Hi all,

I currently have quite limited system drive space on one of my TSM
servers
(Running on Windows 2000). In an effort to clean up some space I was
wondering if it would be possible to move or delete a couple of
files. The
file names are dsmserv.dmp and dsmsvc.dmp. As they are .dmp files I am
assuming they will be recreated if necessary, but I was just
wondering if
it would be safe to remove them. They are using up a considerable
amount
of space (close to 1GB per file).

Any info would be appreciated.

Chris -

Those are TSM server crash dump files in Windows, from when the
server was running as a Windows service, and when it was not.  If the
info in them is no longer needed in pursuing the crash case, then I
believe they can be disposed of to reclaim needed space.
