Eric, Ruddy

Many thanks for you help ! I managed it to restore the db successfully,
although I got some strange messages during restore, looking like :

ANR4639I Restored 334704 of 462160 database pages.
ANR4639I Restored 341664 of 462160 database pages.
ANR9999D smexec.c(976): Session NOT allowed in standalone mode.

ANR4639I Restored 355584 of 462160 database pages.
ANR4639I Restored 362592 of 462160 database pages.

Do you know if it could mean that something went wrong, or can I go
further without worrying ?
TIA.

Arnaud

Hi Arnaud!
Error 2 is an AIX return code meaning "No such file or directory". This
is probably because /tsmdb/log1 does not exist. Did you use the DSMFMT
command to create this file? I also noted a difference in filename
between the command you issued and the error returned. I assume this is
a typo? Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Hi List,

I had a call from one of our branches, telling me their TSM server
crashed. Unfortunately they had their log and db files sitted on the
same unmirrored disk, so basically everything is lost. I'm now trying to
initiate a DR scenario, but face a first problem : issuing "dsmserv
format 1 /tsmdb/log1 1 /tsmdb/" returns

Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX-RS/6000
Version 4, Release 1, Level 3.0

ANR0900I Processing options file dsmserv.opt.
ANR000W Unable to open default locale message catalog,
/usr/lib/nls/msg/C/. Error opening file /tsmpool/log1, errno = 2

What does that mean ?
Additional question : as I never worked with that system, and they had
poor documentation, I have no idea of the original size for db and log
volumes. The only thing I found was their dsmserv.dsk file, wich looks
like :

#dsk_comment#page_shadow_token:1030111093811
/tsmdb/tsmdb1.dsm
/tsmdb/tsmlog.dsm
/tsmdb/tsmdb.dsm
/tsmpool/dbvol3.dsm

Will the above format command (If successful) be enough to initiate a
later "restore db" command without problem ? Many thanks for your help
in my first disaster recovery attempt ...

Arnaud
