TSM Community,


Attention Flash IC36835

Customers running IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (ITSM) 5.1  and above who use
the DSMSERV RESTORE DB and have their DB tape in either a 349x, ACSLS, or
EXTRNAL library type.


The current  ITSM documentation  for 5.1 and 5.2 has a note (chapter 22 in
the Admin Guide) that says:
To perform a DSMSERV RESTORE DB operation, the database backup volumes must
be in a library of a library type of MANUAL or SCSI.

That statement is incorrect and will cause you to perform unnecessary
modifications to your operations.  The statement will be modified via
documentation apar IC36835.  ITSM function has not changed between releases
and DB volumes can be restored from a 349x, ACSLS, or  External type
library.


Problem Resolution

APAR IC36835 has been opened to document this error and future versions of
the publications will be corrected.  Additionally, APAR IC36836 has been
opened to address a failure where the DSMSERV RESTORE DB with a lib type of
EXTERNAL does not work correctly.   APAR IC36836 only applies to ITSM 5.1
as the function works correctly in  ITSM 5.2
