I think you hit it!  I had a brain fade.  Had created 15G of log space.  I
guess I should have used my DRM scripts to create!

The number of volumes shouldn't make a difference. The main concern is that
the database is at least as large as the database you intend to restore. As
for the log volumes, just make sure that between the two volumes, the sizes
don't exceed the TSM maximum size of 13 GB. I suppose the "punt" option
would be to just perform the format with the one log volume; I would think
that would be large enough, although others with more practical experience
than I might have other opinions.

I guess that would help!!
Running TSM 5.1.1.6 on AIX 4.3.3 ML10
Ran dsmfmt -m -log /tsmlg2fs/tsmlg2vol 6000 Dsmfmt -m -log
/tsmlg1fs/tsmlg1vol ?? (I don't remember exact size ran late
yesterday)
Dsmfmt -m -db  /tsmdb1fs/tsmdb1vol ?? (I don't remember exact size ran late
yesterday)
Dsmserv.opt, dsm.opt & sys, volhist & devconfig came over from mksysb

Went through & changed the server name where applicable.

My currnet production server has 2 log volumes.  Will I need both to recover
the server?

Thanks,

It would help to have more information about what you are doing, including
your exact server version, operating system on which it runs, and steps you
took leading up to the "dsmserv format" command. For example, what
*exact* commands did you use to preallocate the recover log and database and
recovery log files? Any other associated information would also be helpful.

Andy

Trying to restore my database on to a test server.
When I try to run  dsmserv format 2 /tsmlg1fs/tsmlg1vol /tsmlg2fs/tsmlg2vol
1 /tsmdb1fs/tsmdb1vol I get the following error:
ANR9999D lvminst.c(323): ThreadId<0> Error creating Logical Partition Table
for LOG volume /tsmlg2fs/tsmlg2vol.
Any thoughts on what is causing it?

Thanks,
