Replacing Server - How to migrate TSM

[LukeLu]

You need to follow a specific order to delete those items:
1. delete path for drives
2. delete path for library
3. delete drive
4. delete library (even though devclass may still reference the library)
Here are the rules in order to delete storage pool, devclass
5. You can not delete a devclass if storage pool are defined to use the given devclass
6. You can not delete a storage pool if there are volumes in use are under that storage pool.
7. If you delete the volume from TSM database, you will not be able to perform restore should the volume is required for a restore request.

Thanks Luke,

Can I trouble you for the syntax as well? Please and thanks!

 

[LukeLu]

your best resource is the online help
help delete path
help delete devclass
help delete drive
help delete library

Basically, here are the command syntax
1. delete path source_name destination_name srct=server destt=drive library=
(but be aware other variation)
2. delete path source_name destination_name srct=server destt=library
3. delete devclass devclass_name
4. delete drive library_name drive_name
5. delete library library_name

thank you very much!

At my last DR practice, i almost got to work except I missed the devclass statemement. It was pointing to my old library name.

this time I will get it to work. thanks for your help.

As for devclass, you can use the update
update devclass devclass_name library=new_library_name
