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).

Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000
You will want to use the CDROM to boot from, that saves you having to put the required code that is needed for your "disaster" machine on your current SP node. How that works is (briefly): Boot from CDROM, get to where it says something like "System Recovery" or Recover from mksysb tape - It's been a while since I've done it. At the point where you select the tape device, THEN insert the mksysb tape in drive and continue. What happens is it restores mksysb and at point where you need certain code (like uniprocessor code on a uniprocessor machine and your original machine was MP) then it pulls that code off the CDROM. This means you can take a mksysb tape from any RS/6000 or and restore to any other RS/6000, regardless of processor class or hardware. Important point to mention is that the CDROM has to be at same OS level as the mksysb tape - the original machine! You can spend time figuring what filesets would be needed for target machine and install them on current machine, but this takes detailed examination and you can miss something. And the machine you restore to in a disaster may not be what you had planned on etc. etc. BTW: For rebuilding an AIX machine, the TSM backup is not enough, you need a mksysb tape (or if restoring an SP node, the image on the Control Workstation) to do base restore first. Or a 3rd party product like Bare Metal Restore from The Kernel Group I think does this without a mksysb tape. Hope this helps some. David B.

Re: Recovering SP node to Standalone RS6000
Hot Diggety! Jolley, Bill was rumored to have written: > 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? Offhand, best bet is probably to do a mksysb backup (making sure that device drivers for both boxes exists, among other key gotchas) and then a mksysb install from that image. You can't just do a normal file backup and then restore because there are a bunch of system specific stuff such as the ODM entries, installed filesets, etc. Even more critical to get it right when SP and non-SP is concerned. I haven't personally done that with our SP and non-SP nodes as you describe, so that's about all I can suggest from what I've heard from others who has done similar things in the past. It's usually done as a way to recover from a total SP node system failure, rather than migrating to or from the SP, though. -Dan Foster IP Systems Engineering (IPSE) Global Crossing Telecommunications
