The dbpageshadowfile should be empty on a clean shutdown.  We have used the SAN 
to dup the disks, the disks we duplicated where the TSM mirrors.  You could 
also use the OS to mirror the disks.
Out of curiosity, why do you want to use TSM DBCopy to make a copy?

Hello

Didn't see the original post, but yes I have (sort of)

As Christian said, I also had to copy the log files.

I didn't do it with a DB copy because that wouldn't start up, the clone
server complained about it's copy volumes so I reduced the copies to one on
the donor machine, copied the DB/logs and added copies back.  The copy was
done while the server was down.

For the life of me I can't remember what I did about the
dbpageshadowfile.....

Maybe a better approach would be a db backup to a file type device?

Hi David,
I don't think that will work. Because you need log files and
DBPageShadowFile synced with your databases.

I was involved with IGS/IBM SWG when we clone couple hundred of Linux TSM
Servers using CBMR. But that was more for a installation point of view?
We where looking at DB Mirror and Log Mirror (DBCOPY LOGCOPY) and had to
much problems, so they ended with CBMR to install/Clone and DB Backup to
keep a copy of the database after installation.

Ämne: Cloning a TSM

Has anyone tried to clone a TSM by using a TSM dbcopy volume as the db file
for the cloned TSM?  If so, would you be willing to discuss the steps you
went thru.

Thanks,
