The only thing to do is to create a device-class with type File.

Here is our configuration:

Device Class Name FDB
Device Access Strategy Sequential
Storage Pool Count 0
Device Type FILE
Format DRIVE
Est/Max Capacity 60G                                (Filesize for 1
volume)
Mount Limit 1
Mount Wait (min) -
Mount Retention (min) -
Label Prefix -
Library -
Directory /adsm/volumes                           (where to store the
files[volumes])
Server Name -
Retry Period -
Retry Interval -
Shared NO
Last Update by (administrator) Me
Last Update Date/Time 2003-09-24 14:58:12.000000


then, by unloading the db:
dsmserv unloaddb devclass=fdb scratch=yes

You should test this on another server, just to be shure.
