>From the manual "Student's Trainig Guide, Tivoli Storage Managmer 4.1 Enhancements, >Tuning and Trableshooting" (March 2001), Unit 1, pag. 1-11: ----------- The new dsmserv loadformat command replases the dsmserv format command when used in conjunction with dsmserv loaddb or dsmserv restore db.
dsmserv loadformat creates and formats the database. It also initializes default values and dsmserv upgradedb might under some circumstances not create the new values that may come with the new code versions, ---------- The teacher of the "TSM advanced course" advise me to not unload/load db. Do it only under the supervision of the tivoli laboratory staff. The DB could become 3 times bigger!! Regards Paolo Nasca Cleis Technology I-16124 Genova (ITALY) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------- If I want to do a unload/load DB for maintenance reasons, do I still need to do the DSMSERV Format part, or is this just for when you lose the database. These are the steps I found in the manual: 1) DSMSERV Dumpdb 2) DSMSERV Format (init database & recovery logs) 3) DSMSERV Loaddb 4) DSMSERV Auditdb (if necessary) Is there anything else I need to do, or should be aware of Thanks Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
