Restore Node to TestNode

[PaulaB]

Greetings Fellow TSM'rs



I would like to know if anyone can help me with the following??



I have just registered a new test node and would like to backup the live node and restore all data to the test node...is there any easy way of doing this??



Any help much appreciated...by the way the node is Linux86



Cheers, PaulaB

Paula,



Basicly you want to restore data from System A to System B.

I hope that both nodes are both Linux86.

Because you can not do cross platform restores. :-o



On the target system, you can issue the following.

dsmc -virtualnodename=<nodename of source>

You are going to be prompted for the password for the source system.

Once you enter the password, then issue your restore command.

restore <source file space> <target file space>



You could on the target system, in the dsm.sys file change the node name from

System B to System A. You are going to be prompted for System A node password, then run the restore command. Once the restore is done change the node name back to System B.
