Hi Richard

I see the following which to me looks as I would expect and vol 000188 was
indeed the volume I used this morning. I did not see any errors during
backup or restore.

The only thing is that the database volumes on the new server had mirrored
copies already in place. These were stale when I started the server but
then syncd ok. Could this have caused a problem?

TYPE                                   BACKUP_SERIES            VOLUME_NAME

Farren -

The kind of inconsistencies you're seeing are the kind I would expect
if your new TSM server db is stale or otherwise inconsistent with the
state of your production server.  This particularly shows up where
you have multiple TSM servers in any manner sharing the same
library.  There should have been a good db restoral as you went to
the new server today.  One quick way to check that is to do:

SELECT DATE_TIME AS "DATE       TIME
",TYPE,BACKUP_SERIES,VOLUME_NAME -
FROM VOLHISTORY WHERE TYPE='BACKUPFULL' OR TYPE='BACKUPINCR'

and check the date-time values for currency.
