A quick answer for Saturday night. I haven't done what you are
attempting and I have TSM server on AIX not W2K. And I have done
a restore to a DR site machine, not as a separate instance.
But a few answers that are applicable no matter what.
Yes, you have to format the new volumes. You can do it manually
or do some editing of the DRM scripts used for restore. You need
to also edit the dsmserv.dsk file (I think that's the same name used
on W2K), BEFORE you start running the scripts.
You have to kind of modify the normal process. The offsite
DRM scripts assume you are on a clean machine for restore.
Onsite assumes this is the ONLY TSM server instance and uses
the existing volumes to do restore to.
Like I said, a quick answer.

A quick question ( TSM Server win2000 )
I am trying to restore a db backup from this morning. I want to restore it
into a new instance on the same server but using different drives for the
dbvols and log vols.
Is there a quicker way to do this other than
mkdir drserver
cd drserver
..\server\dsmserv -k drserver format 1 newlogvol size 3 newdbvol size etc
etc
..\server\dsmserv -k restore db todate=10/25/2003 etc etc etc
Also if I ran the format and didn't allocate enough space for the database,
is there a way to format/add just one more volume to make the extra space
before doing the restore , or would i need to start the format again giving
all the dbvols again?
Our database is 67Gb so the format takes a while :-)
Cheers
Chris
