Dwight, Right you are! The DSMSERV EXTEND LOG command requires the size parameter to be 1 less than the DSMFMT command previously issued. Go figure.
Any how, I now find that the TSM 3.7.2 log file max might just be 5.5GB and the 'extend log' command requires the 1mb reduction. Thanks to all, John G.

Subject: RE: Recover log at 5120MB and full - Cannot start TSM Importance: High I'd try your dsmserv extend log newlogfilename <something_like_8> or would it be 9 based on their rules ? ? ? I think because you specified 13, it actually might have tried to take it up to something like 17... OK, remember that an "extend" says I want x bytes... sure your dsmfmt put down a 13 MB file (12 for use and 1 for overhead) but your extend 13 says I want to use 13 and you only have 12 -----Original Message----- From: Talafous, John G.

TSM 3.7.2 (out of support) on AIX 4.3.2 and the recovery log is full. I've performed the following: dsmfmt -m -log newlogfilename 13 dsmserv extend log newlogfilename 13 The extend fails with ANR2447E EXTEND LOG: Insufficient space to extend recovery log by requested amount. I then did a dsmserv dumpdb dev=3590 which executed successfully. However, this did not reset the recovery log. The server still will not come up. Now what do I do? Format and reload?
