I would install a server with the same OS as the old server, I would not care much about the OS version. Install 5.2.0.0 and test db restores tape by tape, which will take some time...
A couple of weeks ago the list discussed utilities to read TSM tapes, maybe a bad or good choice.. Search the list archives. //Henrik -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Wojciech Zukowski Sent: den 16 juni 2009 11:08 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM server recovery Hi, I've got some old tapes, from non-existing TSM server. The server was decommisioned 5 years ago. I don't know the hardware. Library was LTO SCSI with two drives. TSM server and client were 5.2.0.0. I don't know if there is a database on tape, there is no devconfig and volhistory. Is it possible to recover the server and restore data? -- Wojciech Zukowski Gdansk, PL ------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended for the addressee only.
