With respect, that is not really my issue - although the v3.1 manual does
say to do so for DB and Log volumes in addition to the other types you
rightly specify.

I am having trouble bringing the sync'd mirror status back up as the 'F'
volume is not coming back online.  Seems whatever I try, ADSM reports that
it is not a 'defined database volume'.  The volume physically exists again
(after DR) in that specified location and the set up was working for over a
year previously.  At some point it must have been defined to be able to
create the mirror in the first place.

Rebooting the server with the volume in place does not prompt the app to
bring it back online by itself.

Regards

Stu

You don't vary on a db volume; you varyon file volumes for a disk-based
storage pool. To enable new db volumes, you extend the db.
