Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All Tivoli Storage Manager server users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The directories named "RstDbLog", * * "archmeth1", and "failarch" are * * created by the Tivoli Storage Manager * * server with universal permissions, * * 777, or drwxrwxrwx. These are archive * * log directories used by the Tivoli * * Storage Manager server. These * * directories are created in the * * directory specified on the DSMSERV * * FORMAT command using the options * * ARCHLogdir, ARCHFailoverlogdir, and * * MIRRorlogdir. The configuration * * wizard and upgrade wizard that can be * * used to create the Tivoli Storage * * Manager server instance can also * * perform the DSMSERV FORMAT function. * * These directories can be changed to * * 750 for the permissions drwxr-x--- * * and it is suggested that all users * * of the Tivoli Storage Manager server * * running a version 6 server make this * * change to the directory permissions. * * Anytime the DSMSERV FORMAT command is * * executed, the directory permissions * * must be changed again unless the * * directories already existed when * * the command was executed. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply fixing level when available. This * * problem is currently projected to be fixed * * in level and 6.2.3. Note that * * this is subject to change at the * * discretion of IBM. * **************************************************************** *
