Matt,
For restoring TSM database   ,manually place the database volume in the
automated library  and note the element no.
Where you placed the database  volume ,   then update the comments in the
device configuration file. to identify location of those volumes.
for more information see : Admin Guide  page  787 ,789.
your libraries elements nos.  can be found on Tivoli`s web site

Shekar,

        When you do the restore of the database with a 9710, how does TSM
know or find the location of the dbbackup volume inside the silo? Do you do
a manual type restore first with the tape in the drive or is TSM capable of
finding that volume inside the silo with the silo defined in the dev.conf
file?, even though it might not be in the same cell location when the last
dbbackup was done.  I am getting ready to do a BRS test of our 9710
connected to an R50 via F/W Diff SCSI cards.  Thanks
