Hi Bill,
That what I did and some how the first line that comes up was
Using C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\Server1\dsmserv.opt
...
...
Can not access D:\TSMServer1\DB1.dsm 
and so on.

I solved last night by shutdown TSM Server 1 and rename the directory to 
Server1 to Server1_old and rename Server2 to Server1.
When in to Server1 directory and ran the same command and now did it work fine 
and I could recovery the TSM Server.

In mean wild did I rename Server1_old directory to Server2 and ran dsmserv -k 
server2 and the old server started fine during the recovery of the other server.
When the recovery was finish I ran dsmserv .-k server1 and the server that I 
just recovered did start up successfully.

Strange problem and I will probably continue talking to IBM Support in UK about 
this and not IBM India did I talk to last night European Time.

Best Regards
Christian Svensson

Ämne: Re: Dsmserv Restore DB -k?

Christian,

I do this frequently and have no problem when I cd to the server2 directory and 
run the following:

..\server\dsmserv -k server2 restore db todate=today

During the restore dsmserv uses the directory you're in to create registry 
entries for the paths to the instance.
