Dear listers,

A customer wants to build a TSM config consiting of two tsm servers on AIX
both in a seperate datacentre with a 2 mb framerelay connection in between.
They use fibre connected 3584 libraries on both of the sites.

The customer wants to place his drm volumes as hot standby in the library
within the other datacentre.

He would like to sync his TSM databases on both site so when a disaster
strikes the can start restoring with no extra effort in the other
datacentre.

My plan was to split both 3584 in to two logical libraries and build a
second tsm instance on both pSeries. When the DRM volumes arive at one site
a script does a dsmserv restore from the DRM database and in this way the
drm volumes are availleble at the hot site.

Is there a way within TSM or on a lower level to just sinc databases remote
via framerelay ?

In this way I dont have to work with a dsmserv restore routines...

Best regards,

Koen Willems
