DRM server to server functionality is really just electronic vaulting; the
secondary TSM server cannot just "take over" from the primary.

The primary server's data base is the ONLY one with the information/metadata
that is required to restore data from the copy pool tapes.

So you have to somehow recreate the primary server functionality by
restoring it's data base to another machine.

Now you could do that by setting up a second INSTANCE of TSM on your
secondary machine, or do it on another machine at your secondary site.

Hope that helps.

Hi ALL

Need info if I am using server to server functionality.

I have got a primary server for primary data and a secondary server for the
copy pools.

My question is, if i lose my primary server, how would I bring up the
secondary( COPY TAPES/DISK ) online
to act as the primary server.

If anyone has done this before and can help it would be appreciated.

Thks
Sean
