IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.2 Fix Pack 2 (6.2.2) Server Downloads
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.1 Fix Pack 5 (6.1.5) Server Downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Changes to ARCHLOGDIRECTORY, MIRRORLOGDIRECTORY or
  ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY may not be updated in the database
  manger config if both of the following conditions are true.
    -1-
    restore db with "on" parameter is done on a new system
    -2-
    dsmserv.opt contains changes to ARCHLOGDIRECTORY,
  MIRRORLOGDIRECTORY, or ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY compared to
  original system
  If both of the above conditions are true, the restore will
  update the location of the database and the active log.  It
  will not update the database manager config with the new
  settings for ARCHLOGDIRECTORY, MIRRORLOGDIRECTORY, or
  ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY.
  To confirm the current database manager config issue the
  following command as the instance user:
    db2
    From the db2 prompt type the following commands:
      connect to tsmdb1
      get db cfg
    The get db cfg will output
           Overflow log path               (OVERFLOWLOGPATH)
           Mirror log path                   (MIRRORLOGPATH)
           Failover log archive path          (FAILARCHPATH)
  Initial Impact: Medium
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: All 6.1/6.2
  

Local fix

• Edit the logattr.chk text file in the same directory as the
  dsmserv.opt to contain the ARCHLOGDIRECTORY, MIRRORLOGDIRECTORY,
  ARCHFAILOVERLOGDIRECTORY paths used on the original system.
  This will cause the server to update the database manager
  during the next start with the options as currently specified
  in the dsmserv.opt.
