Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000
I have a TSM server located on an IBM SP Node (winterhawk) and would like to recover to a standalone RS/6000 (H80). Do anyone have/know of a procedure or have suggestions?

Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000
Here is what I need to accomplish or would like to. Create a mksysb of the SP Node, copy the image to media. At the recovery site, I will need to restore this image to the standalone rs6000. I do not know if this is possible even if I use the cloning process. -Original Message- From: PINNI, BALANAND (SBCSI) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 12:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000 Connect to node and say shutdown -m -Original Message- From: Jolley, Bill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 10:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000 I have a TSM server located on an IBM SP Node (winterhawk) and would like to recover to a standalone RS/6000 (H80).

Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000
No, I do not have a tape drive attached to the SP node. I have introduced AIX sysback as an alternative. Several colleagues stated that you could boot from cdrom and use the image on tape as input and basically I am restored. I disagreed. But thanks. Sysback appears to be much easier than jumping through hoops. -Original Message- From: David Longo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 1:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000 Do you have a tape drive physically attached to the SP node?

Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000
I was told that sysback would recognize the hardware and not install the PSSP stuff. Well, the customer I support fail to ask for input, and subscribed to all standalones. This is the only SP server that needs to be recovered. It is a limited DR test. -Original Message- From: Kauffman, Tom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 3:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000 It's been a while since my SP frames went away, so take this with a grain of salt - - At one point, sysback could not be used to 'clone' an AIX system; you needed a mksysb image (and the install cd). I don't know if this has changed. I do know from experience that the system you will be restoring to at the hotsite won't match your contract spec (it will be at least as good as, and possibly better -- like no 10 Mb ethernet, just 10/100 Mb, with different device drivers). Also, with no CWS, you'll need to research how to disable most of the PSSP code on the node. Code that, among other things, does a node lookup in the SDR (on the CWS) to get the IP addresses for your network connections. This may take some doing (my experience ends at PSSP 3.2). Is this the ONLY SP node you need to recover? Or is this a case of our recovery site doesn't have an SP? I've done stand-alone recoveries and SP recoveries, but I've never tried to do a crossover like this.

For all those concerned about the upgrade I must say it was quite easy. Since I'm on AIX I can't speak for the other OS's. My 3494 did have old Atape drivers so I had to update those, and while I was at it I updated atldd drivers too. I have not had any problems, I know it's only been a week. Hopefully things will remain this way and all I'll need is some maintenance patches to fix bugs. I know we've had a lot of complaints about this, and it may well be deserved, but if you think about it nobody has a perfect product out of the box and software always has bugs...that's life I can't very well point fingers, I'm not a programmer and have enough problems just trying to learn it all I'd be glad to share a document I have with the steps I followed to anyone who'd like it.

If you are moving from an AIX system to another AIX system (I don't know what a Nighthawk is except in the ornithological sense), you can simple restore the database from one of the systems to the new system.

I would then register the clients from the other system on the new system, change their options files to point to the new server and let them do their full backup again. You won't have any of the old data on the new system, but you will have all the new. How to get the old? Two ways: keep the old server around until all the data expires or export the client data and import it on the new server. Number one is much easier. Export/Import can be a lengthy process. You can also "keep the old server around" by installing a second instance of the server on the new system. Lots of things to consider if you choose this, but it will work. If you are moving from one OS to another, you can only do the export/import. You cannot restore the TSM database backup taken from one OS to another. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

You don't run the TDP agent by itself; you run RMAN, and it invokes the TDP agent via an API call. What the TDP agent does is sort of make ADSM look like a funky alternative tape driver from RMAN's point of view. But instead of going to a local tape drive, the data goes over the network to ADSM. As far as I know, your user can STILL specify that RMAN send data to the local tape drives, or to ADSM, according to which output destination he selects when he runs RMAN. (And since he will be running the same RMAN interface he is used to, he should feel pretty comfortable using it.) (I'm speaking from Oracle on AIX here, don't have any experience with Oracle on NT.) Might be worth getting he a trial copy to play with. Has the added benefit of letting you do backups while the DB is open, which eliminates all your scripting hassles with shutting the DB's down.

Here are some of the most important demands and concerns my user have: 1. Before backup starts, ensure the machine to be backed up is active. 2. Prior backup, shutdown databases and have an indicator flag or return status code indicating failure or successful of the shutdown. 3. The flag indicator or return code would be use to proceed with the backup process or stop the backup process and inform Operations. 4. Ability to page, email or both to inform someone about backup results. 5. The backup process should also provide a return code to proceed or stop the process 6. After the backup process completes successful, bring online database and return a condition code indicating the status of the database. The database must be available the next morning. 7. Backup process should produce a report of backed up files or files that failed the backup. This information would be used by the on-call programmer to troubleshoot the problem and should be available in a single report and if possible accessible by remote access (Internet or other means). 8. Operations department should be the centralized location for initiating the backup process and information related to backups. Currently my user have a backup procedure based on MVS TSO meeting most of their backup requirements but is affecting the ADSM server due to the high number of queries needed to monitor the status of the backups (see step3 below). Following is the description of their current backup procedure. Step1. Ping the physical machine. This step is to ensure the machine is active before further actions are taken. If IP or the machine is not accessible, the job step fails and no further action is taken. Step2. Connect to the Oracle server to bring down the application. Connect to the application via an Oracle agent. The instance is brought down once, brought up and brought down again to ensure the instance would not have problems at bring up. A return code other than zero would prevent further actions on this machine. The reason for using this procedure instead of the pre/post-schedule ADSM commands is because the script used for bringing down the databases could not confirm the status of the database. There was no indication if the database was down or not. ADSM executed the script commands and continued with the backup process even if the script procedure failed. Step3. Backup databases using In-house written interface program. This code was written part Assembler and COBOL and runs under TSO and in TEST mode. The program performs the following sequence of actions. a. Logs on to ADSM server as Administrator using TSO Admin client b. Defines an immediate schedule for the client using the DEFINE CLIENTA command to Archive the database files. c. Queries the server every X number of minutes to find out the status of the schedule d. At end of the schedule, queries ADSM Event logs for additional information and returns a status condition code. e. Returns condition code for
