When I moved over from Mainframe to midrange a very long time ago, I was used to the old mainframe TMS/CA-1 tape management software. Never understood why TSM did not implement a scratch pool as in that product to keep track of its scratch tapes, even if just to keep the usage stats. I too have

Hi Stefan, You don't need to configure Servermon, at least not the built-in version included at 8.1.7 and above. It's your choice to run it or not and you can also use "setopt alwaysonservermon off" to stop it. However, I'd recommend you address the warning rather than stop it altogether

Thanks Skylar. I noticed it was possible to inactive by running "tdpsqlc inactivate " but the problem from our TSM side is that we don't notice these things and doing regular investigations into this matter is a chore. Wondered if there could be some settings or other tricks to automate this.

A few ways to do it: 1. Run a full incremental backup on the node after the database is removed 2. Use the client-side EXPIRE command with a list of paths to mark inactive 3. If the entire node is going away, use the server-side DECOMMISSION NODE command (take note of the caveats in the

It depends on the signal you use. A standalone "kill" or a "kill -15" yes. That's called SIGTERM, all it does is send a termination signal to the process. https://major.io/2010/03/18/sigterm-vs-sigkill/ - Thanks, Marc... Marc Lanteigne

Hi Eric, Just like Zoltan said, you really need to prevent a kill of TSM. This will leave the DB2 database in an inconsistent state and thus result in a DB2 crash recovery which can indeed be a lengthy process. Just use a halt to stop TSM and the DB2 database will be closed properly. Kind
