TSM need volhist.dat to restore DB

[c54444263]

Dear All

In TSM DB recovery procedures,it needs a volhist.dat to restore the DB.
So I have some questions on this.
1 Can volhist.dat be changed?
For example
Operation Date/Time: 2012/09/15 08:06:36

Volume Type: BACKUPFULL
* Location for volume ABCDEFL5 is: ''
Volume Name: "ABCDEFL5"
Backup Series: 11
Backup Op: 0
Volume Seq: 10001
Device Class Name: xxxCLASS

After changing the Operation Date/Time or Backup Series,the restoration still work?

2 If we lose volhist.dat, how to restore the DB?

If you know the name of your DBB volume, then just restore by naming that volume on the command line:

this is an older version of TSM, but we're still on version 5.

a basic example would be:
dsmserv restore db devclass=8MM volumenames=tape01,tape01 commit=yes
