Hello TSM gurus, Any body experienced with backup the tsm database into a disk or filesystems.
Actually , we have 2 UNIX box model P630. 1 running primary TSM server with 3584 LTO Library and 1 standby TSM server with 3584 LTO Library (Similar configuration to primary). The location between the two server is around 200KM. (128MB bandwith) I would like to make the primary TSM database backup onto NFS directory where both unix box can see. I also export the information data such as devconfig, Volumehistory , on the standby unix box. The TSM database backup run every 6 hours via crontab. Any one who are expert in TSM , please share with me what's the best step to configure and new to most of TSM users. By the way, I have backup the TSM database onto NFS filesystems and it work fine. But I cannot restore the database. The step I did was ... 1. define the DEVICE FILE CLASS called DISK-TMP and directory /nfsdb. (import nfs directory). 2. define file library 3. define file drive backup db type=full file=/nfsdb On completion , the database volume /nfsdb/858571.dbb was created. Now I restore on standby TSM server using this command.. #dsmserv server restore db preview=no /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin >dsmserv restore db preview=no ANR7800I DSMSERV generated at 09:56:45 on Jun 13 2003.
