It's not a requirement, I am just acting on IBM's recommendation to put the log on a single volume for performance reasons. 2 would still be better than the 8 I have now.

But why do you have a requirement to have only 1 log file? The log is written sequentially, so I don't see that it would hurt you to have two 6.5 GB logs, instead of one 13GB log... -----Original Message----- From: Thach, Kevin G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 2:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Question about recovery log That's what I do with my DB, but by defining the new log volume and adding it, I will be over the 13GB limit until I've removed all the old volumes. Will TSM let me do that? I guess I could try it and see. -----Original Message----- From: Davidson, Becky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 2:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Question about recovery log Define the new and add it and then delete the old.

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I currently have eight, 1GB log volumes, and I'm wanting to replace these with a single 13GB volume. Normally, I would just create and define the new volume using the def dbvol command, and then remove the old volumes, but since there is a 13GB limit on the recovery log, I can't do that. What's the best way for me to do this? Is there any way I can do it with the server up and running? Switch to Normal mode, remove the old volumes, create the new one, etc. I'm assuming that TSM will not allow me to completely get rid of all my log volumes while the server is up (even if in Normal mode), which is what I would have to do in order to add the 13GB one. Do I need to shut down the server, remove the old volumes and define the new one with the dsmfmt -m -log command? I'm running TSM 5.1.7.3 on AIX 5.1 Thanks!
