from my understanding you can do the following: Take a full TSM database backup from the main site on tape. Take a backup to volhist.out Take a backup to devconfig.out Copy both volhist.out and devconfig.out to the same location in the TSM DR site. issue the following command: dsmserv restore db devclass=(device class name) vol=(DB tape name) commit=yes All TSM configurations (Policies, Storage pools, nodes, management classes, library definition,…etc.) on the main site will be restored on the DR site including
In the next few days i will start with the above.... madunix On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 4:23 PM, Daniel Sparrman<daniel.sparr...@exist.se> wrote: > Hi > The easiest way would probably to setup your new library and server on the > remote site, configure the TSM instance and then export the information from > the old server to the new server over a server-to-server connection. > > This is described in the TSM server manual, chapter 22: Exporting and > importing data. > > The way you describe is possible aswell, even though I would change it > slightly: > > 1.
