When I apply the latest PTF which is 3.1.2.90 (Because the old PTF's have
become corrupt) the "cfgserv3.log" tells me to use "UPGRADE DB" command
before I could start the server.
Should I use it before I run the restore db OR afterwards ?
Thanks once again.

Hello Prasanna,
Oups, looks like you are ine kernel-panic-mode !
1) when your reinstall a server and want to restore the DB you
need to REFORMAT it before. You can use only the db-an-log primary volumes.
$ dsmserv format 2 log_primary.dsm log_addon.dsm 2 db_primary.dsm
db_addon.dsm
You SHOULD format 1 volume of each (db_addon log_addon) to give TSM some
"working space"
Then you can restore your DB
$ dsmserv RESTOREDB devc=DLTCLASS volume=SP0169
2) when you manage to restore your DB, check if your db if in "ROLL-FORWARD"
mode.
It could be a reason why your log fills to quickly.
