John,

I see one thing wrong.  Try the following:

dsmfmt -m -log newlogfilename 13

dsmserv extend log newlogfilename 12

The log file requires 1 MB of overhead, therefore the size in the last
command should be 12, not 13.  I hope this applies to your case.  I am
running TSM 4.1.4.0 on AIX 4.3.3.  I had a similar problem not long ago.

I'm down!  TSM 3.7.2 (out of support) on AIX 4.3.2 and the recovery log is
full. I've performed the following:

dsmfmt -m -log newlogfilename 13

dsmserv extend log newlogfilename 13

The extend fails with ANR2447E EXTEND LOG: Insufficient space to extend
recovery log by requested
amount.

I then did a dsmserv dumpdb dev=3590 which executed successfully. However,
this did not reset the recovery log. The server still will not come up.

Now what do I do?  Format and reload?

Please advise ASAP.
