Hi all, I have 2 questions on this: If you only got the virtual volumes because the primary place ( library+tsm-server) ist completely destroyed ... but you got the tsm-db recreated on some box -> you will have access to the data through the virtual volumes. question1: can the recreation of the primary data only be done using the same Hardware - same library , same drives ? If the answer is yes : is there a technical reason ? if no: why should the primary pool not be recreated on an alternative remote-tsm-server, just using virtual volumes of that server ? I thought virtual volumes on remote server could be used for primary-pools ?
