Using your example of \\server\folder\*.* I make the assumption that you

You are using a device class of FILE from what I see. TSM Treats the file

started writing to it, the FILE reached the max size specified for that
device class, and then closed the file.

did you change the asnode= option for the proxy datamover? If you are
using the same asnode= option, there should be no problem, but if you have

You could setup your tape library so that it is partitioned to use one

If you were to run those command at the DB2 level, they would work fine or
possible as a shell script ran from a TSM macro. There are limitations, as
you found out, when trying to run select statements from within TSM.

Just changing the share permissions would not cause the symptom that he is

When a NAS/NDMP backup start, there is a query from the datamover to the
TSM Server requesting space for the backup. It doesn't matter if you are
doing full's or incremental, the datamover uses that same storage
requirement for both.

you have 100TB of NAS used space total. To do a

Not sure what your retention looks like, but if you move the nodes to a
different domain with a different retention (smaller), then the data will
get bound to the new policy after a backup is performed and the new data

You cannot perform a normal incremental once you have performed a full

If you do not have the need to move non-container data into a container,

Just so we are on the same page about this, my understanding is that you

that is because the container (cloud or directory) manages deduplication.

This is a housekeeping type task that is performed, think of it like you
