Naleen,

We just implemented an EMC SAN a week ago, but the problem is that your
PowerPath devices are not valid from Solaris' view.  THAT is what you need
to fix; just let TSM stay down until the EMC is right.  Otherwise you will
just dig yourself deeper into trouble.

Run the "powermt" command; on AIX the syntax is "powermt  display
dev=all"; on Solaris is should be similar; and check all paths for "dead"
devices and paths.  Then call either Sun or EMC and resolve that/those
problems.

Then you should be able to start TSM with no problem.

Good luck.

Re: How to change the paths of Database Locations - URGENT TSM down






Hi,
First you must check is the storage avaliable.  think that you can't
access the storage.
But if you think that the path the the volumes are wrong you can edit the
file "dsmserv.dsk" where the paths are written.

Regards,
Svetoslav

How to change the paths of Database Locations - URGENT TSM down






Hi,
We have TSM server 5.2.2 on a solaris platform
All the database and logs are located on a EMC storage F.C

This morning, we could not start the dsmserv as it said

ANR7806W Unable to open file /dev/rdsk/emcpower13a.
ANR9999D blkdisk.c(1452): ThreadId<0> Explanation (open error), errno=5
(I/O e
error).
ANR7806W Unable to open file /dev/rdsk/emcpower14a.
ANR9999D blkdisk.c(1452): ThreadId<0> Explanation (open error), errno=5
(I/O e
error).
ANR0214W Database volume /dev/rdsk/emcpower13a is in the offline state -
VARY
 ON required.
ANR0214W Database volume /dev/rdsk/emcpower13d is in the offline state -
VARY
 ON required.
ANR0215W Recovery log volume /dev/rdsk/emcpower14a is in the offline
state - V
VARY ON required.

It seems that the paths are wrong, and I would like to know how to
change it.

PLEASE HELP as the server is DOWN currently.
