I've gone through a bare-metal-restore of an NT server.
I've had to restore it from a separate partition, without
the need of a repair disk (that's the goal).
You may follow the instructions in that red book:
"SG24-2231-00 Windows NT Backup and Recovery with ADSM"
Everything is clear and that's the one I used to restore
the system. Note that TSM client GUI (if you happen to
use it) cannot restore all NT system objects (registry,
eent log, Active Directory, COM+, aso) at one time although
it gives no error. You'll have to select on object type at
a time.
Also note it is safer to make a copy of the C:\BOOT.INI
AFTER you have installed an NT system on the repair
partition. In cases the boot disk is the same for both the
restored and the repair systems, this allows you to boot
the repair system from a diskette if the restored one
crashes. Create an NT boot diskette by formatting it under
NT and copying the NTDETECT, NTLDR and (optionnally) the
NTBOTTDD (.SYS) files on that diskette.
Take a look at www.redbooks.ibm.com for AIX.

Vince

Objet : How to Restore crashed Nt /AIX server.?
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.
