Hello,
I maintain a TSM server that runs in SSAM mode, i.e. archive only and with retention protection.
We had a SAN storage problem (2 lost disks in a RAID5 ...) and it happened between a client archiving objects and the normal storage pool backup. So we lost a certain number of objects since there are no copies in a copy pool. The objects were in a disk volume that does no longer exist and is marked as destroyed in TSM, all objects are also marked damaged.
However, TSM does not let me delete the objects due to the retention protection mode it runs in. So I am stuck with a non existing destroyed volume that contained a number of now damaged objects and cannot get rid of it.
IBM support refuses to disclose hints on how these objects can be cleaned up.
Did anyone here had such a situation in the past and could share information on how to clean up such a mess?
Thanks!
