Jawad,

like almost every application you may use HACMP and a lot of scripting
to make
your ADSM server HA on an AIX box. Here is another solution we
implemented for a
customer. customer has to data centers with one ADSM server on each
location.
all clients run two schedulers and back up to both ADSM servers
concurrently (I
know - a lot of data and network traffic, a lot of money for the WAN,
but the
customer likes it). So if one server goes down we just continue to
backup and
restore to the other one. BTW: customer uses the same "two independent
data
centers" concept for all applications, regardless whether they run on
OS/390,
AIX and NT.

Mit freundlichem Gruss/Best Regards

 Subject: High Availability with ADSM









Has anyone implemented a highly available ADSM solution.`What are the
general practices in this.

Even if you do allocate a separate server how does it work if the
primary one goes down.
Thanks.
