Hi All,

I need a help or guideline on how to configure multiple TSM instance. I had a TSM Server V6 with single instance (TSMINST1), which is running for quite some times. Now I need to create another TSM instance (TSMINST2) into existing TSM Server within same box server (AIX). Everything goes smooth until the API portion, which I have problem how the configuration will need to be done. Please refer to below api/bin64/dsm.sys for existing single TSM instance which running;

Servername server_a
COMMMethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress node.domain.company.COM

servername TSMDBMGR_TSMINST1
commmethod tcpip
tcpserveraddr localhost
tcpport 1500
passwordaccess generate
passworddir /home/tsminst1/tsminst1
errorlogname /home/tsminst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.log
nodename $$_TSMDBMGR_$$


And where below is the new create TSM instance (TSMINST2) dsm.sys configuration;

Servername server_a
COMMMethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress node.domain.company.COM

servername TSMDBMGR_TSMINST1
commmethod tcpip
tcpserveraddr localhost
tcpport 1500
passwordaccess generate
passworddir /home/tsminst1/tsminst1
errorlogname /home/tsminst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.log
nodename $$_TSMDBMGR_$$

servername TSMDBMGR_TSMINST2
commmethod tcpip
tcpserveraddr localhost
tcpport 1508 =>I had setup the TCPOPRT in a different unique port number.
passwordaccess generate
passworddir /home/tsminst2/tsminst2
errorlogname /home/tsminst2/tsminst2/tsmdbmgr.log
nodename $$_TSMDBMGR_$$

Any idea which part is configure wrong? When I try to run "/home/tsminst2/sqllib/adsm/dsmapipw" I was not able to get the update.

Thanks

Nicklas

Please paste the output/error message which you receive on running dsmapipw.

Also make sure, you are changing the API password as loggined in via root.

Hi All,

I'm in the phase of creating on second TSM instance for TSM 6.2.

Physical parameters:

1st instance up and running.

Db directories for TSM instance one under :

mkdir /TSM/tsmdb0
mkdir /TSM/tsmlog0
mkdir /TSM/tsmarchlog0

Now while trying to create db directories for second instance, I'm receiving following error's:

ANR0236E Fail to start the database manager due to an I/0 error. Check for
filesystem full conditions, file permissions, and operating system errors.
ANR0172I rdbdb.c(1154): Error encountered performing action InstanceStop.
ANR0162W Supplemental database diagnostic information: -1025:**No State
Information Available (-2)**:-1025 (**No Other Information Available (84)**).
ANR2678E Server database format failed.

Can someone check this and let us know the procedure to create second TSM instance for TSM 6.2 on aix.

You have not provided us with enough information to be able to help.

What step of the documentation are you stuck at?
Are you getting errors?

The instructions that I provided stated that you needed basically the same config as the first one, but different user and directories, looks like you did that. Then use the same procedure to build the 2nd one:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowled....itsm.srv.install.doc/t_srv_1ststeps-aix.html

On the above link, at what step are you at?

Hi,
Thanks for support. My second instance got created and i started server successfully. But want to know how to connect from 'dsmadmc'. I am having new instance as /home/tsminst2 and created dsm.opt and dsm.sys files. But when i connect the same with dsmadmc -optfile=dsm1.opt it does not connect.

Normally for an AIX or UNIX/Linux bases TSM server, the dsm.sys file is multi-stanza - one for the first instance, and one of the second one. If you backup the TSM server to another TSM server, then a third stanza is needed.

If you use defaults to run the TSM service for backing up the TSM server, the dsm.opt file MUST point to the stanza that does the backup.

In short, the command to use is simply:

dsmadmc -se=<Instance_2_name_from_dsm.sys_stanza_@_SErvername>
