Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Administrator's Guide
This section provides an overview of the tasks involved in
recovering the server and clients.
Here are guidelines for recovering your server:
- Obtain the latest disaster recovery plan file.
- Break out the file to view, update, print, or run as macros or scripts
(for example, batch programs or batch files).
- Obtain the backup volumes from the vault.
- Locate a suitable replacement machine.
- Restore the Windows NT operating system and TSM to your replacement
machine. When using the TSM device driver (ADSMSCSI), you will also need to
start ADSMSCSI. See Starting and Stopping the Tivoli Storage Manager Device Driver (ADSMSCSI).
- Review the
RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE
RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE scripts because they are
important for restoring the server to a point where clients can be recovered
(see page Disaster Recovery Mode Stanza).
To recover clients, you must first obtain the following information by
querying the recovered database:
- Client machines that have been defined to TSM, along with their location
and restore priority value
- The location of the boot recovery media
- Specific recovery instructions for the machine
- Hardware requirements for the machine
With this information you can restore the client machines
