Hi *SM-ers!
We are about to implement a second (fallback) IT center on another
location. The idea is to create a hot standby environment for TSM.
We are already using a separate copypool which will be moved to the new
remote location, so if the primary pool gets lost, we have all data (up
until the last backup stgpool of course) on the remote location.
However, in case of a disaster, not only will we have to be able to
recover clients (from this copypool), but we also need to continue
backup here.
This would be no problem if one could promote a TSM copypool to a
primary pool. In this case one could just continue making (the forever
incremental) backups, but TSM doesn't offer this function (yet). An
UPDATE COPYPOOL POOLTYPE=PRIMARY would be very nice to have...
The only thing I could think of is creating a standby library which can
be connected in case of a disaster to host the new primary pool and
start all over with backing up. A waste of money because it will
probably (and hopefully) never be used..
How do other twin-centers solve this?
Thank you very much for any hints and tips in advance!!!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
