Hi Friends

but i do get a prepare file on daily basis in /tsm/drm/prepare folder..

so what should i do to eliminate the above message...do i need to create a prepare file again...

Hi,

The document "Disaster Recovery Strategies with Tivoli Storage Management" explain how you do to define the recovery plan.

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/SG246844.html

 

[Jeroen]

It are flat files with additional instructions for the TSM admin during a recovery.
Create them with an editor, they are not created by DRM
TSM is fully recoverable without those files.

possible contents of the files are contact numbers, location of vault etc...
Recovery Instructions for Tivoli Storage Manager Server XXXX
Jeroen - TEL-number: storage admin
xxxx - TEL-number: system admin
yyyy - TEL-number: manager
Vault location: yadayada street 1.
