Daily TSM maintenance Script

[tsmhelum]

I have a Serial script that runs daily. On one of our TSM servers when the
following portion of the script is run >>> BA STG LOCpool rmpool maxpr=4 wait=yes

We are getting the following message every morning.

ANR2017I Administrator xxxxxx issued command: BACKUP
STGPOOL LOCpool rmpool maxpr=2 wait=yes
ANR2111W BACKUP STGPOOL: There is no data to process for LOCPOOL

What does the above message mean exactly and how I check to make sure the primary and copy tape pool are in sync with each other?

I know it should be self explanatory.

TSM 5.3
AIX 5.3

Thanks for any help in advance!

The message means there is no data in LOCPOOL which needs to be copied to RMPOOL.

run this:
select stgpool_name, sum(num_files) from occupancy where stgpool_name='LOCPOOL' or stgpool_name='RMPOOL' group by stgpool_name

Both pools should have the same number of files if they are in sync.
The ANR2111W says no data was written to the pool since the last backup stgpool was run.

Thanks denisl – for you quick response and the Select
Query worked I appreciate it

Another Question

After running that command and the numbers do not match, how do you correct?

Every morning I run:

ba stg <every disk stgpool> <off-site tape>
ba stg <every on-site tape stgpool> <off-site tape>

What would cause these numbers not to be equal?

Another stgpool with stuff in the copy stgpool? client files coming in after invocation? database problems?
