The recovery instruction files are user-created and should contain any site-specific instructions related to the DR process. You can create the files using any plain text editor. Be sure to include any information that is relevant to your installation. Instruction files will be automatically included in the DR plan. The standard names for the instruction plans are: - RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL: Contains general information such as the name of the system administrator, backup administrators and operators names, contact details, security guards, passwords, and so on. - RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.OFFSITE: Contains information about the off-site vault location and courier service, including name, phone number, e-mail, fax, after-hours pager, and so on. Also contains the procedure for retrieving tapes from the vault including pass phrases and your client number/details. - RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.INSTALL: Contains installation instructions for the Tivoli Storage Manager server, and site-specific details such as passwords, hardware/software requirements, fix levels, media locations, and so on. - RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.DATABASE: Contains instructions to recreate the Tivoli Storage Manager server database and recovery log volumes. It is a good idea to keep up-to-date directory listings of the volumes (for example, ls on UNIX platforms, dir on Windows) in this file. - RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.STGPOOL: Contains instructions to recreate the Tivoli Storage Manager server primary storage pool volumes. It is a good idea to keep up-to-date directory listings of the volumes (for example, ls on UNIX/Linux, dir on Windows) in this file. Example 19-5 Setting the DRM instructions files prefix tsm: LOCHNESS_SERVER1>set drminstrprefix "c:\tsmdata\drm\instructions\" ANR6700I SET DRMINSTRPREFIX command completed successfully. 3. Next, we specify a character that will be appended to the end of the replacement volume names in the recovery plan file. The character is set using set drmplanvpostfix. Use of this special character allows you to easily search the recovery plan so that you can change the names at recovery time. In Example 19-6, we use the default character of @. Example 19-6 Setting the DRM replacement volumes postfix tsm: LOCHNESS_SERVER1>set drmplanvpostfix @ ANR6700I SET DRMPLANVPOSTFIX command completed successfully. 4. Now we use set drmchecklabel to specify whether Tivoli Storage Manager will mount and read the labels of tape media when they are checked out using Chapter 19. Disaster Recovery Manager 595
