The scenario...

 

Everything was expiring normally and daily via the 5 days I had set in
DRM. I do not run a 'delete volhist type=db' command.

 

I changed the db backup to begin running db snapshots instead of fulls,
on 2 separate TSM instances.

 

The database backups stopped expiring.

 

I changes the db backup back to fulls.

 

I see no improvement. I ran the 'set drmdbb' command again, but it
doesn't appear that I'm having any luck turning the volumes that should
be expired to a status of vaultretrieve. 

 

Has anyone seen this behavior before? I'd like to go ahead and get some
of these back, because they are going offsite, and I am cutting it close
on LTO2's.

 

God bless you!!!
