Hi all
I am using TSM3.7 .2  on AIX 4.3.3. installed on H-70.
my client includes , SUN , AIX servers, NEtware servers, HP servers, and
finally NT servrs.
now i am usharing IBM SHARK 2105 unit as a comman storage unit for all. i have
configured same setup for disaster rrecovery purpose .
now i am having NT server (compaq ), with internal raid5 array, and allocated
30gig for testing purpose from SHARK.
the task i want to perform is ,to show my manager , that TSM can restore  a
crashed server. and database also.
and then they will decide weather to go for veritas or TSM . as we are in
process to buy another  TSM server, and configure it as a stanalone server.
now how do you restore the crashed NT srever.
the steps i know are:
1. Install NT from cd .(while installing insert REPAIR DISK so that it can
restore registry)
2. install client code .
3. connect  TSM server, and using web based client   http:///hostname:1581
say backup choose files and restore.
is that correct or any other procedure is there?

I am doing same thing with AIX , restoring from  ' mksysb '  and install client
code connect and restore .

but  have anybody gone thorough these procedures? does it work?

pls. let me know.
