Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Administrator's Reference
Use this command to format the database and recovery log for a subsequent
DSMSERV LOADDB or DSMSERV RESTORE DB.
You must run a DSMSERV LOADFORMAT before you run a DSMSERV LOADDB.
After you run a DSMSERV LOADFORMAT, you must run a DSMSERV LOADDB or DSMSERV
RESTORE DB before the server will start.
Notes:
- If a DSMSERV LOADFORMAT was run, and a DSMSERV LOADDB cannot be run, you
can restore the database to a point in time with a DSMSERV RESTORE DB.
See DSMSERV RESTORE DB (Restore the Database) for additional information.
- When a database is loaded or restored, the server-to-server communication
verification token is changed. The verification token is an attribute
of the database and is not stored in the database itself. Part of the
token is the install date and time for the database. For servers that
have been defined for server-to-server communications, you must issue an
UPDATE SERVER command with FORCESYNC=YES.

Parameters
- -k key_name
- Specifies the server instance. The default is SERVER1.
- number_of_log_files (Required)
- Specifies the number of recovery log files.
- log_file_name
- Specifies one or more recovery log file names. The files must not
exist before you issue the command, or the command fails.
The number of names must match the number specified by the
number_of_log_files parameter. The minimum size for the log is
9MB.
- log_size (Required)
- Specifies the size of the recovery log file in megabytes. The
minimum size is 9MB.
- file:log_file_name
- Specifies the name of a file that contains a list of recovery log volume
names and sizes (one name and size per line) used to format the recovery
log. If the files exist before you issue the command, the command
fails.
It is recommended that you specify a fully-qualified name enclosed in
single quotes so that you will not be affected by data set name qualification
rules that depend on your operating environment.
The number of names must match the number specified by the
number_of_log_files parameter. You must list the volumes in
the order in which they are to be used. The minimum size for the log is
9MB.
- number_of_db_files (Required)
- Specifies the number of database files.
- db_file_name
- Specifies one or more database file names. If the files exist
before you issue the command, the command fails.
The number of names must match the number specified by the
number_of_db_files parameter. The minimum size for the
database is 5MB.
- db_size (Required)
- Specifies the size of the database in megabytes. The minimum size
is 5MB.
- file:db_file_name
- Specifies the name of a file that contains a list of database volume names
and sizes (one name and size per line). The files must not exist
before you issue the command or the command fails.
The number of names must match the number specified by the
number_of_db_files parameter. You must list the volumes in the
order they are to be used. The minimum size for the database is
5MB.
Examples
Task:
To prepare to recover the first server on a Windows NT system, change to
the directory that contains the server executable and issue the DSMSERV
LOADFORMAT command. For example, from a Windows NT prompt, enter the
following commands:
- cd c:\program
files\tivoli\tsm\server
- dsmserv loadformat 1 log1.dsm 9 1 db1.dsm 13
Because the -k parameter is not specified, Tivoli Storage Manager creates
an NT registry key named Server1.
Use the following example to prepare to recover an additional server on a
Windows NT machine. The server is installed in the
c:\"program
files"\tivoli\tsm\server directory and TCP/IP is
the communications method used.
- Note:
- If you have installed Tivoli Storage Manager in a different location,
substitute that location for the one listed in the example below.
- From the c:\"program
files"\tivoli\tsm directory, enter the following commands
to create a new directory and change into that directory:
md server2
cd server2
- From the c:\"program
files"\tivoli\tsm\server2 directory, enter the
following commands:
..\utils\dsmloadformat -data data1.dsm 4
..\server\dsmserv -k server2 loadformat 1 log1.dsm 9 1 db1.dsm 13
..\server\dsmserv -k server2 runfile ..\server\initnode.dat
..\server\dsmserv -k server2 runfile ..\server\dsmserv.idl
..\utils\adsm
- From the tree view, select Server Options.
- From the list, select Server2.
- Click Edit.
- Select TCP/IP and Port Address.
- Change the value for the Port Address to 1501.
- Click on the Client Settings button to view the parameters the
clients must use in the Client Options File to connect to the new
server.
- Click OK .
- Enter ..\server\dsmserv -k server2
to start the new server.
- Install the server
