Thanks.  Would you mind the full syntax.  This is my 1st time through this and 
nobody around me seems to know about it.
1:  The disk that went bad is being replaced as I write
2:  I was going to keep the logical volume/db name(/dbaa1dk3/db) the same so 
all the documentation stays the same.
3:  The bad logical volume/file was  -->  /dbaa1dk3/db and it was mirrored to 
/dbaa1dk7/db

This is the 1st failure we have seen.
thanks for all your help,
Eric

Eric,

I am going to assume you know the syntax of the following commands so I
will just give my answer at a high level if not post back and I will
give the exact syntax,

1. Remove the failed volume from tsm by doing either a del dbv.
2. Then define a new DB vol with the def dbv command, you can use the
f=XXX to format it to the size you need.
3. I know this sounds funny by now you need to delete the volume you
just created.  This will leave the formatted file on the OS file system.
4. Now you can use the def dbc command to get your self remirrored.

BTW, as an alternative to steps 2 and 3 you could go to the OS level and
do a dsmfmt command to create the DB volume as well, but I generally
like to do it all with in TSM.

As I said before, if you need the exact syntax please repost.  I will
need the exact filenames of the bad volume, the volume name it was
mirrored to, and the name of the new volume.

I hope that helps.
