Re: [ADSM-L] Archive Log Overflow never empties

Good morning,

Regarding the bug in TSM 7.1.1, it is a known apar (IT05164) that is fixed in 
TSM 7.1.1.100, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IT05164 
for more details.

Regards,
Kurt

Hi everybody,

We are seeing the same behavior on TSM 7.1 on AIX. It occurred once that the 
archive log directory was filled up 80% spawning automated database backups, in 
order to free up the archive log dir, ... until no more scratch tapes were 
available.

It looks like a bug for which an APAR should be raised. I did not find the time 
yet for the latter and just clean up old archive logs by a simple cron script.

regards,
Kurt

We are also on 6.2.5 and had this happen once.
I agree, the archive log overflow area does not seem to work as advertised.
I finally just deleted the archive logs in the overflow area after several 
backup.

Subject: Archive Log Overflow never empties

We have four instances of TSM Server 6.2.5 on AIX, which basically behave 
pretty well. But on all of them, we occasionally get a little bit of data 
overflowing into the Archive Overflow Log filesystem. I don't know why, because 
as far as I can tell the Archive Log filesystem has never been allowed to fill 
up. But anyway, it never empties out. Full database backups reliably free space 
in the Archive Log filesystem, but the Archive Overflow Log just gradually 
fills up. One of them is up to 20%, over a period of a year. I saw somewhere 
that it takes two full database backups, but there have been many dozens of 
full backups.

Any idea how I can get the Archive Overflow Log to empty out?
