Hello John,
See both Admin Guide and Admin Reference regarding "dsmserv restore db". There 
are two recovery methods : on that deletes the logs (point in time restore,  
ignore it) and one that keeps and rollforwards the logs after db restore (most 
current state, use this one).
The command is pretty simple :
Login as instance owner
Change to the instance directory
Simply run : dsmserv restore db

Note that of you use the todate option of the dsmserv restore db command, 
you'll have a point in time restore which deletes the log !
