If your database files are still good then do a DSMSERV DUMPDB. Then you'll need to run DSMSERV LOADFORMAT followed by DSMSERV LOADDB. Your server will startup fine after that with no data loss. The dump and load will be very fast if you have enough disk space and can do it to a file devclass. You will have to add a definition for a file devclass to your devconfig file if one doesn't exist in there already.

When bringing it back up I noted that the log files had been deleted (jr sys admin) I recreated the log files with dsmfmt and dsmserv format and am now trying to get tsm to run again and it says no checkpoint information can be found. The Database files are all there and intact and log mode was not set to roll forward. Has anyone experienced this and what is the likeliness that I will have to restore my Database (backup DB) to get back up and running?
