So, at one of my client sites I noticed that the Active log filesystem is sitting at 82% full. This is not normal for this TSM server. Looking in the filesystem I saw active logs going back four days

Are you doing "backup volhist" as well? IIRC, there was a discussion that you needed to do that as well to purge activity logs. Plus it is a requirement to perform DB restores on 6.x servers. Zoltan
Yeah, I am. The thing that's wierd is the 4 day delay. Active logs are getting deleted, but they're waiting 4 days to do so. And this is not how the behavior has always been since going to 6.2. I jus
The active log space is preallocated at the file system level, you can check the current log file (1504) in use as follows: $ db2pd -db tsmdb1 -logs Database Partition 0 -- Database TSMDB1 -- Active
Hi Kurt, Ok, this is interesting stuff. When I do db2pd -db tsmdb1 -logs, I see the following: Database Partition 0 -- Database TSMDB1 -- Active -- Up 77 days 15:59:39 -- Date 07/26/2011 06:41:01 Log

Well, I don't think you're showing any ignorance at all, in fact I believe you nailed it on the head. I should have thought of that. (btw this server is on AIX). For some reason I seemed to think tha

Well, that's an interesting question, too. I think the Tivoli estimates point to smaller log sizes often being appropriate. But my server started out at 6.1.3, and the reason my activelog is at 90G i

I think Wanda is correct. The files always stay there, and get reused over time. I'd opened a PMR on that question a few weeks ago; answer was "TSM reuses the files". -- Harold Vandeventer Well, I'm
