Overview
 TSM 6.3 Node Replication provided the ability to replicate a client
node's data from a source server to a target server
– can be used to restore data in the event that the source server is unavailable
 This feature adds improvements that make replication more
automated and reduce user interaction in the event of a disaster

Advanced Technical Skills (ATS) North America
New Function
 Automated Client Fail Over for Recovery of Data
– A Client can fail over and recover data with no waiting
– Includes only backup and archive replicated data
 Fail over connection information is automatically managed
 Replication Additional Client Attributes
– Replicate proxy nodes, client options sets, file space access rules
 Replicate Administrative node owners
 Both TSM primary and secondary servers and the TSM clients
must be at TSM 7.1 for failover

Filespace level collocation groups
 Filespace-level collocation groups provide an additional level of
granularity to help improve restore or retrieve performance by
minimizing the number of sequential access volumes required to
recover the data on physical tape
 Beneficial for VMware backups
 In order of increasing granularity, collocation options are
–
–
–
–
–
(1) No collocation
(2) Collocation by group of nodes
(3) Collocation of a single node
(4) Collocation by group of filespaces
(5) Collocation by a single filespace.
 Provides better restore/retrieve performance over collocation by
groups of nodes or collocation of single node for VMware data
 Better utilization of storage over collocation of a single filespace

Advanced Technical Skills (ATS) North America
The Challenge
 There can be severe performance problems when processing
extremely large objects in the TSM server
 Large objects create extremely long DB2 lock lists and extensive
locking of bitfiles for long periods of time
– In particular, the DB2 lock lists get extremely large during any form of data
movement on the TSM server, for example Reclamation (Reconstruction) and
deletion of aggregates. This is also seen however with migration and backup
stgpool, so performance improvements are expected here as well.
 Objective of this item is to mitigate the use of large objects with
TSM servers
 Basic enhancement here is to create smaller logical objects by
splitting the larger objects into pieces
23
© 2013 IBM Corporation
Advanced Technical Skills (ATS) North America
When will Large Objects be Eligible?
 In order for an object to be eligible, it must have either:
– A size larger than 10GB OR
– At least 10,000 chunks
 This enhancement will work with:
– TSM for Space Management (Unix HSM) and HSM for Windows
– TSM for Mail, TSM for Databases, TSM for ERP, DP for Exchange, DP for
SQL, DP Domino, and DP Oracle
– FastBack, FastBack for BMR, FastBack Center, and FastBack for Exchange
– Server , Storage Agent, Library Manager/client, NDMP and zOS Media Server
 This will NOT work with:
– Import/Export -- Import will still treat the object as one single large object
24
© 2013 IBM Corporation
Advanced Technical Skills (ATS) North America
How will this work with Various TSM Processes?
 Many TSM operations will now act on these on a fragment level,
rather than the entire super aggregate
 Backup/Archive Operations will:
– During store operations from a B/A or API (TDP) client, the TSM server will
use the size estimate of an object being stored to initiate special “Super
Aggregate” processing.
– Once an object as a Super Aggregate (that is, a series of fragments), the
Super Aggregate will be closed and a new normal aggregate will be opened if
we receive another object in the same transaction.
– A Super Aggregate can hold only a single client object.

Goals of This Feature
 IBM Installation Manager will be the installer for new
Operations Center components:
–

–
–
Web server
WAR files
IBM Java JRE
Start and Stop service
 The TSM server will also change to use IBM Installation
Manager
 The IBM Installation Manager will have GUI, console and
silent modes
 A prerequisite checker will also be provided
27

Advanced Technical Skills (ATS) North America
Installation Process
 First, the installer will check if the Installation Manager is
already installed
– If not, it will be installed
 Next, Installation Manager will automatically begin the install
of the appropriate package
 The Installation Manager will be used to perform upgrades
and uninstalls as well

TSM Server Upgrade to DB2 10.5
 This upgrade will be mostly transparent to TSM users
 There are a few issues that will require TSM administrator
action:
– Online DB2 backups taken with DB2 9.7 cannot be restored to DB2
10.5 – all TSM backups are online
– After upgrade a TSM database backup will need to be taken
immediately (this may end up being automated)
– DB2 10.5 does not plan support for Solaris 11 or RHEL 5 so support
will be dropped for both in TSM 7.1 server (Storage Agent will continue
support)
– DB2 10.5 does not support upgrade from DB2 9.5 so users running
TSM 6.1 with DB2 9.5 will need to upgrade to TSM 6.2 or 6.3 before
upgrading to TSM 7.1 (Installer will check for this)

