All I can say is that the dsmfmt simply writes "Eric" over and over and over again...
If things grind to a halt, it is probably, simply due to the I/O to the drive/raid array/filesystem Dwight "Ochs, Duane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] M> cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Subject: DSMFMT takes forever ( 15 hours). 100 gb Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU> 09/03/2003 11:22 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" Does anyone know of or had problems with formatting additional space for diskpools ? TSM server : AIX 5.1 ML3 64-bit enabled. 2GB memory 2 cpu H80 Disk type : 6 member raid set about 700 GB JFS2 Trying to format 100gb diskpool. Each time I have tried it brings the TSM server to almost a stand still. TSM is up on the box but nothing is running during 8 hours of the format. Should be more than enough time to format 100gb of space.
