Sure, to move an adsm environment across town where I was a few states away
and didn't want to fly in for a half day...
define a device class of "FILE" and use it to backup the DB.
I did a full, then FTP'ed it over to a new machine that was to become the
server... as soon as I got the full FTP'ed over I did a restore with
commit=no, then I locked out clients, did an incremental, FTP'ed that one
over, did a restore with commit=yes and started up TSM. (while I was doing
that the DNS folks were doing there thing, then the clients just had to
bounce their schedulers...)
>>-DEFine DEVclass--device_class_name----DEVType--=--FILE------->
.-MOUNTLimit--=--1----------------.
>-----+---------------------------------+----------------------->
'-MOUNTLimit--=--mountlimitvalue--'
.-MAXCAPacity--=--4M----.
>-----+-----------------------+--------------------------------->
'-MAXCAPacity--=--size--'
.-DIRectory--=--current_directory_name--.
>-----+---------------------------------------+----------------><
'-DIRectory--=--directory_name----------'
so something like
def devc FLATFILE devt=file maxcap=4096M dir=/usr/adsm/flatfile
then just use it like
backup db t=f s=y dev=flatfile
and it will create a file in /usr/adsm/flatfile
to automatically get rid of the file in that directory, do like you would
normally... del volhist t=dbb tod=-x and any db backup files in
/usr/adsm/flatfile older than "x" will be deleted...
