Don't even think about doing it the way you described. The dsmserv.dsk
file is used for startup and during recovery, however once even a
SINGLE DBvolume is located, all further volume information is retrieved
from information inside the database.  Chances are the DB will be
irreparably destroyed and you have to recover it.  If that happens
just restore it to the new location :-)

I would suggest defining a number of *new* database and log files
in the 'E:\tsmdata\' directory (therefore doubling the size of the
database) but DO NOT extend the database into that space.

Once you have done that, start deleting the original database and
log files from 'c:\tsmdata\server1'.

As you delete each file, TSM will migrate all database entries to
'free' space elsewhere.  If you make the mistake of EXTENDing the
DB into the new volumes, the DEL DBVOL commands will fail with
insufficient space, even though the DB appears to be less than 50%
full.  You will need to REDUCE the database to make space.

Just another $0.02

Hi,

ENV TSM Server W2k
I am interested in changing the directory from
C:\tsmdata\server1 to E:\tsmdata\ , but I change the
files and the dsmserv.dsk file but TSM server doesn't
start.
My goal is to change the TSM Server form w2k with 1
processor to other with 2, but it seems I need to
create the former dir structure but I don't interest
in that.

Any help ???

Thanks in advance,
