AW: [ADSM-L] Linux BMR
Hi, at http://www.mkcdrec.org/ you can find such a tool that restores data using the TSM client. I haven't done it myself but know an IBMer and a company who have more knowledge than I have.

We compiled the kernel on this cd with as many drivers as possible to support a lot of hardware. When we do a bmr of a linux system we boot from this cd, create the needed partitions and filesystems and mount them on a temp. mountpoint. Then we restore these filesystems from TSM. Then you can chroot into the new environment to install the bootloader and change any mount options and so on. (if you go from softwareraid to scsi for example). You can also recreate your initrd file here to include any modules you need for boot. I also heard from people who use a "standard" linux boot cd (like knoppix) and then nfs mount a filesystem with the TSM clients binaries in it. We have used this method many times and it has been proven to work well, we also use it to migrate linux boxes to vmware.

Hi *SM-ers! Our Linux guys are trying to find a way to do bare metal restores on Linux (Redhat) while using TSM. I was wondering how other companies have implemented this.
