03/01/2006 11:44:32 ANR1238I Restore of primary storage pool DISKDATA has ended. Files Restored: 5427, Bytes Restored: 376963072, Unreadable Files: 0, Unreadable Bytes: 0. Alternatively, you can use the recovery script as a guide and manually run each step. If you wish to view the output of the commands run during the server restoration process, the results are logged in the following files: LOGANDDB.VOLUMES.INSTALL.LOG LICENSE.REGISTRATION.LOG COPYSTGPOOL.VOLUMES.AVAILABLE.LOG PRIMARY.VOLUMES.DESTROYED.LOG COPYSTGPOOL.VOLUMES.DESTROYED.LOG PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT.CREATE.LOG PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT.LOG STGPOOLS.RESTORE.LOG 19.5.6 Summary of example disaster recovery plan Using Tivoli Storage Manager Disaster Recovery Manager, we were able to quickly restore our Tivoli Storage Manager server named LOCHNESS_Server1 on a replacement set of hardware. The off-site backup of the Tivoli Storage Manager database and the copy storage pool volumes provided the necessary data. Once your replacement server is up and running, you should use DRM procedures to return the retrieved vault recovery volumes so they are available in the event of another disaster. You can now resume normal backup and disaster protection operations. 19.6 Summary As we mentioned on the first page of this chapter, our example and the associated explanations are not sufficient to supply the reader with enough understanding of disaster recovery to properly design and implement a solution. There are some excellent books on disaster recovery available. However, the IBM Redbook Disaster Recovery Strategies with Tivoli Storage Management, SG24-6844, is certainly one of the "must read" choices. Implementing the Disaster Recovery Manager without a full understanding of the product, and a business commitment to its ongoing care and feeding, may lead to misconfiguration or undesirable results at a point when it is most needed.
