MP Server / Re: OnDemand on Linux fails with Higher Version (CMOD 9.5)

« Last post by Justin Derrick on September 26, 2023, 03:06:00 PM »

I just did a patch to v10.5.0.7 today, no issues.  Thanks for the details on the fix though. 

If you were patching an existing server, you might have issues with your Java Path...

Just a quick note to thank Roberto and Alessandro for this thread...  Almost 10 years later, it helped me upgrade a client from v7 all the way to v10.5...

Another awesome display of the power of the forums.

10.5.0.7?

We're having what appears to be install anywhere / java issues with RHEL on that one.

Code: [Select]

MP Server / Re: Testmachine with TSM installed getting errors

« Last post by Justin Derrick on September 25, 2023, 06:33:26 AM »

Depends on the configuration -- if they're sequential volumes (like tapes) then you need to manually add volumes or might need to change your 'maxscratch' parameter. 

As for disabling TSM, it's just going to result in a lot of weird errors as CMOD tries to do retrievals and maintenance tasks since the App Groups are likely configured for it.  If that's not a concern, then carry on.

... and is it possible to "skip" the TSM by just change the ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER from TSM to CACHE_ONLY ?

Thanks, Justin
I know we had shortage of space, but we added more space and should have more than enough. Do we need to "mount it" somehove .. the new space ?

Before last week the space looked like this : /dev/fslv03      205,00      6,12   98%      107     1% /tsmdata
And now it is like this : /dev/fslv03      250,00     49,96   81%      107     1% /tsmdata

But it looks like it does not accept the new disk

MP Server / Re: Change the time of expiration affects old documents?

« Last post by Justin Derrick on September 22, 2023, 08:06:15 AM »

Hi Lair.

Yes, CMOD calculates which documents are eligible for expiration at the time that maintenance is run, using the value from 'Life of Data and Indexes'.

HOWEVER...  If you're using Tivoli Storage Manager, and you've set a specific retention period at the management class level, you ALSO have to change that setting, or data will be discarded by TSM based on it's own configuration.  As a result, if you have other App Groups that share the same TSM-enabled Storage Set in CMOD, they will need to be moved out of that Storage Set, because they will have their retention extended as a side effect.

There's a section on the wiki that describes this and links to the IBM Documentation: 

https://cmod.wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshooting_Content_Manager_OnDemand#Return_Codes

Your error return code seems to imply that you dn't have any more storage space - you may need to assign any new volumes to a specific storagepool.

From the TSM API Docs:

Code: [Select]

#define DSM_RS_ABORT_NO_STOR_SPACE_STOP      29

MP Server / Testmachine with TSM installed getting errors

« Last post by akstrom on September 22, 2023, 12:29:31 AM »

Hi

I have a test machine with TSM installed that is now giving me error, and will not load new documents into CMOD:

TSM Error: ANS0266I (RC2302) The dsmEndTxn vote is ABORT, so check the reason field., Return Code=2302, Reason=29, File=arssmsms.cpp, Line=3774  Srvr->xxxxxx<-

I know we had some space issues last week, but it was solves and we added more disk.

I am not sure, but could it be that the disk that is added needs to be "added" to TSM (even though the disk system under /tsmdata looks ok now) ?
Or is this some other problem than disk error.

We were thinking of just switching the
ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER from =TSM to =CACHE_ONLY, but will this give us problems along the road ?

I do not have TSM installed in production and the one on the test machine was installed a long time ago (but have been updated)
