Ouch. That was it. I didn't specify the full path. I feel very stupid
right now, I'm going to sit in the corner with a dunce hat.

Thanks for the help though...

Alex,

Be more explicit in your dsmserv extend log command - give the full path,
e.g.

dsmserv extend log d:\tsmdata\server1\extrareclogspace 800

at the moment, it's looking for it in your PWD, not where you defined it
in the first place.

Take onboard Wanda's note about breaking the 13GB log size too - good
luck, let us know how you get on.

Rgds,

Subject: [ADSM-L] server 5.1.9.0 rec log problem - multiple servers?


TSM 5.1.9.0 server on win2K server. I've got a very confusing problem,
and our server is totally dead at the moment so I'm in a bit of an
emergency.

We've been running TSM 5.1.6.5 for 2-3 years, I recently (8 months ago)
upgraded to 5.1.9.0, no problems. Last night, we ran out a tapes, and
therefor the automatic backup of the database couldn't happen, and
therefor the rec log filled up to maximum, and the server died and
cannot
restart until I increase the size of the log. Easy enough, I've had to
do this before, but the standard commands are not working:

dsmftm -log D:\tsmdata\server1\extrareclogspace 8000
that works fine, create/formats the new volume, but then:

dsmserv extend log extrareclogspace 8000, dies with:

C:\Program Files\tivoli\tsm\server1>dsmserv extend log extrareeclogspace
8000
ANR0900I Processing options file c:\program
files\tivoli\tsm\server1\dsmserv.opt

The most likely reason is that another TSM server is running and has the

ANR0991I Server shutdown complete.

The problem is, we don't run two servers. We've got one server, that's
all
we've ever had, that's all we want. And this brings me back to something
I've noticed since I first installed the server, which I thought was
normal:

In C:\Program Files\tivoli\tsm\ there are two server folders. a "server"
and a "server1". In the "server" folder that's where most of the
executables live, like dsmserv.exe and dsmsvc.exe. In "server1" folder
there are .opt .log and .bat files, among others. But definately, it
seems
that the guts of the server live in "server" folder.

However, the TSM management console window lists "TSM Server1" as the
real
server, it doesn't even see "Server". Whenever I have to deal with the
MMC window, which I try to avoid at all costs, it only ever lists
Server1, never just Server. As far as I remember, Server and Server1
have always both existed from when I first setup TSM 5.1.6.5 and it
seemed
wierd to me, but everything worked, so I thought Server1 and Server were
somehow intertwinned, but they were basically the same server. Maybe
that
is wrong, and only now is the problem showing itself.

Anyone have an idea? Again, we are down 100% until I can increase the
reclog size.

Thanks in advance,

Alex
