ProtecTIER system recovery procedures for the TS7600 ProtecTIER Deduplication Solutions, V3.4.3

The topics in this section provide instructions for recovering a ProtecTIER server. This procedure should be used for node replacement with the same server model in a Disaster Recovery scenario. If you want to perform a node replacement and the server model of the new node is different from the server being replaced, contact IBM. This replacement must be ordered as an RPQ.

Note: In addition to the procedures outlined in the following topics, the TS7650G 3958 DD6 provides the new Operating System (OS) Recovery feature. This feature adds redundancy to the ProtecTIER server by enabling it to create images of its current configuration. These can be used to reduce the time needed to recover a server from a catastrophic failure. For information about using OS Recovery, see the IBM ProtecTIER Implementation and Best Practices Guide, publication SG24-8025-03 available on the following Web site:
