If I understand correctly, I believe you are looking for the VARY ONLINE command.

I don`t find a command to get the status from off-line to sync (for example: update dbcopy.....) The situation: I want to make a copy-synconisation of the db and log - Files (3 times) No problem: define dbcopy/logcopy .... works wonderful. The Server is a Windows 2003 with tsm 5.3.2.2 One Copy is on the disk D: the other 2 Copies are on a raid-system. Now the problem: If one disk has no connection to the system (hardware-error, net-problems...) the tsm-system works wonderful further with the disk, which is accessible for the system. And the non accessible disks changed the status from sync to off-line. To change the status from off-line to sync, we need two commands: delete dbvol ... and define dbcopy ... The same problem is with the log-files. I need the command update dbcopy/logcopy ... Can somebody help me by this wish?
