Hello,

I don't see that you would have any problem with unload and load db.
However, if you want to be more secure then backup you database before
starting unload and load exercise. In case, you get into some trouble then
you can restore you database.

Hi,
I achieved to define my external 8mm tape drive as a drive and manual
library.
Now the point is: How risky is unloading the db and loading again?
Does anybody have experience about troubles I may have?
Best Regards,
Burak

Hi

You don't have to use a manual library, a 3583 library will work.

Hi,
The TSM documentation says that I can do unloaddb with only a manual
library.
How can i do it with
a 3583 LTO library? Is it possible to use my external 8mm tape drive?
Thank you very much to all
Regards,
Burak

Burak,

In that case, you have to unload the database and then reload it using
dsmserv unloaddb and dsmserv loaddb commands. So that your database is
reorganized and takes minimum space to distribute itself. I hope, after
doing unload and load database you will enough database space to reduce
and
then delete the database volume as per your wish.

But I can reduce it only 60 MBs although it is only 23 percent used?

Burak,

You have assigned all the database space available to the TSM Server. You
have to reduce the database size at least up to the size of the volume you
want to delete. When you use Delete dbvolume <volume_name> command the
data
already existing in that volume then automatically get moved to the other
volume. The bottom line is that you have to reduce equivalent size of the
assigned database space before deleting the volume. Reduce the Database
volume using this command,

REDUCE DB <SIZE_IN_MEGABYTE>
