Hi, Windows admin guide 5.2 says that you can define a dbcopy or logcopy with "define dbcopy(logc) vol1 e:\dbvol\vola formatsize=25". So I tested it on my 5.2.2.5 server.
TSM:SERVER1> define logcopy E:\TSM\TSMLOG\log01.dsm E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM formatsize=2500 ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: DEFINE LOGCOPY E: \TSM\TSMLOG\log01.dsm E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM formatsize=2500 ANR9969E Unable to open volume E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM. The most likely reason is that another TSM server is running and has the volume allocated. ANR2404E DEFINE LOGCOPY: Volume E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM is not available. TSM:SERVER1> Help define logcopy doesnt show any information about the formatsize parameter? Obviously the failure is because I havent formatted a mirror volume. Should "define dbcopy vol1 e:\dbvol\vola formatsize=25" work? And, will this differ in TSM? dsmfmt -db E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM 2500 DEFINE LOGCOPY E:\TSM\TSMLOG\log01.dsm E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM With define logv E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM formatsize=2500 del logv E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM DEFINE LOGCOPY E:\TSM\TSMLOG\log01.dsm E:\TSM\TSMLOG\LOG01M.DSM Not the most practical way to do it, I know, but it works from web gui............ //Henrik ------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended for the addressee only.
