Re: Real DR situation : dsmserv format fails; errno = 2 !

Arnaud,

Don't worry. Just messages from clients trying to connect to the TSM server.

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. ANR9999D

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

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

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
