If virtual machine is power on:

      powerState = “poweredOn”,

      powerState = “poweredOff”,
      ipAddress = ,
Power on the virtual machine:

~ # vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on 10

reuse the command :
 vim-cmd vmsvc/get.summary 10 | egrep ‘(power|ip)’

SVC and Global Mirror Whit Change Volumes

In recent days I have configured and activated LBGM I read this redbook

and the implementation is easy. Now I have a replica every 12H

To check the last volume main change that has finished copying to the secondary site:
– Connect to SVC using CLI
– type :
IBM_2145:SVCMO:admin>lsrcconsistgrp PAUL

 and Freeze_time is the timestamp of the last completed copying
freeze_time 2012/12/18/05/02/22

Tivoli Storage Manager Data protection form vmware 6.4

Dopo aver avuto alcune notizie sull’imminente arrivo di TSM 6.4 (che da quanto ho potuto capire la parte server rimarra come 6.3.x mentre i componenti come  il VE diventera’ 6.4) ecco le prime info che ho trovato  per data protection for vmware :

– Incrementale forever … come per i backup standard di tsm si utilizzeranno  nel backup delle virtual machine di vmware su utilizzera il CBT in maniera differente come policy dalla 6.3 non piu
Full-Inc-Full-Inc  etc … ma Full-Inc-Inc-Inc ….  con connesso la schedulazione  di un solo job per il backup (non come adesso uno per il full e uno per l’inc..)

– Risparmio di spazio l’utilizzo di solo e sempre gli incrementali permettera’ anche di consolidare i block utilizzai eliminando quelli non utilizzaiti (se non mi sbaglio lo fa gia’ Veeam..)

– Si potra’ backuppare un singolo VMDK… invece che solamente l’intera VM.

Poi altre modifiche su schedulazioni e processi di backup ma gia’ quelli che vi ho indicato mi spingono a pensare che almento il sottoscritto per il 2013 potrebbe vedere bene un bel aggiornamento alla  6.4

TSM 6.4 a fine Novembre

Mentre navigavo sul sito dell’IBM per verificare alcune compatiblita’ di client  mi sono imbattuto …

http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=AN&subtype=CA&htmlfid=897/ENUS212-382&appname=USN

Speriamo che ci siano anche dei miglioramenti a livello di interfaccia grafica dell’administration center …. (magari verso l’interfaccia dell XIV, attualmente riutilizzata per SVC,V7000 e TPC…)

TSM 6.4 a fine Novembre

Configure Tivoli Storage Manager 6.3 for Automatic deploy Agent

Dopo aver aggiornato TSM dalla 6.2.2 alla 6.3  ho preparato il TSM server per effettuare l’automatic deploy degli agent via Administration Center , ho utilizzato come documentazione l’infocenter dell’IBM.

Per prima cosa creo due filesystem sul server (nel mio caso linux redhat) dove uno mi servira’ per appoggiare i pacchetti di aggiornamento (.exp) nel caso voglia fare io il download dal sito IBM (l’automatic deploy permette anche di delegare a lui il downlaod e l’import sul TSM), mentre l’altro file system mi servira’ per definirci la device class per dove il tsm si archiviera’ gli agent.

# Creo la devclass  associata al file system dove verra’ messo il pacchetto da importare
define devclass ibm_client_deploy_import devtype=file directory=/import_agent

# definisco il storage pool dove verra’ messo il pacchetto (agent e’ una device class definita gia’ prima)

tsm: SERVER1>q devclass agent f=d
             Device Class Name: AGENT
        Device Access Strategy: Sequential
            Storage Pool Count: 1
                   Device Type: FILE

#definisco il mio server
set serverhladdress=server.serveraddress.com

Alcune note sui parametri utilizzati:

•ibm_client_deploy_import is the temporary location from where the deployment packages are imported. This parameter is defined by the deployment manager.
•import_directory is a previously defined directory that is accessible from the server.
•stgpool_name is the name of a storage pool of your choosing where the deployment packages are stored on the server. The storage pool name is based on a previously defined device class. That device class is different from the one which is used to perform IMPORT operations.
•storage_dc_name represents the device class where the deployment packages are stored on the server.
•retention_value (RETVER) of the DEFINE COPYGROUP command sets the retention time for the package. You can set it to NOLimit or to a number of days. If you specify a number, you must take into account the number of days that the package was on the FTP site. The days spent on the FTP site are included in the number.
 The default for the Administration Center is five years.

•server.serveraddress.com is the server IP address or host name from which you scheduled the client automatic deployment.

Prossimamente spieghero’ come importare in automatico i pacchetti e fare il vero e proprio upgrade degli agent

DS3500 new firmware 07.83.22.00

Ho aggiornato su due nuovi DS3500 il fw con l’ultima release e ho trovato molte novita’ interessanti dai Dynamic Disk Pool al supporto del VAAI per  vmware, gia’ queste due primi miglioramenti sono molti interessanti per il target a cui e’ proposto questo storage soprattutto paragonato ad altri storage, della stessa fascia, di altri vendor.

Ecco un confronto tra il DDP (Dynamic Disk Pool) e il tradizionale RAID

Una nota negativa del DDP che richiede un minimo di 11 Drive installati nel cassetto dello storage.

Mentre per il VAAI non c’e’ molto da spiegare …
