John, I see one thing wrong. Try the following:
dsmfmt -m -log newlogfilename 13 dsmserv extend log newlogfilename 12 The log file requires 1 MB of overhead, therefore the size in the last command should be 12, not 13. I hope this applies to your case. I am running TSM 4.1.4.0 on AIX 4.3.3. I had a similar problem not long ago. Jonathan DeForest Lansing Community College Lansing, MI "Talafous, John G." To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Talafous@TIMK cc: EN.COM> Subject: Recover log at 5120MB and full - Cannot start Sent by: TSM "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> 12/17/2001 10:22 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" I'm down! 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? Please advise ASAP. John G. Talafous IS Technical Principal The Timken Company Global Software Support P.O. Box 6927 Data Management 1835 Dueber Ave. S.W.
