Subject: URGENT - Quick Procedure Needed for using DSMSERV RESTORE DB
with a 3590 DB Backup tape in a 3494 Library


TSM documentation states somewhere that DSMSERV utilities (RESTORE DB ?)
only support manual libraries.   If I want to use a 3494 library tape for
the restore, what steps must I take to load the DB Backup tape into a
drive before I issue the DSMSERV RESTORE DB command ?  Do I need to put
the library online/offline?  Do I need to insert the tape in drive
manually, using a utility or via some other method, or just let the
library do its usual magic?

If there's a quick FAQ or manual section for this, please just point me to
it , thanks.

-rsvp asap, thanks
