performed prior to returning the Tivoli Storage Manager server to normal use:

1. Immediately after the Tivoli Storage Manager server database is restored, placethe following options into the dsmserv.opt file:

!MI"##$%& '(revents migration and reclamation from )ic)ing off when the server

is started*

been restored. If the volume history file is lost or unrecoverable, then all se8uential

volumes should be audited, for the sa)e of caution. The audit command is

performed as follows:
