This message is issued in one of two cases: 1) The server has been restarted after an incomplete RESTORE DB. In order to start the server, you must restore the database to a consistent state using the DSMSERV RESTORE DB command; 2) During server operation, an error condition occurred such that the TSM server cannot continue. This message is issued, and the server halts. Before you can start the server again, you need to use the DSMSERV RESTORE DB command to restore the database.
Server initialization stops, or the server stops.
If there are other messages issued with this error message which have instructions associated with them, follow the instructions in those messages. Then issue the DSMSERV RESTORE DB command. For complete details on this command, refer to the Administrator’s Reference. After the DSMSERV RESTORE DB command completes successfully, restart the TSM server.
