Subject: Re: BMR TSM restore of W2K client
The Redbook was written with 4.1.2 client as a reference so there may be a
few changes on your version:
To change the options mentioned, do so before you click the restore tab.
Later versions of the client no longer prompt (11b) when restoring the
system object.
I've noticed the system file protection messages a few times and ignored
them!
See MS Knowledge base article Q124550 regarding the missing or corrupt
ntoskrnl.exe.
(http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q124550)
This could happen if there are a different # of partitions or in different
order (check boot.ini to see if pointing to proper partition). I'm not
familiar with Dells - do they have a system partition - if so was it set
up?
I've seen this on NT once where it failed to boot, we booted with an
external partition, ran a defrag and then it could boot - it might have
been
explaned by method 3 in the ms article.

Subject: BMR TSM restore of W2K client
This is from a co-worker doing some DR testing, in this case, restoring a
W2K box, essentially doing BMR........
****************************************************************************
**************************
I am trying to recreate the restore procedures in the IBM redbook
"Deploying Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows 2000".
The procedure is outlined in the redbook indicated in chapter 6, starting
on page 96.
I am using a Dell, with Raid-5, Windows 2000 advanced server with all
recent service packs.
Server is part of workgroup, not a domain controller. Not in an AD
environment.
TSM 4.2.1.32 client for Windows 2000
I have built a test box, done several backups during the build to mimic a
production server that changes over time.
Wiped partition and recreated new RAID-5 partition with primary and
logical drives
The procedure follows as indicated
hardware set up
install same OS
install service packs
Ensure connectivity with TSM server
Recreate drive partitions
Install and configure TSM
Run TSM
Check consistency of system object
Start TSM and select the restore tab ** At this point in the documentation
there is a tip to change a setting in Edit / Preferences / General. The
setting for Preferences is grayed out, and this tip therefore cannot be
followed
Restore the boot partition (parts a-e followed verbatim, including the no
reboot indication)
Restore the system object.
This is where it gets odd. I am prompted for the Windows 2000 CD with the
error message "Windows File Protection - files that are required for
Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To
maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original version of
these files. Insert your Windows 2000 Advanced server CD now". I have
tried both the Cancel and inserting the CD with the same results
Also, the 3 prompts indicated in 11b (during the restore process) are not
displayed
Restart the system. When the system restarts, message is "<win2000
root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupt" and the OS does not
start as this is an essential file.The ntoskrnl is in the directory
indicated.
I have tried this several times with the same results.
I am obviously missing something in the procedure, but do not know where
this goes awry. Any help is appreciated.
