We assumed we had the dreaded "system objects" problem because we were running 4.2.2.0, we have a bunch of Windows clients, and our database was growing at a rate that we didn't like.
So a couple of days ago, we upgraded to 4.2.3, and ran CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS. It didn't seem to accomplish anything. It finshed fairly quickly, compared to some of the reports I've read here, and finished with the message: ANR4730I CLEANUP BACKUPGROUPS evaluated 28729 groups and deleted 0 orphan groups with 0 group members deleted with completion state 'FINISHED'. Somebody on this list suggested using the command QUERY OCC * "SYSTEM OBJECT" to get an idea of how bad the problem was. I tried that, before and after the upgrade, and got the same result: zip tsm: UKCCSERVER1>QUERY OCC * "SYSTEM OBJECT" ANR2034E QUERY OCCUPANCY: No match found using this criteria. ANS8001I Return code 11. This doesn't seem to make sense to me, because if I pick a client at random and issue a query occ for that client, I see some system object filespaces. tsm: UKCCSERVER1>q occ grabthar * Node Name Type Filespace FSID Storage Number of Physical Logical Name Pool Name Files Space Space Occupied Occupied (MB) (MB) ---------- ---- ---------- ----- ---------- --------- --------- --------- GRABTHAR Bkup \\grabtha- 1 BACKUPOFF- 11 0.03 0.03 r\f$ SITE GRABTHAR Bkup \\grabtha- 1 BACKUPONS- 11 0.03 0.03 r\f$ ITE GRABTHAR Bkup \\grabtha- 2 BACKUPOFF- 698,512 115,597.0 115,411.1 r\e$ SITE 8 5 GRABTHAR Bkup \\grabtha- 2 BACKUPONS- 698,512 115,987.1 115,411.1 r\e$ ITE 8 9 GRABTHAR Bkup \\grabtha- 3 BACKUPOFF- 20,558 4,651.16 4,570.71 r\c$ SITE GRABTHAR Bkup \\grabtha- 3 BACKUPONS- 20,558 4,642.22 4,570.71 r\c$ ITE GRABTHAR Bkup SYSTEM 4 BACKUPOFF- 106,465 13,598.76 13,598.76 OBJECT SITE GRABTHAR Bkup SYSTEM 4 BACKUPONS- 106,465 13,598.76 13,598.76 OBJECT ITE The pieces just don't seem to be fitting together.
