BRM Question
All, We just had a meeting with our support people for TSM, regarding finishing the project we have. To cut things short, one of the options we required was Bare Metal Restore of NT and Unix servers. Our TSM server sits on an NT server. We were just informed (and this is what I want to ask about) that the BRM server (TSM) module, does not operate if the TSM server is on an NT server. (As I understand from their explanation, there is the TSM server side module and the client module). So in effect, we cannot impliment BRM due to this factor. Does anyone know if this is true ?

Re: BRM Question
I thought he may be refering to the new and improved BMR from the Kernel Group. We are going to be looking at this shortly. The old BMR restore where you had to boot with an OS/2 diskette was not something we used. -Original Message- From: Serein, Gilbert Claudio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 9:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: BRM Question Hi Mike, my TSM server runs on NT and I've done BMR's to NT servers Without any problems.

Re: BRM Question
I believe the BMR server is only supported on an HP, AIX, or Solaris platform (Unix). You will need a Unix machine to support BMR.

Re: BRM Question
Mike, This is NOT true. While it is true that the Bare Metal Restore Main Server must sit on a UNIX machine (AIX, Solaris, or HP), it does not matter to BMR what type of platform is used for the TSM server - so long as TCP/IP communications are used between the BMR Server and the TSM server, and the TSM Clients and the TSM server. There is a FAQ available for BMR, as well as other documentation on the TKG website: http://www.tkg.com/bmr/tsm.

Does BMR support Win2000? Rob Famous Footwear
Re: BRM Question
Ray, The terminolagy then is wrong as per what they explained, but I am still left in a situation when I need an additional UNIX based machine for the BMR main server. Do you have plans to bring out a version that sits on an NT machine, so that I will not need to include another OS in my backup server cluster ? I really can't go to management and sell this to them.

Re: BRM Question
BMR looks like a decent product, but the one thing that I didn't see any mention of in the product documentation is what happens if you have a total data center disaster? Everything assumes that you have the BMR server on the network and working correctly, but in a data center disaster that server would be gone as well. Disaster Recovery Manager would take care of restoring your TSM server, but how does one handle recovering the BMR server?

Re: BRM Question
It will - in early August the next version of BMR will be released and will support Windows 2000.

Re: BRM Question
Mike, The BMR Server currently will not run on an NT machine. There are inexpensive UNIX boxes on the market that will easily hold a BMR Server, so this might be a vaible option yet. While porting the BMR Server to Windows NT (or 2000) is in our product plan, we have not yet set a release date for it. The requirements of our customers and potential customers are always important to us.
