Uhmmm
with logmode normal you can't do a point in time restore ... just up to the
last db backup
have to use logmode rollforward to get to a specific time...
you need your devconfig so that you can get back to accessing the atl
easily...
get a startable tsm environment then do your dsmserv restoredb command(s)
if you want to go back to the most recent full backupdo
dsmserv restoredb vol=mostrecentfulldb dev=_______ commit=yes
or if you want to go forward to your most recent incremental db backup do a
dsmserv restoredb vol=mostrecentfulldb dev=_______ commit=no
dsmserv restoredb vol=incrdb dev=_______ commit=no
dsmserv restoredb vol=incrdb dev=_______ commit=no
until you hit your last/most recent incremental db backkup volser and then
use the commit=yes
dsmserv restoredb vol=incrdb dev=_______ commit=yes
this is ~roughly~ what you will want... if you are using logmode normal...

Please respond to
"ADSM: Dist Stor
Manager"
I am new to TSM so any help will be welcomed. We are in the process of
testing/documenting TSM in our lab getting TSM ready for an enterprise wide
rollout. I have run into a situation where the documentation I have on TSM
is a little vague or I have just been a slow learner. I need to do a TSM
Server restore to a point in time (log mode=normal) and all my data resides
on a STK 9730. This includes my devconfig, volhist, database & log backups
-
everything. I have done a bare metal restore of the OS (NT 4) plus loaded
all the code for TSM only I have not initialized + configured the server
for
fear that this will render my data on tape useless.
The documentation I have read mainly talks about commands that need to be
run but not the preparation that must be done up to this point for my
particular situation. Do I install/configure TSM as if it was a fresh
install then run these commands, except the tape labeling evolution that is
of course.
Can anyone point me to any documentation that might help? Can this be
accomplished without a DRM plan in place? I can easily rebuild this server
because it is in the lab but that does not help me in the event of a
catastrophic failure when it is rolled out to production, I am trying to
learn this product as much as possible before it goes prime time.
My environment is NT 4 SP 6
TSM 5.1.5.0
Thanks,
