Re: logpinned

I think that if the log is growing, it's from other sessions that are
still running.  You should be able to cancel those without delay.
Before I halt a server, I always try to cancel all the active sessions and
give it 10-15 minutes to free up, while monitoring the log.
Seems to work for me.

Shawn

It may well be that the log isn't 'supposed" to grow but that isn't what
I experienced. I ended up halting TSM and restarting as I did not want
to take a chance that it would fill completely even though I do have
headroom to extend the log further.

The administrator of the server tells me he stopped all TSM services
that were running but that didn't seem to cancel the sessions either,
and I thought it would. If it was supposed to then I'd have to question
the system he was on.

Take a look also at the 'show logpinned cancel' command if that's not what you 
used to cancel the session - sometimes it's helpful.  If that doesn't work then 
halting the server will do the trick, but that's not the most tidy or 
convenient way... assuming you're about to run out of log and crash anyway...

but the log won't grow any more from the session while it is rolling back.

[ADSM-L] logpinned






For the past 2 days something has been screwing up backups by filling
the log and this morning I remembered the show logpinned command and
found the server that is causing it. I've cancelled the session but as
far as I know am at the mercy of TSM to kill it at some point. I
contacted the administrator and they shut down the services but the
sessions still seem to hang out there.
