Hi Mubashir!-

Yes, you should be OK if you lose filesystem A.

If filesystem A dies, you should ge a message in the activity log showing
the error, and TSM will just keep on running with the DB copy on filesystem
B.

If you have to restart the TSM server and it can't find filesystem A, it
will still come up and run with only the copy on filesystem B.
You don't have to do anything special.

How does it work?
Browse (DO NOT EDIT!) the dsmserv.dsk file in the TSM server directory.
That is the file TSM reads when it comes up, to find it's DB and log files.

Subject: TSM server recovery with database copy2 volumes


Hi,
I have a TSM/AIX server. TSM server database copy1 volumes are on filesystem
A.
TSM server database copy2 volumes are on filesystem B. If I loose
filesystemA,
can I restart TSM server with copy2 volumes? How can I restart/recover TSM
server using database copy2 volumes?
Thanks,
