HI Guys. First of all I would like ot say hi as I am new ot the forum.
Second, I am also new to TSM , to please bare with me and I appologise if things I ask may seem stupid :(.


My query is this. Currently our TSM DB is reaching its full point.

And I wanted to know how do I add a new volume group tot he existing volume groups to extend the DB.
Currently we run a mirror of the DB, so there is the primary and the secondary ( mirror).

And its in RAW data file mode.


IF anyone could explain to me how I add a logical volume onto the database, and the procedure, I would greatlly, appreciate it.


Thanks

By the fact that you're using the terms volume group, logical volume and RAW, I'm assuming you're running on AIX.

First, you'd define a logical volume at the AIX level.
Next, define the raw LV to TSM as a DB volume
-define dbvol /dev/r{lv_name}

Now, define a second lv at the AIX level in your mirror location
Then define the TSM mirror
-define dbcopy {primary volume} {mirror_volume}

That's all there is to it.

Hi Aaron

I appologise, yes I am running AIX with TSM installed on that.


Thank you for your help.
SO I don't have to do any formatting?, or deletion of the original DB and then adding it in and restores or anything like that?

Just simpley define? and it will add it on?

Here is what you should do:

1.First check on OS side if you still have enough space on the volume group where you create your TSM DB and your mirror DB. If you dont have, add space into it.
2. Once you have enough space, login to tsm, and follow the procedure below
2.1 define dbvol volumename formatsize=number in MB
where volumename is where your filesystem is located ex. for window c:\tsmdbfile\dbxxx.dsm
for aix: /tsmdbfile/dbxx.dsm
2.2 define dbcopy volumename copyvolumename formatsize=number in MB
where volumename = volume name of db to be copied
copyvolumename = volume name of the mirror db
2.2 extend db number
