My organization is developing a DR "hotsite" at one of our other facilities across town, and we are considering making some radical changes to our TSM environment. I know there are several folks on t
everything seems fine to me if you want to have full DR with TSM solution you have to have another (same or similar) hardware infrastructure to recover primary storage pools your second TSM server wo

I would recommend using the second server only in the event of a disaster. Since you are connected by fibre, the primary server can send the data directly to the tape drives in the library at fibre s

I hadn't thought of server-to-server communications slowing me down. Good point! Thanks to everyone for their input so far! I would recommend using the second server only in the event of a disaster.
Just a different thought why not back everything up to the a TSM server at the DR hotsite. You should easily be able to backup 1.5 TB's of information in a night though a 1 Gb connection. If this is
Don't forget to consider the possibility that your disaster could happen the other way around - the swarms of locusts may consume your hotsite, leaving only your "primary site" functional. If the onl
As I said there are two ways to look at it. For full DR we all back up so that if a site disaster were to happen we could keep the business running. If the hot site were to be the one destroyed then
