Linux BMR

2008-05-29 Thread Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM
Hi *SM-ers! Our Linux guys are trying to find a way to do bare metal restores on Linux (Redhat) while using TSM. I was wondering how other companies have implemented this. I there a supported/documented way to do this? Thank you very much for any response in advance! Kindest regards, Eric van Loon

Eric, In our shop we made a custom bootable cd with linux and the tsm client on it. We compiled the kernel on this cd with as many drivers as possible to support a lot of hardware. When we do a bmr of a linux system we boot from this cd, create the needed partitions and filesystems and

Steve, Do you have the statement: CLUSTERDISKSONLY NO in your dsm.opt? This should allow you to see the mount points. Note that you will need to use a specific DOMAIN statement in conjunction with this option. This has been my experience with the 5.5 client. I did not see it on earlier

Look in the dsm.opt file, and see if it is using VSS to backup system state objects, as opposed to backing up system state as a filesystem-- See if you have snapshotproviderimage specified as none-- if so remove it. thanks! lisa -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager

A 3592 cartridge was removed from our 3584 by a CE some time ago. It may have been stuck in a drive. After that Operations lost the cartridge for some time, but recently found it. TSM had marked the volume UNAVAILABLE due to 1 write error, but the 3584 no longer lists it in its inventory. There

Hi I would suggest following .. 1). First remove it from TSM internal inventory by following since TSM thinks it still in library . checkout libvolume libraryname rem=no checklabel=no 2). Now run your checkin but make sure make it private. checkin libv libraryname search=bulk checkl=yes

Re: Returning 3592 w/o losing data

2008-05-29 Thread Wanda Prather
You are correct. Just check the tape back in to TSM as PRIVATE instead of scratch. In fact, TSM won't let you check it in as scratch, if there is still valid data on it. And there is nothing you can do *accidentally* to damage that data, or write over it. One of the best features of TSM IHMO!
