1. TSM 5.3 – Engine, Admin Center and Upgrade Sean Sperry IBM Confidential

2. Tivoli Storage Manager 5.3 Release Themes • Improve ease of use • Simplify administration and management • Use resources efficiently • Maintain currency (operating systems, platforms, databases, etc.)

3. Topics • TSM Server Features • Backup-archive client Features • TSM for Space Management (HSM) • TSM for … applications ( DB, Mail, HW, Apps, ERP) • Admin Center • Upgrading • Resources

4. Enhanced Calendar-Based Scheduling • Greatly increased flexibility for client and administrative schedules • Can be exploited via administrative commands or web interface • Examples: • First and third Tuesday of every month • Last Friday of every month • 1st and 15th day of every month • 10th day of last month in each quarter • First Saturday or Sunday of every month • Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in June

5. Operational Customization • Goal is increased ability to control and schedule server operations • New commands • MIGRATE STGPOOL with LOWMIG, DURATION, RECLAIM, and WAIT options • RECLAIM STGPOOL with THRESHOLD, DURATION, OFFSITERECLAIMLIMIT, and WAIT options • Ability to run operations in parallel from script, and wait until all complete before continuing • Configurable attribute for copy storage pools specifies number of offsite volumes to be reclaimed • New administrative web interface exploits these capabilities for scheduling routine server operations

6. Multi-process Reclamation/Migration • Multiple concurrent reclamation and migration processes for same sequential-access storage pool • Source storage pool can be • Sequential-access disk • Tape or optical media • Maximum number of processes is a configurable storage pool attribute • Achieves parallelism and optimal use of tape/optical drives Process 1 Source location Target location Process 2 Process n

7. Disk Storage Basics • Disk storage can provide optimal restore for small/medium files • No delays for mounting of volumes • Fast positioning to data within volume • Simultaneous volume access from multiple sessions for random-access volumes • Random-access disk storage pools defined with device class of DISK • Sequential-access disk storage pools defined using device class with DEVTYPE=FILE A A B C C A B C B B A B A B Sequential-access disk Objects stored sequentially in file volumes Random-access disk Objects stored in random blocks

8. Disk Storage Enhancements • Disk-to-disk backup • Recent industry attention driven by availability of high-capacity, inexpensive disk subsystems • TSM (formerly ADSM) has supported two disk storage formats for over 10 years • Random-access (device class DISK) • Sequential-access (device type FILE) • Ongoing product enhancements to optimize disk storage with TSM with emphasis on sequential-access storage • Potential enhancements for sequential-access disk pools • Allow storage pools to span multiple file systems • Support parallel migration from sequential-access pools • Minimize fragmentation of file volumes to improve performance • Exploit direct I/O on supported platforms • Add space trigger for automatic allocation of storage pool space • Remove mount point limitations

9. Collocation Groups Group A: Node TED Node SUE Node MARY Group B: Node BOB Node JOE Node ANN Define groups of nodes whose data will be collocated together on sequential media Group A Group A A A BOB JOE SUE Group B Group B MARY B TED B ANN Migration Reclamation

10. Benefits of Collocation Groups • Collocation of small nodes without requiring that a tape and library slot be dedicated to each node • Optimal recovery • Efficient collocation of small nodes • Possible increased efficiency for multi-session restore by spreading data for a node over multiple volumes • Possible collocation of copy storage pools for offsite storage • Improved efficiency for internal data-transfer operations by transferring all nodes in the group together • Minimizes mounts of target volumes • For sequential-to-sequential transfer (e.g., reclamation), minimizes database scanning and reduces tape passes

11. Management of Storage Devices • Dynamic mapping of SAN-attached devices on AIX, Linux, and Sun • Serial number, manufacturer, and world-wide name are initially recorded for each storage device • When device configuration changes, TSM server discovers devices and automatically updates path definitions • Usability improvements for tape checkin, checkout, and label operations • Eliminate requirement for operator reply • Ability to handle numerous volumes • Native support for library sharing and LAN-free with ACSLS libraries • AIX, Sun, Windows: Library managers, libraries clients, and storage agents • HP, Linux: Library clients and storage agents • Library manager on AIX, Sun, or Windows can enable LAN-free to z/OS server without external library support

12. New Platforms/Devices • 3592 WORM tape • TS1120 (3592 Gen2) support at 5.3.2.1 • HP-UX Itanium (TSM server, storage agent, backup-archive client, API, and DP for Oracle)

13. Enhanced NDMP Support • Backup/restore of directory paths and qtrees • Stored as distinct TSM file space image • Restore image to any location • Restore of individual files from the backup image • Backup/restore of Network Appliance Snapshots (Celerra checkpoints currently supported)

14. Security Enhancements • Upgrade encryption to 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) • Used wherever 56-bit DES encryption is current implemented (data encryption, passwords, verbs) • Use toolkit to facilitate FIPS and Common Criteria certification • Support encryption of data for API applications • Option to prevent admin sessions from using same TCP/IP port as general client sessions

15. Proxy-Node (Multi-Node) Support • Allows one TSM node to store (or retrieve) data in behalf of another • Multiple nodes can store data to the same target node and file space • Administrative commands used to manage proxy node authorization • Possible applications • Concurrent store operations from multiple nodes for parallelism (HSM GPFS) • Federated backup from different nodes (distributed DB2 EEE environment) • Clustering/failover • Storage virtualization support for parallel backup of SAN File System

16. Client Include-Exclude Usability Improvements • Backup-archive command-line client • Preview capability displays files that would be included, excluded, or both • Data is not sent to TSM server • Backup-archive GUI (web, native Windows/Mac, and Java for UNIX) • Preview displays files that would be included, excluded, or both • Excluded directories will be displayed and marked • Ability to display include/exclude pattern • Wizard to assist user in generating include/exclude statements

17. Other Backup-Archive Client Enhancements • Allow deletion of backup objects from TSM database using GUI and command-line clients (useful for removing sensitive or infected files) • Single-drive support for open-file and online image backup using LVSA on Windows 2000 and XP (32-bit) • Journal-based backup (JBB) using multiple concurrent sessions • Maximum size and rollover of logs • Option can be specified for schedule and/or error logs • Alternative to current option to prune entries by age • Shared memory protocol for Windows and Linux
