Bill,

Thank you very much.. for your reply.

Today is started to build the config and hope to finish it on friday.

TSM server at the branche office (TSM2) with a 1 mb WAN connection to the
TSM server at HQ (TSM1).

Doing db backups from TSM2 to virtual volumes at TSM1 server over the WAN.

In HQ I can restore the TSM2 db on the same LPAR as the TSM1 server from
this virtual volume and so creating a second TSM instance on this LPAR

This instance will check in copypool volumes via a shared library of the
TSM1 server.

Something like:

checkin libvol sharedlib stat=privat owner "TSM2"

And so we come to a working solution ..I geuss.

Best regards,

Koen

Koen,

The answer is yes, you can do what you want.  Library partitioning may be
easier, however, depending on your configuration.

What do you plan to do with the restored server after the move?  If you are
going to access data tapes for the branch database at HQ, are there any
cartridges with duplicate barcode labels?  If you're using HQ as a DR site,
do any of the copypool tapes from Branch have the same cartridge labels?

The easiest method I can think of, if you have WAN access between the two,
is to set up virtual volumes on the HQ for the Branch, do a database backup
over the network, move your volhist and devconfig to HQ, and do the
restore.

If you don't have WAN connection, you're going to have to set up the shared
library on HQ and edit the Branch devconfig file before doing your restore
-
that will take some work.

Dear listers,

I am setting up the following config:

HQ:

1 3584 with 9 fibre drives
2 AIX tsm servers on 1 690 lpar with disk and tape on 2109-f16 switches and
ess
tdp for sap

Brache office:
1 tsm server on a remote location.
1 AIX tsm server with disk and tape on 2109-f16 switches and ess
tdp for sap

I would like to:

Restore the tsm server of the remote location on the second TSM instance at
HQ in bij using library sharing instead of making a logical partition in
the
3584.

Question:

Kan I us the second tsm instance to restore the branche office tsm server
via "dsmserv restore db
-k ....." using the shared library managed by the main tsm server in HQ. or
am i obliged to use hardware partitioning of the 3584 ....

THNX in advance,

Koen Willems
