Use server utilities to perform special tasks on the server
while the server is not running.
DSMMAXSG (Increase the block size for writing data)
Use the DSMMAXSG utility to increase
the maximum transfer length for host bus adapters (HBAs). As a result,
the block size that is used by the Tivoli® Storage
Manager server for
writing data to and getting data from certain types of tape drives
is increased.
DSMSERV (Start the server)
Use this utility to start the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
You might be asked to specify the RUNFILE parameter after you install
maintenance or a new version of Tivoli Storage
Manager.
Server startup script: rc.dsmserv
You can use the rc.dsmserv script
in your system startup to automatically start a server instance under
a specific user ID.
Server startup script: dsmserv.rc
You can use the dsmserv.rc script
to stop a server instance, or manually or automatically start a server.
DSMSERV DISPLAY DBSPACE (Display information about database storage space)
Use this utility to display information about
storage space
that is defined for the database. The output of this utility is the
same as the output of QUERY DBSPACE, but you can use this utility
when the server is not running.
DSMSERV DISPLAY LOG (Display recovery log information)
Use
this utility to display information about recovery
logs including the active log, the mirror for the active log, the
failover directory for the archive log, and the overflow location
for logs. Use this utility when the server is not running.
DSMSERV EXTEND DBSPACE (Increase space for the database)
Use this utility to increase space for the database by
adding directories for the database to use. This utility performs
the same function as the EXTEND DBSPACE command,
but you can use it when the server is not running.
DSMSERV FORMAT (Format the database and log)
Use the DSMSERV FORMAT utility to initialize
the server database and recovery log. No other server activity is
allowed while initializing the database and recovery log.
DSMSERV INSERTDB (Move a server database into an empty database)
Use the DSMSERV
INSERTDB utility to move a server database into a new database.
The database can be extracted from the original server and inserted
into a new database on the new server by using a network connection
between the two servers. The database can also be inserted from media
that contains the extracted database.
DSMSERV LOADFORMAT (Format a database)
Use the DSMSERV
LOADFORMAT utility when upgrading from Version 5. The utility
formats an empty database in preparation for inserting an extracted
database into the empty database.
