Hi all
i am trying to figure out how to handle DB2 databases/log backups in a new tsm setup (not tsm DB). The current set up is that on the prod side, the DB2 archive logs are being dumped to a random access storage pool in TSM (as are full online DB backups in its own stgpool). from there it is moved to a tapepool and then a copy tape pool.
The environment uses HADR, so it replicates DB2 log updates over the WAN to the DR site. DB2 is designed during this HADR failover/failback to reference a single TSM server instance(the prod server- which is restored to the DR server) which allows for automatic backup and recovery without having to change anything in the HADR setup
If i use TSM replication, which i want to do for the new setup, i do not know how this will affect the DB2 processes for DR. obviously the DR tsm server will have its own name/instance so the design reference to a single TSM server instance will not work. I am not sure what type of stgpool to use for logs/db - do i/should i define separate container storage pools for these and replicate them or some other method?
i am a bit lost on this design aspect.
