So, at one of my client sites I noticed that the Active log filesystem is sitting at 82% full. This is not normal for this TSM server. Looking in the filesystem I saw active logs going back four days. Checking the actlog shows that TSM db backups are still running properly every day, but just to be safe I ran two db backups in succession. No logs were removed.
I decided to keep an eye on it. What I see happening is that each morning when I look at it, there are still four days worth of logs, but the oldest logs are moving forward by a day. ie. when I looked on July 22, the oldest log was July 18. When I looked on July 23, the oldest log was July 19. Today, July 25, I see the oldest log is July 21. This strikes me as a bit bizarre. Anyone have any ideas? regards, Paul
