Are you running a simple TSMv6 Library Manager (LM) service?
I am trying to configure a minimal TSMv6.2 LM service and wondering, what are minimal workable TSMv6.2 DB, Log, and Archlog allocations? We're running an active TSMv5.5 LM service under AIX6.1 for some years now using <1GB each for DB and Log space! [See further below, if interested] I thought these allocations were reasonably generous for TSMv6.2 migration: DB01 = 2GB DB02 = 2GB Log = 4GB [Active Log] Archlog = 8GB [Archive Log] but apparently Active Log space is insufficient; DSMSERV LOADFORMAT fails w/ ANR0370E rdbicbck.c(772) During the format operation, the server cannot create files in one or more directories that you specified for ACTIVELOGDIR. Ensure that the file system where the directory is located has sufficient space. TSMv6.2: Planning to install server: Capacity planning: Active log space: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/topic/com.ibm.itsm.srv.install.doc/c_srv_inst_active_log_space.html says: ... The default size of the active log is 16,384 MB (16 GB). Under normal server operations, you are likely to need an active log that is larger than the default. The maximum size of the active log is 131,072 MB (128 GB). The minimum size of the active log is 2048 MB (2 GB). ... But, that 2GB minimum size seems to be unworkable w/ TSMv6.2: TSMv6.2: ANR Messages: Help for ANR0370E: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r2/topic/com.ibm.itsm.msgs.server.doc/msgs_server336.html says: ... * Check that space is available to the directories that you specified for ACTIVELOGDIR,ARCHIVELOGDIR, and ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIR. Ensure that the amount of space meets requirements. For example, the directory for ACTIVELOGDIR must have at least 8 GB space available. ... Increasing Active Log allocation >8GB, the error goes away, so the ANR0370E message advice is apparently correct! So... How would you configure DB, Log, ArchLog space for this TSMv6.2 LM service? Here's what our TSMv5.5.5 LM Service looks like: [Our LM TSM shares 3 tape libraries w/ 16*LTO2 + 60*LTO3 + 16*LTO5 drives w/ seven active Library Client TSM Backup/Recovery services, and also runs a gaggle of weeknightly differential NDMP backups and weekend DR+full NDMP backups for Oracle DBs and VMware guests on NetApps.] tsm: MGR>q db Session established with server MGR: AIX-RS/6000 Server Version 5, Release 5, Level 5.0 Server date/time: 12/02/2010 21:42:31 Last access: 12/02/2010 14:52:13 Available Assigned Maximum Maximum Page Total Used Pct Max.
