Re: [ADSM-L] When to dsmserv removedb?

Thanks Joerg.
What confuses me, the ADMIN GUIDE (6.3.3) says to do the REMOVEDB. But the
Admin REF (6.3.3) info for DSMSERV RESTORE DB does not mention doing the remove
db, and the
PREPARE scripts do not include it.
And I was able to start a restore db this morning without doing it.
So the different sets of information are contradictory.

Hi Wanda. I have done dsmserv removedb with both 6.1 and 6.2 server moves.
In the 6.3.3 Admin Guide, the instructions in the DRM chapter states that you
need to do a removedb after creating the instance so that you can do the
restore db.
In the Admin Reference book for 6.3.3, there is now a scary revision code in
the restore db section. It says that "Data cannot be stored on virtual volumes"
- several of my customers do a DBB to virtual volumes. A database restore from
virtual volumes has worked in the past. The most recent database restore I did
from virtual volumes was with 6.2.2 - could someone from development also
comment regarding this new restriction please.
Regards,
Joerg Pohlmann

I have found multiple conflicting documents.
For TSM V6,
if you are going to do
dsmserv restore db,
under what circumstances should you do
dsmserv removed TSMDB1 first?
Specifically trying to figure if this is necessary when restoring TSM DB at a
DR site, i.e. to different hardware.
