APPENDIX A Hints About Managing The Tape Environment And Disaster Recovery Here are some hints about problem areas that may need attention. 1) Silo Scratch Tape Replenishment: The way $ZSVR allocates tapes for a backup is to sequentially go through its database and asking for the first scratch it comes to. If it is in the silo, it gets mounted. If the tape is outside, the silo waits until it is entered. This can be avoided if a MEDIACOM option is set in the MEDIADEFS area that states RELEASED ON.
5) The DSM/TC database is a SQL Catalog, comprised of SQL tables and indexes. The BACKUP program will not adequately save any SQL Catalogs for recovery. A save solution that incorporates Backup and TMFCOM DUMP FILES to save the system for a full recovery needs to be implemented. 6) If the TMF Dump is chosen as part of the recovery solution, it will be necessary to add TMF tapes to the TMF database. These are totally separate from DSM/TC tapes. They do not share.
APPENDIX B SILO 9710 MEDIA MANAGER Troubleshooting In this Appendix This appendix includes the following main topics and sections: Topic Overview Troubleshooting Possible Problem Areas with TCP/IP Section B.1 B.2 B.3 B.1 Overview This chapter will deal with most of the problems that may be encountered while installing/configuring and using SILO 9710 MEDIA MANAGER. Most of the problems will be TCP/IP, Tandem security or Tandem device setup related.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide The Device Name is clicked on the SMM screen and a message about ‘OPEN DEVICE NOT SUCCESSFUL’ is received There is a problem with talking to the silo device Make sure the correct Tandem hardware SCSI name has been specified. It must correspond to the system name of the device. The System Manager should know the SCSI device name The silo device name is correct, just not communicating System Manager will need to try cycling it (start/stop) or delete and re-add it.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide B.3 Possible Problem Areas with TCP/IP Here are some possible problem areas that may be encountered with TCP/IP: 1) By using the IP # of the Tandem host, it should be possible to PING the Tandem host from the PC. Choose the ‘PING’ button from the SMM screen. Type in the IP # of the Tandem host with which communication is being attempted. Four reply lines should come back indicating that talking to the Tandem host is possible.
APPENDIX C Installation Worksheet Prerequisites for Silo Media Manager to Tandem Installation To assure a successful installation of Silo Media Manager to Tandem, please make a copy of this worksheet, fill it out and refer to it during the installation process. q Services File ________________________ This file is normally located on $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP. This is where the port number found later in this document will be defined.

9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide APPENDIX D Silo Media Manager Configuration Utility and TPTSTR Examples Configuration Screen for the Client Password will not be displayed when entering.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide CONFIG_PORT# To configure or change the TCPIP port number, type CONFIG_PORT# at the main menu prompt. Enter the new port number when the prompt asks for it. Next the new configuration will be shown, and confirmation on the new configuration will be requested. Type Y or N.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide CONFIG_HOSTPORT# To configure or change the host port #, type CONFIG_HOSTPORT# and press enter. Enter the port # of the server when prompted to do so. Once the host port # has been entered, the new configuration will be shown and confirmation will be requested. Type Y (if correct) and the main menu prompt will return.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide CONFIG_HOSTIP Once the host port # has been configured, the host IP address needs to be configured. Type CONFIG_HOSTIP while at the main menu prompt and press enter. Enter the host IP address at the designated prompt. Once the new address has been entered, the new configuration will be shown and confirmation will be requested. Type Y (if correct) to return to the main menu prompt.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide VIEW_CONFIG To view the current configuration type VIEW_CONFIG. This will show the client port number, server (host) port number and server (host) IP address. The client port #, host port #, and host IP address need to be configured to successfully run the client.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide HELP The Help Menu provides a description of each command.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide Configuration Screen for the Server The password will not be displayed when entering.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide CONFIG_ALTSYS# To run on an alternate system, the program has to be configured for an alternate system. Do this by typing in CONFIG_ALTSYS# at the prompt. If the system number is less than 6 digits it will be padded with zeros in the front. This alternate system may be worked off of for up to 15 days. To alter the system number simply type the command again.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide CONFIG_DEVICE A silo device is configured by typing CONFIG_DEVICE at the prompt. A new prompt will be received asking that the device name be entered. Enter the device name to be configured. At the prompt enter the device host node. After the device host node is entered, the new configuration will be displayed for review. The prompt will ask for confirmation about the new configuration. Type Y if the new configuration is correct.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide CONFIG_DRIVE When the main menu prompt returns, type CONFIG_DRIVE to configure a drive. Once CONFIG_DRIVE is typed, the prompt will ask which drive to configure (1-10 from bottom to top). Choose the drive to be configured. Enter the new name for the drive and the new node. The new configuration will be shown and confirmation will be requested. Type Y, if the new configuration is correct.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide VIEW_CONFIG To view the current configuration type VIEW_CONFIG. It shows the device name, the device node, the host port #, the alternate system #, and all of the drive configurations. The device name, device node, host port # and drives need to be configured to successfully run the server.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide DEL_DRIVE Delete drives by typing DEL_DRIVE at the prompt. The prompt then asks which drive to delete. Enter the drive to be deleted (1-10). The current configuration for the drive will be displayed. When asked for confirmation about the drive to be deleted, type Y if the correct drive has been chosen. The next prompt will ask about continuation of deleting drives or exiting. The main menu prompt will return if the choice to exit is made.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide HELP The Help Menu provides a description of each command.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide RUN TPTSTR The tptstr program is used to test communication and status of the silo. Open the device by typing open . Type Inquiry and the above information will be returned. If it does not return, then there is no communication with the device.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide Continued information from the Inquiry command.
9710 SMM Installation and Users Guide Type testunit_ready and the above information will be returned.
