It cannot be stressed strongly enough that:
1. As part of implementing any major system, it is absolutely essential that
we
   become familiar with it, which means having read the manuals and having
   become familiar with both the elements of the system and where to look up
   information, particularly problem handling information.
2. That the system be administered, a vital element of which is monitoring,
   particularly for resource shortages.
3. That we investigate early indications of problems, which allows timely
   remediation and prevents them from growing into calamities.

It pains us to see postings like this, where a major system upon which a
company
is depending is needlessly falling apart.  IBM, and the customers
participating
in this mutual-aid mailing list, make great efforts to try to assure that
TSM
systems do what they need to.  It's disappointing to us when a customer
ignores
all the information and ends up in hot water.

As for remediation:

- Boosting the size of the Recovery Log is covered in the Admin Guide
manual,
  under "Increasing the Size of the Database or Recovery Log"
- The dsmadmc command is a client, which interacts with a server once it is
up.
  If the server does not come up, then dsmadmc is obviously useless, and you
  need to deal with the server initialization command itself, which is
  'dsmserv', which is covered in the Admin Guide manual under "Starting the
  server".  The doc indicates that if you run dsmserv with the "quiet"
option,
  then the server starts as a detached daemon - and therefore if you invoke
it
  without that option, you are in interactive mode, where you will see all
  messages and thus problem indications.

Please heed the lessons of this outage and do better for your employer...who
is
depending upon you.
