I noticed some strange data. I never paid attention to it before, but now that I noticed it, I find it is the same across all of our TSM instances. Is there any reason that STGPOOL backups and Migrations would only process about half the quantity of data that is reported to be backed up?
They are all AIX/TSM 5.4.4 and ALL nodes have "Compression = no" at the server level - Quantity of data backed up last night on one small system was 140 GB. (I manually confirmed this by adding up all the "Total number of bytes transferred" numbers from the actlog) select sum(bytes) from summary where activity='BACKUP' and cast((current_timestamp-END_TIME)days as integer)<1 - Storage pool backups, which run after the client backups only transferred 68GB (confirmed from adding up the ANR0986I messages from the actlog) select sum(bytes) from summary where activity='STGPOOL BACKUP' and cast((current_timestamp-END_TIME)days as integer)<1 (And yes, I did verify we are backing up all the primary pools that the backup data could have possibly landed) - Migration also only transferred 68GB select sum(bytes) from summary where activity='MIGRATION' and cast((current_timestamp-END_TIME)days as integer)<1 Run these select statements on your server and see if you see the same thing.
