All I can say is -- this works. TSM 5.1.6.3, actual library is a 3584 with 10 drives (becomes a 3584 with 6 drives at our hot-site, per contract) We've run this config for three successful recoveries. (And we may not even need the path definition for the library, but it doesn't seem to hurt).

Hi Tom, I'm just wondering how you have a manual library and then have a path with desttype=library instead of desttype=drive? And also, can I just update my lto2_offsite device class to point to my drlib manual library definition since that is what will be asking for the tape mounts?

Hi Tom, Gotcha! So I guess my devconfig file could look like this. And then when it's up and it has restored the TSM server it will have the identical definitions as I have at home and then I will just define more manual drives, the paths to the drives and move from there? If I leave the other definitions there after the TSM DB restore, will conflicts occur? Thank you again!

Until the TSM database is restored and TSM started, you live off the device config file; after the restore, you live off the definition in the TSM database. So -- change the device config file -- I usually go with a one-drive manual library, as that's all I need to get the database restore running. Once the database is restored, start TSM and make any changes required to drives/paths/libraries. I've found it simpler to just delete everything and then re-define to match the D/R environment.

Hey All! I'm going to do a DR pre-test to see what I need to do concerning the devconfig file. I currently have an External and ACSLS library configured with LTO2 tape drives, the device classes, paths, etc. When I go to DR I will have just the drives attached to the server. My question is: before I issue the dsmserv restore command to restore the TSM server from a dbbackup, do I want to delete all references to the home TSM configuration and add the manual library, device class and paths or do I do delete/update/add the configuration changes to the server after? I have everything planned out using my DRM plan, but this is the only portion of the plan that I am unsure of the order of operations. Thank you in advance! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems Work:(717)302-6603 Fax:(717)302-5974 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
