Hi I need some assistance as I have a problem attempting to Restore TSM DB to our Test AIX Server. To set the scene, we have two Production AIX TSM Servers each attached to IBM3494 libraries, each at a different location. The TEST AIX Server has NO TAPE connectivity. Previously we have run a DB Backup using Virtual Volumes from TSM A to TSMB, and then successfully restored to TEST TSM using the TSMB located Virtual Volumes (using on TSM TEST copies of the device configuration & volume history from TSMA).
Now this worked okay in 4.2.3.0 server. We are currently at 4.2.3.2 on all three AIX TSM's, and are about to upgrade to 5.1.6 and were in the process of refreshing the TEST TSM DB using the above method PRIOR to the upgrade. However, I see this problem : (Command issued was : dsmserv restore db tod=06/29/2003) ANR0900I Processing options file dsmserv.opt. ANR8200I TCP/IP driver ready for connection with clients on port 1500. ANR0200I Recovery log assigned capacity is 10000 megabytes. ANR0201I Database assigned capacity is 40000 megabytes. ANR4621I Database backup device class DEV_TSMDCA. ANR4622I Volume 1: TSM_DCA.DBB.056841428. ANR4622I Volume 2: TSM_DCA.DBB.056842284. ANR4622I Volume 3: TSM_DCA.DBB.056843053. ANR4622I Volume 4: TSM_DCA.DBB.056843772. ANR4622I Volume 5: TSM_DCA.DBB.056844426. ANR4632I Starting point-in-time database restore (no commit). ANR8340I SERVER volume TSM_DCA.DBB.056841428 mounted. ANR9999D pvrserv.c(661): ThreadId<43> Error positioning SERVER volume TSM_DCA.DBB.056841428 to 1:0. ANR9999D icrest.c(2076): ThreadId<0> Rc=30 reading header record. ANR2032E RESTORE DB: Command failed - internal server error detected. Problem is having formatted the TEST TSM DB & Log, that server is currently dead and I need to refresh the DB. I have seen some threads on ADSMORG regarding tape libraries and using manual mode, but do not think this applies here as I am going server to server. Can anyone help?
