I'd suggest making you db a series of small dbvols not one great big huge one. 4 x 30G vols for instance.

I have a new server running TSM 5.2.2 server with AIX 5.2. I went to create the data base file which I'm planning 130GB. The logical volume was created for 130GB and was called /dbaa1vpth0 and large files are turned on. The command I initially issued was dsmfmt -m -db /dbaa1vpth0/db 130000 It returned an error that said that the file could not exceed 68234123 or something close to that. What finally worked as I went down in size to 65001 dsmfmt -m -db /dbaa1vpth0/db 65001 which is 1/2 of the size I was expecting. I've read the dsmfmt command(Administrator's reference) and I did not see a limit. Is 65001 a limit or when I do the dsmserv command does it double in size for some reason? I'm sure it's an obvious question but I'm a little lost of this one. Have a Great Day, Eric Jones > * [EMAIL PROTECTED] > *: 607-751-4133 Cell : 607-972-7621
