thank you all, I have things working now !!

but how to logon ??
I have new db and log volumes, a different dsmserv.opt (TCPPORT 1502,
HTTPPORT 1582)  .......
is there a default id and password ??

and if I want to restore a AIX TSM database , how to make sure i am
overwriting the correct database e.g. the database from serverA
and not serverB ?
serverA database reside at /local/tsm/db/db_1
serverB database reside at /usr/tivoli/DR_tsm/db/db_1
