I'm new to TSM and I'm practicing disaster recovery. I successfully performed a bare metal restore on AIX, I went from one "production" (B50) system to a different (H70) "backup" system, but I can't do the same with Windows NT. Here are some particulars.
All this work is for testing and education, so no emergency here. TSM 4.1.x The "production" system had a single DLT drive, I think it lived at mt6.0.0.2 or something. It was doing database/log backups to sequential files. I have the device config, volume history, database and log files from the original system. The "replacement" system has the same DLT drive, on a different controller, I think it is mt6.0.0.3 now. The replacement system also has a 4mm DAT drive at mt2.0.0.2 I've tried several different things to recover my volumes, none of them have worked. Now after a couple install/uninstalls of the TSM Server software, I have a mess in my service control panel that is preventing anything from running. What is the proper procedure for recovery to new hardware on NT? How do I clean up the mess in my registry?
