The Disaster Recovery Plan File

The disaster recovery plan file contains the information required to recover a TSM server to the point in time represented by the last database backup operation that is completed before the plan is created. The plan is organized into stanzas, which you can break out into multiple files.

Breaking Out a Disaster Recovery Plan File

You can use an awk script or an editor to break out the stanzas into individual files. A sample procedure, planexpl.awk.smp, is shipped with DRM and is located in /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin or wherever the server resides. You can modify this procedure for your installation. Store a copy of the procedure offsite for recovery.

Structure of the Disaster Recovery Plan File

The disaster recovery plan is divided into the following types of stanzas:

Command stanzas
Consist of scripts (for example, batch programs or batch files) and TSM macros. You can view, print, and update these stanzas, and run them during recovery.
Note:
The RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE and RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE stanzas contain the commands that invoke the scripts and macros contained in the other stanzas.

Instruction stanzas
Consist of recovery instructions specific to your site. You can view, print, and update these stanzas, and use them during recovery.

Server requirements stanzas
Include the database and recovery log requirements, device and volume requirements, and license information. You can view and print these stanzas, and use them during recovery.

Configuration file stanzas
Consist of the volume history, device configuration, and server options files.

Machine and recovery media stanzas
Consist of machine recovery instructions and information about machine hardware, software, and recovery media. You can print and update these stanzas, and use them during server recovery.

Table 35 lists the recovery plan file stanzas, and indicates what type of administrative processing is required during set up, routine operations, and disaster recovery. The table also indicates whether the stanza contains a macro, a script, or a configuration file.

Note:
For tasks identified as During setup or periodic updates, DRM automatically collects this information for the plan.

Server Requirements Stanza

SERVER.REQUIREMENTS

Identifies the database and recovery log storage requirements for the server. The replacement server must have enough disk space to install the database and recovery log volumes. This stanza also identifies the directory where the server executable resided when the server was started. If the server executable is in a different directory on the replacement server, edit the plan file to account for this change.

If you use links to the server executable file, you must create the links on the replacement machine or modify the following plan file stanzas:

Contains instructions that the administrator has entered in the file identified by prefix RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.STGPOOL. The instructions should include the names of your software applications and the copy storage pool names containing the backup of these applications. No sample of this stanza is provided.

Volume and Device Requirements Stanzas

RECOVERY.VOLUMES.REQUIRED

Provides a list of the database backup and copy storage pool volumes required to recover the server. This list can include both virtual volumes and nonvirtual volumes. A database backup volume is included if it is part of the most recent database backup series. A copy storage pool volume is included if it is not empty and not marked destroyed.

If you are using a nonvirtual volume environment and issuing the MOVE DRMEDIA command, a blank location field means that the volumes are onsite and available to the server. This volume list can be used in periodic audits of the volume inventory of the courier and vault. You can use the list to collect the required volumes before recovering the server.

For virtual volumes, the location field contains the target server name.

RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE

Contains a script with the commands needed to recover the server. You can use the script as a guide and run the commands from a command line. Or you can copy it to a file, modify it and the files it refers to, and run the script. You may need to modify the script because of differences between the original and the replacement systems. At the completion of these steps, client requests for file restores are satisfied directly from copy storage pool volumes.

The disaster recovery plan issues commands using the administrative client. The disaster recovery plan file issues commands using the administrative client. Ensure that the path to the administrative client is established before running the script. For example, set the shell variable PATH or update the scripts with the path specification for the administrative client.

The commands in the script do the following:

To help understand the operations being performed in this script, see Backup and Recovery Scenarios.

To invoke this script, specify the following positional parameters:

For example, to invoke this script using an administrator ID of don, password of mox, server name of prodtsm, enter the following command:

planprefix/RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE don mox prodtsm

For more information, see the entry for the recovery plan prefix in Table 33.

RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE

Contains a script with the commands needed to restore the server primary storage pools. You can use the script as a guide and run the commands from a command line. Or you can copy it to a file, modify it and the files it refers to, and run the script. You may need to modify the script because of differences between the original and the replacement systems.

The disaster recovery plan issues commands using the administrative client. The disaster recovery plan file issues commands using the administrative client. Ensure that the path to the administrative client is established before running the script. For example, set the shell variable PATH or update the scripts with the path specification for the administrative client.

At the completion of these steps, client requests for file restores are satisfied from primary storage pool volumes. Clients should also be able to resume file backup, archive, and migration functions.

This script invokes the script contained in the PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT.CREATE stanza: It also invokes the macros contained in the following stanzas:

PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT
STGPOOLS.RESTORE

To help understand the operations being performed in this script, see Backup and Recovery Scenarios.

