you obviously have cached diskpool(s) run with compression yes (in dsm.sys) and compressalways no (in dsm.opt)
if a file grows withh compression, compressalways tells it to send it uncompressed... Dwight E. Cook Software Application Engineer III Science Applications International Corporation 509 S.

Environment: TSM OS/390 server - V4.1.4 Linux Client - V4.1.4 Been trying to archive a client node. The archive disk pool is not as large as the amount of data to be archived. Received a "failure" on the archive. This is one of the messages: 05/16/2002 10:43:20 ANS1228E Sending of object '/usr/local/blackboard/docs/courses/1/INFO-360-002-2002Spring/content/_65742 _1/360web_ontime2.zip' failed I looked into the server log and found the related message: 05/16/2002 10:43:01 ANR0534W Transaction failed for session 62 for node ATHENA.VCU.EDU (Linux86) - size estimate exceeded and server is unable to obtain additional space in storage pool SPARCHIVE. Yes, I looked up the ANR0534W message. It talks about both a possible COMPRESSION issue as well as insufficient space in the storage pool. Yep, the compression for this session was "-5%". So......Big deal.....I would not think this would/should cause a permanent failure and lack of archiving of the file in question. Yes, I realize the storagepool filled up. My understand has always been, and please correct me if I am wrong, that is a storagepool fills up/reaches the HI value, 2 things occur: 1. Migration is kicked off, moving data to the defined NEXTPOOL (which is did) 2. The CLIENT is told to "Whoa......Stop Sending Data......Hang on while I move stuff out of the storagepool to make more room....OK Client, you can send me more data, now......" Am I way off on this or is this some sort of problem ? Also, the book says : "System Action: The specified session is ended and server operation continues." Does this mean the archive was killed and did not finish successfully ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ Zoltan Forray Virginia Commonwealth University - University Computing Center e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - voice: 804-828-4807
