Thanks. Would you mind the full syntax. This is my 1st time through this and nobody around me seems to know about it. 1: The disk that went bad is being replaced as I write 2: I was going to keep the logical volume/db name(/dbaa1dk3/db) the same so all the documentation stays the same. 3: The bad logical volume/file was --> /dbaa1dk3/db and it was mirrored to /dbaa1dk7/db
This is the 1st failure we have seen. thanks for all your help, Eric -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark D.

Remove the failed volume from tsm by doing either a del dbv. 2. Then define a new DB vol with the def dbv command, you can use the f=XXX to format it to the size you need. 3. I know this sounds funny by now you need to delete the volume you just created. This will leave the formatted file on the OS file system. 4. Now you can use the def dbc command to get your self remirrored. BTW, as an alternative to steps 2 and 3 you could go to the OS level and do a dsmfmt command to create the DB volume as well, but I generally like to do it all with in TSM. As I said before, if you need the exact syntax please repost. I will need the exact filenames of the bad volume, the volume name it was mirrored to, and the name of the new volume. I hope that helps. -- Regards, Mark D.
