Roland, Be aware that your reusedelay parameter should be the same as the number of days back that you keep TSM DB Backups for. This ensures that should you need to restore to a database backup other than the most recent, data will still be where the older DBBackup thinks it is. Matt. _-'-_

Since you plan to use portability of vg along with SAN. Here is my 2 cents that may help you better. I don't know if you have SSA drives in SAN or directly connected to host, but it would work anyway you plan. AIX5.2ML2 should allow you to make mksysb with any driver necessary to clone your box in
