Hi all. We are using TSM 5.1.6 to backup w2k nodes. These nodes are W2K server Domain controllers. We are testing full restores on other kind hardwre. We have been working on the Bare Metal restore Redbook. Our procedure was to: 1- Bring a new machine with different hardware, same IP, same nodename 5Ip could be different), with W2K server and TSM client 5.16 pre-installed, 2- Restore the whole machine on the new one, except systemobjects, 3- Reboot the new server, in AD reconstruction mode, 4- Restore the systemobjects, 5- Reboot.
Unfortunately, we are not able to restore the systemobjects in the 4th step. TSm don't even allow us to do it. Object ID problem?? Anyone has been able to test a full restore for w2k servers using different hardware, even same hardware? The problem using different hardware versus same hardware should be HAL compatibility slice, shouldn't it? This is solved when using Ntbackup (merge some registry entries related to hardware specifications). Therefore we are trying to get rid of it too with TSM... Magalie Siaud.
