Well, I've tested an similar environment and found a restore is running for a specific instance only if volhist, devconfig, dsmserv.opt, and dsmserv.dsk are copied from directory (i.e.) server2 to "%SYS%\program files\tivoli\tsm\server". You must prepare database and recoverylog previously like you have already done with option -k <instance name> in order to get a valid dsk file.

Can someone give me guidance on how you would restore a data base to a 2nd TSM server instance on Windows? I'm trying to figure out how to effectively (and safely) work with a test instance. I can create the DB for the 2nd instance with: dsmserv -k server2 format blah. But when I try to use dsmserv -k server2 restore db, it apparently looks for the volhist and devconfig files in the server directory not the server2 directory; so dsmserv restore db doesn't appear to support -k. Anybody done it?
