Resolving The Problem

Perform the following steps to correct the problem. The example uses a Tivoli Storage Manager server instance user ID named "db2inst1" and a server instance directory named /home/db2inst1/tsminst1/.

1. Log on with the Tivoli Storage Manager server instance user ID and verify the name of the error log. For example :
$ grep -i "ERRORLOGNAME" $DSMI_DIR/dsm.sys
ERRORLOGNAME /home/db2inst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.log

   
2. Verify the current ownership of the error log file. For example :
   
$ ls -la /home/db2inst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 834 May 05 09:43 /home/db2inst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.log

   
3. If the error log is not owned by the Tivoli Storage Manager instance user ID, remove it. If the error log is owned by root and you are currently logged on with the server instance userid, you need root authority to remove the file. For example :
   
$ su (enter root password)
# rm /home/db2inst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.log
# exit

   
4. Run the BACKUP DB command and verify successful completion. The error log file is recreated and should now be owned by the Tivoli Storage Manager server instance user ID. For example :
   
$ ls -la /home/db2inst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 db2inst1 db2iadm1 834 May 05 09:50 /home/db2inst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.log
