We are running TSM server 5.4.5.2 on Win32 and would like to use the PREPARE process to store the DR plan files offsite, this would also enable me to take advantage of the version control as detailed in the DRMSTAT configuration.
I have two servers which I will call server A and server B, each are in different geographical locations and backup their system drive and state to each other. This means that obviously server A has a node registered for Server B of the type "client" and vice-versa. When I try to run the prepare process using a device class of server it fails because the node on the remote server is of the type "client" instead of "server". I would like to be able to schedule both processes, backups as well as DR plan offsiting. Will the backups continue to run properly if I change the client type to "server"? I didn't want to try it without querying the list as the client does have historical data stored for the clients. If anyone else has ran up against this issue feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks, R. Adamson Jacksonville, Fl.
