In this case what you do is
        1) bring up yout tsm environment
        2) put all your copypool tapes into the atl
        3) check them all in
        4) do an "UPD VOL * ACC=UNAVAIL WHERESTG=yourprimarypool"
                might need to make that acc=destroyed...
then any restore request that comes in will automatically pull the info from
the copypool volume
won't technically need to restore the primary pools... ;-)

PS a 10GB db won't be very bad on a restore...
        an hour or so... and you will spend more time than that putting the
tapes into an atl !

Subject: Disaster Recovery...Has anyone really successfully done
testing?


Good Morning All....

We are running TSM on OS/390 (Version 4.1.4).  We have approximately 200
NT/UNIX/NETWARE servers and are backing our daily incremental stgpools
to copypools for offsite storage.

It appears the copypools don't just keep the active versions of data,
they keep everything....we currently have 190+  Storage Tek 9840s
offsite for TSM.  If we go to the hotsite to do Disaster Recovery
Testing, how do we restore these storage pools in a reasonable amount of
time?  Has anyone successfully performed Disaster Recovery?

Our TSM database is 10GB so, I'm also guessing it will take quite a
while to get that restored???  Any ideas, thoughts?

Is anyone using Backupsets instead of copypools for DR?

Thanks!!
