What version of the TSM Server are we running?

What kind of volumes are we taking about? Disk pool volumes, tape volumes, database volumes?

Good Luck,

FYI: TSM Server 5.2 is no longer supported by IBM.

Since we want to access the data that are in the disk pool, and we reinstall the TSM Server.
Need to restore the TSM Server database from the most recent backup before we reinstall the TSM Server.
Hopefully we did this before we reinstall the TSM Server, if we did.
Then follow the steps in the following techdoc -
Recommended Tivoli Storage Manager Server Post-Database Restore Processing Steps

If you do not have a database backup before we reinstall the TSM Server, there is not a way to access the data that are in the disk pool.
If you already define the disk pool volumes, with the same names, to the newly installed TSM Server, and data are written on the old disk pool volumes. The old data have been over written with the new data.

The new install TSM Server does not know that there are data in the old disk pool volumes.
To get the pointers back, need to restore the old TSM Server database .

If the newly installed TSM Server have written data to the old disk pool volumes, and we restore the database backup. Your not going to be able to access the data.
Yes, we have the pointers in database back. Since the old data have been over written, the pointers in the database will be pointing to data that no longer physically exist any more.

Good Luck,

If you want to access the data that are in the disk pool volumes.
If the data is that important, you don't have much of a choice but to restore the database from the most recent backup.

If the data is not that important and you want to re-use the diskpool volumes.
From the new installed TSM Server, redefine the diskpool volumes to the storage pool.
When the TSM Server starts to write data to the disk pool, the old data will be over written with the new data.

Good Luck,

You could export the data that is important to you to tape (HELP EXPORT NODE).

Then wipe out your old instance, create a new one.

Then import from tape the data you want to keep (HELP IMPORT NODE).
