Hi all ,
  Completed Disaster Recovery Test successfully at Sungurad Philadelphia
yesterday.
i was   going through following steps , and encountered some problems ,
  I restored TSM database and log
  updated all  tapepool volumes as destroyed ,

loaded all copypool volumes in STk9710 , after this when i started restoring
oracle database
in actlog   TSM was asking to checkin volumes  A1234 .   this process was so
time consuming ,
if one has 100 copypool tapes , do they need to checkin first ? can`t TSM
checkin them as private ?
even if i am using DRM module , lot of steps i was doing manually , DRM scripts
only helps you to
1  format log and  DB volumes , restore database , register  license ,
but did not update any volumes as destroyed .. neither checkin process
Anyhow i started  at 8.00 .AM  and finished   by 3:00 AM ..  was using 10 DLT
drives
in STK9710 . out of 2 gone bad after sometime  : -)
