I have a user running TSM 5.4 on a single Windows XP server. This user experienced a server crash but after a week of trying was unable to get TSM running again with the existing database. Error messages indicated that the database experienced corruption, and after getting those errors TSM would not restart. So, in order to get backups done, he recreated the nodes and began what amounted to a new backup system with a fresh database.
He still has a copy of the old database. What's the likelihood, if that database can be repaired, of merging the contents into the existing production database? I can't see how this could be done, but am trying to cover all possibilities. The server name is the same, the IP address is the same and the tape library is the same, and have the same names.
