Eric, Oh, THAT bug. Yes, it bit us once as well when our hp-ux system lost its san connection to the file class luns and expiration went on its merry way, deleting scores of volumes from the tsm db, even though it could not actually touch the underlying filesystem. That was a fun weekend of scripting up some very challenging 'sync' routines to expose and delete the os 'ghost' files. Definitely deserves an apar...
I am moving us in the direction of pre-defined (zero scratch) rather than dynamic volumes for these pools for that very reason.

No, that's not what I'm seeing. I have seen that TSM does not handle allocation failures properly. I removed file volumes and directories after creation and started a new backup. This backup runs into a rc 2 (File or directory not found) which is correct, but the volumes are never updated to read-only or, better yet, unavailable. Also, TSM forever keeps on trying to create new files in the non existing path. I have not tried pre-defined file volumes yet, hopefully TSM handles them better, otherwise we maybe have to reconsider our design. That's definitely not what I want :-(( Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines -----Original Message----- From: Jurjen Oskam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 11:21 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Enabling caching to shorten housekeeping On Fri, Jan 14, 2005 at 10:06:49AM +0100, Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM wrote: > We only ran into a nasty bug when using the file device class, so I > hope IBM > will turn my PMR in an APAR and fix it as soon as possible... Let me guess: FILE volumes only store a tiny bit of data before (incorrectly) encountering end-of-volume? At least, that is the problem I'm encountering. -- Jurjen Oskam "E-mail has just erupted like a weed, and instead of considering what to say when they write, people now just let thoughts drool out onto the screen." - R.
