2003-12-03 Thread Gill, Geoffrey L.
Hello all, I can't answer this question because I have never had to use a point in time restore function. It seems as though over the weekend a SAN controller upgrade has led to whole file systems lost and parts of others on a node. The person responsible wants to restore only those files that wer

Assuming you have an on-site primary tapepool and maintain an off-site copypool, this option identifies the primary pool tapes, but not copypool tapes. However, the copypool tapes are the ones which should be used in DR testing. Kent Monthei GlaxoSmithKline "Adam Boyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Depending on your TSM server level, you could MOVE NODEDATA the client(s) to a separate pool and take those tapes. If you don't want to take the primary copy, then create a copypool and BA STGPOOL and take the copypool tapes. Bill Boyer DSS, Inc. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor

That's what we end up doing -- if it's off-site it goes in the bag and off to the hot site.

Hi Brian, There is one other option, one that I believe I saw posted some time ago in this list. If you're only after a few machines, and the scope of the restore is limited, you can try the following: At the client in question, add the line TAPEPrompt Yes to the dsm.opt file. Then go through
