Hi All

I'm running TSM on Solaris 2.7 and moving to Solaris 2.9 on a new physical
server.

If moving a TSM server from one machine to another, do you format space for
the backup pools first, then do the restore, or do you restore your DB
first and then format space for the backup pool and archive pool?

I installed TSM and then formatted all the space necessary for the log and
db vols, backuppool and archive devices. I then restored the db, but when I
start the new TSM server instance I am seeing messages such as the
following :-

03/15/06 12:50:53     ANR1315E Vary-on failed for disk volume
/usr/tsmdata/back-
                       up01.dsm - invalid label block.

Now I'm guessing this is because TSM on the old server (and hence the db)
knows nothing about this new device, so do I just create the disk pools
after restore?

Many thanks

Farren Minns
