hi!
well, figured it out! first of all JFS for large filesystems had to be
enabled, then a dsmfmt /fs/filename <size inMb'> had to be issued on the AIX
commandline then def vol /fs/filename WITHOUT sizespecs on the adsm
commandline.....
ive just been staring myself blind on it!
thnx to everyone for helping me out anyway. Apparently ADSM does work a
little different from TSM.

Hmm

look at this

ANR7864W (AIX) Unable to write volume file name.


Explanation: The server was attempting to create a file with the indicated
name. The server was able to partially write to the file before running out
of space.

System Action: The server continues processing. The file creation request
fails. The file is still present on the system.

User Response: Specify a new file name where there is sufficient space.



Ok this is what you gotta do.

go to the filesystem /bfaa1dk3 and issue the rm command on the file you
where trying to create.
Then try to reissue the command and try a smaller volume this time just try
like 2 mb size, if it works then you know that the problem is your size, del
the 2mb volume and reissue ther rm command on the 2mb file and try creating
a real vomume next.
be sure you have enugh space for the file on your filesystem.

That should take care of it.

Hope this helps

pete out :-)

Dear Michelle.

here are some tips for you

make sure you have enough space when you try to create the fylesystem.

df -sk

try not to have more than one disk volume per Paschal volume, due to
performance issues.


What commands are you running,

Is there enough space for the file, and most importantly what is the error
code you receive when you run this command?

Hi all,

Until now i've worked with tsm only and in this when you create additional
diskvolumes you create a logical volume and point tsm to the /dev/rLV. It
then formats and uses the space assigned.
Now m,y problem is creating additional diskvolumes within adsm 3.1. I,ve
tried doing this the same way, but it gives error.
I.ve tried then to create a filespace for it, but it didnt quite grasp that
either. I cant really find any usefull documentation on this and its really
important that its done today....please help and receive my undieing
gratitude!! ;o)
