Hello all,
I am doing a DR test and I'm restoring my TSM server on new hardware. Everything has been going well but I have reached the section of the DRM where I am recreating my disk pool. My disk pool is pretty simple. Its a 1000GB pool that is made of 10x 100GB raw logical volumes. The DRM Plan in section "PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT" tells me to create new 'unique' named volumes. Ok, no problem. I created 10 new logical volumes with the exact specs as the original ones, but I just appended a 'b' on the end of each lv name. So 'lv100' is named 'lv100b' on the new server.
I see the old volumes listed in the restored TSM db. So I updated them as 'Destroyed' and then tried to create the 10 new volumes to add to the disk storage pool. But I receive the following error message.
I checked in AIX and everything looks correct.
I check against the original system and everything looks the same (except that the LV State is open on the working system, but I assume that it because TSM is actively using the rlv there). I have tried a few variations on the "def vol" command, but It still hasn't worked. Does anything stick out? I also checked the permissions on the /dev/rlv100? files and they match up to the source system.
Thanks for responses.
Note: Here is a listing of the old volumes that have not yet been removed from the disk pool.
