Hello;

We are in a 3-tier environment:
Server1 - Informix Database 7.24 UC5 and TSM 4.1.1 server
Server2 - Baan IVb3

The TSM client on Server1 (that Informix connects with) is using an old
[ADSM] version...3.8 - I believe?  This was done because it was the only way
Informix would connect to TSM without having to purchase TDP for Informix.
(not my choice, nor was I part of that decision)

Anyway...

This morning Server1 crashed - we lost the I/O board.  While I await IBM's
arrival with the replacement part I am contemplating the worst...having to
restore Informix.  I am fairly new to this job and have never restored
Informix (or anything else for that matter) with TSM.  Three years ago when
Informix and ADSM were brought online a full database restore was preformed
and it was successful...but other than that I do not believe it has been
done since.  ????  The person who was incharge of TSM and Informix
"abruptly" left the firm and I got "stuck" administering them.  ;)

If anyone out there has ever preformed an Informix restore would you be so
kind and to provide me with some steps.  I'd welcome any help anyone has to
offer at this point.

Thank you;
Theresa
