Now where I've done this in V2 under mvs I had to ensure I started
     ADSM and "extend db" & "extend log" to the exact values they were when
     the db backup was created to get the restore db to work...

     Under AIX I've  never rebuilt the system on an entirely new
     environment, only started with a server, shut it down, and did the
     restore db with the existing DB & LOG vols that hadn't changed (extend
     wise) since the backup db was created...

     later,
           Dwight

My scenario is: ADSM database is corrupt/lost Here are steps Ive documented  to
recover it. Am I on track??

1. Halt ADSM.
2. Recover volume history and device configuration files by recreating them
from a remote copy of each file or
    from contents of a recent DRM plan. (these must exist before the database
restore is attempted)
2. If database and log volumes do not exist, reformat them with DSMSERV DSMFMT
respectively.
3. Restore database from a full backup ( Im running daily full backups ).
     DSMSERV RESTORE DB
4. Start the ADSM server
5. Run AUDIT VOLUME FIX=YES to check for inconsistences between volumes and the
database that was restored.
