It sounds like you are planning something very much like a server
disaster recovery: running multiple 'dsmfmt' commands to prepare
disk files for use, running a 'dsmserv format' command to record
the names of the disk files in the server directory, and running
'dsmserv restore db' to write the database contents onto the new
volumes. If so, I think you have to do the restore prior to setting
up the mirrored copies, since the syntax for 'dsmserv format' has
no provision for specifying mirrored volumes.
