I have a test server with  TSM 6.1.1.0 (Linux Centos). It did run fine for a 
short while, but then suddenly all database backup tapes started to get the 
date 11/30/2047 00:00:00.  This causes the "delete volhist type=dbb todate=-3" 
to fail since 2047 isn't passed (yet).

 

There is a flash on this problem.

 

Flash  4 Jun, 2009:  Tivoli Storage Manager V6.1.1 fixpack release may 
incorrectly record the "Date/Time" field for the volume history file 
<http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1019&context=SSSQWC&context=SSGSG7&dc=D600&uid=swg21388750&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en>
 

 

The flash isn't very informative.

 

My question is how do I remove the database backup tapes.  Right now the server 
is down because the log went full when all available tapes got stuck with 
"2047" status.  I guess I can get some extra log at get the server to start, 
but it will soon run out of log again if I can't get the db backups going.

 

Thanks
