I used the following procedure:
first create the DB and LOg files:
/usr/bin/dsmfmt -m -db /adsm/dbva/dbvol1 2000 &
/usr/bin/dsmfmt -m -db /adsm/dbva/dbvol2 2000 &
/usr/bin/dsmfmt -m -log /adsm/dbva/logvol1 500
And after that initialize them with the dsmserv command:
/usr/bin/dsmserv format 1 /adsm/dbva/logvol1 2 /adsm/dbva/dbvol1
/adsm/dbva/dbvol2

Subject: dsmserv format error
I am performing a DR without the original database or recovery log
volumes.
When I issue the DSMSERV FORMAT utility to initialize the database and
recovery log, I always get the error 'missing arguments' or 'missing
volume'. I've tried re-creating the same volumes from the original server
but this doesn't help.
The command I am issuing is something like this...
# ./dsmserv format 2 /dbdsk/db01.dsm /dbdsk/db02.dsm 200 1
/logdsk10/log01.dsm 40
Marc.
