Ofcourse, I intentionally wanted a blank database. If you're trying to
recover the adsm server then you need to be doing a dsmserv restore db
first.

        I recently did this with WinNT. I brought up the server in console
mode (it starts under the id server_console). Once started I issued the
register admin admin admin command.

                Greetings All,

                I am in the process of recovering an ADSM Server and have
already recreated
                (DSMFMT) and installed (DSMSERV FORMAT) all ADSM Server
database and log
                volumes and started the ADSM Server.  However, when I
attempt to login to
                ADSM's command line interface as ADMIN, I get the ANS8034E
and ANS8023E
                errors (see below).

                All ADSM Server files - as well as AIX 4.3 - was recovered
from the latest
                mksysb backup.

                Any support on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
