Marc, Part of our routine to send tapes offsite includes "BACKUP STGPOOL DISKDIRPOOL COPYPOOL" which send the DIRMC storage pool offsite.
Part of the restoration procedure includes "RESTORE STGPOOL DISKDIRPOOL" Milton Johnson Voice: 210-677-6728 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Marc Levitan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 8:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Move nodedata - what is moved first What would happen if there was a site disaster and the data was only on the disk which is no longer available to perform restores? I guess what I am asking is, without sending DIRMC off-site, can you recover from a site disaster? |---------+---------------------------> | | Deon George | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | .COM> | | | Sent by: "ADSM: | | | Dist Stor | | | Manager" | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | T.EDU> | | | | | | | | | 10/23/2003 08:07| | | PM | | | Please respond | | | to "ADSM: Dist | | | Stor Manager" | | | | |---------+---------------------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------| | | | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | cc: | | Subject: Re: Move nodedata - what is moved first | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------| Peter, > servers .

Is the directory information you referring about related to Windows systems? You should use the DIRMC client option to store all your directory information in a DISK based storage pool (DISK or FILE), so that it remains on faster quicker access media for restore purposes. (Dont let that stuff go to tape for the reasons you have outlined below.) The DIRMC client option is not really required for Unix based systems, as the database has enough space to store that information. ...deon --- Have you looked at the A/NZ Tivoli User Group website? http://www.tuganz.org Deon George, IBM Tivoli Software Engineer, IBM Australia Office: +61 3 9626 6058, Fax: +61 3 9626 6622, Mobile: +61 412 366 816, IVPN +70 66058 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ibm.com/tivoli
