Hi,

>From memory one should do the upd server force sync=yes on the target machine.

In this case ON server-B do upd server server-a forcesync=yes.

After restore of the DB server-server comm will be down again because 
out-of-sync issues.

Regards,

Karel

Onderwerp: [ADSM-L] Server DB restore from offsite TSM server SNAPSHOT

I am trying to experiment with doing a V5 to V6 conversion by first restoring 
the V5 server to a test server.

We have very little experience doing DB restores and none involving an offsite 
TSM server.  My first attempts failed.  I think I know how to fix it but the 
docs on how to perform a DB restore are a little contradictory to what I want 
to do.

SERVER-A performs DB SNAPSHOT backups to SERVER-B via server-to-server 
definitions.

Installed a same-level TSM server onto a test machine.
Did "dsmserv format" to prepare DB space to the equivalent of  SERVER-A.
Replaced the test server volhist, devconfig and dsmserv.opt files from copies 
of SERVER-A like-files.

Tried to do a "dsmserv restore db volumenames=name.I.got.from.volhist
devclass=SERVER-B"

Since I tried this over a month ago, I don't recall the error but I think it 
has to do with the server-to-server definition being out of sync since this is 
not the original SERVER-A.

My guess is to bring up the test server and manually do a "UPDATE SERVER 
SERVER-B FORCESYNCE=YES"

However, when I go through the book scenarios on restoring a server DB, it
says:

"Attention: Do not start the server until after you restore the database (the 
next step). Starting the server before the restore would destroy any existing 
volume history files."

So, how do I do this?  Do I bring up the test server first and correct the sync 
before replacing the volhist file?

Am I wrong in how I  am trying to do this?  Is there a better/different way to 
do this?

Looking for any suggestions/hints.....
