Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Administrator's Guide
|There are two ways to move a Tivoli Storage Manager server to a new machine
|that is running the same operating system:
|
- |Back up the database, and restore it on another machine on which Tivoli
|Storage Manager is installed. The back up and restore method is
|described in this section.
- |Export the server to sequential media, and import the data to the new
|machine. See Chapter 22, Exporting and Importing Data for details. The export and import method may take
|longer than the back up and restore method.
|
|The prerequisites for the back up and restore method are:
|
- |The same operating system must be running on both machines.
- |The sequential storage pool must be accessible from both machines.
|You will have to move any libraries and devices from the original machine to
|the new machine or they must be accessible through a SAN.
- |The restore operation must be done by a Tivoli Storage Manager server at a
|code level that is the same as or later than that on the machine that was
|backed up.
- |Only manual and SCSI library types are supported for the restore
|operation.
|
|In the following example, the Tivoli Storage Manager server on machine A is
|moved to machine B.
|
|On machine A:
- |Migrate all disk storage pool data to sequential media. See Migration for Disk Storage Pools for details.
- |Perform a full database backup to sequential media.
|backup db devclass=8mm type=full
- |Copy the volume history file and the device configuration file.
|On machine B:
- |Install Tivoli Storage Manager.
- |Copy the volume history file and device configuration file to the new
|server.
- |Restore the database:
|dsmserv restore db devclass=8mm volumenames=vol001,vol002,vol002
