Would you believe -- both? Until the TSM database is restored and TSM started, you live off the device config file; after the restore, you live off the definition in the TSM database.
So -- change the device config file -- I usually go with a one-drive manual library, as that's all I need to get the database restore running. Once the database is restored, start TSM and make any changes required to drives/paths/libraries. I've found it simpler to just delete everything and then re-define to match the D/R environment.

Hey All! I'm going to do a DR pre-test to see what I need to do concerning the devconfig file. I currently have an External and ACSLS library configured with LTO2 tape drives, the device classes, paths, etc. When I go to DR I will have just the drives attached to the server. My question is: before I issue the dsmserv restore command to restore the TSM server from a dbbackup, do I want to delete all references to the home TSM configuration and add the manual library, device class and paths or do I do delete/update/add the configuration changes to the server after? I have everything planned out using my DRM plan, but this is the only portion of the plan that I am unsure of the order of operations. Thank you in advance! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems Work:(717)302-6603 Fax:(717)302-5974 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
