Hi David! If I remember correctly you have to remove all references to the existing database by using the dsmserv removedb command. This removes the database from the registry and physically removes the database files. Afterwards you have to empty the archive log and archive failover log directories yourself manually. At that point you should be able to use the GUI to initialize a new server. Kind regards, Eric van Loon Air France/KLM Storage Engineering

I want to reuse existing tsm db and log filespaces but re-initialize it as a fresh empty instance. I'm thinking I can just erase all the files in the db and log directories and then rerun the initial initialize gui. Am I missing something? AIX 7.1 & TSM 7.1.7.0.
