After you issue dsmserv format is it typical for the db vols to be ignored
from the format list?

I got this....

ANR0301I Recovery log format in progress; 3996 megabytes of 4000.
ANR0301I Recovery log format in progress; 4000 megabytes of 4000.
ANR0302I Recovery log formatting took 251848 milliseconds.
ANR0303I Format rate:  4065.9 pages/second.
ANR0304I Page service time:     0.2 ms.
ANR0305I Recovery log format complete.
ANR0306I Recovery log volume mount in progress.
ANR0353I Recovery log analysis pass in progress.
ANR0354I Recovery log redo pass in progress.
ANR0355I Recovery log undo pass in progress.
ANR0352I Transaction recovery complete.
ANR0992I Server installation complete.


But no mention of the two db vols I wanted to be formatted?

I used the following procedure:

first create the DB and LOg files:
        /usr/bin/dsmfmt -m -db /adsm/dbva/dbvol1 2000 &
        /usr/bin/dsmfmt -m -db /adsm/dbva/dbvol2 2000 &
        /usr/bin/dsmfmt -m -log /adsm/dbva/logvol1 500
And after that initialize them with the dsmserv command:
        /usr/bin/dsmserv format 1 /adsm/dbva/logvol1 2 /adsm/dbva/dbvol1
/adsm/dbva/dbvol2

Subject: dsmserv format error


I am performing a DR without the original database or recovery log
volumes.

When I issue the DSMSERV FORMAT utility to initialize the database and
recovery log, I always get the error 'missing arguments' or 'missing
volume'.  I've tried re-creating the same volumes from the original server
but this doesn't help.


The command I am issuing is something like this...

# ./dsmserv format 2 /dbdsk/db01.dsm /dbdsk/db02.dsm 200 1
/logdsk10/log01.dsm 40
