morning all,
I installed on Linux for testing/practicing but dsmserv.dsk has not been created and is nowhere on the system.
What can I do to create this file?

TIA
Cheers
 
The dsnserv.dsk is the storage volume for your primary pool. You will need to create this volume for the pool you are wanting to use.
 

Is it? I thought it was a configuration file? But TSM won't start up without it...

Cheers
 
Once the TSM Server is installed.
Then we need to create the database volume, log volume and
storage pool volume.

The command to create the volume:

The values that I use are just examples.
dsmfmt -m -db /path/dbvol_name 20 <- This will create a 20MB dbvolume.

dsmfmt -g -log /path/logvol_name 2 <- This will create a 2GB log volume.
The max size for the dbvolume is about 500GB.

The max size for the recovery log is 13GB.
Do not create a log that is 13GB.
If the log is over committed, and the TSM Server crash.
Only solution is to restore the database to a point in time before the recovery log got over committed.

dsmfmt -g -data /path/datavol_name 4 <- This will create a 4GB volume for the diskpool.
You do not have to create the data volume now.
The volume can be defind once the TSM Server is running.

In the TSM Reference Guide look up the command DSMFMT to get the syntax.

Once the dbvolume and logvolume are created with the dsmfmt command.
The next step is to format the dbvolume and the logvolume.

The syntax:
dsmserv format #log_logvolume /path/log_volume_name #dbvolume /path/dbvolume_name

This will format the dbvolume and the logvolume, once this complete. Then the dsmserv.dsk file will be created.

In the TSM Reference Manual look up the syntax dsmserv format.

I think there is information in the Quick Start Guide also.

Here is the link to the TSM Server running on Linux:


Good Luck,
Sais
