Hello all,
I'm a complete newbie to the TSM world and, as often happens, I was tasked to take care of the product without having proper training or know how transfer, anyhow I am trying my best to learn it so here I am.
I've already search the same issue among older posts but it seems I've hit a blocker and would need some help from the experts.
As per subject I have a server, more specifically an Exchange server, with failing backups due the above error message, TSM Server is 6.3 running on top of a Windows 2008 box all Exchange backups go to disk storage pool and then to tape library an IBM 3592.
From the above output I've removed archive pools which are not used as part of the backup to keep output short, from what I understand diskpool is 87% full but on tape pool I should have plenty of space but yet the backup fails.
My question would be how can I make certain there is enough space to write the data? Put differently how I can verify which of the stgpool does not have enough space? The message itself is self explanatory but not helping me nail the issue.
It has to be noted that we received an alert about not having scratch medias, could this be the issue? Is there a way I can check how many scratch medias I do have? I will try to build up a query but if you have a ready answer would be much appreciated.
Last but not least in many posts I've read people mentioning the actlog to check out TSM events, how can I check this log file?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the lengthy post full of questions as I said I'm noobie and trying to learn.
Thanks!
