This should work -- we do much the same with our TSM server on AIX for D/R.

When TSM fires up it marks all the disk pools off-line if they cannot be
accessed or are not properly formated.

Subject: disaster recovery question


Hello everyone!

At our disaster recovery site we use all offsite tape volumes and do not
use any of the disk storage pools.   Our company runs tsm on the mainframe
and does a full volume backup of all of the dasd every Sunday, which is
what they restore at disaster recovery.  I was wondering, if we don't
restore any of the volumes for the disk pools and mark them offline after
tsm is brought up will everything run smoothly as long as we restore the
db, log, volume history and device configuration volumes?  Thank you!
