Richard Sims mentioned the Select under the heading "Copy Storage Pool up to date?" in ADSM.QuickFacts.
Very useful, thank you. I tried it (immediately after running backup stgpool) and got -14 So, I've got 14 files in my copy storage pool that are not in the primary pools. Some Select commands later, I have now a list of these 14 files. Checking the client I see that a) they are still on disk, b) dsmc q backup tells me they are backup up, c) if I try to access them with dsmc restore the server wants to mount a tape from the copy storage pool. My first idea was to run a "restore stgpool <name> preview=yes" for all relevant primary storage pools. All these processes end with Files restored: 0, Bytes restored: 0 Any advice on what I should do now? I can think of several things to try, namely: - Delete the copy pool volume where the extra files reside, in the hope that the 14 files will be backed up in the next incremental backup. I hesitate to do this. - Run "dsmc selective" on those files. - Open a call with TSM support. I had a database consistency problem a few days after the files in question were backup up. It was resolved by TSM support then.
