Can be used to identify the status of all volumes in the library. E.g. there can be missing
library volumes from the QUERY LIBVOLUME output when compared with the SHOW SLOTS output, because not all were checked in by TSM.

| show dedupdeleteinfo |
Displays the status of background deletion threads for dereferenced deduplicated objects. Issue this command to check
the status of the background deletion process for deduplicated objects. When a file is deleted or moved out of
a deduplicated storage pool, the extents are queued to a background processor for attempted removal from the
storage pool. This command is useful for checking the backlog of queued extents and the status of each deletion thread.

Only for "legacy" dedup pools – NOT for Directory/Cloud Container pools. There we have the Q EXTENTUPDATES command.

| show tocsets |
A TOC set is used during file-level NDMP operations ( or BACKUPSETS ). During an
NDMP backup with
the TOC=YES parameter, a TOC is built in the server database. During a restore, one
or more TOCs might be loaded into the server database to provide file and directory
names to the client GUI. This command shows the status of the TOC set; for example,
building or loading, and how much temporary database space is in use for each TOC set.
You might issue this command if you are experiencing problems with an NDMP backup with
the TOC=YES parameter, or have problems restoring files from an NDMP backup, or if TOC
sets are being retained in the server database too long or not long enough.
