We upgraded recently from ADSM 3.1.0 to Tivoli 3.7.0 on 12/10/2000, the operating
system is AIX 3.7.
Our expiration process that is scheduled daily is not expiring as many backup objects
as it was prior to the upgrade.
The library is split to accommodate backup and archives. The 3494 library is full and
we have had to remove primary backup storage pool volumes from the library to
accommodate the request for scratch volumes. The issue of purchasing additional
library space is not an option at this time.
Archived files have never been set to expire, we keep all versions indefinitely.
Backup files should be expired with various versions being kept on various servers.
Does anyone know the reason that we should be experiencing this sort of behavior?
Below are examples of expiration processes before and after the upgrade.
