Hi Troy,
If I understand your right. You don't want TBMR to restore your SAN Disks. You
want some sort of Include/Exclude list in TBMR?
I haven't work with TBMR since Oct 2008. But as I remember it, that part is
hard coded. TBMR will generate the file list when i does "Q File" via DSMC.
What I recommend is that you open a change request ticket to the Cristie UK
Support. (cbmr AT cristie DOT com)
Best Regards

Ämne: TBMR & Revisit of exclusions in a restore
We're testing Cristie's new TBMR client, specifically the Linux version
(v.6.1.2-p2). Very slick product.
As you may know this version of Cristie's BMR uses the standard TSM node, as
opposed to the CBMR which uses the API client and a second TSM node. I
believe this TBMR client is based on the TSM Linux client v.5.5.0.6. Sidenote:
Our server is TSM Server (AIX) v.5.5.2.1, as is the TSM client v.5.5.2.
But, I've ran into a funky issue on our TBMR Restores.
I'm trying to do a "forklift" migration of a RedHat 4.7 server from an IBM x440
rack to an IBM HS21 blade. We have the current server built w/ the RedHat OS
on a RAID1 locally-attached pair and w/ the ORACLE database binaries & files on
the SAN-attached LUN's with the Oracle standard naming of filesystems
"/u01-/u13".
(Once I get the base OS restored via TBMR and running on the Blade, then I can
reattach the SAN-filesystems and run/troubleshoot from there.)
So, in my regular TSM backups I use our "inclexcl.txt" file to exclude
"/u03-/u13" as the filesystems where the database datafiles are. I include the
/u01 and /u02 filesystems because they keep the Oracle binaries and configs.
However, in a BMR situation - I want to exclude these SAN-based filesystems (in
other words all /u01-/u13) from the TBMR restore. I only want to restore the
standard linux filesystems; "/", "/boot", "/var", "/usr", etc...
Other than modifying the "tbmrcfg" or "disrec.ini" portions of the TBMR
configurator - there is an area in the TBMR-Restore process that asks for DSMC
commandline flags. Theoretically, I could input an alternate include/exclude
file or the like.
Any input would be appreciated...
Regards,
Troy
