vary volume online..
Hello all, during disk storage pools reorganization I did a mistake; I was splitting few huge disk volumes into smaller pieces. Unfortunately, I didn't take notice to the error RC during deletion one of them (later I found that the deletion was unsuccessfull due to the known problem when deleting a volume that looks like empty but there are orphaned entries in the database that prevents volume's ID from being removed from TSM database) and deleted the file from filesystem afterwards. At that time I was not aware of any problem, so everything looked good for me.. When I found out that the removal of the volume was unsuccessfull I tried to perform steps mentioned on the list recently (delete volume xxx discard=yes, aud vol xxx fix=yes) but did not succeed. At that time server was at the 4.2.1.11 level (AIX 4.3.3 ML9). I got an idea of varying the volume offline and deleting it. Did not work aswell, because issuing audit volume requires the volume to be online, so I tried to vary it back online (please note, that the original file does not exist in the filesystem anymore) which results in ANR7807W (unable to get information for file xxx). So I issued dsmftm to format the proper volume which was successfull. Again, vary online results in ANR1315E (invalid label block). Neither upgrade to the latest level (4.2.1.15) did not help to resolve this problem. Any ideas how to get rid of the disk volume ? Either by bringing it back to the online state or staying offline? Below are some queries that might help you.. tsm: TSMq vol /tsm/storage_pools/disk_unix_backup.01 Volume Name Storage Device EstimatedPct Volume Pool NameClass Name Capacity Util Status (MB) --- -- - - --- - /tsm/storage_pools/disk- DISK_UNIX_- DISK 0.00.0 Off-Line _unix_backup.01 BACKUP ___ tsm: TSMvary onl /tsm/storage_pools/disk_unix_backup.01 ANR2210I Vary online initiated for disk volume /tsm/storage_pools/disk_unix_backup.01. tsm: TSMq ac begint=-0:01 Date/TimeMessage --- --- 04/15/02 13:51:28 ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: VARY ONLINE /tsm/storage_pools/disk_unix_backup.01 04/15/02 13:51:28 ANR2210I Vary online initiated for disk volume /tsm/storage_pools/disk_unix_backup.01. 04/15/02 13:51:28 ANR1315E Vary-on failed for disk volume /tsm/storage_pools/disk_unix_backup.01 - invalid label block. tsm: TSMaud vol /tsm/storage_pools/disk_unix_backup.01 fix=yes ANR2311W This command will discard any inventory references to volume /tsm/storage_pools/disk_unix_backup.01 associated with missing or inconsistent stored data, thereby rendering the data unrecoverable; the valid data on the volume will be inaccessible to users until the operation completes.

Volume being Migrated/Reclaimed not working ?
Hi all, anyone noticed of Volume being Migrated/Reclaimed field being blank after issuing command 'q stg seq pool f=d' (and reclamation is running) ? I noticed this when I wanted to find out which volume was being reclaimed when offsite reclamation was in progress. Look below (4.2.1.11 server on AIX 4.3.3 ML8): tsm: TSMq pr Process Process Description Status Number -- --- 810 Space ReclamationOffsite Volume(s) (storage pool 3570_COPY_UNIX), Moved Files: 862, Moved Bytes: 1,012,481,096, Unreadable Files: 0, Unreadable Bytes: 0. Current Physical File (bytes): 118,663 Current input volume: 992ACR. Current output volume: CPY122. tsm: TSMq stg 3570_COPY_UNIX f=d Storage Pool Name: 3570_COPY_UNIX Storage Pool Type: Copy Device Class Name: 3570CLASS Estimated Capacity (MB): 92,608,707.3 . . .
