Thanks for your reply.
The MAXCAP for the device class is 204800.
The numbers are much closer to the real file sizes, but still too high:
Here are my numbers::
>select * from stgpools where stgpool_name='BKFPOOL'
STGPOOL_NAME: BKFPOOL
POOLTYPE: PRIMARY
DEVCLASS: EMCSTORE
EST_CAPACITY_MB: 257300.5
Now if you take 257300 and divide by 1024, you get 251.2.
But when I enter q stgpool, the results show:
Pool Name Class Name EstCap
------------------------------------------------------
BKFPOOL EMCSTORE 257G
So that looks like they divided by 1000 instead of 1024. But I still
can't figure out where the 257300 comes from.
q devclas EMCSTORE f=d
Device Class Name: FILE
Device Access Strategy: Sequential
Storage Pool Count: 4
Device Type: FILE
Format: DRIVE
Est/Max Capacity (MB): 204,800
Mount Limit: 200
When I query the VOLUMES, est cap comes out exactly the same whether I
use Q vol or a SELECT:
>select volume_name,est_capacity_mb,status from volumes where
stgpool_name='BKFPOOL'
VOLUME_NAME EST_CAPACITY_MB STATUS
------------------ -------------------- ------------------
BKFVOL00001 67986.4 FULL
BKFVOL00002 68000.0 EMPTY
BKFVOL00003 68000.0 FILLING
BKFVOL00004 56988.9 FULL
ANS8000I Server command: 'q vol stgpool=bkfpool'

blah 71,303,168,000 bkfvol003 (68000 MB)
blah 59,768,832,000 bkfvol004 (57000 MB)
If I divide by 1024/1024/1024, the numbers from DIR add up to 254 GB.
I don't see how TSM is coming up with 257,300 in Q stgpool.
Thanks for any hints!

pools?
What do you have defined for the MAXCapacity for for the DEVCLASS? I
would have thought the Estimated Capacity for the storage pool would be
the number of volumes times the MAXCapacity of the DEVC.

Well, I'm confused.
TSM 5.3.3.0 on Windows.
One of my TSM servers has 3 primary sequential pools on disk.
(Devclass type = FILE).
The volumes are preallocated files created with DEFINE VOLUME, so
MAXSCRATCH=0 for the pool.
There have been no volumes added/deleted for weeks.
One of the pools is 254 GB, one is 7142 GB, one is 25TB (actual bytes,
calculated by summing up values for each file from Windows Properties).
Can anybody tell me how the ESTIMATED CAPACITY for the pool is
calculated?
All three are coming up with Estimated Capacity of MORE GB than are
actually available in the pool.
I get the same results from Q STGPOOL, or from SELECT * from STGPOOLS.
For example, Q STGPOOL shows the 1st pool as 257 GB, the second as 7551
GB.
None of the hits I found on ibm.com seemed to address this, and all
should have been fixed at 5.3.3.0.
Anybody else figured this out?
