To all that responded my question : many, many thanks !!
TSM server is up and running again, and I'm (almost) dancing on my desk ...
For a first experience, it was a good one !
I love TSM ;-)

Wish you all a nice W.E.

Cheers.

Arnaud

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

lock for session 0 was not found for deletion ANR9999D
smexec.c(976): Session NOT allowed in standalone mode. ANR9999D

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

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
