Hi
My next storage pool for DISKPOOL is the OVERFLOW storage pool. It is
backed up to Offsite daily as with DISKPOOL. I guess I am covered in the
interim then.
Thanks for your assistance.
Regards,
Adrian Compton

The file system is an Enhanced JFS2 file system. It is 1.15TB. It is on
a EMC SAN, and mounted as /backup on the TSM LPAR. It consists of a
number of LUNS on the EMC SAN. It contains all of our DISKPOOLS. My logs
are now fine as I allocated more log space using dsmfmt and the TSM
Server could restart. My Logs andTSM DB's are on seperate filesystem
i.e /usr After rebooting the LPAR, AIX wont mount the filesystem because
of a superblock error. We have determined that an FSCK is running, and
apparently this can take days on a large file system.
I see now that we should have a large Raw Logical Volume to overcome
these contraints.
To keep Tivoli running we have had to exclude this FS (/backup/) from
mounting, but are now running without the DISKPOOL. Hence my question
about the OVERFLOW storage pool automatically becoming the recipient in
place of the DISKPOOL without having to change any parameters.
Apologies for my explanation, but I have only been working with TSM for
5 months now although I have training behind me.
Thanks in advance.

You're not giving us enough information to understand what the actual
problem is there. Disk storage pool space and Recovery Log space are
very different things and very much should be in very different places,
having different service and recovery needs, including mirroring for the
TSM database and recovery log.
With AIX, you should ideally be using Raw Logical Volumes, as described
in the Admin Guide and other TSM documentation, such as the Performance
Tuning Guide. This will eliminate all the file system issues and
greatly facilitate disaster recovery. Always thoroughly review vendor
configuration recommendations before proceeding with an implementation.
And always implement monitoring, to avoid needless disruptions like
this.
Again, I won't add further recommendations, absent the solid information
needed to provide proper guidance.
