Hi Bill, Yes you will be able to restore the database from online backup but before online db restore you must restore db logs that have been active during online backup into log_dir directory and after restore you must rollforward db to end of logs .for successful restore you need only

Re: DB Volume Reorg using Delete DBVOLUME

I have tried this, and I observed the same thing as Wayne. DELETE DBVOLUME will not force any reorganization. It runs too fast to be attempting any beneficial reorganization. It just moves whole pages, without regard to what parts of the B-tree shrubbery are in them. But also I have not seen it

Re: q act says *No match found*

Hard to tell whats going on. Is this a fresh install of TSM? What version? What platform is it? Do a 'q stat' and check to see what your activity log retention period is.. It is possible to set the ACTLOGRETENTION to 0, thereby turning it off. hope this helps, bob On Sat, Sep 21, 2002 at

Re: RAW volumes or not

I have used both on AIX, and really have never seen a difference either way. I use LVM raw volumes for both, since I find them easier to deal with. TSM mirrors the database/log volumes, and AIX mirrors the storage pool volumes. TSM V5 can utilize AIO for JFS under with AIX, and this is a

Re: RAW volumes or not

There have been recommendations to never use VxFS for TSM Database and Storage Volumes posted on this list that I never quite understood. However, I am suspecting that the issue has to do with setting up VxFS correctly, similar to the file system maxperm issues on AIX. I am not sure how JFS and

Re: q act says *No match found*

I have seen this problem before. When I saw it, it was because we had tape drives getting a lot of fibre channel SCSI errors and causing all kinds of locking apparently. You may want to check to make sure something like that is not happening. Paul D. Seay, Jr. Technical Specialist Naptheon
