What if your DR PREPARE is generated using virtual volumes as its target?

You would rebuild the ServerA instance with a blank database of the same
size or larger as what ServerA had originally. Then you
would define the server-to-server communication to ServerB. Once that's
done, shutdown ServerA. All the configuration information is
now in the DEVCONFIG file(s). Now you can run the

Dsmserv restore db devclass=<serve-to-server device class>
volumes=<virtual volume name(s)> commit=yes

Your DRM prepare plan should have all the information you need, if you're
using DRM.

ServerA backups up the TSM DB to a virtual volume on ServerB.

ServerA is lost and the TSM DB on the virtual volume on ServerB is
required to recreate it.

How is that virtual volume restored?
