Gerhard, yes : "ANR7837S Internal error LOGSEG871 detected" indicates full log space.
Here is our receipt: - prepare a new logvolume (100 MB are enough) : dsmfmt -m -log 'new_log-vol-name' 100 - start the Server with : cd $DSMSERV_DIR dsmserv extend log 'new_log-vol-name' 100 TSM Server starts and performs log-extension, Recovery log analysis, Recovery log redo and Recovery log undo (duration: 1/2 to an hour - at our site (similar size);-). Then the server halts itself. Before you start the server in normal environment, start with 'DISABLESCHEDS YES' in the server.opt file (disables admin and client schedules) and perform a database backup. Now the server can be started in normal environment ('DISABLESCHEDS NO'). With 5 GB log space i asume you run in 'ROLLFORWARD' mode, so adjust your DATABASEBACKUP TRIGGER. We use 8 GB log space and are now at 50% LOGFULL Percentage to fire an incremental DB backup. Hope it helps Peter Sternecker R+V Allgemeine Versicherung AG * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Gerald Wichmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 10.

It looks to me like it ran out of log space but just wanted to confirm that as it's been a while since I've had this happen. How do I proceed to restart my TSM server at this point?
