I am in the process of recovering our production TSM server to a test server. Here are the basic steps I am using:
Stop all processes on production server Full backup of database prepare FTP Plan file from Production to Test Eject tape from production library (IBM 3494) Insert tape into test library (IBM3494) Explode the plan file on test Run recovery scripts Now, I am getting the new database volumes defined and formatted, but on the 1st 2 log volumes I get the following: + print Remove server log volume /adsmdb/logvol01.dsm Remove server log volume /adsmdb/logvol01.dsm + rm -f /adsmdb/logvol01.dsm + print Create the server log volume /adsmdb/logvol01.dsm 50M Create the server log volume /adsmdb/logvol01.dsm 50M + /usr/bin/dsmfmt -m -log /adsmdb/logvol01.dsm 50 TIVOLI STORAGE MANAGER by Tivoli AIX Server DSMFMT Extent/Volume Formatting Program Licensed Materials - Property of IBM 5697-TSM (C) Copyright IBM Corporation 1990, 1997.

Actual allocation for /adsmdb/logvol02.dsm will be 53 MB Error writing file /adsmdb/logvol02.dsm, errno = 28 I don't usually work on the aix server (I usually work on OS/390), but, I am the only one available at the moment. What is the errno=28? Did the file not get removed, before allocating the new one? HELP!! Just so you know, I am restoring v 4.1.3.0, to upgrade to and test v 5.1.x.x. The aix server is v4.3.2.
