Hi Joshua,

Sorry for the late reply....

There are two possible problems..... and number 2 is your problem.

1. AIX 433 swap space does not always start at gold code level. Make sure
you install the PTF2 set before installing anything else to resolve the
swapon error.

2. The TSM server code does not always correctly size /usr during the
install and actually fails to start TSM whilst building the db, log and
disk storage pools in /usr. It does not report a installp failure as the
installp actually worked, only the TSM startup fails. I nearly always
increase /usr by 200MB before installing the TSM server.

regards Tonyr

Subject:  New Install AIX/TSM 3.7 Server Won't Start




All,

I have a newly installed RS6K 43P with 4.3.3 on it.
After I installed the TSM 3.7.0.0 base code I
attempted to start the server.  From the server
directory I ran dsmserv and it indicated:

"Unable to read disk definition file dsmserv.dsk"

After I took a look I found that not only was the
disk definition file not created, but there wasn't
a DB or Log file.  I used dsmfmt to format both a
DB and Log file and then I ran:

dsmserv format 1 log1.dsm 1 db1.dsm

The server tries to start but stops with:

"Trace/BPT trap(coredump)

I have tried several different things to get the
server up and running including installing the
3.7.2.0 maintenance, but with no luck.
