Use the following utilities to re-establish your server database if a
catastrophic error occurs, and the database cannot be recovered effectively
using the DSMSERV RESTORE DB utility. These utilities are presented in
the order in which they must be processed.
Table 325. Database Salvage Utilities
Utility | Description | Reference Page |
---|---|---|
DSMSERV AUDITDB | Verifies database information | DSMSERV AUDITDB (Verify Database Information) |
DSMSERV DUMPDB | Dumps the database | DSMSERV DUMPDB (Dump the Database) |
DSMSERV FORMAT | Initializes the database and recovery log | DSMSERV FORMAT (Format the Database and Log) |
DSMSERV LOADDB | Reloads the database | DSMSERV LOADDB (Reload the Database) |
The DSMSERV DUMPDB and DSMSERV LOADDB utilities use the device configuration file. This file contains a copy of the device class, library, and drive definitions that exist in your database. TSM automatically creates and maintains a current device configuration file if you specify the DEVCONFIG option in the server options file. You can also create the file by using the BACKUP DEVCONFIG command. If no device configuration file has been maintained or created, you must manually create one with an editor. For information on how to create a device configuration file manually, see Administrator's Guide
