Troubleshooting
Problem
Unexpected database growth and degraded performance can occur over time on a Tivoli Storage Manager Version 7.1.1.200 or later server. However, you can take steps to resolve, and potentially prevent, these issues.
Symptom
You might encounter the following symptoms:
- The amount of space that is used by the database grows continuously over time, and exceeds your expectations for the normal increase in client space requirements. The space that is used by the database continues to increase despite the following conditions:
- Expiration is running.
- The number of objects in the server remains the same or decreases. - Server performance degrades over time. For example, server operations run increasingly slower, even though the workload has not changed.
Tip: Beginning with Version 7.1.3, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager is now IBM Spectrum Protect. Some applications such as the software fulfillment systems and IBM License Metric Tool use the new product name. However, the software and its product documentation continue to use the Tivoli Storage Manager product name. To learn more about the rebranding transition, see Technote 1963634 .
If you installed IBM Spectrum Protect V7.1.3 or later, and you set up directory-container storage pools, some of the information in this document might not apply to you. For more information, see If I use directory-container storage pools, is index or table reorganization necessary?
