Jin,

Try query volhist type=backupset SEE QUERY VOLHIST COMMAND for all
options!!!!

TSM only supports device classes for optical & worm as far as I know.

Subject: backupset volumes


Hi, TSMers,

We are running TSM 4.2 on AIX4.3.3 and I have 2 questions that couldn't
find answers from books.

1.  Now that I started to generate backupsets for several nodes, but I
couldn't tell which volumes belong to which node when 'q libvol'. The
server shows only 'backupset' and when 'q vol xxxxxxxx f=d', it doesn't
give any info about vol of backupset. I plan to take them to off-site,
but when it expires (30 days), how I do know which need to come back to
on-site? Any recommendation for managing volumes of backupsets?


2.  Does TSM supports to generate backupset or client image backup on
DVD-ROM? My clients wouldn't fit on 1 or 2 regular CD-ROM.

Thanks for your expertise!!
