Sun e3500 server running solaris 2.8, tsm server v5.1.6.2. I have just installed a dds4 drive on this machine.
Using the Solaris st driver, I can successfully use tar, and mt with this drive. I would like to use it for creating backup sets, but also have the use of it with tar, ufsdump etc. The eventual outcome of this plan is to create a bare metal restore plan for the tsm server. >From my reading of the tsm admin guide, it looks as if I must use the tivoli device >driver instead of Solaris st. Questions: 1. Is this really the case? 2. Anyone done a bare metal restore of a solaris based tsm server? 3. If yes, please give a general overview. Thanks for the help. Just trying to get our site as prepared as possible. Gary Lee Senior Operating Systems Analyst Ball State University phone 765-285-1310
