Hmm, Are the explanation of the retention parms here correct? I thought
it went like so;
VEREXISTS: max number of versions to keep for a file that exists on
the client
VERDELETED: max number of version to keep of a file that is
deleted from the client
RETEXTRA: number of days to keep versions other than the newest,
for either files that exist OR files that have been deleted
RETONLY: number of days to keep a file that is deleted from the
client and has all its extra versions expired by the RETEXTRA limit.
STARTING FROM the day that RETEXTRA removes the last 'older' version
leaving only a single copy of the file in TSM.

DEFINITION OF BACKUP
RULES:
VEREXISTS: # of versions to keep while file exists (adjusted by
RETEXTRA)
VERDELETED: # of versions to keep on TSM when file is deleted from
client
RETEXTRA: # of DAYS to keep non current versions defined by
VEREXISTS
RETONLY: # of DAYS to keep file(s) on TSM after deleted on client
(adjusted by
VEREDELETED)
I would think you would set VEREDELETED to 1
After all , you are deleteing all the 'extra' versions after 7 days.
Yes, we reclaim copy pools. Threshhold set to 50%
setting it at 80% requires a lot of consolidation of a lot of volumes
that have only 20% empty. No wonder you have long runs that need to be
manually terminated.

A couple of weeks ago I was given the opportunity to take on the TSM
admin
role :-)
I was wondering if anyone reclaims copy storage pools. Currently, we
execute a schedule to reclaim space from our copy storage pool using
the upd stgp copypool recl=80 command, this is scheduled for 15:00. Then
we have a schedule to set the
threshold back to 100%, using the upd stgp copypool recl=100 command at
18:00, but that doesn't work. We usually cancel it manually
after 23:00. I took TSM classes about 4 years ago, and my book
recommends
leaving the threshold 100%, meaning no reclamation will occur. Once
all
offsite volumes go into an empty status we can bring them back.
Our versions info - versions data exists, versions data deleted,
retain
extra versions, and retain only version are all set to 7. Wouldn't the
tape empty after 7 days?
Thanks,
Debbie
