We have set up a backup TSM server for DR purposes.
TSM has been installed to the same level and a database created of a
size larger than the production
TSM database, all DB volumes are formatted.

On the production  side, the database is backed up to disk. This is
then copied over to a 2nd
AIX server...now the backup TSM server.

Looking in the manual, it appears the database restore assumes the
files will be on a cartridge.

Questions:
- should the server be down to restore the database?
- what is the format of the command in an AIX environment to
restore the db if the files are under /var/tsmdbbk/morning as so:
-rw-------   1 root     sys      9663676416 Jan 28 04:08 06902830.dbb
-rw-------   1 root     sys      2981181842 Jan 28 04:11 06903334.dbb


Thanks
