Export/Import It is possible to export a client definition and all of its related data from one Tivoli Storage Manager server and import it into another Tivoli Storage Manager server. This facility is useful for moving clients from one server platform to another server on the same or different platform. With a large number of clients, or clients with a large amount of data, the export and import can take a significant amount of time, in the order of 24 to 48 hours. In these cases, planning and coordination need to be done as to when the exporting server ceases backups and the importing server starts backups. Server scripts These are very useful for issuing Tivoli Storage Manager commands repeatedly, or with some rudimentary logic around them. SQL queries These are powerful queries you can run against the Tivoli Storage Manager database to extract information. Problem determination Diagnosing and resolving problems are tasks you will have to do on a regular basis. In general, once you have determined that you have a problem, install the latest level of Tivoli Storage Manager client and Tivoli Storage Manager server code and try to recreate the problem. If it still exists, you should engage formal software support procedures. Alternatively, you may search or post your problem to the Tivoli Storage Manager listserv list to see if someone else has experienced the problem or may be able to offer some suggestions. Disaster recovery We recommend that planning and testing for disaster recovery be done on a regular basis. Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) assists in gathering, maintaining, and recommending information and planning pertinent to disaster recovery. 2.13 Summary Now that we have discussed planning and checklists in the initial chapters, as well as the need to read and understand the IBM Redbook IBM Tivoli Storage Management Concepts, SG24-4877, we can get started on the actual installation phase.
