Why wouldn't you use tape for the DB backup/restore. Seems like that would be faster and easier than using a remote server-server connection.
My reason for that was thus: In order to let the new server access the tapes for DB restore, I must let the new server access the tapes. :) I didn't want to let that happen at all, at all; so I stuck the backup on media which I could offer the new server without endangering the 'old' (i.e. still live production) server.
Another option is just halting TSM and rsyncing the db/log volumes over to the new location, assuming it is the same path on the new server.
Works for the final exercise, but not for testing. - Allen S. Rout
