Yes.

This file contains a list of the TSM server db and log files.

If you were ever to lose dsmserv.dsk, all you need to do is create a new
dsmserv.dsk file with one of the db or log file names in it. Since each db
and log file contains info about all the other db and log files, the
server could restart from that minimal dsmserv.dsk file (it will then
update dsmserv.dsk with all the log and db file names).

Is dsmserv.dsk the only place TSM uses to locate DB and log disk on
startup?
