Hi TSMers

Running TSM 3.7.3.8 on Solaris 2.7 attached to two 3590 drives housed in a
3494 automated library.

This is not something I am having to do at the moment, but something that I
want to get clear in case the need arrises. Let's assume the database is
corrupt and I cannot sign on to the TSM server. I need to issue the dsmc
restore db from the command line.

Baring in mind the device configuration below, what is the correct syntax I
should use? Also, what does the commit=yes/no option mean? The reason I
ask, is that I'm not sure If I need to manually change the state of the
drive to manual or something before issuing the command.

This may be a bit vague, and if so please let me know any other information
you require.

Thanks ever so much in advance.

Kind Regards
