We are running 4.2.3.0 of TSM on an AIX 4.3.3 system.  We seem to be having
a problem with a disk where part of our TSM database is.  The database is
mirrored and it was my understanding that if you lose a DB volume it should
automatically switch to the mirrored copy and continue to run.  Right now
everything is hosed and we can't log in to the server.  The machine is up
and running.  I have a call into support with a severity 1, but was hoping
for some ideas of what to try while I wait for the call back from
support.  I haven't tried to kill the server process yet.  If I restart the
server, should it pick up the mirrored copy then?
