Might it be that the new antivirus program touches each file, marking it

Hi Reggie!
This is because you don't want TSM to expire Oracle backup objects.
Oracle does not rely on TSM for backup cataloging. It uses it's own: the
Oracle Recovery Catalog. When you initiate a restore on a Oracle client, it
connects to the Oracle Recovery Catalog and it uses information in

The only thing I have seen similar is when a NFS filespace is unmounted one

expire the first night and then completely backup the next.

Peter,
I think I remember seeing where someone scheduled a job on the
server to do this. The job would loop checking to see if a certain event
had completed. Once the observed event is complete, the server job can
perform the backup. Searching adsm.org might find more information.
Hi,
I'd suggest to move it to it's own filesystem placed on an redundant disk
array, enjoying high performance and recoverability.
We placed our database volumes on an ESS subsystem. Where you place it is

Brenda,
As it's in /opt/ can I assume it is a SUN box.
In AIX, best practices is to setup the DB and LOGS on a separate
filesystem, preferably spreading mirrors of each across separate
spindles.
The default DB and LOG is installed to get the server up and running,
and is normally far too
I suppose you could break out the dsmcadm in a separate file with just execute
permission by the dba userid, then pass the command to it in the db2 backup
script.or you could run the db2 backup script as root.
[backup] /home/root/bin # more dsmcmd
dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=password
On NT Clients, changing file and directory permissions will cause a full backup of
every file changed.

All,
Bill thank you for the information about adsmpipe.
I have downloaded this utility and compiled it after several tries.
Initially when I ran it, it failed since it could not find

With the 3583 and TSM on Win2k, the drives use the IBM device driver located
at ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Win2000/
Once you've installed the driver and configured the drives to use this
driver, you should be able to see the drives under the TSM Management

Brenda,
The procedures can be found in the Server Administrators Guide.
Steps as follows.
Create space on filesystem (Nothing to do with TSM)
Use dsmfmt to create the DB files in the area you want.

Create DB volumes pointing to the files you just created,
Extend DB
Remove DB
Wow! Steve, that sounds like.. um.. fun?!

You need to set DSMI_DIR and DSMI_CONFIG, I think.
