Administrator's Guide
This section contains an example of the daily monitoring of a Tivoli
Storage Manager system. Depending on the configuration of your system,
you may want to perform additional monitoring tasks. If a function does
not complete properly, you can review the activity log for errors that
occurred at about the time of failure (see Requesting Information from the Activity Log for details).
You can include the commands shown in a command script that you can run
daily. Review the output of the script for any errors or
problems.
- Verify that drives are online. If there is a drive in the
unavailable state, there may be errors with schedules.
query drive
- Verify that database and recovery log volumes are online and
synchronized.
query dbvolume
query logvolume
- Check the status of disk volumes. If any are offline, check for
hardware problems.
query volume devclass=disk
- Check that scratch volumes are available.
query libvolume
- Check the access state of the tape volumes. For example, a volume
that is not in the read-write state may indicate a problem. You may
need to move data and check the volumes out of the library.
query volume
- Check database and recovery log statistics.
query db
query log
- Verify that scheduled database backups completed successfully.
query volhistory type=dbbackup
- Check the activity log for error messages.
