Is there perhaps an incremental that is on disk?  I have had to move drm on
those volumes to get the dbbackups to expire.

Hello TSM'ers

Thought I would mail here before raising a call with IBM...

TSM V5.2.2.3 AIX 5.2

We have a problem whereby no DB backups are expiring, and slowly but
surely filling the library up with tapes that should be scratch
volumes...

DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS is 0

Del volhist t=dbb todate=today-7

Returns with

0 sequential volume history entries were deleted


select count(*) from volhistory where type like 'BACKUP%' gives

156  (!)

There are DBBAckups in the volhist from 18 Nov 2003...

Does anyone have any ideas? I looked into APAR IY00057 but it doesn't
seem to relate to this particular problem.

Thanks,

Matt.
