Hi,

Do you have set DSMI_CONFIG;
Can you see TSM backup using dsmc q b "\..\*" -optfile=....\dsm.opt

Does the post backup copy of the ixbar.<servernum> file exist on the target?

Yep - its there... I also have the ixbar.<servernum> file .

The restore tries to start - but then it just says there were no storage
spaces to restore.

When I run archecker... it is on the source server.

Okay just a shot in the dark but there is also a bootstrap file in
$INFORMIXDIR/etc. It is called oncfg.<servername>.number. Is that file there
on the target machine?

cold restore -

the restore box is the same version, same OS.. and I have created links for
all the dbspaces.

The only thing that is different is that the links go to cooked files instead
of raw volumes...

Are you trying to warm restore a dbspaces that is not down?

We are having problems doing a restore from an onbar backup, using a Tivoli
Storage Manager.

This is what we have:

IDS 10.0 FC9 on HP-UX 11.i ( we tried reverting back to fc8... it didn't work
either)

Storage Management Server for Linux/x86_64 - Version 6, Release 2, Level 2.0

Backups run with no errors, and, when I run a TSM query, I can see the
datasets, but when I try to restore from the backup, onbar says there are no
spaces to restore. The same type of output is returned from archecker.

This is the archecker output from the server that is not working looks like
this:

informix@itshp7 [/home/infrmx]
$ archecker -bvs
IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 10.00.FC9 Program Name: archecker
Version: 8.0
Released: 2008-08-28 16:34:06
CSDK: IBM Informix CSDK Version 2.90
ESQL: IBM Informix-ESQL Version 2.90.FN431
Compiled: 08/28/08 16:35 on HP-UX B.11.11 U

AC_STORAGE /tmp
AC_MSGPATH /tmp/ac_msg.log
AC_VERBOSE on

AC_IXBAR /home/informix/etc/ixbar.99
AC_TIMEOUT 300
AC_SESSION

Control page checks PASSED
Table checks PASSED
Tables/Fragments validated: 0

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
