Hi Tom,

I'm just wondering how you have a manual library and then have a path with
desttype=library instead of desttype=drive?  And also, can I just update my
lto2_offsite device class to point to my drlib manual library definition
since that is what will be asking for the tape mounts?  Thanks again!

Your 'define drive' commands need to reference the library they're in;
FWIW, here's mine:

DEFINE DEVCLASS NIBLTO DEVTYPE=LTO FORMAT=DRIVE MOUNTLIMIT=DRIVES
MOUNTWAIT=60 MOUNTRETENTION=60 PREFIX=ADSM LIBRARY=ALEX
SET SERVERNAME ADSM
DEFINE LIBRARY ALEX LIBTYPE=MANUAL
DEFINE DRIVE ALEX DRIVE_01 ONLINE=Yes
DEFINE PATH ADSM ALEX SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=LIBRARY ONLINE=YES
DEFINE PATH ADSM DRIVE_01 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE LIBRARY=ALEX
DEVICE=/dev/rmtX ONLINE=YES

And the 'define path' for the drive is all one line. I've actually got
this set up as my D/R device config file that I load from floppy just
before the database restore. Saves editing on-site.

Hi Tom,

Gotcha!  So I guess my devconfig file could look like this.  And then
when
it's up and it has restored the TSM server it will have the identical
definitions as I have at home and then I will just define more manual
drives, the paths to the drives and move from there?  If I leave the
other
definitions there after the TSM DB restore, will conflicts occur?  Thank
you again!

      DEFINE DEVCLASS DR_LTO2 DEVTYPE=LTO FORMAT=ULTRIUM2C
      ESTCAPACITY=209715200K MOUNTLIMIT=DRIVES MOUNTWAIT=60
      MOUNTRETENTION=5 PREFIX=ADSM LIBRARY=DRLIB
      DEFINE DEVCLASS NASDEV DEVTYPE=NAS FORMAT=DRIVE
      ESTCAPACITY=209715200K MOUNTLIMIT=DRIVES MOUNTWAIT=180
      MOUNTRETENTION=0 PREFIX=ADSM LIBRARY=DRLIB
      SET SERVERNAME TSMPROD
      SET SERVERPASSWORD 1829fecd5fecda74
      DEFINE LIBRARY DRLIB LIBTYPE=MANUAL
      DEFINE DRIVE LTO1
      DEFINE DRIVE LTO6
      DEFINE PATH TSMPROD LTO1 SRCTYPE=SERVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE
LIBRARY=DRLIB
      DEVICE=/DEV/RMT#
      DEFINE PATH NAS_SERVER_2 LTO6 SRCTYPE=DATAMOVER DESTTYPE=DRIVE
      LIBRARY=DRLIB DEVICE=C64T0LO

Would you believe -- both?

Until the TSM database is restored and TSM started, you live off the
device config file; after the restore, you live off the definition in
the TSM database.

So -- change the device config file -- I usually go with a one-drive
manual library, as that's all I need to get the database restore
running. Once the database is restored, start TSM and make any changes
required to drives/paths/libraries. I've found it simpler to just delete
everything and then re-define to match the D/R environment.

Hey All!

I'm going to do a DR pre-test to see what I need to do concerning the
devconfig file.  I currently have an External and ACSLS library
configured
with LTO2 tape drives, the device classes, paths, etc.  When I go to DR
I
will have just the drives attached to the server.  My question is:
before
I issue the dsmserv restore command to restore the TSM server from a
dbbackup, do I want to delete all references to the home TSM
configuration
and add the manual library, device class and paths or do I do
delete/update/add the configuration changes to the server after?   I
have
everything planned out using my DRM plan, but this is the only portion
of
the plan that I am unsure of the order of operations.  Thank you in
advance!
