Re: [ADSM-L] DBB not expiring

Joni,

Could it be that you have some script issuing a command like "delete
volhist todate=today-X type=dbbackup", having X < 20 (actual DRM setting
for DB backup expiration days) ?
If yes, then the volumes are left "orphaned" in DRM, and thus never
expiring, IIRC.

Cheers

Arnaud

Hi!

I have a new TSM server on an AIX 5.3 server at 5.5.1.1 and the database
backups are not expiring.  What should I double check to make sure that
this does occur?

I do have the following set up for DRM:

            Recovery Plan Prefix: /t01/dr/recoveryplans/
          Plan Instructions Prefix: /t01/dr/instructions/
        Replacement Volume Postfix: @
             Primary Storage Pools: NAS_TOC NAS_TOC_5YR NAS_TOC_7YR
TAPE_NDMP
                                     TAPE_NDMP_5YR TAPE_NDMP_7YR
                Copy Storage Pools: COPY_NDMP
       Not Mountable Location Name: NOTMOUNTABLE
                      Courier Name: Vital Records Inc
                   Vault Site Name: Vital Records Inc
  DB Backup Series Expiration Days: 20 Day(s)

Thanks in advance!
