Subject: Disaster Happened!
I'll try to make this brief. Last night we were doing upgrades on some of our
systems, most notably and RS6000 SP Node running AIX 4.3.3. During OS
maintenance level update we lost connectivity from Control W/S with CDROM to the
Client SP NOde - It went downhill from there! WE shortly couldn't even getb
into the Node even from TTY.
With great effort from IBM support we got in and got the NOde back in config
but no way to get back where we were. Had to reload a new image on the node and
then we loaded the TSM 4.1.0.0 client. (The node originally had 3.1.0.6 client
with API interfacing to ORacle's EBU for Oracle 7.3.4 database _ Peoplesoft
App.) DB's are on Extrenal IBM ESS so shouild be o.k.
We have restored /usr, now restoring /var and will go to /home and then /.
Looks good so far. We have never restored a complete AIX system from ADSM and
certainlyu not an SP NODE. I just got back in from 3 hours sleep while another
guy got us this far.
I plan to call Tivoli, but wanted to check with anybody that has done this or
similar with AIX. And anybody that also has SP experience would be helpful.
Are we going down wrong path? What are gotcha's? What about SP issues?
Default assumption is after we resotre these rootvg filesystems, we can reboot
and everybody will live happily everafter?!?!?!
We will not reboot until I can get some good feeling that it will come up as we
may not be able to get back in. I know this may not make good sense as I'm not
10% today but that's why we are checking with others. I will also try to get
"DR restore manual" from onluine at Tivle/IBM also.
(We are alsio restoring a 30+ GB Novell volume - gues how long that will
ytake!!)
THanks in advance for any helpful comments.
I will post our "Final Answer" when it's all back up!
