Hi, after UNLOADDB/LOADDB the size of our db changed from 7.1 GB to 4.8GB. Performance is much better now: EXPIRE INVENTORY changed from 35K entries/hour to 105K entries/hour. Cache hit rate went up to about 98%. Our db was 15 months old. I think a reorg after a version upgrade is a good thing.

Thanks to all who responded to my problem. Defragmenting the database using UNLOADDB/LOADDB seemed to solve my problem. Adjusting some settings in DSMSERV.OPT and installing the newest 4.2 client further improved performance. Thanks for your support! Kind regards Thomas Rupp ---

Hi TSM-ers, I've got a 3590 cartridge that gave me read errors so I couln't copy the data to a copy storage pool. What do you do with such tapes? Do you throw them away? Do initialize them? If yes how? Kind regards Thomas Rupp Vorarlberger Illwerke AG MAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TEL:++43/5574/

This is a primary storage pool tape (all of our TDP for SAP R/3 backups go directly to tape). The backup was successful but making a copy to the copy storage pool resulted in a read error. I moved all other data to a different tape volume, deleted the faulty tape and discarded the remaining data.

Thanks for your response! Our TSM server is a NSM (Network Storage Manager) - actually a H50 box. This is intended to be a black box (all upgrades are done by IBM) but I get the impression that I should get familiar with AIX and all those other things I need to write CGI programs (PERL or PHP ...)
