Migrating windows clients to AIX

Hi List, I have the opportunity of moving all my windows clients to an lpar on a P5. We currently backup all windows clients to windows TSM servers. Now what I'm after is how I go about this and move all my data. I'm guessing that I can't just export the TSM DB from the windows server and put it o

Paul, TSM DB backups are OS specific, you will not be able to restore a DB backup from your Windows TSM server to a newly built AIX server. The only way to achieve what you want is as you have said, either through exporting the nodes over a period of time or simply backing up the nodes afresh to t

hi all, I am thinking of upgrading and old TDP for SAP from 3.2.0.13 to version 3.3.2 in a HP-UX machine. Could someone explain me the procedure to install the TDP ¿? It is my first installation of a TDP... ;-(( Could someone explain me also what is the administration assistant ¿? Thank You !

Ibán, First, I think you should use latest version 5.3.2, with that you have to upgrade bu/archive client and API too. This is how I do these upgrades: 1. Uninstall TDP for mySAP.com 2. Uninstall bu/archive client and API 3. Install bu/archive client and API newer versions 4. "Remove" java

Thanks Sami !! I use the 3.3.2 version because the machine OS is HP-UX 11.00, so could I not do anything more. If I remember well, is the latest version for HP-UX 11.00. uhmm... I have some questions--- ;-)): Why you are moving the java directory ¿? is it necessary for the TDP to run ¿? After

Hi Ibán, We move java directory because we had some problems installing versions 3.3.?.?. To remind: Remember move those java directories back as those were. When you are installing TDP it will ask you is this new installation or just upgrade. BUT you have to have those Management Classes and

Yeh...i agree Joe. We have the same situation here. We have a 3583 with LTO2 in a test/DR environment and it is painful to work with it, load failures, locks up, you name it, just very inconsistent behavior. No drive failures though and we have LTO2 in it. We also have a 3584 in our production envi

Yes, that is correct - HP had this feature with LTO1. I did hear, however, that this created some interoperability issues. If you wrote a tape on an HP LTO1 drive, there was a chance you would have trouble reading it back on other vendors drives, because the tracks weren't written quite accordin

I'm working on a disaster recovery scenario where our TSM server (AIX) and tape library (3584)that has 90 LTO tapes in tape pools is destroyed and several other servers are destroyed. We have approx. 85 copy pool tapes off site. Our thought is to recreate the TSM server via mksysb, restore the T

Easy as pie. When you restore the TSM data base, it wil show that your primary tape pool tapes are still "readwrite", and your offsite tapes are "offsite". But, your primary pool tapes are actually burned up, and your copypool tapes have presumably been retrieved from your vault and are now at you

No problem. Rebuild (from mksysb) your TSM server. Restore your TSM database (you'll need the current TSM device config file and volume history file, with the device config file changed to match the proper rmt names for the tape drives) -- OR -- we have a custo D/R device config file that define

Only thing I would disagree with is the order of your checkins. Maybe for an actual disaster, but for a D/R test where you have your copypool tapes shipped to the recovery center, depending on the timing of the dbbackup you'll be restoring and those tapes, there could actually be "live" tapes tha

Yep. In our case, the database backups go off-site with the copypool tapes and we ship (or hand-carry) all tapes that are off-site from our storage location (the company hangar) to the D/R hotsite at the time of the test. So I've usually got two to six 'empty' tapes off-site per the most recent da
