On one of our Version 6 TSM servers the amount of space used by the LGTMPTSP table space is nearly constant for most of the day, but rises sharply starting around 8:30 PM and drops back to normal by 9:30 PM. The increase in usage has ranged from 7 to 15 GB lately. On some days the file system containing that table space fills up and the server crashes (even though it has substantial amounts of free space in other database file systems).
We rarely have any processes running at the time of the surge. We have client backups running at that time, but have not been able to find any unusual client activity that is correlated with the surge. We are not using deduplication. The TSM server is at the 6.2.5.0 code level and runs under SLES 11 SP1 on zSeries hardware. We opened a problem ticket with IBM earlier today, and have just received a request for an assortment of log files. Thomas Denier Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
