Can't unload the DB

Hi all, I need to optimize the TSM db so i unload the db but it failed. I've tried to audit the db and then unload it again but it also can fix the problem. Does anyone have a idea to solve this problem. The following is the error statement of dsmserv unloaddb devclass=dltclass4 vol=adsm02.

Re: Server partitioning using TSM library sharing

Scott, you hit the bullseye - the main problem would be volumes. But not only ones used by single (deleted) node. The ones used by two nodes might be bigger problem. Let say volume CBA321 hold the data for both nodeA and nodeB, who will be the owner of the libvolume? Collocation is the key - so

Besides the more academic question, whether a B-tree plus SQL interface is a relational DB, the more interesting point for me is the fact, that this SQL interface is incomplete. It e.g. does not tell me, on which volume a specific backup copy of a file is lying. (It tells me all the volumes that

Mike, thanks for the reply. You said that when I backup the 6th time the 1st backup will go away. Can you explain how the incrementals fit in the equation? I understand that a backup copy group is using versions to retain files. What if 1 DB(file) changes daily and is daily backed up

Whew, being mighty bold but you ~might~ be able to get it to work... I'd do everything with the library NOT available to the system, this MIGHT allow you to clean out references to volumes not used on each system without causing them to roll scratch. Even if you do this you will still need to go

Re: AW: AIX Upgrade with TSM

I would certainly say that you are increasing your chances for problems by upgrading two things at once. It is so much simpler to diagnose problems if you only upgrade one at a time - do TSM separately from AIX. Roger Deschner University of Illinois at Chicago [EMAIL PROTECTED] Believe

Matt, I had a similar problem and called support; level 2 explained why region=0M is bad. TSM takes the JCL region size and getmains a small fraction of that to use for a cellpool. The object of the cellpool is to avoid doing getmains and freemains. When it sees 0M a too small default cellpool

This is the correct behavior starting with the 5.1 client. Have you looked up message ANS1902E? It explains what you are seeing. Also, check out the client manual, chapter 7 Automating Tasks, section Return Codes from the Command Line Interface. This information applies to the scheduler as well.
