Thanks Len
As far as moving the data off the backuppool prior to the restore of the db
etc, does that just mean doing a full migration to take? I assume it does
but am happy to ask again just to make sure :-)

Good Morning Farren
I am sure that you will get a number of good answers, but here are a few
points. I am sure I will be corrected for any faults in my logic. It been a
little while since I have had to move the tsm server to a new box and there
may be newer better thoughts.
When you create the space on the new server, you only have to create the
same or greater for the log and db volumes. You can use a new layout based
on your best thoughts for performance.
For the storage pools you might want to move all data off the disk storage
pool volumes before the move. Then you will not have do a restore of the
storage pools after the tsm server is restored on the new server. Otherwise
you will have to restore the disk storage pools after you restore your db
and have a running system. But for the restore of the db you do not need
your full operating size.
For the initial set up of the tape library and drives, you only need to
define one tape drive. After you restore the db, your old device
configuration will be in effect. Which means if it is different you will
have to delete and redefine the hardware to TSM.
You might want to look at the redbook for TSM DR.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Rebuilding a TSM Server ?
Hi all
*** TSM 5.1.6.2 on Solaris 2.7, moving to TSM 5.2.?.? on Solaris 2.9 ***
OK, I'm in the process of building a new replacement TSM server (Solaris).
When it's ready I will hopefully be able to turn the old machine off and
bring the new one up again with the same host name/tcp address and away
we'll all go.
I have already got the server ready, patched, IBMTape and lmcpd drivers
installed etc, so I'm about ready to move on to the TSM side of things.
The procedures that I assume I now need to go through are as follows.
Anything with a question mark is something I'm not sure about.
1) Install TSM - Done
2) Register necessary licenses
3) Define Tape/Library devices and paths for manual library ready
for restore.
4) Create device configuration file for above and add entry into the
dsmserv.opt file.
5) Copy volume history file from original server ?
6) Format Backuppool volume/s
7) Format Database volume/s
8) Format Log volume/s
Question re above: If for example my present database is 10GB and made up
of 5*2GB volumes, do I need to create the new volumes like for like or
could I just create one 10GB volume. i.e. is it only important to make sure
the necessary space is required and not the exact same volume layout. This
question goes for backuppool, log and database volumes.
9) Restore database with the DSMSERV RESTORE DB command and
utilizing the device config file pointed to by the dsmserv.opt file.
10) Alter the device configuration to change the library definition
from 'manual' to '349X' to take our 3494 library into account.
- also add the 'enable3590library yes' entry to the dsmserv.opt
file.
Does the above plan of action look about right or am I making it too
simple. Just wondering if I'm missing something important.
11) At this point I will be ready to upgrade the TSM Server install
from 5.1.6.2
Questions re above:
a) Is it necessary to run an auditdb prior to doing this?
b) What are peoples thoughts on the most stable 5.2 release to move
to?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
All the best
