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" tcp 4 0 0 *. 1510 *. * tcp 4 0 0 *. 1580 *. * tcp 4 0 0 *. 1500 *. * 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 ANR 7800 I DSMSERV generated at 08: 09: 53 on Jun 4 2003.

To check the physical tapes in library as per 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 3584 lib 1 tape 001 tsm: TSMSERV> checkin libvol 3584 lib 1 search=bulk status=scr checklabel=barcode For checkin of tapes with data tsm: TSMSERV> checkin libvol 3584 lib 1 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 3584 lib 1 tape 001 checklabel=no Auditing the tsm's tape inventory with that of physical library tsm: TSMSERV> audit libr 3584 lib 1 ANS 8003 I Process number 15 started. tsm: TSMSERV> audit libr 3584 lib 1 checklabel=barcode ANS 8003 I 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.
