2) Don't do a delete volh type=all!
Use multiple deletes to get rid of the entries you need to get rid of!
Using type=all I once lost all entries for EXPORTed nodes.

Betreff: Volume History


Hello All!

I am setting up a new TSM environment and I am using DRM for the first
time.  I have a couple of questions concerning volume history maintenance:

1.  I had been doing delete volh type=dbb todate=today-15, but I have
realized that if you set drmdbbackupexpiredays to 14 this should be the
equivalent and then I won't lose tapes?

2.  How often should I do a delete volh type=all?  I usually do it as:
delete volh todate=today-31 type=all.  Would this be the correct standard?

If I implement the above strategy, will I still have the ability to "lose"
tapes?  If so, how might I be able to prevent this?  Thank you in advance!
