Hello  Prasanna,

Oups, looks like you are ine kernel-panic-mode !

1) when your reinstall a server and want to restore the DB you
need to REFORMAT it before. You can use only the db-an-log primary volumes.

$ dsmserv format 2 log_primary.dsm log_addon.dsm 2 db_primary.dsm
db_addon.dsm

You SHOULD format 1 volume of each (db_addon log_addon) to give TSM some
"working space"

Then you can restore your DB

$ dsmserv RESTOREDB devc=DLTCLASS volume=SP0169


2) when you manage to restore your DB, check if your db if in "ROLL-FORWARD"
mode.
It could be a reason why your log fills to quickly.
