First, I did some reading in this forum and gathered as much information as I could and it helped me alot understanding stuff more than IBM doc most of the time.
Second, english is not my native language so be kind with me on that part.
I'm a TSM newbie and I'm doing DR/migration test for TSM 6.1, if I can sucessfully DR my original setup I will format/install w2k8r2 on the w2k3 box.
Here is my setup:
Original TSM: Physical --> win2k3 32 bit --> TSM 6.1.03 32bit--> Devclass file + Ts 3573 Tape library
DR TSM: VmWare VM--> win2k8r2 64 bit --> TSM 6.1.04 64bit--> Devclass file
Here is what I did, installed TSM in DR VM (VM-TSMLVL4), ran initial configuration wizard in standard mode, defined a node password, etc. all was fine. Installed BA client with admin command line. Initialised baclient using GUI. Connected as admin with default password, updated password and created new admin account. Defined a devclass file BDBACKUP2.
On original TSM I ran these command:
define devclass DBBACKUP2 devtype=file directory=E:\TSMLVL_DB maxcapacity=4G
backup db devclass=dbbackup2 type=full
Used FTP software to move the backup DB + dsmserv.opt + devconfig.out + volhist.out to new DR server.
On DR VM, stop tsm server1 service then command line: dsmserv.exe restore db todate=today
Got a few warning on screen about library DLL and other stuff but all completed succesfully.
I started tsm Server1 service and can connect to administrative command line (I get error when I try to change DRM file status about server not in compliance with License terms.)
Next problem appear when I launch the ba Client GUI it tries to connect to the original node VM-TSMLV4 and ask for password, I tried entering the node password that was working before and it didn't work (expected since DB was restored my logic says that node should be original node name). I tried entering the original TSM server node name: TSMLVL1 without a password or with the admin password but it doesn't work.
Problem is that on the original TSM I never entered any password to connect using the GUI, on the connection information when the GUI is connected I see:
Name: TSMLVL1
Type: windows
Version: 6.1.3.0
Archive retention: no
Authorization information
Authority level: client owner
Delete backup files: "YES"
Delete Archive files: "YES"
Deduplication: "Server Only"
Any pointer from there would be appreciated.
