Dear ADSMers,
Before upgrading my production V2 ADSM server to V3, I of course need to
do some testing. Since installation of V3 requires removing V2, I first
installed V3 on a test machine. However, I need to be able to run a test
V3 server on the same machine as my production V2 server, because that is
where the 3590 tape drives (in a 3494) are attached. It seems to me that
I ought to be able to do that, using a different TCPPORT, separate log and
database and disk storage pools, and different category numbers for a few
tapes in the 3494.
So, I copied all of the files in /usr/lpp/adsmserv/bin from the test
machine where V3 was installed to a different directory on my production
machine. I edited the dsmserv.opt file to change the TCPPORT, and
formatted a new log and database. However, when I start the server, I get
a great many messages like the following:
Error retrieving message nnnnn for 1 from EN_US
or
<< Message number nnnnn not available for language EN_US >>
The server seems to initialize OK, and I can issue commands at the
console, but most of them result in messages like the ones above. It
seems that the server is not finding the message repository file.
Apparently there were one or more steps performed during the install by
SMIT that didn't carry over when I copied the files from the test machine
to the production machine.
Has anyone been successful trying to run both a V2 and V3 AIX server on
the same machine? How do I get around this problem of messages not being
found? And even if I get around this problem, are there other problems
with what I am attempting that I haven't considered or run into yet? Can
someone from IBM comment on this? There is no way that I can take the
risk of upgrading my V2 server without first doing some testing of V3 in
something close to my production environment, and that means that V2 and
V3 must coexist on the same machine, albeit with separate databases and
storage pools. I would prefer that they be able to run concurrently, but
I would settle for being able to run them one at a time.
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
