I'm still at a loss....
Here is my setup:

Mgmt Class:
Policy Domain Name C1_ORA_AGENT
Policy Set Name ACTIVE
Mgmt Class Name C1_ORACLE_MGMT_CLASS
Default Mgmt Class ? No
Description C1 Oracle Agent MGMT Class
Space Management Technique NONE
Auto-Migrate on Non-Use 0
Migration Requires Backup? NO
Migration Destination C1_ORA_DISK_POOL

Backup Copy Group:
Policy Domain Name C1_ORA_AGENT
Policy Set Name ACTIVE
Mgmt Class Name C1_ORACLE_MGMT_CLASS
Copy Group Name STANDARD
Versions Data Exists 1
Versions Data Deleted 0
Retain Extra Versions 1
Retain Only Version 0
Copy Mode MODIFIED
Copy Serialization SHRSTATIC
Copy Frequency 0
Copy Destination C1_ORA_DISK_POOL

Disk Storage Pool:
Storage Pool Name C1_ORA_DISK_POOL
Storage Pool Type PRIMARY
Device Class Name DISK
Estimated Capacity (MB) 200272.0
Pct Util 15.8
Pct Migr 15.8
Pct Logical 100.0
High Mig Pct 90
Low Mig Pct 70
Migration Processes 4
Next Storage Pool C1_ORA_TAPE_POOL
Maximum Size Threshold -
Access READWRITE
Description C1 Oracle Disk Pool

When I look at the disk storage pool it is only 10-15% percent utilized.
Also the only migration I see is the one I do during my normal daily
processing.
Any more ideas?



Thanks,

TSM does not lock the total required space for a backup in a storage
pool before the actual backup starts or while in progress. TSM fills
the defined devices for a management class in order of definition until
the storage pool is full or the backup completes. Fill your disks and
TSM moves on to the tape pool or some other defined device.

Bruce....

If the MAXSIZE threshold on your disk pool is set to 200GB (which is
excessive) and you have 133GB available there is no reason the backup
isn't ending up on disk. Double check your management class for both
the backup and archive copy pools. TDP for Oracle uses the 'BACKUP'
copy group which in your case should point to the disk pool. TDP does
not use the 'ARCHIVE' copy group. I have been bitten by this one in the
past.

Regards,

Greg
