You can alway's recover as long as you have the database backup. For a version 5 recovery it's as easy as;
* create a newly installed TSM instance. * create a fileclass device class that points to the same directory you will place your .dbv backup file in. * do a database backup to this fileclass * save device / volhist files. * halt tsm * copy your .dbv backup file to your new fileclass dir. * edit history files to point to your backup file. * run dsmserv restoredb For a version 6 recovery it's little bit more tricky with things like ; * use *exactly* the same server software version * create an instance like before with the fileclass * do a db backup * device/volhist backup * halt tsm * then drop the TSM database and loadformat instance. * dsmserv restoredb * use correct instance usernames / environment variables I think that's about it....did I forget something guy's, don't have much time today but still want to help out! :-) On Mon, Dec 26, 2011 at 6:54 PM, Mehdi Salehi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > - OS: AIX 6.1 > - mksysb of the operaring system exists > - no backup of TSM binaries, DB2 instance, etc. > - data on disk storage pool can be ignored. tape volumes contain main > backups > - .dbv backup of TSM database exists. > > Can this backup be restored to a newly installed TSM server? > > Thank you >
