There are all sorts of bells and whistles you can do with a DR scenario, but you need to keep in mind that you want that TSM DR instance up and operational as soon as possible. Here are some ideas:
1. Synchronous replication of your TSM database. 2. Electronic vaulting of copy pools to the library at the DR site. 3. Electronic vaulting of a second TSM database backup to the library at the DR site. 4. Testing of DR processes on a regular basis--a very regular basis. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) CDW Berbee System engineer 7145 Boone Avenue North, Suite 140 Brooklyn Park MN 55428-1511 763-592-5963 www.berbee.com > -----Original Message----- > From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Bell, Charles (Chip) > Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 9:02 AM > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Subject: [ADSM-L] Using TSM for On-Demand Disaster Recovery Data? > > My boss is talking about us having a site that will host hardware for > our > core applications, including TSM.
