I think (I hope) that this should not be a problem.
Indeed, first, I thought you needed to restore a db but that your server
was still up and running to do the move media and the checkin.
Obviously, this is not the case.
Anyway, the restore db (a the DOS prompt) is just using the volhist file
to know what is the last available Database Backup.
I am almost sure that your last database backup, on-site or off-site is
declared in the volhist file.
run DSMSERV DISPLAY DBVOLUMES to verify if TSM is aware about it.
So, using restore db will not take care about the fact that the tape is
on-site or off-site but will just send a request to the library to read
it.
SO, just insert your tape in the library and type :
dsmserv restore db todate=xx:xx:xxxx totime=xx:xx
or, if the tape is unknown in your volhist file:
dsmserv restore db volumenames=yyyy todate=xx:xx:xxxx totime=xx:xx

Those are some BIG ifs, we don't have the tape checked in and I'm not
sure
how to check it in with out getting onto the server. That's the gotcha.
Maybe I'm missing someting though ...... please help

No arguments to give.
If your volhist is still present and not corrupted, if you tape has been
moved back via MOVE MEDIA and if your tape has been checked in, just
type:
dsmserv restore db todate=xx:xx:xxxx totime=xx:xx
and the TSM server will use the volume corresponding to the tape just
back from off-site.

What would the syntax be? dsmserv restore db ...
I've tried dsmserv restore db movemedia=6239 and I get and invalid
argument
error.

1) MOVE MEDIA ... To bring the tape back on-site in the TSM database
2) CHECKIN ... STATUS=PRIVATE to get the tape back in the library

Need to restore out TSM database but the volume that the DB backup in on
is
listed as VAULT. I have the tape in the automated library, how do I
check
it in to restore from it??
