Jeff,
Yes, the audit db is an off-line command so your TSM server will be down. For
a 180GB db, that could be a while. I don't know for sure on a targeted audit
like this, however. Might be shorter than I am accustomed to and I'm sure
others will weigh in.
Keep your fingers crossed. Maybe you fixed it!
Thanks,

Subject: [ADSM-L] Tape Reclamation Problem / Auditdb
Hi
TSM Server v5.3.3.1
Running on AIX
I have a problem where an offsite volume continues to be reclaimed many
times, even though it's utilization is 0% and pct_reclaimable space is 0%.
The reclaim process starts then ends, the starts again etc. Been doing that
for the last 3 days.
On the IBM support site, there is a hit, which was last updated in May 2008
Space reclamation is always processing the same volumes, even after
successfull completion. Problem possibly caused by inconsistency in the DB
archival storage information.
An offline database AUDIT on the archstorage subset will help to recover
from this situation:
dsmserv auditdb archstorage logmode=rollforward fix=yes
Having researched the forum, I found a similar hit, where it was recommended
to
Upd vol xxxxx acc=readw
Audit vol xxxxx fix=yes
Upd vol xxxxx acc=offsite
I've done this, and the reclaim has stopped, hopefully it will not
re-appear.
But if it does and I have to run the 'dsmserv auditdb archstorage
logmode=rollforward fix=yes', how long is that likely to take, as I will
need the TSM server offline? Database size is 180gb, if that is relevant.
Thanks
Jeff White
