TSM does not lock the total required space for a backup in a storage pool before the actual backup starts or while in progress. TSM fills the defined devices for a management class in order of definition until the storage pool is full or the backup completes. Fill your disks and TSM moves on to the tape pool or some other defined device.
Bruce....
If the MAXSIZE threshold on your disk pool is set to 200GB (which is excessive) and you have 133GB available there is no reason the backup isn't ending up on disk. Double check your management class for both the backup and archive copy pools. TDP for Oracle uses the 'BACKUP' copy group which in your case should point to the disk pool. TDP does not use the 'ARCHIVE' copy group. I have been bitten by this one in the past.

Bruce,
You should make sure that the percentage utilized in your storage pool is 0% prior to running your backup. Also, are any other backups running. Keep in mind that once TSM sees that it's going to need 133Gig of disk to backup the Oracle db, it will attempt to lock that amount of the stg pool. If the full amount is not available, it will go to the "next" stg pool.

Maybe setting on disk storagepool: "Maximum Size Threshold"?

I'm trying to give enough disk to my Oracle backups but have not been successful. My management classes point to disk. How do I find out how much disk TSM is looking for to backup straight to disk? I looked on the system & saw that the dbf files added up to about 133G I have given it 200G. Or is there something else that could be pointing to tape instead of disk? I'm running TSM 5.2.1.2 on AIX 5.1. The client is running TSM 5.1.5.11 & TDP Oracle ver 2.2.0.1 with Oracle 8.1.7.4.
