If we put together a wiki or forum, and pull enough info together to make something like this work, would we get a cease-n-desist letter from IBM?
Does anyone on the list have a feel for how tolerant IBM is with "Open Source" style projects when they interact this closely with TSM? Thanks, [RC] -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of BEYERS Kurt Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2009 9:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TSM 6.1 : Database replication Feature DB2 has a HADR mechanism (High Availability Disaster Recovery) to replicate a database to another server. It is basically just log shipping from the active db to the passive db. The most strict mechanism is that a commit to an SQL statement is only given to the application when the DB2 memory cache that contains the results of the statement is flushed to disk on the standby server. The standby server cannot be accessed, it is in a rollforward status. >From what I've been reading so far, the HADR mechanism will not be supported initially. It requires some changes to the primary database and IBM tells strictly that the DB2 database can (or should) be accessed in a read-only way.

Is there any way to replicate the TSM > database to another site (DR site) by using DB2 feature? You're on your own for the experiment, and that path is unexplored, so expect problems. But the short answer is "Probably, yes.". Expect to understand DB2 replication a LOT before you get it to work. - Allen S.
