Paul, You should be able to allocate & format the volume dynamically and then add it to your TSM server. You shouldn't have to stop/start the server at all. (At least I never have...) Then you should be able to define the new db or log volume to your tsm server. If you have any questions about how we do this, just let me know. Good luck!!!

Up to now there was no real problem with halting the server for a few minutes to do this, but it is becoming more and more difficult (even impossible) to find a moment where I can stop the server (due to API-clients which are accessing the server randomly) without causing archive/restore problems. I think this problem should be solved by simply using another options file name (which is a copy from the original one) for the format job (and TSM Server keeps running in the meantime). Can I do this ? Or do I forget something and MUST I stop the TSM Server ? Thanks for any info.
