Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris Administrator's Reference
Use this command to reload a dumped TSM database in optimal order.
No other server activity is allowed while reloading the database.
Perform the applicable steps in this order:
- When recovering from a failure use the DSMSERV LOADFORMAT and create
a new database and recovery log.
Attention: Do not reinitialize DISK storage pool
volumes.
- Save the current sequential volume history to a file. The load
process regresses the sequential volume history information.
- The DSMSERV LOADDB command specifies a device class to be used when
reading the database information. Ensure that a device configuration
file that includes the definitions for this device class and for any required
libraries and drives is available.
Attention: The DSMSERV LOADDB command only supports the use
of manual libraries (LIBTYPE=MANUAL in the DEFINE LIBRARY command).
- Issue the DSMSERV LOADDB command.
- A message at the end of the output from the DSMSERV LOADDB indicates if
you must audit the database. If the server was quiesced when it was
halted and the DSMSERV DUMPDB was issued, you do not need to audit the
database. Otherwise, you must issue the DSMSERV AUDITDB command to
ensure that the database is returned to a synchronized state after it is
reloaded. If there was any storage pool volume activity after the dump,
audit the volumes by using the AUDIT VOLUME command.
- Audit all disk volumes.
- Use the volume history information to identify sequential volumes to be
audited. Audit all volumes that have been reused after the last
dump. Any volumes that were deleted from TSM are also to be recorded in
the sequential volume history file. If these volumes are available, try
to audit them. If they are not available, delete references to them
with the DELETE VOLUME command and the DISCARDDATA=YES parameter.

'-FILE:file_name-----'
Parameters
- DEVclass
- Specifies the device class to be used when reading the database
information. This parameter is required.
- VOLumenames (Required)
- Specifies the volumes needed to load the database. Possible values
are:
- volume_name
- The names of the volumes. To specify multiple volumes, separate the
names with commas and no intervening spaces. List the volumes in the
order in which they were used for the DSMSERV DUMPDB command.
- FILE:file_name
- The name of a file that contains a list of the volumes. Each volume
name must be on a separate line in the order in which they were used for the
DSMSERV DUMPDB command.
Examples
Task 1
Load the database from the DB0001, DB0002, and DB0003 tapes.
- Command:
-
dsmserv loaddb devclass=tapeclass
volumenames=db0001,db0002,db0003
Task 2
Load the database using tapes listed in the ADSM.VOLLIST
file.
- Command:
-
dsmserv loaddb devclass=tapeclass
volumenames=file:adsm.vollist
