Hi guys I have a curly one here. TSM 7.1.1.300 on AIX 7.1
I'm preparing for a DR test. The DR process is that the TSM instance directory, database, logs and disk/file storage pools reside on an IBM V840 flash device. These are mirrored to the DR site using remote copy. The old way was to use the remote copy directly, the new way is to run a flashcopy backup of the remote-copied volumes and mount those. Old process or new I get the same error. It last worked November last year. On my test instance, when I start at prime site as the instance user, it finds the instance directory /tsm/wtsmt01. It then opens the dsmserv.opt and initialization completes as usual. When I start at the DR site, also as the instance user, with the same filesystems mounted, and in the instance directory, it does not find the instance directory, but tries to use the root directory. Obviously the dsmserv.opt file is not found and the process goes down hill from there. Primary: ANR0900I Processing options file /tsm/wtsmt01/dsmserv.opt. DR: ANR0905W Options file /dsmserv.opt not found. ANR0010W Unable to open message catalog for language en_AU.8859-15. The default language message catalog will be used. ANR7811I Using instance directory . I have compared the two sets of environment variables and they are identical, apart from obvious things like PID and RANDOM. According to the doc, the instance directory is supposed to be set from the DB2 instance directory. This is checked with db2 get dbm cfg | grep DFTDBPATH and is the same on both boxes. I even explicitly set it again on the DR side to no effect. TSM Support has been no help. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Even some idea of how to trace what's happening would be useful.
