Re: [ADSM-L] Moving DB , LOG , ARCHLOG

Robert,

In order to move your TSM database, and logs, you will have to perform a restore db and input the new directories/filespaces that you want the database and logs to reside.

Moving both the database and recovery log
You can move the database, active log, and archive logs that are on the same file
system to various directories on different file systems for better protection.
Procedure
1. Back up the database by issuing the following command:
backup db type=full devclass=files
2. Halt the server.
3. Create directories for the database, active logs, and archive logs. The directories
must be accessible to the user ID of the database manager. For example:
mkdir l:\tsm\db005
mkdir m:\tsm\db006
mkdir n:\tsm\db007
mkdir o:\tsm\db008
mkdir p:\tsm\activelog
mkdir q:\tsm\archivelog
4. Create a file that lists the locations of the database directories. This file is used
if the database must be restored. Enter each location on a separate line. For
example, these are the contents of the dbdirs.txt file:
l:\tsm\db005
m:\tsm\db006
n:\tsm\db007
o:\tsm\db008
5. Remove the database instance by issuing the following command:
dsmserv removedb TSMDB1
6. Issue the DSMSERV RESTORE DB utility to move the database and create the new
active log. For example:
dsmserv restore db todate=today on=dbdirs.txt
activelogdir=p:\tsm\activelog
7. Restart the server.

Best Regards,

Hello I am in stage of moving my DB , Activelog and Archivelog from old storage to faster storage, DB on SSD disks I am wonder if I can do it in one step, meaning: 1. Creating new volumes for DB on SSD lists, create a list on dbdir.file 2. Create a new volume of 150G for activelog as: X:\tsmactlog 3. Create a new volume of 400G for archivelog as: Y:\tsmarchlog 4. On dsmserv.opt update those entries as: ACTIVELOGDirectory X:\tsmactlog ARCHLOGDirectory Y:\tsmarchlog 5. Run a full backup DB 6. Halt the server 7. Run dsmserv removedb TSMDB1 8. Run dsmserv restore DB todate=today on=dbdir.file 9. Restart the server 10. Move the archivelog from the old directory to the new directory as: Xcopy /s OLDDIRECTORY\* Y:\tsmarchlog Or need to do it in 3 steps ? (meaning 3 halt of server) 1. ACTIVELOG change in dsmserv.opt , halt server and restart server 2. ARCHIVELOG change in dsmser.opt , halt server and restart server 3. DB , backupdb ,halt server , restore DB on=dbfile , restart server TSM server version 7.1.1.200 on Windows 2008R2 64B Best Regards Robert Ouzen
