What I do during D/R -- which amounts to your situation, restoring on a 'new' 
platform -- is create the primary DB volumes and log volume, restore the 
database, and then create mirror volumes for the database and log.

Once the mirrors are in place, delete the old volumes from the storage pools
And then define new volumes with the 'formatsize' option, letting TSM format 
them as part of the definition.

What you are seeing is indeed hangover from the previous server -- there is a 
flatfile, dsmserv.dsk, with path definitions for the database volumes and logs; 
this is used at startup to find the database. All other definitions are stored 
in the database.

Subject: New TSM Server, DB and STG POOL question

Hi All

I'm running TSM on Solaris 2.7 and moving to Solaris 2.9 on a new physical
server.

If moving a TSM server from one machine to another, do you format space for
the backup pools first, then do the restore, or do you restore your DB
first and then format space for the backup pool and archive pool?

I installed TSM and then formatted all the space necessary for the log and
db vols, backuppool and archive devices. I then restored the db, but when I
start the new TSM server instance I am seeing messages such as the
following :-

03/15/06 12:50:53     ANR1315E Vary-on failed for disk volume
/usr/tsmdata/back-
                       up01.dsm - invalid label block.

Now I'm guessing this is because TSM on the old server (and hence the db)
knows nothing about this new device, so do I just create the disk pools
after restore?

Many thanks
