Hi Justin, There is a setting on the disk storage pool called maxsize. This value (which is no limit by default) specifies the maximum size for a physical file in the storage pool. You must specify the scale factor (K,M,G,T) when setting this attribute (i.e. update stg diskpool maxsize=4G) otherwise it defaults to bytes!

Here's my situation. I have a SUN system which has an Oracle database on it. When it backup the normal O/S files it backsup right to disk perfect real quick. Now when it hits a DBF which is only: "12 meg" mind you, it hangs there and says: "waiting for mount of offline media....". Now there's plenty of room in the storage pool, migration doesn't need to run, there's like 200 gig in the disk stgpool free and the copy group is set for it to go right to disk. Now it's just not on Oracle DBF files sometimes it's on other application files..etc. It's like if a file is over a certain size regardless of the current disk storage pool utilization percentage it will still mount a tape and backup to tape?. Any ideas?. Is there something I'm missing? It's a problem because I do a backup for this client and I see there's more then enough disk storage pool space freed but not enough tape drives in the time they want it ran. No big deal I figure because I have more then enough disk space. WRONG, I kick the backup off and it still trys to mount a tape?????. Any ideas would be appreciated thanks!. --Justin Richard Bleistein Unix Systems Administrator (Sungard eSourcing) Desk: (856) 866 - 4017 Cell: (856) 912 - 0861 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
