Moving only the database

You can move only the database to new directories.

To move the database from one location on the server to another location, follow this procedure:

1. Back up the database by issuing the following command:

   backup db type=full devclass=files

2. Halt the server.
3. Create directories for the database. The directories must be accessible to the user ID of the database manager. For example:
   

   mkdir /tsmdb005
   mkdir /tsmdb006
   mkdir /tsmdb007
   mkdir /tsmdb008

   

   mkdir l:\tsm\db005
   mkdir m:\tsm\db006
   mkdir n:\tsm\db007
   mkdir o:\tsm\db008

4. Create a file that lists the locations of the database directories. This file will be used if the database must be restored. Enter each location on a separate line. For example, here are the contents of the dbdirs.txt file:
   

   /tsmdb005
   /tsmdb006
   /tsmdb007
   /tsmdb008

   

   l:\tsm\db005
   m:\tsm\db006
   n:\tsm\db007
   o:\tsm\db008

5. Remove the database instance by issuing the following command:

   dsmserv removedb TSMDB1

6. Issue the DSMSERV RESTORE DB utility to move the database to the new directories. For example:

   dsmserv restore db todate=today on=dbdir.file

7. Start the server.
