Hello,

We need some help with our Disaster Recovery scenario.
We have two Network Storage Managers, model C01, with TSM Server for AIX
V4.1 and DRM licensed, both attached to their own IBM 3494 ATL.
Our goal is to achieve DR without manual tape-handling, so all data must be
send across the wire.

This is what we did:
*       Installed a special DISKPOOL for Client Nodes that are willing to
pay for DR
*       Defined device class devtype=server servername=targetserver on the
source server
*       Defined source server type=server and a special policy domain and
storage pool on the target server
*       Copied the primary DISKPOOL (on the source) to the COPYPOOL (on the
target) succesfully
*       Checked that the Virtual Volumes contains DR data
Until here no surprises, just plain DRM functionality

But now what we wish to do:
*       One single Client Node died at the primary site
*       The responsible department has rebuilt that Client Node at the DR
site and asked us to restore the data
*       We tried to make the target server aware to restore the data at his
site, but were unable to make it work

So what's the challenge:
*       Is there a way to rebuild individual Client Nodes at the DR site
without (additional) tape transport?

Any help is appreciated.
