Hi Geoff, when I do a ddb restore with the devc and volume it is in a scenario where the config files are not available. I would try it without the config files because the db/log volumes in the config files might not match, but be sure to define the devc on the new system first mannually
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Markus Veit An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopie: Thema: DB restore questions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received : 04.07.2003 06:44 Bitte antworten an "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" Ok, I'm working on a test to restore the DB on my test server. At the moment I've hit a wall and wonder if someone can shed some light. The server is an H50, AIX5.1 TSM 5.1.7, the library is an automated 3494, the drives are fiber attached 3590's. I installed AIX5.1, TSM 5.1.7, which is what was on it before. I've formatted DB and log space. I have the volhist file, devconf, dsmserv.opt and dsmserv.dsk I saved. I did notice the tape drives came up in a different order so I changed the devconf file. I decided to fly by night and create DB and logs with a name I would dream up just in case I was the one who got whacked and someone else needed to do this without much help. Not sure if that is an issue. I put the files back where they belong, the library is available because mtlib commands work. The question is why do I get this output when trying to restore? I looked up the error and it doesn't make sense because the db is formatted and there. The size of the file is large enough, 15GB, to restore a db backup that really has nothing in it except 2 computers I've been backing up to test. # dsmserv restore db vol=U01936 dev=3590 commit=YES ANR7800I DSMSERV generated at 08:09:53 on Jun 4 2003.