To invoke this script, the following positional parameters must be specified:

For example, to invoke this script using an administrator ID of don, password of mox, server name of prodtsm, enter the following command:

  planprefix/RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE don mox prodtsm

For more information, see the entry for the recovery plan prefix in Table 33.

| #   have been retrieved from the vault and are available. This script          |
| #   assumes the recovery  environment is compatible (essentially the           |
| #   same) as the original. Any deviations require modification to this         |
| #   script and the macros and shell scripts it runs. Alternatively,            |
| #   you can use this script as a guide, and manually execute each step.        |

Create and Install Database and Recovery Log Volumes Stanzas

LOGANDDB.VOLUMES.CREATE

Contains a script with the commands needed to recreate the database and log volumes. You can use the script as a guide and issue the commands as needed from a command line, or you can copy it to a file, modify it, and run it. This script is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

The plan assumes that the volume formatting command (DSMFMT) resides in the same directory as the server executable indicated in the stanza SERVER.REQUIREMENTS.

Copy Storage Pool Volumes Stanzas

COPYSTGPOOL.VOLUMES.AVAILABLE

Contains a macro to mark copy storage pool volumes that were moved offsite and then moved back onsite. This stanza does not include copy storage pool virtual volumes. You can use the information as a guide and issue the administrative commands, or you can copy it to a file, modify it, and run it. This macro is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

After a disaster, compare the copy storage pool volumes listed in this stanza with the volumes that were moved back onsite. You should remove entries from this stanza for any missing volumes.

Contains a macro to mark copy storage pool volumes as unavailable if the volumes were onsite at the time of the disaster. This stanza does not include copy storage pool virtual volumes. These volumes are considered offsite and have not been destroyed in a disaster. You can use the information as a guide and issue the administrative commands from a command line, or you can copy it to a file, modify it, and run it. This macro is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

After a disaster, compare the copy storage pool volumes listed in this stanza with the volumes that were left onsite. If you have any of the volumes and they are usable, you should remove their entries from this stanza.

Primary Storage Volumes Stanzas

PRIMARY.VOLUMES.DESTROYED

Contains a macro to mark primary storage pool volumes as destroyed if the volumes were onsite at the time of disaster. You can use the information as a guide and run the administrative commands from a command line, or you can copy it to a file, modify it, and run it. This macro is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

During recovery, compare the primary storage pool volumes listed in this stanza with the volumes that were onsite. If you have any of the volumes and they are usable, remove their entries from the stanza.

This stanza does not include primary storage pool virtual volumes. These volumes are considered offsite and have not been destroyed in a disaster.

PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT.CREATE

Contains a script with the commands needed to recreate the primary disk storage pool volumes. You can use the script as a guide and run the commands from a command line, or you can copy thew script to a file, modify it, and run it. This script is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE script.

The plan file assumes that the volume formatting program (DSMFMT) resides in the same directory as the server executable indicated in the stanza SERVER.REQUIREMENTS.

The SET DRMPLANVPOSTFIX command adds a character to the end of the names of the original volumes listed in this stanza. This character does the following:

This stanza does not include primary storage pool virtual volumes, because these volumes are considered offsite and have not been destroyed in a disaster.

PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT

Contains a macro to define primary storage pool volumes to the server. You can use the macro as a guide and run the administrative commands from a command line, or you can copy it to a file, modify it, and execute it. This macro is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE script.

Primary storage pool volumes with entries in this stanza have at least one of the following three characteristics:

  1. Original volume in a storage pool whose device class was DISK.
  2. Original volume in a storage pool with MAXSCRATCH=0.
  3. Original volume in a storage pool and volume scratch attribute=no.

The SET DRMPLANVPOSTFIX command adds a character to the end of the names of the original volumes listed in this stanza. This character does the following:

This stanza does not include primary storage pool virtual volumes. These volumes are considered offsite and have not been destroyed in a disaster.

VOLUME.HISTORY.FILE

Contains a copy of the volume history information when the recovery plan was created. The DSMSERV RESTORE DB command uses the volume history file to determine what volumes are needed to restore the database. It is used by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

The following rules determine where to place the volume history file at restore time:

Note:
The volhprefix is set based on the following:

If a fully qualified file name was not specified in the server options file for the VOLUMEHISTORY option, the server adds it to the DSMSERV.OPT.FILE stanza.

DEVICE.CONFIGURATION.FILE

Contains a copy of the server device configuration information when the recovery plan was created. The DSMSERV RESTORE DB command uses the device configuration file to read the database backup volumes. It is used by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

At recovery time, you may need to modify this stanza. You must update the device configuration information if the hardware configuration at the recovery site has changed. Examples of changes requiring updates to the configuration information are:

For details, see Updating the Device Configuration File.

The following rules determine where the device configuration file is placed at restore time:

Note:
The devcprefix is set based on the following:

Note:
The following figure contains text strings that are too long to display in hardcopy or softcopy publications. The long text strings have a plus symbol (+) at the end of the string to indicate that they continue on the next line.

The disaster recovery plan file adds the DISABLESCHEDS option to the server options file and sets it to YES. This option disables administrative and client schedules while the server is being recovered. After the server is recovered, you can enable scheduling by deleting the option or setting it to NO and then restarting the server.
