Things I've run into today which took a little bit of tinkering because searching didn't come up with anything...
############## During DSMSERV RESTORE DB, while using a manual library, if your DEFINE PATH for the drive is incorrect, TSM will report an error about the LIBRARY's path rather than the drive's path: ANR8500E No paths are defined for library MANLIB in device configuration information file. ############## Also, when restoring, and the source system drives were IBM, but the target drives are not, and you don't define TSM devices, you'll get: ANR8880W Device type of drive DRIVE01 in library MANLIB was determined to be GENERIC_TAPE. ANR4619I Snapshot database backup series 70 using device class LTO. ANR4622I Volume 1: 000042. ANR4634I Starting point-in-time database restore to date 06/22/07 07:03:10.
