   Administering a BEA Tuxedo Application at Run Time

Periodically, you may need to perform the following tasks to maintain your file system:

• Print the Universal Device List

• Print VTOC information

• Reinitialize a device

• Create a device list

• Destroy a device list

  Note: This file format is used for TUXCONFIG, TLOG, and /Q.

How to Print the Universal Device List (UDL)

To print a UDL, complete the following procedure.

1. Run tmadmin -c.

2. Enter the following command.

   lidl

3. To specify the device from which you want to obtain the UDL, you have a choice of two methods:

   • Specify the device on the lidl command line.

     -z device_name [devindx]

   • Set the environment variable FSCONFIG to the name of the desired device.

To print VTOC information, complete the following procedure.

1. Run tmadmin -c.

2. To get information about all VTOC table entries, enter the following command.

   livtoc

3. To specify the device from which you want to obtain the VTOC, you have a choice of two methods:

   • Specify the following on the lidl command line.

     -z device name [devindx]

   • Set the environment variable FSCONFIG to the name of the desired device.

To reinitialize a device that is included on a device list, complete the following procedure.

1. Run tmadmin -c.

2. Enter the following command.

   initdl [-z devicename] [-yes] devindx

   Note: The value of devindx is the index to the file to be destroyed.

3. You can specify the device by:

   • Entering its name after the -z option (as shown here), or

   • Setting the environment variable FSCONFIG to the device name

4. If you include the -yes option on the command line, you are not prompted to confirm your intention to destroy the file before the file is actually destroyed.

To create a device list, complete the following procedure.

1. Run tmadmin -c.

2. Enter the following command.

   crdl [-z devicename] [-b blocks]

   • The value of devicename [devindx] is the desired device name. (Another way to assign a name to a new device is by setting the FSCONFIG environment variable to the desired device name.)

   • The value of blocks is the number of blocks needed. The default is 1000 blocks.

     Note: Because 35 blocks are needed for the administrative overhead associated with a TLOG, be sure to assign a value higher than 35 when you create a TLOG.

To destroy a device list with index devindx, complete the following procedure.

1. Run tmadmin -c.

2. Enter the following command.

   dsdl [-z devicename] [yes] [devindx]

   Note: The value of devindx is the index to the file to be destroyed.

3. You can specify the device by:

   • Entering its name after the -z option (as shown here), or

   • Setting the environment variable FSCONFIG to the device name

4. If you include the yes option on the command line, you are not prompted to confirm your intention to destroy the file before the file is actually destroyed.
