Guys,

I am running Windows 2K cluster, TSM 4.2. Early yesterday morning the
server crashed and would not start (on either node of the cluster). When I
try and start it manually I get:
      "ANR0212E. Unable to read disk definition file: dsmserv.dsk"

I can see the DSK file, I can edit the file, I have tried running
dsmserv.exe from inside the directory where the file exists, I have tried
copying the file into the SERVER directory and running dsmserv - all to no
avail. I tried editing the file with only a single line, pointing to the
first database node, and this gave the same error. I did see a posting on
adsm.org regarding the log file filling and crashing the server - I tried
to do an expand of the log but I keep getting the same message.

My first TSM instance on the cluster is still working correctly, and works
correctly with either physical cluster node in charge. I have logged a job
with IBM, but with the version being not supported I am not sure how far I
can push the relationship.

Any ideas/thoughts/prayers would be appreciated.

Regards,
