Hi,

Is there anyone out there who can give me some information regarding
restoring a TSM database.

I am going to implement another TSM instance at one of my sites in the near
future and I will be sharing the library with the other instance. For
information, the library is a 3584 with 12 LTO tape drives installed.

On a daily basis, I will be restoring the new instance database from a
backup tape taken earlier in the day. (In effect, I am using the second
instance as a DR version for another site).

I have heard that if you are sharing a library and you want to restore the
TSM database you must stop TSM on the other instances before doing so. In
effect, the TSM database restore needs exclusive use of the library.

Our current TSM Server version is 4.2.1.

Can anyone through some light on this ???

Thankyou in anticipation.
