If I understand correctly, I believe you are looking for the VARY ONLINE 
command.

[ADSM-L] dbcopy, logcopy; Copy Status: Off-Line/Sync






Hallo,
I have a question to the Status of dbcopy, logcopy: sync/off-line.
I don`t find a command to get the status from off-line to sync
(for example: update dbcopy.....)

The situation:
I want to make a copy-synconisation of the db and log - Files (3 times)
No problem:
define dbcopy/logcopy .... works wonderful.

The Server is a Windows 2003 with tsm 5.3.2.2
One Copy is on the disk D:
the other 2 Copies are on a raid-system.

Now the problem:
If one disk has no connection to the system (hardware-error, 
net-problems...)
the tsm-system works wonderful further with the disk, which is accessible
for the system. And the non accessible disks changed the status from 
sync to off-line.

To change the status from off-line to sync,
we need two commands:
delete dbvol ... and
define dbcopy ...

The same problem is with the log-files.

I need the command update dbcopy/logcopy ...

Can somebody help me by this wish?

Christiane Kühn
