Moving the DB

[tneedham]

I'm in need of some help. I need to move my tivoli DB to a different volume. How hard is this? The current volume is at capacity. Please, if anyone has any advise I would greatly appreciate it.



TSM 5.1.65

Windows 2K

1) Setup space in the OS for the new DB

2) Use dsmfmt to create the new DB volumes (dsmfmt -m -db <file> size_in_MB)

3) Define the new DB volumes to TSM (define dbvol <vol>)

4) Extend TSM DB by new DB vol amount (extend db <size_in_MB>)

5) Reduce TSM DB by the old DB amount (reduce db <old_db_size_in_MB>)

6) Remove old DB volumes from TSM (del dbvol <old_db_vol>)

7) Delete old TSM DB volumes from OS.



Then again, you could just create a new volume and add it to the existing DB and just make your DB bigger rather then move it to a bigger volume.
