| 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 Tivoli® Storage
Manager 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 and active-data pool REUSEDELAY and DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS
are the same. If copy storage pools or active-data pools managed by DRM have different
REUSEDELAY values, set the DRMDBBACKUPEXPIREDAYS value to the highest
REUSEDELAY value.

| 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
Determine which active-data pools are to
be managed by DRM - Offsite active-data pools

| Where to Save the Recovery Plan
File Locally:
- What is the recovery plan
file pathname prefix?
- How will recovery plan files be made
available at the recovery
site?
- Print and store offsite
- 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 pathname?
|
|
|
|
|
|
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

the commands specified with the CMD parameter on MOVE and QUERY DRMEDIA
- SET DRMCHECKLABEL to specify whether volume labels are verified
when checked out by the MOVE DRMEDIA command
- 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)
- Tivoli Storage
Manager 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 path/HLQ as specified by SET DRMINSTRPREFIX

| Test disaster recovery manager |

Test
the installation
and customization - QUERY DRMSTATUS to display the DRM setup
- Back
up the active and inactive data that is in primary storage
pools to copy storage pools. Copy the active data that is in primary
storage pools to active-data pools.
- Back up the Tivoli Storage
Manager database
- QUERY DRMEDIA to list the copy storage pool and active-data pool
volumes
- MOVE DRMEDIA to move offsite
- PREPARE to create
the recovery plan file
