Pam, This is a link to a presentation I did about a year and a half ago that explored snapshot recovery (and using NFS) I haven't had time to get the mirroring component working. There are references at the end which may provide you with a good starting point.

If there is anyone out there doing this successfully, please contact me. We have run into several problems starting the DR TSM server. DB2 will not start and reports missing log files as the issue. We have checked the consistency groups and the timing. We thought AIX caching of the TSM database logical volumes was the problem but alas when we turned off AIX caching and made a FC of the remote GM target which SVC showed as "consistent & Synchronized" DB2 again said we were missing log files. Since this is not the 'supported' method of creating a copy of the TSM database, my request to Tivoli Support for assistance was turned down, but they did suggest that there might be other customers using Global Mirror/Flash Copy for this purpose. Thank you, in advance, for your help.
