Re: Restore filesystem to directory on AIX-client

[Zig Zag]

Don't know if this was mentioned.

You can add additional stanzas in your dsm.sys file to
connect to the server as the (retired) server .
You will need to reset the password for the
clientnode, and admin account for that node at the
Server.
at the command line ;
dsmc -se=retirednodename
give the password
then you can set access to give the inusetoday node
access to the retired node's data.
The neat thing is you can break it down to the file
owner and or the filesystem.

Do a dsmc help, and look for SET ACCESS in the menu,
it varies thru version levels/releases.

Subject:Restore filesystem to directory on AIX-client

Hello,

Server AIX 4.2.x , Client AIX 4.2.1.x

Long time ago we back-up AIX-client file-systems from one particular
client,
like /home, /usr, /u01, /u02 and so on. The system was out of service for
a
few months and now back in business. The last active versions are still on
our TSM-server and we like to restore them (for some reasons) to a
directory
on another machine.

We want to restore to file-system '/tsm_archive' to directory
'/node_archive'. We start the restore of the above-mentioned file-systems
to
the following location:  /tsm_archive/node_archive and like to restore the
complete path.

We tried several ways but every session is restoring the files in /home,
/usr and so on to /tsm_archive/node_archive, but without directory /home,
/usr and so on. Sub-directories are restored in the right way. I guess it
have to deal with the fact that /home, /usr, /u01 and so on were
file-systems once and now we like to 'see' it as a directory. I accept it,
but is there a sneaky way to restore the file-system to a directory and
preserve the original structure.

Thanks,

Brian.
