Yes, it will require all the inactive files to come back. But, the DR vendor can provide enough disk. They cannot provide 30 tape drives. So with about 8 tape drives restoring the pool in about 18 hours (estimate for 5TB), we will then be able to do parallel restore of 180 servers.

How are you going to work this. Won't you be pulling back all your inactive files, and also won't you need huge amounts of disk "Seay, Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 05/24/2002 08:13:37 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: John Naylor/HAV/SSE) Subject: Using a Primary Disk Storage Pool as Staging for Disaster Recover y First I have a couple questions. Has anyone ever done this? Can the RESTORE STGPOOL command restore to a PRIMARY RANDOM DISK POOL? The reason I want to do this is we believe we can restore many servers simultatneously by doing this. The DR Vendor does not have enough SAN tape to meet our business requirement, but this type of architecture with about 4 gigabit connections to the clients might do the job. They appear to be able to do this. Paul D.
