AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.1.4.0 In our test environment I had forgot to set the db copy and log copy file system to mount automatically upon system boot. Well, in testing something today I performed a reboot of this box. When the TSM server started it issued absolutely NO message what so ever about its db mirror and its log mirror being Off-Line ! OUCH !
So just when the heck does a ANR0214W Database volume volume name is in the offline state - VARY ON required. Explanation: At system startup, the server finds that the specified database volume is in the offline state. System Action: The volume is not accessed. User Response: Determine the reason for the volume being offline; if possible, hvary it online. get issued anyway ? ? ? won't do me much good to monitor for an anr0214 if it is never issued ! but then again, if this is only at startup, the snmp agent probably wouldn't be active yet so the alert would never get out... :-( I don't think this is worth calling in on 4.1 but when I go to 4.2 you can bet I'll be testing for this ! (so tivoli, if you've got your ears on...) Dwight ps. yes the files are offline, yes I even performed client activity that would force db activity, still absolutely NOTHING about them being offline
