Hi,

If the version was 5.x, I could say absolutely yes. You should  install a new 
TSM server with same version the old one. You should define old server 
environment. DB volumes, devices, etc.  After this you can restore from backup 
by specifiing db backup volumes at restore db command. I did it with v5.5.

Unfortunatelly, I don't have any experience with v6.x. It should be the same 
way.

Good luck,
Alper

Subject: [ADSM-L] recovering a crashed TSM server

Hi,
- OS: AIX 6.1
- mksysb of the operaring system exists
- no backup of TSM binaries, DB2 instance, etc.
- data on disk storage pool can be ignored. tape volumes contain main backups
- .dbv backup of TSM database exists.

Can this backup be restored to a newly installed TSM server?

Thank you
