Hi all,
I'm pretty green when it comes to the world of TSM.
The issue I'm having is that:
I have an old tsm server, it died … dbbackup and volhist/devconfig …were backup to tape….but the volhist/devconfig files were on the physical box….and now that box is dead (won’t start up) I'm unable to check the volhist to find out which volumes has the
dbbackup…
There is a new tsm server instance on another physical box, that was meant to replace the one that failed…
the closest thing I can think of is to do a restore db, and just plug in the volume names one at a time to either get some progress or
an error message… is that the right approach method? Is there another (better) way?
When defining the library, drives, volumes on the new server, I checked in the volumes as private, rather than scratch because I didn't want the
risk the scratch status overwriting any data. Was I correct in setting the status? Would doing an audit of the volumes help with determining the data/location
of the DB backup data of the former tsm server?
your time and assistance is appreciated,
Kim t.
