IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Reducing the size of the active log

You can reduce the size of the active log during the startup of the Tivoli® Storage Manager server.

Procedure

If you have too much active log space, you can reduce the size of the active log by completing the following steps:

  1. Stop the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
  2. In the dsmserv.opt file, change the ACTIVELOGSIZE option to the new size of the active log, in megabytes. For example, to reduce the active log by 8 GB, enter the following server option:
    dsmserv activelogsize 8000
  3. Restart the server.

Results

When you reduce the size of the active log, you must restart the Tivoli Storage Manager server twice. The first restart changes the DB2 parameters. The second restart removes the log files that are no longer required on the disk.
