I do not know how many dbbackup volume that you want to keep or want to delete. If you only have one dbbackup volume this can not be done. This is a fail safe.
Sias >From the Admin Ref. Manual, here is a basic syntax. delete dbvolume todate=<XX> TODate (Required) Specifies the date to use to select sequential volume history information to be deleted. TSM deletes only those records with a date on or before the date you specify. You can specify the data using one of the values below: MM/DD/YYYY A specific date 01/23/1999 TODAY The current date TODAY TODAY-days or -days The current date minus days specified. The maximum number of days you can specify is 9999. TODAY-30 or -30. To delete records that are 30 or more days old, you can specify TODAY-30 or simply -30. ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ---- On , jiangguohong1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > hi, > in our practice application,i have a question for tivoli storage manamger.the version of tsm software > that we used is 5.1.0.0,in order to protect tsm server database,we use the tsm administrator command > "backup db type=full devc=ltodevclass" to perform database full backup,the backup database located > into one scratch volume in ibm 3584 tape library,use the command "q libv" to check the upon scratch > volumes status that is dbbackup status.i want to let the dbbackup volume turn into scratch or private > volume, in other words,as normally > data backup.i use "del volh" and attemp to delete the dbbackup volume in the volume history file,but > i dont't delete the dbbackup volume. can you help me how to delete the dbbackup volume? > please write back me ASAP. > >
