Well I'm confused.  I can't find REPAIR in the 5.2.2 admin guide or admin
ref.
Anybody know what it is/how to use it?

TSM Community :

Flash 10282 has been published:

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/FLASH10282

Including the Flash text below :

Abstract: TSM Server can not be restarted after running REPAIR STGVOL
utility in 5.1.9.0 or 5.2.2.0, if a volume is not
specified when the command is issued.

Problem: The REPAIR STGVOL utility shipped with TSM 5.1.9.0 and TSM 5.2.2.0
may alter the TSM Server Data Base and prevent
the TSM Server from being able to be restarted.
Who is Affected: TSM servers, on which REPAIR STGVOL has been run without
specifying a volume for the utility to repair.
I.E. if this utility is run without specifying any parameters, then the
symptoms referenced in PQ86959 will be experienced.
TSM Servers affected by this problem will not notice the damage until the
TSM Server is stopped and then attempted to be
restarted, so it is possible to run with the damage to the Data Base for
some time before the problem will be encountered.

The fix for PQ86959 is targeted to be fixed in levels 5.1.9.2 and 5.2.2.5
of the TSM Server which should be available by
May 24, 2004.

Recommendation:

If this utility must be run, a volume MUST be specified. If possible do not
use this utility until the fix for PQ86959 is
available. Here is the information from the APAR;

REPAIR STGVOL utility provided with IC37275 in 5.1.9.0 can
corrupt the server database and prevent the server from being
restarted. If the utility command is entered without specifying
a specific volume it will create an AS.Volume.Status entry for
disk storage pool volumes that will cause abend0C4 during server
startup.

Do not use the REPAIR STGVOL utility
without specifying a volume.

 LOCAL FIX:
If this problem is encountered a point-in-time(PIT) DB
restore will need to be done to a PIT prior to when the
REPAIR STGVOL command was issued.
