I'm sorry I should have been clearer.  When I say server I mean the tsm
server.  Sometimes I can't log into a server from the host it is on but I
can from another host or I can via an already set up server to server
connection.  Did you ever recover the volume from last week?

I can log in.  The machine is up and running.  I just can't get to the
server.  The dbvolumes are files located on logical volumes.  And they are
SCSI attached.