Common SNAPDIFF Backup Problems
 Snapshots being used by TSM for the backup being
deleted during the backup
 Backup file sharing violations, especially with
Snapmirror
 Network errors cause interruption of file sharing
 General client errors may cause backup failures
33

Resolution
 The change log database is now persistent.
 Client consumer processing now deletes objects
committed on the TSM server from the change log
database.
 When a transaction is committed on the TSM server by
client consumer processing, every entry committed on the
TSM server will be deleted from the change log.
Note: The integration point for doing this in the client
consumer code is the same as it is for Journal Based
Backup.

Linux Backup-Archive Client support for Btrfs
 TSM client was able to backup and restore Btrfs file system before this
enhancement, but stored it as an UNKNOWN file system.
– Filesystem ACLs and extended attributes not backed up and could not be
restored
 TSM client ca now recognize Btrfs file system
 User can now specify btrfs file systems as the file specification to
backup, restore, image backup, image restore, archive and retrieve file
data.
 TSM client can also now successfully backup/restore btrfs filesystem
ACLs and extended attributes.
 User will also be able to specify Btrfs subvolumes as file specification to
the backup, restore, archive and retrieve functions.
– User will not be able to perform image backup/restore of a Btrfs subvolume.
– Returns error message “ANS1162E Filesystem could not be mounted”

Recovery Scenarios
 Instant Access for Integrity Validation of Full VM Backup Data
– A new virtual machine is built using requested backup and can be instantly
used
– No additional storage is needed as disks' data remain in repository
– The verification itself is done by specific applications that the user will provide
and operate
– This method could also be used to restore a file or set of files (by copying
them) without restoring the entire VM
 Instant Restore of a Full VM
– A new virtual machine is built using requested backup and can be instantly
used
– Additional storage is needed as disks' data are copied from a repository in the
background using VMware Storage vMotion

© 2013 IBM Corporation
Advanced Technical Skills (ATS) North America
Considerations
 This feature uses existing capabilities of VMware and TSM for VE
– iSCSI mount with TSM for VE Recovery Agent – this is transparent
– Storage vMotion used for instant restore (instant access does not require
vMotion)
 Requires TSM for VE Recovery Agent V7.1 and Datamover V7.1
 VMs backed up with TSM B/A client V6.3 or higher can be restored
with this feature
 When the Instant Restore is working, the B/A Client (data mover)
can not do anything else
– For parallel Instant Restore sessions, the user will issue separate requests
specifying different B/A Clients (data movers)
 After Instant Access user verification is completed, TSM for VE will
clean up the temporary VM and space used
41
© 2013 IBM Corporation
Advanced Technical Skills (ATS) North America
Considerations
 For Instant Access, it is possible to select if the VM created for
verification is automatically started or not
– This is necessary to allow the user to change the VM characteristics to overcome
conflict IP addresses and machine names etc
 For Instant Restore, the VM is automatically started
 For Instant Restore, all VM data disks are restored to the original data
store where the VM (configuration) was stored before
– In the case that the user specifies a target datastore with the "-datastore" option,
all disks (and VM configuration) are restored to that data store
– It is not possible to restore into multiple datastores—VMs that have data on
multiple datastores are not supported
 The TSM for VE Recovery Agent must be installed on the same
machine as the TSM for VE datamover
 Instant Access or Instant Restore from physical tape is not supported
(VTL is supported)

Objectives
 This item introduces a new Backup Status report to show which
VMs failed to backup within a certain time period picked by the
user
 From this report, the VMware Administrator sees the names of the
VMs that failed, the schedule name, the date of that schedule, the
reason (RC) code for failure, the name of the TSM DataCenter Node
and the TSM DataMover Node used for the backup, and also the
date of the last successful backup for this VM
 The Administrator is then able to drill-down to view the backup
history (or backup and restore history) of a particular VM by rightclicking the row on the grid and selecting the action desired
 For backup schedule failures that result in an Event posted to the
Events GUI panel, the user can select the Event and view the
failing VMs and all VMs associated with the Event

