Tsm server 6.3.4 under redhat 6.7. If I want to increase the size of the tsm active log, must I backup, reformat and restore the database? So far that's all I have found. If not, where is the procedure for extending the log? Thanks for the help.

Re: Upgrade server from 6.3 to 7.1

2016-01-25 Thread Lee, Gary
Yes. Make sure that you have at least double the size of your active and archive logs as available free space in the respective log directories. i.e. . if your active log size is 32 gB, insure that your log directory has more than 64 gB free. Otherwise the database upgrade will fail on install.

has finished. I think this should be comparable to a new install. So basically you need to reduce the size of your active log to 45% (to be sure) of your archive space. After the upgrade has finished you can extend the active log to the old size. Bye Rainer On 26.01.2016 14:17, Lee, Gary wrote
