We create mksysb backups for all of our AIX servers and archive them into
TSM.  If we need to re-install, we restore the image from TSM, then use NIM
to re-install the image to the AIX server.  We use an NFS-exported
filesystem to create the mksysb images on.  It is owned by the NIM server,
and exported to each of the AIX boxes we want to backup.  The mksysb images
for the TSM server itself is left online, in case we need to re-create the
TSM server.

If your RTO (Restore Time Objective) is short, then you will want to leave
these images on disk, or as you suggest make different tapes for different
boxes.

Hello TSM'rs

I know I have seen this subject come up before, (so excuse the redundancy
of the question) but would like to know about mksysb's done through TSM.  I
know I have to do a mksysb for our Control Workstation to the SP
environment, and a mksysb to the box Tivoli server is on, but what about
all the other AIX boxes, can TSM restore mksysb's to build other boxes????
or is it easier (restore time) to make different tapes to different AIX
boxes so that they can be rebuilt while the TSM server is being built???

Thank You,
