Re: TSM server recovery
Hi Wojciech. You need (obviously) to have hardware that can read the tapes. Then install a TSM server at 5.2.0.0 on the same OS platform as the original server. You will need to recreate the device configuration file. Then run dsmserv display dbbackupvolume against each tape, capture/print the output and from those tapes that contain a database backup, find the most current database backup that you can then use to restore the database. Details on dsmserv display dbbackupvolume are in the 5.2 Admin Reference book. Once the server database is restored and your server is operational again, you can then restore client data. This will take in my estimation about 15 minutes elapsed time per tape, so depending on the number of tapes, you may have a huge task at hand. This also underscores the value of having the Recovery Plan File (or equivalent information) stored with the tapes. Good luck.

Re: TSM server recovery
If you have 5.5 server now, look in the admin ref, Server Utilities chapter, for the command dsmserv display dbbackupvolume. It will let you quickly mount the tapes and tell you whether one of them is a DB backup. That command was available in 5.3 & 5.4, don't know about 5.2.

Re: TSM server recovery
I would install a server with the same OS as the old server, I would not care much about the OS version. Install 5.2.0.0 and test db restores tape by tape, which will take some time...

Re: TSM Server Recovery (AIX)
You can use the command mksbcd with the software TSM for System Backup and Recovery "aka SysBack" which will allow the user to create a full system bootable and installable system backup to CD/DVD devices using a ISO9660 (CD/DVD) or UDF (DVD) format. You can also include additional filesets (device drivers) which could be installed at the system restore. Once again you would not need to reinstall your TSM server code, it would be included in this system backup. The command used is called mksbcd which is similar to the AIX version called mkcd. The TSM version contains more functionality and is more flexible than the AIX version.

Re: TSM Server Recovery (AIX)
Stef, We also perform backups to a local 20GB 4mm tape. Our TSM server is a B80. That mksysb tape will not restore to a p650. From what I have been told and what I have read, I need to have a set of "install CDs" at the same OS-ML as the mksysb. Since I only have "install CDs" for 5200-01 and my mksysb is at 5200-03, I was unable to restore my TSM server from that mksysb until I found a spare B80 lying around (thank goodness our DR site vendor had one at that time, but there is no guarantee they will have one next time, or when we really need it) -- it's a long story as to how this happened. To be better prepared for every eventuality, I need to find a way to create "install CDs" at any OS-ML currently in use at our shop. Aaron (from a different reply), I have messed around with NIM mksysbs and the mkcd command quite a bit. Our TSM server is also our NIM server. Currently, it is only setup with an NFS exported mountpoint to which other AIX servers perform their mksysbs. Using the TSM server alone, I have not yet been able to create a mksysb CD or DVD image of another system that will boot and restore that system's rootvg. Realize, I still need to be able to restore those client mksysb images to potentially different hardware, as well, so I still need to have a way to create a bootable "install CD" image of the existing OS-ML. I hope that better explains what I am looking for.

We always backup the TSM server (AIX) on the local tape streamer. So we have a bootable mksysb tape that also contains the TSM db backup. For the other AIX servers we use nim to make backups. Nim allows you to make a mksysb to a nim master and stores the mksysb as a file on the nim master (this is also the TSM server). The AIX servers can boot from the nim master over the network and restore the mksysb. Stef

Re: TSM server recovery with database copy2 volumes
Hi Mubashir!- Yes, you should be OK if you lose filesystem A. If filesystem A dies, you should ge a message in the activity log showing the error, and TSM will just keep on running with the DB copy on filesystem B. If you have to restart the TSM server and it can't find filesystem A, it will still come up and run with only the copy on filesystem B. You don't have to do anything special. How does it work? Browse (DO NOT EDIT!) the dsmserv.dsk file in the TSM server directory. That is the file TSM reads when it comes up, to find it's DB and log files.
