Hi, >From memory one should do the upd server force sync=yes on the target machine.
In this case ON server-B do upd server server-a forcesync=yes. After restore of the DB server-server comm will be down again because out-of-sync issues.

We have very little experience doing DB restores and none involving an offsite TSM server. My first attempts failed. I think I know how to fix it but the docs on how to perform a DB restore are a little contradictory to what I want to do. SERVER-A performs DB SNAPSHOT backups to SERVER-B via server-to-server definitions. Installed a same-level TSM server onto a test machine. Did "dsmserv format" to prepare DB space to the equivalent of SERVER-A. Replaced the test server volhist, devconfig and dsmserv.opt files from copies of SERVER-A like-files. Tried to do a "dsmserv restore db volumenames=name.I.got.from.volhist devclass=SERVER-B" Since I tried this over a month ago, I don't recall the error but I think it has to do with the server-to-server definition being out of sync since this is not the original SERVER-A. My guess is to bring up the test server and manually do a "UPDATE SERVER SERVER-B FORCESYNCE=YES" However, when I go through the book scenarios on restoring a server DB, it says: "Attention: Do not start the server until after you restore the database (the next step). Starting the server before the restore would destroy any existing volume history files." So, how do I do this? Do I bring up the test server first and correct the sync before replacing the volhist file? Am I wrong in how I am trying to do this? Is there a better/different way to do this? Looking for any suggestions/hints.....
