ANS1329S Server out of data storage space

that indicate that stgpool out of space I have total 7 stgpool 3 primary 3 copy and 1 is for VE control pool disk level. I am not able to understand why it is failing after doing so many search I found few things one I suspect that could be because of copygroup. Pls advice me what need to check when I see policy only 7 days retention policy is activated others are not active.

Hi Prem,

This all depends how you are performing the non-daily backups...

If you have a different client node name and dsm.opt for the daily, weekly and monthly backups then you will probably need to create a daily, weekly and monthly policy domains (with associated policy sets, management classes & backup copy group), with the required data retention settings for each.

The other option is to use a single client node name but have different management classes for each type of backup. You can then create different dim.opt files that reference the management classes. i.e. when you run a weekly backup use "dsmc -optfile=dsm_weekly.opt" and for monthly "dsmc -optfile=dsm_monthly.opt".

The server out of storage space may indicate that one of your backup nodes is still defined in the STANDARD policy domain that points to a storage pool that either doesn't have enough space for the backup data or does not exist. You will need to check the backup copy groups "destination" parameter.
