Hi,
I did perfect a method on my AIX SP cluster, but I havent visited it for a while. 1. Use NIM to build a new rootvg, with TSM installed. ( it could be a tape image or rebuild from install media in your case) 2. Use alt_disk_install functionality to create an alternate rootvg 3. Use TSM to restore latest versions of / /var /usr etc to alternate filesystems 4. Boot from alternate filesystem 5. in the SP world, run a CUSTOMIZE on the node to get the ODM updated with node-specific SP stuff. Its not really all that difficult. The only bit that threw me was getting the SP Stuff to work. Regards Steve Harris AIX and TSM Admin >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 27/09/2002 4:57:27 >>> Has anyone tried to script a BMR solution for NT or AIX using tsm. Everyone keeps saying the Bare Metal Restore is just a bunch of scripts that access TSM but has anyone tried create those scripts themselves.
