Tape Reclamation Problem / Auditdb

Hi TSM Server v5.3.3.1 Running on AIX I have a problem where an offsite volume continues to be reclaimed many times, even though it's utilization is 0% and pct_reclaimable space is 0%. The reclaim process starts then ends, the starts again etc. Been doing that for the last 3 days. On the IBM

Jeff, Yes, the audit db is an off-line command so your TSM server will be down. For a 180GB db, that could be a while. I don't know for sure on a targeted audit like this, however. Might be shorter than I am accustomed to and I'm sure others will weigh in. Keep your fingers crossed. Maybe

I remember doing an auditdb on a 120gb db and after 60 hours, based on the number of 4k pages processed, it was about 40% complete. That was on a TSM server running on z/os. So yes, I am hoping that the audit vol has cured. But our design team are asking for an estimate on how long the dsmserv

We did a similar audit on the storage pools. It ran about 4 hours on a 100GB DB on AIX. I do not know what the difference is between what we did, but there is hope. If your DB and log are on a SAN you might be able make a copy and practice. Andy Huebner -Original Message- From:

If all the data is truly off the volume its normally faster to just delete the volume with discarddata=yes. I've had volumes get kind of hung like this, never quite figured out why, however, querying the contents shows nothing, and percent util, and reclaim are both 0%. So, I could never quit

Library manager/library conundrum

I'm guessing this is because the library put the tape in the wrong drive, or a different drive than the client-server is looking at. Check your element addresses in Q DRIVE and the device names in your paths on the library-manager-server. At 12:27 PM 10/2/2008, Mark Stapleton wrote: As I said,

Correct and there shouldn't be any paths on the client systems. Only the library manager needs the paths. You need to setup paths from the library manager to itself and then to the other library clients. We are using this setup with 19 TSM instances accessing a TS3500 library and two library
