Start with
dsmfmt -log name of new logvol -g #ofbytes (check the manual to
see if I have this in the right order)When the format is thru
dsmserv extendlog new logvol #of bytes (check the manual to see
if extend is one or two words)When the log is defined bring up the system as normal.
We have found that it is better to never let the log exceed 10-11 Gb when the system is in rollforward mode. Even if we have a log full situation in the middle of the night, the above procedure takes minutes and the system is up and going. Then we delete the new logvol at the first chance. If the full 13 Gb is allotted to the log and it fills, the solution is to restore the DB. In our case, that's 150 Gb and hours of down time.

About 4AM this morning, it appears that my TSMseverer (windows 2K, TSM server 4.3) won't start.
I try starting the sever in a console window and it tells me that the log files are over full. How can I add another log file and format it without having the server start?
(the log files I watch daily and have never been over their high water mark of about 78% full, and I have 6G allocated for a database of about 30G)
Suggestions? ...
