hi,
I have a TSM 5.3 customer who wants to test Disaster Recovery of TSM without using DRM.
At main site they do have 3583 lib and 3581 Manual Autoloader.
Server OS on both site are AIX
Correct me if i am wrong with the following procedure:
1. Restore mksysb of Main Site TSM AIX server on DR site AIX server.
2. Recreate enough size DB volumes & recovery log volumes on DR site
3. Mirror them as they are at main site
4. Resotore latest volume history file ( from Main to DR site)
5. Place TSM DB tape Restore into 3581 & restore TSM database using restore db command
6. update primary site volume status to destroyed.
7.Clone any AIX client by restoring dsm.opt and then let the data restored from copy storege pool.
Questions:
1. Is the procedure seems ok
2. How can TSM will know that cartridge with TSM DB is now loaded into 3581 ( as the element addresses will be quite different )
does restore db command provide any parameter to specify volume ?
3. while restoring TSM db , TSM server should be running or stopped?
Thanks in advance
