Hi All

TSM Server 5.2.2.3 on win2k SP4

This weekend I'm going to be doing a unload / load of our 100Gb TSM
Database.  The steps I'm going to do once I have a couple of DB backups
are

Halt TSM
Dsmserv unloaddb devc=filedev
Delete the log and db volumes from windows
Dsmserv loadformat num_log_vols log_file_vols num_db_files  db_vol_names
Dsmserv loaddb devc=filedev volumename=whatever gets created from unload

I've done this twice on our DR server and not had any issues. The unload
took 22hours though ! Both times I got the message saying an auditdb is
not required although I am going to schedule this in next month.

The main difference in our live environment as I see it are the storage
agents and server-to-server comms.  I've read that you need to force a
password resync for the other servers that are defined. I guess I just
need to do for each server

Upd server 'servername' forcesync=yes

Have I missed anything obvious?  Anyone got any other gotchas...

Thanks

Chris
