[ADSM-L] convert standalone server to library client?
2010-06-09 15:12:13
Can a standalone TSM server be re-configured to be a Library Client? We are
not using library sharing on our 3584 ATLs now. Our TSM servers are at version
5.5.4.1 on RHEL 5.
We have server to server communications setup between two Data Centers. So, the
offsite Copypools are on the local 3584. Offsite database backups are also
written to the onsite ATL.
My purpose in converting the standalone server to a Library Client would be to
use library sharing in a Disaster Recovery. One Library Client would be the
current onsite server. The other Library Client would be a standby clone of the
offsite TSM server. Ordinarily, it would not be running. If the offsite Data
Center were lost, I could restore the database of the offsite server to the
second onsite library client.Then, it could share the local tape drives to
restore offsite clients rebuilt locally.
The stumbling block seems to be that tape volumes must be checked-in to the
Library Manager. There already are several hundred tape volumes in private
status on both standalone servers. How would I tell a new Library Manager that
those tape volumes were owned by the new Library Client?
If there is a way to convert a standalone TSM server to a Library Client, I
would be grateful to hear of it. If this idea looks like Swiss cheese, and
smells like Limburger I would like to know that too.
With my thanks and best wishes,
