Database backup volumes are tracked in a different manner than those of
storage pools. Use the
query volhistory command to identify tape volumes
containing database backups. Alternately, you can use the activity log messages
to identify those tapes. Assuming that the database backup has been done, the
command to display the volumes is shown in Example 13-42.
Example 13-42 Querying the volume history file for db backups
tsm: ATLANTIC>
query volhist type=dbbackup begindate=today
Date/Time: 02/22/06 17:30:24
Volume Type: BACKUPFULL
Backup Series: 17
Backup Operation: 0
Volume Seq: 1
Device Class: LTO2
Volume Name: 046AKK
Volume Location:
Command:
The volumes you require are those identified in the database backup with the
latest time stamp.
Remove backups from library
This step only applies if your backup tapes are in a library. You can use the
checkout libvolume
command to remove database backup tapes from the library.
This is the same process as that for storage pool data (see Example 13-43).
