Recovery log getting pinned nightly, TSM 5.5.6

[dangel42]

Ok, so the Exchange backups are not run daily.

1) Have you checked the health of your network?
2) Ask an AIX admin to checkout he TSM host server. Check for local disk issues with the disk itself and/or the SCSI interface. Again, errrpt will assist on this
3) Look for a node that stays on wait during backup and see what is causing this to wait

I presume you had checked out the SAN environment based on your last post. Have you done benchmarks on the SAN?

Correct, SAN is checking out fine at the moment. Having them check for errors again just to be safe.

How are you accessing the ERRPT? Root ERRPT messages are different than other user's messages. ERRPT is always ON. This must be from something else. Error logging turned OFF might from be an application or from TSM.

Running the command 'errpt' as root. And I have no new entries since 6/13.

Thanks...also performed a reboot. Errpt did show some tape drive reservation conflicts after the reboot which I found interesting as we recently made some changes per our consultant on that front to fix the lack of multipathing with the tape drives. Had to force those drives online.
