I see no reason why you can't make a copy of the padsm.db.copy6 volume:
def dbc padsm.db.copy6 padsm.db.prim6a
that should work just fine.
On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with doing:
def dbc padsm.db.prim6 padsm.db.prim6a
either, since if prim6 is not available, it will get the data from copy6.
If you delete prim6, then copy6 will become "copy 1" and prim6a will
become "copy 2".
While I do not work on the TSM server, as far as I know, there is no real
hierarchical relationship between db volume copies. They are all equal,
with the "copy 1", "copy 2", "copy 3" designations being for convenience.

Subject: DB Copy Volume Issues
I have a DB volume offline and apparently it has errors on it that prevent
it from being brought back online: PADSM.DB.PRIM6. I have defined
another
volume: PADSM.DB.PRIM6A to take it's place. I'm not allowed to delete
the
offline volume until Sunday, but I was hoping to add the new volume today.
When I went to create a copy it only wanted to allow me to add a copy of
PADSM.DB.PRIM6 and PADSM.DB.COPY6 was never an option. If I were to
create
a db copy of PADSM.DB.PRIM6A of PADSM.DB.PRIM6, would this cause problems?
Does anyone know what will occur when I go to delete PADSM.DB.PRIM6 since
it is the (COPY 1)?
Thanks for any advice!
