We're testing Cristie's new TBMR client, specifically the Linux version (v.6.1.2-p2). Very slick product.
As you may know this version of Cristie's BMR uses the standard TSM node, as opposed to the CBMR which uses the API client and a second TSM node. I believe this TBMR client is based on the TSM Linux client v.5.5.0.6. Sidenote: Our server is TSM Server (AIX) v.5.5.2.1, as is the TSM client v.5.5.2. But, I've ran into a funky issue on our TBMR Restores. I'm trying to do a "forklift" migration of a RedHat 4.7 server from an IBM x440 rack to an IBM HS21 blade. We have the current server built w/ the RedHat OS on a RAID1 locally-attached pair and w/ the ORACLE database binaries & files on the SAN-attached LUN's with the Oracle standard naming of filesystems "/u01-/u13". (Once I get the base OS restored via TBMR and running on the Blade, then I can reattach the SAN-filesystems and run/troubleshoot from there.) So, in my regular TSM backups I use our "inclexcl.txt" file to exclude "/u03-/u13" as the filesystems where the database datafiles are. I include the /u01 and /u02 filesystems because they keep the Oracle binaries and configs. However, in a BMR situation - I want to exclude these SAN-based filesystems (in other words all /u01-/u13) from the TBMR restore. I only want to restore the standard linux filesystems; "/", "/boot", "/var", "/usr", etc... Other than modifying the "tbmrcfg" or "disrec.ini" portions of the TBMR configurator - there is an area in the TBMR-Restore process that asks for DSMC commandline flags. Theoretically, I could input an alternate include/exclude file or the like. Any input would be appreciated...
