We recently had our offsite/recover TSM server (RH Linux 6.4, TSM 6.3.4.200) go south. Something happened that caused DB2 to start crashing/dumping and subsequently completely filled the filesystem containing /home/tsminst1 directory. Since this was the root folder, the system tanked and is now unrecoverable. My OS guy says the root system seems to be corrupted and will probably require a complete OS reinstall.
However, the filesystems containing the TSM DB, LOG and ARCHLOG files all seem to be OK. Since this is an offsite, non-critical server that simply stored DB Snapshots of my other production TSM servers, nuking and rebuilding is not a big deal, mostly lots of busy-work. This could also give me the opportunity to install and play with 7.1. I would like to make this a "DR recovery" scenario/test. Since the DB is still there, can it be recovered from what remains, i.e. the /TSMDB, /TSMLOG, /TSMARCHLOG filesystems? -- *Zoltan Forray* TSM Software & Hardware Administrator Virginia Commonwealth University UCC/Office of Technology Services zfor...@vcu.edu - 804-828-4807 Don't be a phishing victim - VCU and other reputable organizations will never use email to request that you reply with your password, social security number or confidential personal information.
