Hi,
just 2 cents worth, wenn you restore a W2k server to different HW you have to
install W2k first using the drivers for your HW.
-The server is not in a Domain, but has the same name and IP address,
-you restore the registry, then you restore the remainder of the files, you
reboot.
-when the server starts you press F6 and start up in savemode, if that is
possible ( SCSI controller).
- you add all your driver software for the new HW and boot in normal mode.
- if W2k won't boot at all boot to the recovery console and and copy the driver
files needed to the system etc directory.
Generally speaking it has always worked, when we tested it, but so far, out of a
lot of servers we only ever had to restore the data partitions of the servers.
For DB servers we won't have that problem because they never last 5 years
anyway, everyone always starts to complain that they are too slow, which means
new HW in a matter of 2 years.
Just a thought
Best Regards

Looks like there is no easy way to do a restore to different hardware. What
happens if there is a disaster and you cannot get your 5 year old server
from anywhere. How is TSM going to restore to that server! To me it looks
like TSM is very good at taking backups and managing them but in the restore
department I have serious doubts.
How are other people doing their disaster recovery exercises? Do you keep
identical hardware at DR site also? What happens if you need a faster
server?
There have been references to Redbook SG24-4880, however, this redbook tells
you how to do a restore on identical hardware only.
All comments are welcome..
