We have some archives that are missing.  I am having difficulties
understanding how they could be gone from TSM.

 

The client is Red Hat Linux, TSM client version 5.5 server is TSM 6.2.  

 

I know that the archive had an expiration date of 2017, so they should
not have expired.  Management class archive retention is set to 2555
days.

 

I remember having to destroy some volumes because of tape read/write
errors.  Is it possible I could have destroyed the only volume that had
this archive then TSM removed any reference to that archive?

 

The only way I know to check for these archives is either on the client
through the GUI, or on the server with a q occupancy command.

 

Assuming the archive was destroyed along with a volume, shouldn't there
be a reference to the archive in the database somewhere?

 

Maybe I should be asking how to find out what filespaces are on a volume
so I know if I can destroy it or not.  Does anyone have a query for
finding the filespaces on a volume?

 

And thanks in advance for taking the time to think about this.
