DRM server to server functionality is really just electronic vaulting; the secondary TSM server cannot just "take over" from the primary.
The primary server's data base is the ONLY one with the information/metadata that is required to restore data from the copy pool tapes. So you have to somehow recreate the primary server functionality by restoring it's data base to another machine. Now you could do that by setting up a second INSTANCE of TSM on your secondary machine, or do it on another machine at your secondary site. Hope that helps. -----Original Message----- From: tsmadmin account for Excaliber Business Solutions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 8:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DRM QUESTION Importance: High Hi ALL Need info if I am using server to server functionality. I have got a primary server for primary data and a secondary server for the copy pools. My question is, if i lose my primary server, how would I bring up the secondary( COPY TAPES/DISK ) online to act as the primary server. If anyone has done this before and can help it would be appreciated.
