Thanks Dwight, but we use Escon Hitachi discs. 

I am in real trouble, Restore gives 

ANR0101E ICVOLHST(2394): Error 11 opening table "Seq.Volume.History".
ANR2032E RESTORE DB: Command failed - internal server error detected.

and starting the server gives

ANR0981E The ADSM server database must be restored before the server can be
started.  !!!
