Hi TSMers

Running TSM 5.1.6.2 on Solaris.

Two of the internal disks in our sun E250 server are used to house the
database and log volumes and copies (using TSM's internal mirroring). This
morning one of the disks failed and we are now awaiting a replacement. I
have had a look at the documentation for recovering mirrored volumes and
all I have found is this.

1) Query the database and log volumes
2) Place failed volumes off-line (TSM already did this for me)
3) Fix device
4) Allocate space for new copies with DSMFMT
5) Bring new volumes on-line.

Now, at the moment, the off-line copies are still defined within TSM, so
what I want to know is this. Once I have got the new disk in place and
created the necessary file systems, can I just recreate the required log
and DB volumes using the dsmfmt command and give them the exact same
location,name and size? I am assuming that if this is the case I can then
just vary the off-line copy back on-line? Is this correct or am I missing
something?

Many thanks in advance
