Hi Zoltan! It's probably a permission issue on the dsmserv.dbid, checkout the IBM Technote 21641644: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21641644 Kind regards, Eric van Loon AF/KLM Storage Engineering
-----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Zoltan Forray Sent: maandag 10 februari 2014 20:20 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Restoring Linux 6.1 server DB to new machine I am testing a restore and conversion/upgrade of my last 6.1 server, before it becomes a pumpkin in April! I am having issues following the wonderful, detail, draft manual, since it doesn't give specifics as to who I should be when I perform various tasks. For instance, after installing and configuring 6.1, the restore process says to do a "dsmserv removedb TSMDB1". But it fails to tell me (and the command failed) that I should be logged in as the DB2 instance user (tsminst1), not root. Yes, all filesystems have the proper ownership. So, I figured I would need to stay as the DB2 instance (vs root), for the restore process. While most of the restore process seemed to go OK, I had some errors that seem to indicate I should have been root. In the beginning of the dsmserv restore db, I got this error: *rm: cannot remove `/tsmarchlog': Permission denied* *mkdir: cannot create directory `/tsmarchlog': File exists* Of course this confused me since I needed to define these for the install process and the book didn't say I should delete it, so why would the restore try to recreate them? But since the empty directory was already there with the proper ownership, I ignored it. Then after the restore ran for 2-hours (200GB DB and low-power test machine), it ends with this: *ANR4917I Point-in-time database restore with snapshot complete, restore date 01/16/2014 09:18:53 AM.* *ANR0222E Error opening for write disk definition file dsmserv.dbid.* *Error 2104 updating database ID file.* *ANR2988W Attempt to add the last backup db volume used entry back in to the volume history was unsuccessful.* The ever helpful user manual for ANR0222E says "Attempt to determine the cause of the write error and correct it." - Thanks, guys...... This sounds more serious? Before I waste another 2-hours, should I start all over again, doing the restore via root or is this something I can correct, and how? Thoughts?
