Anyone with some input would be greatly appreciated. Here is my set up and my 
issue at hand. Currently we are using server-server communication with 
vaulting. Main location is a blade hs21 with fiber attached SAN storage running 
win server 2003 r2 with TSM extended edition 5.5.3. Second location which also 
runs the same set is appx 5 miles away.  I use vaulting to house a copy or what 
i call archive pool at my second location by running the command backup stgpool 
secondarypool archivepool. This backs up my primary or active pool to my 
archive pool for dr recovery. Here is my issue. I am in the process of a dr 
restore of my main server at my primary location and I am stuck on restoring 
the database. From source to target i have replicated my dsmserv.opt, volhist, 
devconfig, .dsk and dr plan as well as dbsnapshot and incrementals of my db. 
They are robocopied over for dr purposes every day.  Here is what I have done 
so far with a bare metal restore of my original server. I have installed and 
restored win 2003 r2 with all updates. Installed tsm management console, tsm, 
licenses, device drivers, baclient and isc/admin console.  Please correct me if 
i am wrong since I am no tsm expert.  I have moved over all necessary files 
dsmserv.opt, volhist, devconfig, .dsk and dr plan to the new DR server.  My 
question is where do i go from here to test a db restore. Do i have to set up 
server -server communication between each server?  I believe on the new dr 
server you would define the target with define server servername pass=admin 
hla=ip nodename?
Than you would do this on the target server as well?  If that is the case here 
is my problem. After defining the target on the new dr test server I can not 
define the dr test server on the target server. When i open up the dsmadmc on 
the target it will not let me login. It prompts me to enter the id which i 
enter admin and than i get a session rejected tcp/ip. Is this due to the target 
still pointing to the old ip address of the original source server? I open up 
the devcnfg on the target and it points to the originals source servers 
address. Would i just change this to the new address of the dr test server? 
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be great. I tested changing the target to 
point to the new dr server by address and name but was a no go.
thanks,
