I am having a problem deleting some old volhist entries where the target was a device class of file.
"q volhist type=dbb" output shows 3 old entries from when I was playing around with "File Device Class" and did a few "backup db devclass=FILE_DEVCLASS type=full" commands. Here is a sample volhist entry: Date/Time: 03/30/05 16:41:09 Volume Type: BACKUPFULL Backup Series: 405 Backup Operation: 0 Volume Seq: 1 DEVICE CLASS: FILE_DEVCLASS Volume Name: /tsm/filelib/12218869.DBB Volume Location: Command: The "q drm" output shows the proper DBB tapes that are in the state of Vault and my virtual volumes DBB with the state Remote. All these volumes are properly going to pending and then deleted after the 7 day DB Backup Series Expiration. I would have expected the same result for the database backups in question but they seem to want to stick around for some reason. None of the DBB to the FILE_DEVCLASS show up in "q drm" which I take as a good sign. When I try to run "delete volhist todate='04/30/2005' type=dbb devclass=FILE_DEVCLASS" I get the error "ANR6978E DELETE VOLHISTORY: Invalid device class FILE_DEVCLASS". I run "q devclass FILE_DEVCLASS f=d" and the devclass still exists. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ed "This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information.
