being moved to a new server, you can move the backup data that was stored on
the originating server after the export operation was initiated. The FROMDate
and FROMTime options are available when you issue an export server or
export node command.
14.4.2 Suggestions for leveraging the export feature
Here are some reasons why you may want to export data:
Splitting an overloaded server into two or three servers
– Server-to-server export is faster than server-to-media and media-to-server
import.
– Server-to-server export transfers data from different server platforms.
Moving some clients temporarily to do server maintenance
One disadvantage is the amount of data moved, either during the initial export
or if the client does a full incremental during the first backup after being
moved.
Migrating from an earlier version of Tivoli Storage Manager with older tape
technology to a new version with new tape technology (possibly with new
server platform)
a. Set up new the server platform, the Tivoli Storage Manager, and new tape
technology.
b. Set up disk-based storage pool with NEXTstgpool pointing to new tape
technology.
c. Export administrators and policies from the old server.
d. Export nodes from the old server when network load permits.
14.5 Server groups and remote command routing
Two often-overlooked features of server-to-server communications are the
server group and remote command routing. Remote command routing allows
you to run a command on another server. Server groups allow you to route
commands to multiple servers by specifying the group name.
To configure a server group, use these commands:
define servergroup defines the name of a group for use with remote
command routing.
define grpmember adds servers to a group.
