Thanks for the reply Rick. Pointing the new TSM server at the old db and log files didn't work so Skylar was correct. Got messages saying that they belonged to another TSM server. So I will pull back my one DB tape and double check that the server can talk to our 3584/TS3500 and IBM drives.

Andrew, Been there, done that. Here's how I handled it: -Get the server operational. Like others have said it is advantageous to have several files from the TSM instance directory (volhist, devconfig, and optionally dsmserv.opt). On 5.x it is possible to recover without them, but the situation

Hm. TSM 5.5. Reinstall Windows Reinstall TSM It will create a tiny db and tiny disk pools by default. Look at the dsmserv.dsk file; it will point to the new DB and log. I would try doctoring that file to point to the original DB and logs, then restart TSM and see if it will talk to them. Proba

It sounds like the main thing you'll need is to restore your TSM database. Having a backup of your volhistory and devconfig files would help but if you have a small site you might be able to do it from memory. If you are using DISK-type diskpools, you'll want to treat them as destroyed since volum
