Is there something other than 'del volhist' that trims the volhist file? The oldest entries in my volhist are 30 days but if I search actlog I don't find any sign that a 'del volhist' command was run. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/13/05 9:31 AM >>> From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTEC

Using the "del volhist" command in conjunction with DRM may potentially cause deletion of DB backup tapes that are vaulted. Hence, TSM DRM will not process the volume via vault retrieve. If you do both, be sure your "DRM DB Backup Series Expiration Days" value in DRM is less than the TODate val

Yep, increasing the recovlog is doing the job. Thanks to all! Thanks for not just saying RTFM too. I really do plan to read it front2back when I get some time to do so. I need 3 months off just to read the 100 or so manuals I want to absorb better. A well planned setup saves time, I do know that. A

Alexander, TSM won't let you delete those volumes since they are all part of the most recent DB backup set. It appears that you are doing incremental DB backups at random times which indicates that the DB backup trigger is causing these backups. The DB backup trigger happens when the log space star

Is your database in "roll forward" mode or normal? If it's in roll forward, what's your database backup trigger set at? You may simply be filling the log to the trigger, making incremental backups happen. If this is what's happening, maybe you could expand the size of your log? [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Alex - You need to follow through by doing: Query VOLHistory Type=DBBackup It may be that all the dbbackups are in the same, latest series, and the last series must remain. And, certainly, you need to look into why all the dbbackup tapes are being produced. They are probably incrementals, suggesti

It would help if we could see the output of the following command: q volh t=dbb It might be that this is the most recent DB backup in which case it won't let you delete it. -- Regards, Mark D. Rodriguez President MDR Consulting, Inc. =
