Are you sure nothing else was possibly using that raw volume?

Wondering if this is the only instance of TSM on this server? I know in my past 
experience with SUN systems that you can mistakenly grab raw volumes like this 
that may have been in use by something else.

Do you have a q dbv, q logv, and q vol devc=disk output?

My TSM-mirrored database volumes are on dedicated 1TB disks,
where each disk's slice 4 partition is 512GB. The 512GB
size was set during the initial install. I extended the DB
from 200GB to 300GB without changing the volume's 512GB
size.

The TSM server will not start up:

Thanks Daniel. I'm also trying to get help from IBM TSM support.
