Geoff, Try adding a TODATE= to the RESTORE command. The manual says the TODATE is required if you want to do a point in time restore with a volume history file. I suspect TSM is trying to read the recovery log to do a roll forward restore with out the TODATE parameter. Jim

Ok, I'm working on a test to restore the DB on my test server. At the moment I've hit a wall and wonder if someone can shed some light. The server is an H50, AIX5.1 TSM 5.1.7, the library is an automated 3494, the drives are fiber attached 3590's.
I installed AIX5.1, TSM 5.1.7, which is what was on it before. I've formatted DB and log space. I have the volhist file, devconf, dsmserv.opt and dsmserv.dsk I saved. I did notice the tape drives came up in a different order so I changed the devconf file. I decided to fly by night and create DB and logs with a name I would dream up just in case I was the one who got whacked and someone else needed to do this without much help. Not sure if that is an issue.
I put the files back where they belong, the library is available because mtlib commands work. The question is why do I get this output when trying to restore? I looked up the error and it doesn't make sense because the db is formatted and there. The size of the file is large enough, 15GB, to restore a db backup that really has nothing in it except 2 computers I've been backing up to test.
