Re: Multiple versions of TSM server on one AIX host

Okay, I got no responses to the original posting, so I thought I'd try
this:  if anyone is successfully running multiple TSM servers at different
maintenance levels on a single AIX host, would you post some details on
your setup?  TSM server startup scripts, relevant dsmserv.opt entries,
directory structure, and anything else that's required to accomplish this?

Thanks very much,
Bill

Subject: Multiple versions of TSM server on one AIX host

Hi,

Currently running TSM server 5.2.3.0 on AIX 5.2.

We've been running multiple TSM servers on a single AIX host with no
problems.  We use the DSMSERV_CONFIG and DSMSERV_DIR variables to point to
different dsmserv.opt files and server directories, respectively.

What I'm trying to do now is set things up to run a test TSM server at a
newer maintenance level than the production TSM servers, again all on the
same AIX host. I seem to be stuck in the area of the message repository.

My (limited) understanding of this is that the installation of the TSM
server puts two files in the /usr/lib/nls/msg/en_US directory -
dsmserv.cat and dsmserv.hlp.  These files differ for each version of the
server code, and so I have to ensure that each TSM server gets the correct
version of the message repository files.

I figured I'd start by getting a test TSM server looking at a separate
copy of the 5.2.3.0 message repository.  Once I have the mechanism in
place and working, I can move the test server to the new (5.3.1.2)
version.  Based on past postings to this list, here's what I've tried:

- in the test TSM server's dsmserv.opt file, specify 'LANG en_US_tsm5230'

- in /usr/lib/nls/loc, create the following link:
      en_US_tsm5230 -> /usr/lib/nls/loc/en_US

- in /usr/lib/nls/msg, create a new directory 'en_US_tsm5230' containing
copies of the 5.2.3.0 dsmserv.cat and dsmserv.hlp files


When I start the test TSM server, I'm getting the following message:

 ANR0000W Failure opening message repository for locale en_US_tsm5230(-1).
 Using default message repository.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?  Am I even on the right track??  Or
is there another/better way to accomplish my goal?

Thanks in advance,
Bill
