Hi everybody,
I'm working on our disaster recovery plan and I'm having a problem with this... Here's the situation.
Building "A" - Production site
---------------------------------
TSM Server on an x345 machine, with 400GB storage pool and a 3583 library.
Building "B" - Recovery site
-------------------------------
TSM Server in vmware , with 20GB storage pool and a single LTO2 drive.
As you can see, very different environments. VMWare is not a problem as I got TSM running A1 inside it. My problem is this.
I rebuilt the TSM server in vmware, configured the single drive and the storage pool/database files etc. Everything works.
Now, let's say building "A" is no longer available and I have to recover data in Building "B". I recovered the database using our last db backup, that worked fine as well. BUT. it reconfigured the system (pools, etc...) exactly like the original location. Nothing works as I dont have enough space for the stg pools, not the same type of library etc...
How do I go about restoring "only" the tape infos so I can do data restores afterwards? I basically need to import the tape contents only, not the entire config.
Thanks a lot for your help!
