Matt,
For restoring TSM database ,manually place the database volume in the
automated library and note the element no.
Where you placed the database volume , then update the comments in the
device configuration file. to identify location of those volumes.
for more information see : Admin Guide page 787 ,789.
your libraries elements nos. can be found on Tivoli`s web site

Shekar,
When you do the restore of the database with a 9710, how does TSM
know or find the location of the dbbackup volume inside the silo? Do you do
a manual type restore first with the tape in the drive or is TSM capable of
finding that volume inside the silo with the silo defined in the dev.conf
file?, even though it might not be in the same cell location when the last
dbbackup was done. I am getting ready to do a BRS test of our 9710
connected to an R50 via F/W Diff SCSI cards. Thanks

Hi all , going for firstever DR test at Sunguard ,
here is what i have collected for test .
1. mksysb tapes .
2. TSM database tapes , and all offsite (copypool tapes).
3. savevg of tsm (i have a volume group called tsm for tivoli)
4. disaster recovery plan file (hard copy and soft copy , sample awk script
to
break it down.)
5. ACSLS is configured on Sun so , for the same ufsdump tapes
6. AIX , SUn Slorais , and ACSLS , installation media .
7. out puts of lsvg, lsvg -l vgnames , df , lsdev- Cc disks , lsdev- Cc
tape,
lscfg , lsattr -El mem0 , lsps -a , lsattr -El en0.
same for the sun .out put of dsm.sys , dsm.opt ,dsmserv.opt I know
they
will be in rootvg ,but precaution is better than cure :-)
8. chapter 25 of Admin Guide .
9. medem configured on RS/6000 inhouse if any info regarding configuration
required from sungurad then can dial up and get it.
My plan .
1. Install AIX from mksysb .
2. create all volume groups , logical volumes and file systems. from output
of
all the commands in step 7
3. restore tsmvg from savevg .
4. confiure library , smitty devices , tapes etc..
5 copy recovery plan file from floppy to any directory , and break with awk
script
6. run each script
STK and ACSLS PART.
Install SUn from CD`S , install ACSLS in case ufsdump won`t work , have
taken
backup of ACSLS ,
connect STK9710 scsi cable to sun --probe -scsi -all
configure ACSLS , restore ACSLS backup (This i have tested in house it works
,
but have to test with STK9710 connected)
put all DRM in silo , and try restoring data .
where all you will suggest me changes with your experiance with Disaster
recovery . and where all you have faced problems .
what procedure is most time consuming ? so that i can prepare , having more
5
days .
any troubleshooting experiance?did i forgot something to take with me..
Thanks
Shekhar.
