Hi Farren, as copy 1 is still off-line you can handle the LOG the same as the DB. It works fine, no problem. After creating the space on OS and doing the logcopy it fills the new volume from the one that's still online. Good luck. Jop de Graaf Certified Tivoli Consultant/Instructor

However, the log volume that got lost was Copy 1 (see below), so what do I do now? Do I try and make a copy of the remaining good copy (Copy 2), or do I use dsmfmt to recreate the Copy 1 file that is missing and bring that back on-line? I'm just being extra careful here as I don't want to do anything to cause me more problems. My log volumes look as follows :- Operation Results Volume Name Copy Volume Name Copy Volume Name Copy (Copy 1) Status (Copy 2) Status (Copy 3) Status ---------------- ------ ---------------- ------ ---------------- ------ /usr/tsmdbs/log- Off-L- /usr/tsmdbs/log- Sync'd Undefined 02/dblog01.dsm ine 01/logcopy01.dsm Many thanks in advance.
