Hi all,

I need some urgent advise. One of our customers had one of their remote TSM servers destroyed in last month's earth quake. Unfortunately there was no proper DRM procedure setup and the database and volhist were missing.

They are using virtual volumes though and I found all the virtual volume names this server is using in the database. I rebuild the server and restored the connection to the main TSM server.

Now I am facing the challenge of restoring these virtual volumes. I tried redefining them and I was hoping that TSM would recognize them. Didn't work. I tried importing them with the import server command. But I get the error message that the volumes aren't mounted.

I found that there where a few database backups as virtual volumes, and I would love to be able to restore those. But I first need to get this back.

Hope someone got an idea!

Cheers,

Aris
 
Was the remote server a standalone server and the connection to the main server is just a server definition on the main server?
