I run TSM 4.2 on Solaris 8. I was in the process of converting all of the
diskpool volumes from OS mounted files to raw partitions to fix some performance
issues we have been experiencing with backups when I hit a little problem. I disabled
sessions and allowed migration to run to completion. All volumes in the diskpool were
listed at 0% util. I was able to delete all volumes except 1, it claimed there was
still data in it. Still showed 0% for the volume doing a q vol, but I ran an audit on
the volume, it said that there was no data in it. I restarted the server, still
claimed there was data in there. I tried "del vol /tsmdata1/data1 discardd=yes", no
effect, guess that option does not work for devices of type DISK?
Now comes the point where I did something I probably shouldn't have. I
stopped TSM again, deleted the file at the OS level, unmounted the partition,
restarted TSM, and defined this last volume using the raw partition (others I had
already done). This all worked fine, but I still have this dangling volume that it of
course can't mount so it's offline.Still getting "ANS8001I Return code 13" when I try
to delete the volume. Log says:
10/22/03 20:26:51 ANR2406E DELETE VOLUME: Volume /tsmdata4/data1 still
contains data.
Any suggestions on how I can nuke this volume once and for all. I realize I might
have lost a few files if this volume did in fact contain some data, but I am not that
concerned abou that right now. Thanks!
