Hi All,


I  installed a TSM 6.2.0.0 server some times ago, where I'm now facing nasty 
IC71983 bug (slow Win2k8 system backup objects deletion).
As this server is just a test instance that I would like to have emptied, and 
as I would like to avoid to install a maintenance level just in order to be 
able applying some eFix, I thought that it would be easier to "reset" the 
existing server, then to re-inject the previously extracted server scripts into 
it, using macros.
Could anyone provide me a list of steps required to reset the DB on a TSM 6.2 
server ? I do not want to change anything in the DB or LOGS layout, just have 
the volumes initialized ... I suppose that I should use the "dsmserv format" 
command, but would avoid to do mistakes in the brand new (at least for me) DB2 
world
Thanks in advance for your tips !
Cheers.
Arnaud
