device configuration file and store the original file in a safe place. Edit the
copy of the file to have temporary manual definitions for the library and the
drive you will use. Follow these guidelines:
•
For the library definition, change the library type to MANUAL and
remove any parameters not allowed for a MANUAL type of library. For
example, you have the library defined in your device configuration file
like this:
DEINE LIBRARY 3582LIB LIBTYPE=SCSI SHARED=YES
You need to change the definition to this:
DEFINE LIBRARY 3582LIB LIBTYPE=MANUAL
•
For the drive definition, remove any parameters that do not apply to a
drive in a manual library. For example, you have the drive defined like
this:
DEFINE DRIVE 3582LIB DR00 ELEMENT=256
You need to change the definition to this:
DEFINE DRIVE 3582LIB DR00
See the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator’s Reference for
details about the
define library
and
define drive
commands.
4. Before unloading the database, estimate how many tapes you will need:
– If the server is
not
running, use the size of your existing physical database
volumes as an estimate of how many tapes to use.
– If the server is running, you can use the following steps to estimate the
number of tapes required:
i.
Request information about the database:
query db
ii. From the output of the command, multiply the used pages by the page
size to determine space occupied by the database.
iii. Use the result to estimate the number of tapes of a specific device
class that you will need to unload the database. The space required will
likely be less than your estimate.
5. Halt the server if it is still running.
6. With the server
not
running, use the DSMSERV UNLOADDB utility to unload
the database. For example, issue this command:
dsmserv unloaddb devclass=lto2-dc scratch=yes
Note: The dsmserv executable is located in the server/bin directory on
UNIX/Linux, and c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\server on Windows.
