Wanda, I don't have access to the dsmserv.opt, but I will discuss this with the admins tomorrow.
I don't think "ALLOWREORGTABLE NO" is turned on, because I have been seeing messages like: 05/12/2010 06:41:31 ANR0293I Reorganization for table Backup.Objects started. 05/12/2010 06:41:36 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused. 05/12/2010 07:10:31 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 07:19:48 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused. 05/12/2010 07:21:44 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 08:25:08 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused.(SESSION: 10542, PROCESS: 1) 05/12/2010 08:45:13 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 12:05:28 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused. 05/12/2010 12:08:03 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 12:09:28 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused. 05/12/2010 12:18:04 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 13:46:04 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused. 05/12/2010 13:46:44 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 13:51:45 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused. 05/12/2010 14:01:25 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 14:08:39 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused. 05/12/2010 15:02:09 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 15:16:38 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused. 05/12/2010 15:24:28 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 15:33:21 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused. 05/12/2010 15:36:31 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 15:36:43 ANR0000I Table reorganization for Backup.Objects paused.(SESSION: 13263, PROCESS: 16) 05/12/2010 15:56:33 ANR0000I Resuming table reorg after pause for Backup.Objects. 05/12/2010 18:16:22 ANR0294I Reorganization for table Backup.Objects ended. So, the reorg of that table ran off and on for 12 hours. There were pauses in it, but I can see how this would generate a lot of logs. Best Regards, John -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM 6.1 automatic database backups From: "Prather, Wanda" <wprat...@icfi.com> Date: Thu, May 13, 2010 7:42 pm To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU John, Make sure you have in the dsmserv.opt file: ALLOWREORGTABLE NO There is a bug in 6.1 that lets the automatic DB table reorgs go nuts with the log. 1) On one instance, each day a full TSM DB backup gets done, but within about 16-18 hours, the archive filesystem is filling up. The archive filesystem is 50GB, which is of course much bigger than it was under 5.5. We have only migrated a fraction of the TSM clients over to this instance, so I shudder to think how much archive space is going to be require when all the TSM clients are in place. Can anybody give me any tips on reducing the amount of log data that gets created so it doesn't fill up so fast? 2) I used "set drrecovery dbb_full" to point this to a FILE type devclass where we want the DB backups to go. According to the manual, this should cause the database to get automatically get backed up. But the manual is totally obscure about how full it is going to get before it kicks off the backup. It describes the vague criteria, but doesn't seem to give the admin any controls. We have seen it 98% full, and gave up and performed the 'backup db' manually. Can anybody give me more details than the manuals have about how this works and how to control it? Best Regards, John D.
