Hi all,
We did a test on our remote site to restore our primary TSM server on a
second DR server. On the DR site we've got two servers, one for normal
backups and the other for DR purposes. When TSM is restored we would
like to use the DR server to act as a library client to the first TSM
server.
Some details:
TSM version = 5.2.*
AIX = 5.3.*
Procedure:
- Shutdown primary TSM server
- Restore TSM on DR server
- Startup primary TSM server
- Remove paths, library and drives from DR server
- Configure library client on DR server
- Put all tapes in library
- Checkin tapes as private in primary TSM server
- Audit library on DR server
Only two tapes are changing ownership to DR server instead of the 180
off-site tapes. The diff with the q vol command on the DR server is :
Tape which change ownership:

The only diff I can see is the output on the Scratch Volume question.
If I look in the Volume History file on the primary server this RAR010
tape has ownership of the DR server.
Why isn't this changing then ???
Any help is appreciated...
