Hi, 

this is a TSM defect in this version. The only way to reduce this space is 
doing 2 DB Backups. In any case, I suggest you upgrade to 6.1.3.2 

Regards,

Fran

Asunto: TSM Active Log --- Trouble

I am using TSM v6.1.2 on WIN 2003 R2 Server with 12 client nodes . The active 
log defined in TSM options file is 10 GB but it is using 39 GB space on the 
file-system and i had done several DB backups for 10 days now ,still the active 
log size does not reduce .

dsmserv.opt
ACTIVELOGSize 10240
ACTIVELOGDirectory g:\active_log
ARCHLOGDirectory h:\Archive_log

I checked the log usage value from TSM , seems to be just 18 MB from tsm query
tsm: SERV-BACKUP02>q log f=d

Total Space(MB): 10,240
Used Space(MB): 18.57
Free Space(MB): 39,761.43
Active Log Directory: g:\active_log
Mirror Log Directory:
Archive Failover Log Directory:
Archive Log Directory: h:\Archive_log

I also have enough space in the archive log directory .I just can't understand 
whats filling the active log ???

I added some more disk space to the active log file-system and need to expand 
it in TSM. I  tried to increase the size of active log to 59GB in dsmserv.opt 
and restarted the server ,but the server wont  come up then

Need advice on what needs to be done .....

1) Why is the active log directory being filled up with  500 mb files and i am 
sure nothing is being recorded in the actv log as u can see in tsm query

2) how to increase the size of actv log  to 59 gb?
