What version of tsm server? I have successfully restored a db from a solaris server to the Z linux platform. This was version 5.5.2 if memory serves. IBM doesn't support this, but it does work. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of

Hello Nora, you're not telling us the version of the TSM-Server on the broken Solaris System. If it is a Version 5 Server, there is the possibility to migrate the TSM-DB to Linux and thus preserving the data in the library for further use. This is possible with TSM 7.1, have a look into the

Unfortunately I am not able to do an export node because the old server cannot access the tape library. Now all I have is the tapes themselves, and the database which I cannot restore to the new server running a different OS...any advise please ? +---

If the data is on tape, and you can't connect the old server to the tape library, could you connect it to a stand-alone LTO4 tape drive that you could plug directly into the Solaris server? Those aren't so hard to come by, might be a cheap solution. You don't need the original library, only a

As others have said, the best way is to recover the old server (assuming you can get the hardware). IBM do offer a recovery service (I've used it), assuming the tapes have not been overwritten, I'd expect you to get everything back. It's not cheap though and I'm pretty sure you'll need a server a

Nora, If you are able to bring up the old TSM server, you could do a export node directly to the new TSM server, provided that the two can communicate via TCP/IP with each other. I believe that TSM 7.1 allows you to restore UNIX operating systems TSM database backups into the new server, thoug

Without the database, it's basically impossible to get structured data off storage pool volumes. If you can get a Solaris 10 server up and running with the old database, you can use EXPORT NODE (either to sequential media or directly to the new server) to move the data to the new server. On Wed, D

Hello, We recently lost a TSM server because of a severe server hardware problem that makes the tape library completely inaccessible to the server. We are now building a new TSM server and connecting the library to it. However the new TSM server we are building is on a different OS (Red Hat linu

2013-12-11 Thread Prather, Wanda
AFAIK any NAS box that supports NDMP can be backed up to TSM via TCP/IP and ends up in the regular storage pool hierarchy, i.e. disk is fine. But I don't know that the NDMP protocol knows how to do a non-tape fibre connection, any more than TSM does. Do you have any documentation on how that w

Try this. From each of your TSM servers issue the commands below. Look over the output for clues. By adding the word, help, in front of each command you will get a nice explanation of the command and the expected output. You can also post the output back here for us to look over. query server f=d
