Hi,

Windows admin guide 5.2 says that you can define a dbcopy or logcopy with
"define dbcopy(logc) vol1 e:\dbvol\vola formatsize=25".
So I tested it on my 5.2.2.5 server.

TSM:SERVER1>
define logcopy E:\TSM\TSMLOG\log01.dsm E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM
formatsize=2500
ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: DEFINE LOGCOPY E:
\TSM\TSMLOG\log01.dsm E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM formatsize=2500
ANR9969E Unable to open volume E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM. The most likely
reason is that another TSM server is running and has the volume allocated.
ANR2404E DEFINE LOGCOPY: Volume E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM is not available.
TSM:SERVER1>

Help define logcopy doesnt show any information about the formatsize
parameter? Obviously the failure is because I havent formatted a mirror
volume.
Should "define dbcopy vol1 e:\dbvol\vola formatsize=25" work?

And, will this differ in TSM?
dsmfmt -db E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM 2500
DEFINE LOGCOPY E:\TSM\TSMLOG\log01.dsm E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM

With

define logv E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM formatsize=2500
del logv E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM
DEFINE LOGCOPY E:\TSM\TSMLOG\log01.dsm E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM
Not the most practical way to do it, I know, but it works from web
gui............
