Does anyone have any advice on restoring a database from tape onto a new system?
My organization has experienced a cataclysmic crash. Pretty much everything you can think of has happened to this sever, and we ended up rebuilding it from the ground up --
Currently running AIX 5.3ML3 on an IBM P series 9111-520.
Installed TSM Server 5.2.2 and patched it to 5.2.8.
The problem is that all of our data -- including the recovery plan and the volume groups themselves were completely destroyed. What we're left with is our tape library.
I had no way to even approximate what was in place before -- the people who implemented the TSM environment are long gone and we have NO documentation.
I'm trying to restore our DB to what is essentially a brand new system from tape. I've recreated all of the volume groups from scratch.
I tried going through each tape in the library with the command:
dsmserv restore db devclass=ltoclass volume=AXXXXX commit=yes (where X is the tape that I just loaded into DRIVE 1). the results I'm interested in (I suspect DB Backups) were:
ANR9999D icrest.c(2091): ThreadId<0> Rc=30 reading header record.

ANR8468I LTO volume A00006 dismounted from drive DRIVE1 (/dev/rmt3) in library 3584.
Further analysis from the command:
dsmserv display dbbackupvolume devclass=ltoclass vol=AXXXXX
ANR4444W DSMSERV DISPLAY DBBACKUPVOLUME: Input volume A00006 cannot be
processed.
on the plus(?) side, it did completely screw up our existing empty database from the base TSM install. I suspect it be failing to restore the DB because it's essentially going into a completely new system.
Does anyone have any advice on how to do this?