 The goal of this item is to provide data protection for VMware
vCloud Director environment—to provide a way to honor the multitenancy within the vCloud Director structure
 In a vCloud Director environment, infrastructure resources such as
memory, CPU, storage and networks are assigned to Provider
Virtual Data Centers (PvDCs)
 Organizations create their own Virtual Data Centers (Org vDCs), for
which resources are carved from an underlying Provider vDC
 An Org vDC will host vApps (a collection of pre-deployed virtual
machines), which are typically deployed by end-users from vApp
Templates stored in a Catalog

Objective
 Collect and store VM guest and application specific information in a

– New information should be stored in such a way that other reporting engines
(such as Admin Center) can consume the data
– Guest specific data collected should be sufficient for correlating data across
multiple agents which back up the same VM
– Application specific data collected should meet the needs of the new reports
 Provide new unified application protection reports in the vSphere

Overview
 FCM adds support for VMware 6.0
 Exploits the vSphere 5 APIs instead of the 4.1 level of the APIs
currently being used
 New API to copy VMs with their virtual size and not with their full
size

Instant Restore of Datastores
 Support for instant restore (i.e. snapshot restore) at the VMFS and
NAS datastore level for disaster recovery scenarios where entire
datastores are lost
 What is the definition of Instant Restore?
– Instant Restore occurs when a set of target volumes that contain a valid
snapshot are copied back to the original source volumes using hardwareassisted snap restore mechanisms
– Unlike a regular volume restore, instant restore allows access to volume
contents while the copy process in the storage subsystem is in progress
– Less downtime is required before a recovered volume can be used because,
after you start an instant restore, you can use data on the disk while the
restore is in progress

User Scenario
 The user is able to select a datastore for instant restore
– FCM will do a flashback/snapshot restore of that datastore and thus bring
back all of the contained files representing VMs at the backup point in time.
The virtual machines that were part of the backup are registered in the
vCenter after this operation so that the user is able to work with them right
away.
 The user is able to identify all registered VMs in the vSphere
environment that are affected and overwritten by the instant
restore operation (GUI enhancement)
 The user is able to check the dependencies of VMs contained in
the datastore to other datastores
– There is an indication that for specific VM's the instant restore of other
datastores is required as well to restore them consistently

User Scenario
 The user is able to decide which dependent datastores to restore
and again is able to identify all VMs that will be affected by the
resulting instant restore operation
 The user is able to decide if the VMs should be started after the
instant restore

SRM Coexistence
 Eliminate the limitation in the previous FCM for VMware releases:
FCM for VMware is not able to work in an environment where the
VMware Site Recover Manager (SRM) is active
 User scenarios
– The user will be able attach, restore VMs, do instant restores of datastores
and offload FCM backups to TSM even if SRM is active
– Detailed documentation is available on how to manually reconfigure FCM for
VMWare after an SRM failover to the Recovery Site, to be able to re-enable
the backup schedules and protect the VMs with FCM for VMware even if the
VMs has been moved to an other vSphere environment
– The reconfiguration is a manual process

NAS Support for NetApp Devices on Unix/Linux
 Today, SAN (Fiber Channel and iSCSI) connectivity is supported on
Netapp/Nseries devices for Unix, Linux and VMware platforms
 Today, NFS connectivity for NetApp/Nseries is supported only for the
VMware platform
 This item will add support for backup, instant restore, mount and
cloning also for applications and databases (DB2, Oracle, SAP and
custom applications) on Unix and Linux that store their data on NFS
volumes exported by N series or Netapp storage
 Remote mirroring is not included in this support

Support for DB2 pureScale
 The intention of this feature is to add support for DB2 pureScale
feature to FlashCopy Manager for Unix and Linux
 DB2 pureScale relies on the IBM General Parallel File System
(GPFS), therefore FCM will exploit GPFS snapshots and remote
mount functionality to provide support for DB2 pureScale
 Given that those snapshots are performed on a file set level within
a file system, FCM is completely independent of the underlying
storage used by GPFS and thus supports all storage subsystems
supported by DB2 pureScale
 This is software snapshot support
 This feature will not support cloning
 Can be integrated with TSM for off-load of backups

DB2 pureScale (GPFS Snapshot) Support
 FCM installed on one or more member nodes in pureScale cluster
– Operation from one node
– Additional nodes for HA failover purposes
 Exploit GPFS FileSet snapshots rather than storage H/W snapshots
– Support all storage supported by GPFS
 Support planned on AIX and xLinux
