If the DB is 133GB and the disk pool has 200GB available you are good regardless. This is given your management class points to the disk storage pool first. Otherwise you have one or both of the following issues. (1) The disk pool is 100% utilized at the time of the backup, and the NEXT pool is set to a tape pool. -OR- (2) The files are larger than the MAXSIZE threshold set on the disk pool. Do you have a threshold set on the disk pool? Are the individual DB files larger than the threshold? TSM doesn't forecast how much disk or tape space the given backup will require before starting. The backup simply starts and fills the destination devices that are configured for the management class in use. If the first device in line is disk the backup will be sent to disk until either the disk pool fills or the backup completes. If the disk pool fills to 100% TSM will move onto the next defined (could be disk or tape or other) storage pool.

I'm trying to give enough disk to my Oracle backups but have not been successful. My management classes point to disk. How do I find out how much disk TSM is looking for to backup straight to disk? I looked on the system & saw that the dbf files added up to about 133G I have given it 200G. Or is there something else that could be pointing to tape instead of disk? I'm running TSM 5.2.1.2 on AIX 5.1. The client is running TSM 5.1.5.11 & TDP Oracle ver 2.2.0.1 with Oracle 8.1.7.4.
