The new feature of ADSM for AIX called Disaster Recovery Manager
provides:
- Determination of what database backup and copy storage pool volumes
need to be moved offsite/back onsite (includes capability to
expire a database backup series) and tracks the media
location in the ADSM database. This is accomplished with
the new ADMIN commands MOVE/QUERY DRMEDIA.
- Automated generation of a server disaster recovery plan file. The
plan file includes:
- List of ADSM database backup and copy storage pool volumes
required to perform the recovery (the off-site location where
the volumes reside is included).
- Installation specific server recovery instructions.
- Devices required to read the database backup and copy storage pool
volumes.
- Space requirements for the ADSM database and recovery log.
- Copy of ADSM configuration files (volume history, device configuration,
and server options file).
- Shell scripts and ADSM macros required to recover the ADSM server.
The disaster recovery plan file is generated with the new ADMIN
command PREPARE.
