Hi Zoltan,

I don't think that restarting the server twice after having modified the 
activelogsize is still necessary as it was the case in early TSM v6 versions. 
You'll tell us.

Be prepared to have a DB backup to automatically start (to the default 
DBRECOVERY device class).

Great.  So just reduce the actlogsize value and restart the server twice.
I have a server whose DB backups constantly fail with the -2428 error since
I set actlogsize to 120GB and the filesystem only has 126GB total space.
