Hi, On a stand-alone TSM configuration on an AIX server, we make a daily backupset of the data to keep a copy offsite. We use a retention of 6 days, so we can use 5 tapes for every weekday. The volumes we use have the names of the days.
We make the backupset by: generate backupset aix dinsdag devcl=7337cl vol=dinsdag ret=6 scratch=no Even after a delete backupset * the new backupset connot be made. q backupset no match found define backupset aix..... anr2405e Volume DINSDAG is currently in use... q volhist Date/Time: 19-09-2001 Volume Name: DINSDAG Command: generate backupset aix dinsdag devcl=7337cl vol=dinsdag ret=6 scratch=no The 6 days are over, ik cannot delete the records by delete volhist, there are no backupsets left, so the tape must be free and empty. The tape is checked in and private. It worked for 1 week... Can please anybody help? We have no backupsets left to use, so when something crashes, the problems are indefinate.
