No. Theoretically they put some data there but not enough to grow DB size,
LOG is not affected at all. Query <something> commands generate a line in
activity log with admin name and command, "q mount" also drops the output
in actlog. All this cannot be more than few hundred bytes. And old entries
in activity log are purged so this space is reclaimed.
Disclaimer: if all works as designed.

Subject:        Issuing Admin command increase TSM DB or/and LOG?

Howdy TSM folks,

Can someone tell me if issuing administrative commands like "q status, q
event , q db" increase the size of TSM DB and/or TSM LOG?
