The first version of the script did not account for file names containing spaces. Now file names will be written with quotes around them. Also, the script does not traverse subdirectories. While that might be easily done, you can also use a batch file to wrap the script. New version of script: =

How may disks are in the vg for the db? How many disk are in the vg for the mirror of the db? How big are the disk drives? I assume that when you watch topas you see very high wait-for-I/O percent and little actual cpu being used. Does a iostat show even activity on the disks for db and log?

Hi Peter! A delete volume runs as fast (or as slow) as a delete filespace. Actually, it does the very same thing: delete every single object from the database one by one. If the node had it's own tapes, you could mark all it's tapes in both the primary pool and the copy pool destroyed and let do

You can define an additional copy pool, use the define volume command to assign the volume to the new pool, then backup a primary storage pool to the new pool. Since this is an additional copy pool, you can delete the volume when done testing. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Man
