Maybe a silly question. You said that you had a drive failure and have a new
drive and volume in place. TSM is complaining about that volume not being
defined as a db volume. How did you recreate the volume?

>- Can you show the output from a DIR command of the "phantom" volume file?

The original file does not exist (drive failure).  The new volume to be used
is per the pathname below.

>- Can you show the output from the DELETE DBVOLUME command?

ANR2431E DELETE DBVOLUME: Volume F:\ADSM_SERVER\DB\DB5.DSM is not a defined
database volume.

>- Can you show the output from QUERY DBVOLUME F=D?

Volume Name (Copy 1): F:\ADSM_SERVER\DB\DB5.DSM
         Copy Status: Off-Line
Volume Name (Copy 2): E:\ADSM_SERVER\DB\DB5COPY.DSM
         Copy Status: Sync'd
Volume Name (Copy 3):
         Copy Status: Undefined
Available Space (MB): 30,000
Allocated Space (MB): 30,000
     Free Space (MB): 0

Tried this before but without mirroring, although I did extend the database.
Will try again without extending and try.  It would not let me before
reporting that the mirror was not sync'd so would not delete the
DB5COPY.DSM.
