The media state is changed from VAULTRetrieve to COURIERRetrieve. When
the courier has delivered the volumes to the primary location, change their state
to ONSITERetrieve with the command:
MOVE DRMedia * WHERESTATE=courierretrieve
After changing the state to ONSITERetrieve the media no longer show when you
use query drmedia.
Returned media can then be inserted into the library for reuse, with the checkin
libvol command. Note that you can also specify options to the move drmedia
command for DR media in the COURIERRetrieve state to automatically generate
a macro of checkin libvol commands. Refer to the Tivoli Storage Manager
Administrator's Reference for more details.
19.4 Server restore setup
If a disaster happens, you can easily use the DRM-generated plans and off-site
media to restore the Tivoli Storage Manager server. Here is a summary of the
process:
1. Obtain the latest disaster recovery plan.
2. Locate a suitable replacement machine.
3. Install the operating system and Tivoli Storage Manager on to the
replacement machine.
4. Break the file into its various parts. You may need to update some parts
before running the various macros and scripts.
5. Obtain the backup volumes from the vault.
6. Review the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE and
RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE files (created when splitting the DR
plan into its parts), because they are important for restoring the server to a
point where clients can be recovered.
