Hi Richard!
Thanks you very much for your help!
Indeed it's the worst of all. I just did a select * from contents where
volume_name='just on of my volumes' on my very small test environment.
Output is returned quite fast, but as soon as you hit c to cancel the
output, you loose the cursor for several minutes. My guess is that this
table has no index...
The output of the Query CONtent command is useless for me, because the
file size is not listed. Bummer.
Thanks anyway!!!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon

Eric -

File size (actually, Aggregate size) is in the Contents table - which is
the worst of all TSM database tables to have to trawl.  If you must, do
so with as fully qualified search as possible, to minimize sequential
traversals.  An alternative would be to inspect tapes recently used by
the suspect client, using the Query CONtent command, which is optimized
for fast info retrieval.  From the TSM accounting records, you may be
able to discern such clients by the number of backup objects being
comparatively few relative to the amount of backup data.
