Plan for DRM
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evaluate your disaster recovery requirements
- What are the business priorities for recovering your clients?
- Where is the recovery site?
- Is the recovery site hot, warm, or cold?
- Do the clients have connectivity to recovery server?
- Who are the system and TSM administrators?
- Will you need to return to the original site?
- Where are the offsite backups stored?
- How does the vault handle the backup media?
- How are the backups packaged or processed?
- Who provides the courier service?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evaluate the current storage pool backup implementation
- What primary storage pools are being backed up?
- When are the backups performed?
- Will the backups remain onsite or be sent offsite?
- Naming conventions for replacement volumes for primary storage pools
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evaluate the current database backup implementation
- When are the backups performed?
- Backup purpose: offsite or onsite
- Will you use snapshot database backups or full plus incremental database
backups?
- How long do you want to keep backup series? Verify that the values for
copy storage pool REUSEDELAY and DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS are the same.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Determine which primary storage pools are to be managed by DRM
|
|
|
|
|
|
Determine which copy storage pools are to be managed by DRM
- Offsite copy storage pools
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where to Save the Recovery Plan File
Locally:
- What is the recovery plan file dsname prefix?
- How will recovery plan files be made available at the recovery site?
- Print and store offsite
- Tape/diskette copy stored offsite
- Copy sent/NFS to recovery site
On Another Server:
- What server is to be used as the target server?
- What is the name of the target server's device class?
- How long do you want to keep recovery plan files?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Determine where you want to create the user-specified recovery
instructions
What is the prefix of the instructions dsname?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evaluate the TMS/DRM interaction options
- Will DRM drive the backup volume movement?
- Will TMS drive the backup volume movement?
- How to notify the other of volume movement?
- What TMS policies need to be created?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Analyze the sequence of steps related to the PREPARE command backup
movement
Document the flow of activities and timings
- Sending of volumes offsite
- Return of empty volumes
- PREPARE timing

Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
Receive and Install the TSM code
|
|
|
|
|
|
License DRM
- REGISTER LICENSE or
- Update the server options
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set DRM defaults
Issue:
- SET DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS to define the database backup expiration
- SET DRMPRIMSTGPOOL to specify the DRM-managed primary storage pools
- SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL to specify the DRM-managed copy storage pools
- SET DRMPLANVPOSTFIX to specify a character to be appended to new storage
pools
- SET DRMPLANPREFIX to specify the RPF prefix
- SET DRMINSTRPREFIX to specify the user instruction file prefix
- SET DRMNOTMOUNTABLENAME to specify the default location for media to be
sent offsite
- SET DRMCOURIERNAME to specify the default courier
- SET DRMVAULTNAME to specify the default vault
- SET DRMCMDFILENAME to specify the default file name to contain the
commands specified with the CMD parameter on MOVE and QUERY DRMEDIA
- SET DRMRPFEXPIREDAYS to specify a value for the frequency of RPF
expiration (when plan files are stored on another server)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Define the site-specific recovery instructions
Identify:
- Target disaster recovery server location
- Target server software requirements
- Target server hardware requirements (storage devices)
- TSM administrator contact
- Courier name and telephone number
- Vault location and contact person
Create:
- Enter the site-specific recovery instructions data into files created in
the same as specified by SET DRMINSTRPREFIX
|

|
Test Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager
|
|
|
|
|
|
Test the installation and customization
- QUERY DRMSTATUS to display the DRM setup
- Back up the primary storage pools
- Back up the TSM database
- QUERY DRMEDIA to list the backup volumes
- MOVE DRMEDIA to move offsite
- PREPARE to create the recovery plan file
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examine the recovery plan file created
|
|
|
|
|
|
Test the recovery plan file break out
- REXX exec ANRPLANX
- Locally written procedure
