The last D/R test we did last year had 340+ DLT tapes -- and we don't have an atl on the D/R contract, just free-standing drives.
1) restore the TSM environment (os, filesystems, any other cruft required) 2) recover/re-key the device config file to match the D/R site (we keep a copy on floppy) 3) recover the volhist (same floppy) 4) restore the TSM database from the backup tape (our 6 GB took about 30 minutes from DLT) 5) start up TSM 6) update the device config in the TSM database to match changes in step 2 7) update vol * acce=unav whereaccess=reado,readw (marks all tapes unavailable if they were in the library) 8) update vol * acce=reado whereacce=of (marks all the off-site tapes readonly) 9) run your restores from the readonly copypool tapes. Depending on your D/R goals, this may be good enough. You may have a storage pool or two you'll want to recreate from the copies Tom Kauffman NIBCO Inc > -----Original Message----- > From: Cinda Mullen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 10:37 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Disaster Recovery...Has anyone really successfully done > testing? > > > Good Morning All.... > > We are running TSM on OS/390 (Version 4.1.4).
