I'm finding that what I know about how the DB works in 5.5 doesn't really equal how it works in 6.1. On a Linux box I brought up to migrate clients to a 6.1 server I created a 20GB log and 100GB DB. There 'will be' about 150 nodes moved to this instance but currently about 20 are backing up. My 5.5 server, on AIX 5.3, has a 125GB DB about 50% used, a 11GB log and it backs up 500+ clients per day with no issues.
Last nights backup on the new box is telling me there is no more space in the database so backups are failing. After backing up systems for 30 days? I find that way out of whack from how 5.5 works and it seems to be telling me I need more than 10 times the space to keep 6.1 up. I can't believe 20 computers have eaten up 100GB of DB space in such a short period of time. I have a case open with IBM to discuss but I'm wondering what others are finding that are using 6.1. Perhaps I'm missing something in my setup that is causing the problem (I hope) because if not I don't want to even think about how much disk I have to add to the current box so I can upgrade it and make it run with the 400+ systems that will stay on it. Anyone else seeing this or have an idea what I may have missed? Geoff Gill TSM/PeopleSoft Administrator SAIC M/S-B1P 4224 Campus Pt. Ct.
