Sadly Oracle has yet to come up with it´s secure
backup for TSM systems, but I think it would be best
if I could let Oracle solely in charge of its own
backups.if TSM retention is disabled, RMAN has absolute control.
Then again, I don´t know if anyone has good
experiences with TSM as the only backup provider for
Oracle backups. (so no disk backups)it works very good. use staged pools on TSM. primary pool should be diskpool, secondary a tapepool. you can configure TSM to move the data from disk to tape based on fill level or age.

HP Storage Management Pack Conflicts with Network Monitoring SNMP

The HP Storage management pack that I installed requires starting the Windows SNMP services, which creates a conflict with SNMP used for SCOM network monitoring. I am spinning up a second SCOM mangement server so I can split these functions. What would
you recommend to split these functions across the two management servers? Uninstall the HP Storage Management Pack, and install on the new server? Or move the network monitoring to the second server?
Thank you for your help!

Does the HP Storage pack support resource pools? What I've found with these 3rd party packs that implement connector services is they do not provide true HA via SCOM resource pools - they are standalone systems with a connector service. This is true for
the NetApp (DataONTAP) pack, and it's a huge disappointment.
Vendors do this because they have an API, and they think the only way to implement discovery and monitoring in SCOM is to create a service that accesses the API - and then the service is basically a collector in this case, and typically has a handful of
rules (sometimes just one rule) that scrape events on the management server and they are misinterpreted to be alerts coming from some instance.
I turn green when I run into this type of problem, because all this can be accomplished with native modules or managed code that are designed to work very well with SCOM.
I know this doesn't answer your question - it's more a way for me to express my distain for these type of packs.

Migrating Netware to VM with Portlock Storage Manager

We are currently in the process of migrating out NetWare 6.5 SP8 boxes to a virtual environment using PortLock Storage Manager. We have successful migrated a number of NetWare servers already. However, when we tried to migrate our BorderManager server using the same approach as the other Netware boxes. The server prompted us with a message stating that there was a problem and to resolve this we need to run MM UPGRADE PARTITIONS. (Note this box is running NetWare 6.5 SP07)
First, what does MM UPGRADE PARTITIONS do?
Second, can this be ran with no down time?
Third, what are the potential problems with running this command?
Thank you,
Jon

The message from Portlock Storage Manager means that your NetWare server has NetWare partitions formatted with an older specification. For NetWare 6.5, NetWare partitions no longer have a HotFix or Mirror partition area. The "mm upgrade partitions" updates the on disk format of a partition. Novell documentation states that this command can be run on running servers with mounted volumes. However, we recommend backup up the server first and then rebooting after the command is executed.
Novell documentation on this command:
Novell Documentation
You should also update the media format of the NSS pools:

Storage Manager on NT locks up against 8.0.5 on Linux

I have created a linux oracle server that seems to be
working quite well. I have had little trouble managing the server
from the UNIX side. I am using Net8 to connect from my NT
machine that I do most of my work from. I have installed the
Oracle Client for NT on my machine and can connect to my Linux
Server in the standard ways. However, every now and then when
I,m using one of the Oracle management tools the tool freezes and
locks up. Often I will have to go into Server Manager on the
linux side and kill the user session to get the server back to
normal. One place it seems to happen with regularity is when
using the Storage Manager and browsing through the tablespaces.
The first tablespace I look at usually pulls up but the next one
just hangs Storage Manager and I have to end the task.
Has anyone else experienced similar behavior?

I seem to have fixed the problem by creating a new temporary
tablespace on a separate harddrive and deleting the old one.

XSAN and TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager)

Hello,
I wanted to know if anybody had already used the TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) solution from IBM to backup an XSAN?
From what I have read on the IBM tech guide, the solution is fully compatible.
Best regards,
Cédric

Hello Cedric.
I have used IBM TSM 5.2 with XSAN for a whole year without problems.
Our Xsan environment have 15 mixed INTEL&PPC Workstation, 2 Intel MDC, OSX-OSXSERVER 10.4.9, XSAN 1.4.1
We have a 3584 LTO library with 2 frames, 4 drives LTO2 and 2 LTO3. But we use only LTO3 with TSM from MAC. Our IBM TSM Server is a PSeries 630.
Now we are looking for a MAM system that can manage a proxy version of our archive. Parcial restores features could be very helpful for us.
