Need Increase the DB (database) size

[toddz2000]

I need to increase the actual DB size. I've already extended it a few times.
The DB size is 35 GBytes and I want to make it at least 40Gbytes
I have them mirrored right now.
Was not sure if I need to format a 40Gbyte volume then define A DBCOPY
and then delete the other's????

Volume Name Copy Volume Name Copy
(Copy 1) Status (Copy 2) Status (Copy 3)

/tsm1/db1.dsm Sync'd /tsm2/db2.dsm Sync'd Undefined

Thanks

Thanks

so I just run this command
> define dbv /tsm1/db1.dsm formatsize=5000
and
> define dbv /tsm2/db2.dsm formatsize=5000
or do I do

> define dbv /tsm1/db3.dsm formatsize=5000
> define dbv /tsm2/db4.dsm formatsize=5000

Then extend the DB when needed.


tsm: HESTIA5>define dbv /tsm1/db3.dsm formatsize=5000
tsm: HESTIA5>define dbcopy /tsm1/db3.dsm /tsm2/db4.dsm formatsize=5000

This worked great. Increased the DB to 40 GBytes and was able to sync. I just hate having multiple databases defined.

Thanks

You may hate to have multiple databases defined but you actually will get better performance by breaking the database up into multiple volumes.
