Hi David,

Keep in mind, that archive will follow (if ARCHSYMLinkasfile is not specified) 
symbolic links. So, retrieve command will recreate files instead of symlinks. 

Cordialement,
Christophe Copin

Objet : [ADSM-L] Retrieve issue in nearly full filesystem - any ideas?

Hi All,
 
I'm performing a restore of some users data from their production
environment into their test environment with the aim of testing their
restore processes and also refreshing their test environment with some
current data.
 
However, I'm coming up against a puzzling issue resulting in 'Ran out of
disk space trying to Retrieve xyz' that I'm wondering if anyone else may
have seen, or may have some pointers that the sysadmins or myself might
be able to take a look at.
 
Platform: Solaris (source server = Solaris 8, target server = Solaris
10)
TSM Clients: source server = 5.1.6.2, target server = 5.3.2.2
FS: VxFS
 
The source filesystems are *very* full indeed, and are backed up by
separate 'dsmc archive' operations for each individual Oracle database
file contained in the filesystem (which is less than ideal, I know -
unfortunately I'm not here to re-write their backup and restore scripts,
just to test them). For example, a source filesystem on the production
server looks like this:
 
source $ df -k /oradata/SEN/dsk27
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/oradata_ppds_dg/oradatavol25
                     2498560 2491768    6744   100%
/oradata/SEN/dsk27
$
$ fstyp -v /dev/vx/dsk/oradata_ppds_dg/oradatavol25

The same filesystem on their target restore server looks like this:

(this just after the retrieve failure - hence 0 kbytes available in df
-k and the 'incomplete' file .smo_data_week58_01.dbf in the target, and
the links hadn't been created yet)
 
So, the target filesystem (which was completely empty prior to the
restore attempt), is actually marginally larger than the source
filesystem, yet a restore of the objects still failed with an out of
space error (on the last file to be restored) as per the below:

I'm out of ideas from a TSM point of view at the moment - as far I know
there should be no overhead when TSM BA Client performs a retrieve
operation - there is no compression or encryption here from a TSM point
of view either.
 
Does anyone have any ideas where I should be looking next?
 
Many thanks,
