access to server query without admin passwd ??

[jturner]

Can anyone suggest a method whereby I may query the dbvols and logvols on a running server WITHOUT having an admin passwd ie I can't run a 'dsmserv display dbvol' as the server is running and as I dont have the admin passwd, I can't run a 'dsmadmc -id=admin -pass=***** q dbvol f=d'. I could view the dsmserv.dsk and hope that the db and log vols are obvious but this cannot be guaranteed.



Is there any other way to determine the db and log volume sizes and the associated OS devices??



Thanks

Possible solutions ..



1- setup a schedule to do a "query system" and redirect to a file ... you should have the info needed in there



2- setup an operator account ..



3- use the admin password from a secured file (or secured path) ...the idea is that only some of the users can access the file to read the contents ... so you will use:

dsmadmc -id=<adminID> -pass=$(cat /etc/security/adsm/passwordfile) q dbvol f=d

That's for Unix ..



Hope this helps ... :-o)
