Logan,

I also noticed that you're using 3.1.2.30 of ADSM. This version was
withdrawn by IBM due to severe problems with expiration. I suggest that you
upgrade to at least 3.1.2.40 or alternatively downgrade to 3.1.2.20 (unless
you require specific device support included in 3.1.2.40). If you don't do
this soon, your ADSM database will start growing at a scarey rate.

        Hi ADSMers.

        To backup the db, I issued the following commands on the server
console:
        adsm>
        delete volh todate=today type=dbbackup

        then

        adsm>
        backup db dev=7331_lib1 type=full vol=backup
        ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: BACKUP DB
dev=7331_lib1
        type=full vol=backup
        ANR0984I Process 35 for DATABASE BACKUP started in the BACKGROUND at

        Could anyone tell me what is the problem.

        Thank you.
