Note: | If you created a recovery plan file with ADSM Version 3 Release 1, some names
in that file may no longer be valid. After installing Tivoli Storage
Manager, immediately back up your storage pools and database and create a new
recovery plan file.
You can use a recovery plan file and database backup that were created on an ADSM Version 3 Release 1 server to restore a Tivoli Storage Manager server. After the restore is complete, start the server by submitting the server startup job with the UPGRADEDB parameter. Use the UPGRADEDB parameter only for the initial startup. |
To recover from a disaster, you must know the location of offsite recovery media. DRM helps you to determine which volumes to move offsite and back onsite and, tracks the location of the volumes. DRM offsite recovery media management can work with or without a tape management product.
