How about if I have pre-defined the tape library sharing feature for the 2 TSM Servers in the 2 sites? So when both TSM Server instances run on the same machine, I can activate the tape library sharing features so one act as the Library Manager and the other as Library Client?
Theoretically seems ok to me, but the operation looks complex, anyone has implemented this similar config?

If you had a 3584, then you could logically partition the library giving each TSM server some cartridge slots as well as some tape drives. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Molly YM Pui Sent: June 9, 2002 11:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Technical question. Hi all, Based on the following discussion, I'm interested to know, if both TSM Servers (say in 2 separate sites) have attached to a tape storage pool, eg each has it's own LTO 3583 library. When one of the site crash, then I restore the TSM DB to another machine on the other site, so now both TSM server instances run on the same machine and has only 1 library, will the solution work in anyway? Thanks. Best Regards, Molly Pui Jozef Zatko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: "ADSM: cc: Dist Stor Subject: Re: Technical question.

You can have on both machines installed two TSM servers (one active and second inactive but ready to use in case of fail). Then, when one of them fail, you can restore its database (from latest backup) on second machine and run both servers simultaneously. Or you can backup TSM database on each other via server-to-server configuration. Another question is if you need to automate this proces. Probably the best solution would be to use cluster (if it is possible, as I do not know your platform, servers location and so on). Hope this helps Ing. Jozef Zatko Login a.s.

Hi at all ... I have a technical question and I try to explain in good form. If I have a 2 servers with TSM, for example TSM1 and TSM2. The server TSM1 make a backups a one group of server "GROUP1" and TSM2 make a backups a other group "GROUP2". My cuestion is: In case of fail the TSM1 is posible perform a backup a GROUP1 with the other server of tsm "TSM2" with the same tsm database of TSM1. Is possible to have a two databases in one tsm server and active or inactive each one in different times ? If not possible the are any altenative or make this in other way. Thank you very much for theirs help !!! Best Regards Christian Astuni
