Hi, we have the same problem last year. The default for the db2 backup have changed. In the past the backup for the db2 full online/offlien backup was with "exclude logs" This have changed to "include logs".
After every full backup, the db2 instanz retrieve every recoverylog from the tsm-server have created at the time the backup runs. Use "exclude logs" Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Michael Garnebode ITSM Administrator Integrated Technology Delivery, Geo Service Delivery CC Rechenzentrum Phone: +49-2132-131 x355 IBM Deutschland Mobile: +49-171-1783561 Marienburger Strasse 28 E-Mail: garne...@de.ibm.com 40667 Meerbusch IBM Deutschland Mittelstand Services GmbH / Geschäftsführung: Ulrich Hüllhorst, Torsten Beyer Sitz der Gesellschaft: Neuss / Registergericht: Amtsgericht Neuss, HRB 6940 Thomas Denier <thomas.den...@je FFERSONHOSPITAL.O To RG> ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu Sent by: "ADSM: cc Dist Stor Manager" Subject <ads...@vm.marist [ADSM-L] Retrieves during DB2 .edu> backups 18.06.2010 20:26 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ads...@vm.marist .edu> We have about a dozen TSM client systems with DB2 running under x86 Linux. These systems use the TSM API interface built into DB2 to back up the DB2 databases. We always use separate node names for DB2 backups and ordinary file backups. About half of the DB2 servers are using the 5.5.1.0 level of the TSM API. Most of these are more or less regularly retrieving archived files during DB2 backups. All of the retrieves come from the node names dedicated to DB2 backups. We have two systems that have done retrieves every day for the last thirty days, four that have done retrieves on some but not all of the last 30 days, and one 5.5.1.0 client that has not done a retrieve within the last 30 days. None of the DB2 servers with older API code have done retrieves during the past 30 days. OS levels for the DB2 servers performing retrieves are a mixture of 2.4.21-27 and 2.6.18-16. OS levels for the other DB2 servers are a mixture of the same two levels. Our TSM server runs under mainframe Linux. The problem was first noticed with the TSM server code at 5.4.2.0 and has continued after a recent upgrade to 5.5.4.0. Is there a way to stop the retrieves?
