Thanks to all who responded and helped get our server back up and running. Now comes the task of figuring out what caused the recovery log to fill up in the first place and prevent it from happening again. Does anyone have any tips and tricks on determining what/who is using recovery log space?

My notes agree with the person who said that the Extend size has to be a multiple of 4 and 1 less than the DSMFMT size. (What the other person said about max size being 5G, might cause this to not work, though.) If server will not start because the recovery log is full: 1) Find a location for an extra recovery log file 2) DSMFMT -LOG <fullfn> <size1> -- where size1 = 4x+1, where x => 2 3) DSMSERV EXTEND LOG <fullfn> <size2> -- where size2 = size1-1 4) DSMSERV -- to start the server normally 5) Solve the problem that caused the recovery log to fill. 6) After the server is up, either create a mirror for this recovery log or preferably remove it from use.
