Hallo TSM'ers, During a 'backup stgpool' I saw the following situation;
Process Process Description Status Number -------- -------------------- ------------------------------------------------- 458 Backup Storage Pool Primary Pool ONSITE, Copy Pool RMM, Files Backed Up: 5133, Bytes Backed Up: 146,232,434,534, Unreadable Files: 0, Unreadable Bytes: 0. Current Physical File (bytes): 2,097,424,832~Waiting for access to input volume SH0353 (4728 seconds).~Current output volume: PH0094.\ 459 Backup Storage Pool Primary Pool ONSITE, Copy Pool RMM, Files Backed Up: 271, Bytes Backed Up: 309,392,758,143, Unreadable Files: 0, Unreadable Bytes: 0. Current Physical File (bytes): 2,097,424,836~Current input volume: SH0353.~Current output volume: PH0235.\ Now, as far as I was aware, TSM organised itself such that the above situation shouldn't happen. IE, the 459 process should have been tasked with copying all the required data from SH0353, and the 458 process should not have been assigned the job of backing up any data on SH0353. Am I wrong in this? One thing I can think of that may have caused this to happen is that SH0353 holds an 'incomplete' file right at the end, and that file is required for proc 458's backup task. Still, in that case, I would expect the split file to be allocated to the 459 process instead...?
