Tivoli Header
Administrator's Reference
Use this command to initialize the server database and recovery log.
No other server activity is allowed while initializing the database and
recovery log.
Attention:
- In ADSM Version 2, this was the DSMSERV INSTALL command.
- Do not use this command to install an ADSM Version 3 or Tivoli Storage
Manager server over an ADSM Version 1 or Version 2 server. Any data
that exists in the files you specify will be lost.
- Do not use this command to install a Tivoli Storage Manager server if you
are going to perform a DSMSERV LOADDB; use the DSMSERV LOADFORMAT utility
instead.

Parameters
- 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 exist
before you issue the command. If you used DSMFMT to create your files,
specify the names here, for example logvol1. If you are
using logical volumes, add the prefix /dev/r to the name.
For example, the filelogvol1 would become
/dev/rlogvol1.
The number of names must match the number specified by the
number_of_log_files parameter. The minimum size for the log is
9MB.
- file:log_file_name
- Specifies the name of a file that contains a list of recovery log
volumes. The files must exist before you use the DSMSERV FORMAT
command.
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. The files must exist
before you issue the command. If you used DSMFMT to create your files,
specify the names here, for example dbvol1. If you are using
logical volumes, add the prefix /dev/r to the filenames. For
example, the filedbvol1 would become
/dev/rdbvol1.
The number of names must match the number specified by the
number_of_db_files parameter. The minimum size for the
database is 5MB.
- file:db_file_name
- Specifies the name of a file that contains a list of database
volumes.
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 1
Initialize two log volumes (logvol1 and logvol2) and
one database volume (dbvol1):
- Command:
-
dsmserv format 2 logvol1 logvol2 1 dbvol1
Task 2
Initialize the recovery log and database volumes by specifying files
containing the volume names:
- File log.vols contains the file names:
logvol1
logvol2
- File db.vols contains the file names:
dbvol1
dbvol2
dbvol3
- Command:
-
dsmserv format 2 file:log.vols 3 file:db.vols
