Hi,


I did perfect a method on my AIX SP cluster, but I havent visited it for a 
while.

1. Use NIM to build a new rootvg, with TSM installed. ( it could be a tape 
image or rebuild from  install media in your case)
2. Use alt_disk_install functionality to create an alternate rootvg
3. Use TSM to restore latest versions of / /var /usr etc to alternate 
filesystems
4. Boot from alternate filesystem
5. in the SP world, run a CUSTOMIZE on the node to get the ODM updated with 
node-specific SP stuff. 

Its not really all that difficult.  The only bit that threw me was getting the 
SP Stuff to work.

Regards

Steve Harris

Has anyone tried to script a BMR solution for NT or AIX using tsm.  Everyone
keeps saying the Bare Metal Restore is just a bunch of scripts that access
TSM but has anyone tried create those scripts themselves.

Thanks
