I'm testing our DR process for Tivoli 7.1. I've been able to successfully restore my database from a full backup copy (DBB) which had been saved to my DBDUMP device class, which is on disk. I now want to perform the restore from my DB snapshot (DBS), which lives on LTO6 tape. After running DSMSERV to remove the existing database instance, I issue DSMSERV -i xxxxx RESTORE DB SOURCE=DBS. Now keep in mind, I have the DBS tape retrieved from the off-site vault location and loaded into the new tape library. DSMSERV spits out the following:

ANR7800I DSMSERV generated at 12:25:00 on Nov 11 2013.

===============================================================================

How do I instruct DSMSERV where to find the tape? I'm not able to perform a volume check-in like I would do to restore a storage pool because I don't have a database yet. The log demonstrates that DSMSERV wants tape B00019L6 and found it loaded into tape drive RMT2, moved it to an open element slot, then says it can't find the tape. No luck finding any other documentation to explain this. Any assistance is most appreciated.

Hi,

although I did not test with TSM 7.1 and Linux I do not expect it to be different from previous versions. The location of the tape was always specified in the devconfig.out file (which was referenced by dsmserv.opt)
Code:
...
DEFINE DRIVE LIBR1 LTO5DRV2 ELEMENT=2113 ONLINE=Yes WWN="xxxxx" SERIAL="yyyy"
/* LIBRARYINVENTORY SCSI LIBR1 ABC001L4 484 101*/
...

Hope it helps

Harry

Duh. It dawned on me after I submitted the post. Thanks for taking the time to reply Harry. I appreciate it.
