The recovery instruction files are user-created and should contain any
site-specific instructions related to the DR process. You can create the files
using any plain text editor. Be sure to include any information that is relevant
to your installation. Instruction files will be automatically included in the DR
plan. The standard names for the instruction plans are:
– RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL: Contains general information
such as the name of the system administrator, backup administrators and
operators names, contact details, security guards, passwords, and so on.
– RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.OFFSITE: Contains information about the
off-site vault location and courier service, including name, phone number,
e-mail, fax, after-hours pager, and so on. Also contains the procedure for
retrieving tapes from the vault including pass phrases and your client
number/details.
– RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.INSTALL: Contains installation instructions
for the Tivoli Storage Manager server, and site-specific details such as
passwords, hardware/software requirements, fix levels, media locations,
and so on.
– RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.DATABASE: Contains instructions to
recreate the Tivoli Storage Manager server database and recovery log
volumes. It is a good idea to keep up-to-date directory listings of the
volumes (for example, ls on UNIX platforms, dir on Windows) in this file.
– RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.STGPOOL: Contains instructions to
recreate the Tivoli Storage Manager server primary storage pool volumes.
It is a good idea to keep up-to-date directory listings of the volumes (for
example, ls on UNIX/Linux, dir on Windows) in this file.
Example 19-5 Setting the DRM instructions files prefix
tsm: LOCHNESS_SERVER1>set drminstrprefix "c:\tsmdata\drm\instructions\"
ANR6700I SET DRMINSTRPREFIX command completed successfully.
3. Next, we specify a character that will be appended to the end of the
replacement volume names in the recovery plan file. The character is set
using set drmplanvpostfix. Use of this special character allows you to easily
search the recovery plan so that you can change the names at recovery time.
In Example 19-6, we use the default character of @.
Example 19-6 Setting the DRM replacement volumes postfix
tsm: LOCHNESS_SERVER1>set drmplanvpostfix @
ANR6700I SET DRMPLANVPOSTFIX command completed successfully.
4. Now we use set drmchecklabel to specify whether Tivoli Storage Manager
will mount and read the labels of tape media when they are checked out using
