What is the full command that you're running? Where are you running it from? Where is the .dsk file located? Are the permissions on the file appropriate?

I have installed TSM 5.5 on Windows platform.

I've issued command from following location, with logmode normal (while performing DBBackup, logmode is normal)

C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server>dsmserv restore db dev=seqdevc vol=E:\STG\SEQPOOL\01370479.DBB


Here is the content of my volhist.out file (C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server1\volhist.out)

Location of my dsmserv.dsk file is C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server1\dsmserv.dsk

Well, I'm not much of a Windows person, and I haven't used 5.5 in many years, but I assume the problem is that you are starting dsmserv from \TSM\server\ but the files it needs to read are in \TSM\server1\. Can you start dsmserv from the \TSM\server1 directory somehow?

Something like this?

C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server1>C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server\dsmserv restore db dev=seqdevc vol=E:\STG\SEQPOOL\01370479.DBB

It's likely because the instance was recreated from server, instead of server1, and now the registry is looking for the instance under server instead.

I bet if you look in the registry under this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADSM\CurrentVersion\Server\Server1, that the value for path points to "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\server". If that is the case, you can very very carefully change it to C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\server1

Look as well under the subkeys Accounting, Options and Service, and also very very carefully change "server" to "server1" where a path is specified.

After that, retry your restore like RGG suggested.
