If you know that a suspect file is being moved (reclaim, not backup stgpool), use this command with the volser of the source tape: query content VOLSER count=1 f=d That will show you the node, file name, size, and a few other details on the first file on the volume, which is the one being moved.

Hi Eric, we use the following steps to identify large files in last nights backup: Step 1 - Query the volumes used in last nights backup select volume_name as Volume, stgpool_name as Stgpool, date(last_write_date) as "Date", - time(last_write_date) as "Time" from volumes where - last_write_dat

I see no failure. What I see is that your client is taking quite long to find a changed file, so it needs to reconnect the data session (usually a different session from the 'control session that is used to download the list of active files from the server). You could increase the idletimeout sett

Hi Richard! Thanks you very much for your help! Indeed it's the worst of all. I just did a select * from contents where volume_name='just on of my volumes' on my very small test environment. Output is returned quite fast, but as soon as you hit c to cancel the output, you loose the cursor for sever

Eric - File size (actually, Aggregate size) is in the Contents table - which is the worst of all TSM database tables to have to trawl. If you must, do so with as fully qualified search as possible, to minimize sequential traversals. An alternative would be to inspect tapes recently used by the

Hi *SM-ers! We are using a EMC Disk Library (virtualizing a LTO tape library) for quite some time now. Since tape mount and data seek times are about two seconds on such a device, we have collocation tuned off for the storage pools. Every now and then customers call me because they started a restor
