Well, I've tested an similar environment and found a restore is running 
for a specific instance only if volhist, devconfig, dsmserv.opt, and 
dsmserv.dsk are copied from directory (i.e.) server2 to "%SYS%\program 
files\tivoli\tsm\server". You must prepare database and recoverylog 
previously like you have already done with option -k <instance name> in 
order to get a valid dsk file.

Good lluck

[ADSM-L] Windows 2nd instance - how to restore the DB?






Can someone give me guidance on how you would restore a data base to a 2nd
TSM server instance on Windows?
I'm trying to figure out how to effectively (and safely) work with a test
instance.

I can create the DB for the 2nd instance with: dsmserv -k server2  format
blah.

But when I try to use dsmserv -k server2 restore db, it apparently looks 
for
the volhist and devconfig files in the server directory not the server2
directory; so dsmserv restore db doesn't appear to support -k.

Anybody done it?
