Use this command to extend the size of the recovery log when you need additional log space to restart the server. After the server is running, you can do the following:
Note: | Use the DSMFMT utility to format a new recovery log volume. |
Syntax
>>-DSMSERV EXTEND LOG--volume_name--megabytes------------------><
Parameters
Specify either a regular file name or, if you are using a raw partition, a symbolic link to a character special file. A regular file name can be either a fully qualified path name or a path name relative to the current working directory. For example, if the file name is mainvol and the current working directory is /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin, the volume name would be:
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/mainvol
A symbolic link to a character special file would be entered in the format:
/dev/.../rdsk/.../fn
Where /... is zero or more directories and fnis the file name. For example,
/dev/rdsk/c1t3d0s6
Note: | TSM cannot always detect if data already exists on a raw partition. Existing data can be destroyed if you define a volume to that partition. |
Examples
Task
The server halts, and there is not enough recovery log space to restart. After you have formatted a 21MB volume named new.reclog, extend the recovery log using the new volume.
dsmserv extend log new.reclog 20
