Tivoli Space Manager for UNIX Using the Hierarchical Storage Management Clients

Restoring Your Operating System

If you can run the backup-archive client, you can recover files. If you can run the HSM client, you can recreate stub files for your migrated files and create stub files for your premigrated files. If you lose the file system that contains your TSM clients, you must reinstall the clients before you can recover your files. If you lose the file system that contains the operating system and communications software, you must recover them before you can connect to your server. To minimize the impact of such losses, create a set of installation media that will restore your system to a state that permits contact with the server. The installation media should contain:

  1. A startable operating system that permits you to perform basic functions.
  2. A correctly-configured communications program that permits you to establish communications with the server.
  3. A backup-archive client and an HSM client with customized options files. Command-line clients are sufficient.

The files that you need depend upon the communications package that you use. Consult your operating system and communications software manuals for help in setting up your installation media.
