Hi *'SM Gurus ! A probably easy question for anybody involved in this kind of installation : we are planing to install HACMP between two AIX boxes, let's call them A and B. The A box is hosting an informix db, wich is doing it's online backups thru onbar, using it's own dsm.sys with hostname A. The B box is also hosting an informix db, wich also has it's own online backup, using it's own dsm.sys, hostname B. Imagine the A box fails : machine B will automatically relay it, and temporarily host the A informix db. Problem is as follows : what about a restoration of my informix db back to sytem A ? Probably a full level 0 backup was made at the time the db was on server A, but all intermediary logs (logical logs) have been made as my informix db was hosted on system B : how do I do a restore of my db if part of the files belong hostname A and other part hostname B ? Do I need to install two different instances of tsm on each node, to be able to do my restore ? Lots of questions in fact, and absolutely no idea how to do it ! :-(( I'm not an informix specialist nor HACMP, so please, if you give me some infos, try to be as basical as possible ;-) Many many thanks in advance to any informix-hacmp god(esss) willing to help me ! Arnaud
