Quick answer to part of this -- the tsm volser doesn't include the 'L1' so
you would use "vol=SU3689" in the restoredb process. I'm not sure about
doing a 'dsmserv display dbbackupvolume' -- never tried it.

Subject: Recovering a TSM 4.2.1 server
I've been given an LTO tape that is supposedly a TSM DB backup. The external
barcode label reads SU3689L1, which I assume is also the volume name as TSM
would see it. My intention is to recover the TSM database by doing a dsmserv
restore db. I do not have the volume history file or anything else from the
original server, so I created my own devconfig file and have a single LTO
tape drive connected and defined. Judging by the admin guide, the next step
I need to do is a dsmserv display dbbackupvolume devclass=tapeclass
vol=SU3689L1, however it comes back and errors out..
ANR9999D assd.c(1040): ThreadId<0> Unexpected result code (15) from
pvrAcquireMountPoint.
ANR9999D icstream.c(1606): ThreadId<0> Error 87 opening input stream.
ANR2032E DISPLAY DBBACKUPVOLUMES: Command failed - internal server error
detected.
I guess my primary question is whether some of my assumptions and techniques
are correct or not? Particularly on the volume name as I realize the barcode
doesn't necessarily equal the digital tape volume name stored on the tape.
Still is that a good assumption? Is it case sensitive? Am I doing something
obviously wrong?
For now I'm going to verify the tape drive works by putting in a blank tape
and attempting to write some data to it using TSM. If that works I'll return
to trying to recover the DB. Appreciate any help/feedback.
