This section explains restoration of data backed up in units of slices/LUs.
Execute 11.5.1 tbodrhistdisp (Tape backup history batch display command) on the tape server to select the device on the ETERNUS storage system to which data is restored according to the information displayed.
When selecting the device for data restoration, take into account the disk capacity of the ETERNUS storage system at the disaster recovery site.
For details of the tape backup history package display command, refer to "11.5.1 tbodrhistdisp (Tape backup history batch display command)".
Prior to restoring data, define partitions (slices) or LUs on the ETERNUS storage system as the restoration destination device (for the data selected in "14.8.3.1 Displaying and selecting the restoration data").
Arrange for a storage server with the same platform as that displayed in "Platform" when 11.5.1 tbodrhistdisp (Tape backup history batch display command) is executed, and then define partitions (slices) or LUs.
Figure 14.9 "Summary of the restore destination device definition" and "Example of the tbodrhistdisp command execution"
Prepare the storage server and define the restoration destination device.
Follow the procedures below to build the storage server.
Installing the agent
Install the AdvancedCopy Manager agent.
For details of the installation procedure, refer to "Installing the agent" in "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Installation Guide".
Customizing the storage server
Customize the storage server.
For details of customizing the storage server, refer to "Customizing the storage server" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Installation Guide"
The procedures for defining the restoration destination devices are explained as follows.
Execute this processing as many times as the number of devices selected as described in "14.8.3.1 Displaying and selecting the restoration data".
Obtaining information required to define the devices
Obtain "Platform" information and "Capacity (MB)" information from the result of 11.5.1 tbodrhistdisp (Tape backup history batch display command) executed for the devices selected for restoration.
Defining devices on the storage server
Define partitions (slices) or LUs as the restoration destination devices on the storage server using information obtained in Item 1 above.
Creating configuration information files of the restoration destination devices
Record configuration information of devices defined in Item 2 above in the definition files.
[File name]
servername.cnf
servername
Specify the name of the storage server that is the restoration destination at the disaster recovery site.
[Location of file storage]
On the tape server
[Explanation on the files]
The file must be created for each storage server.
The file format is shown below.
<Blockdevice name> <BoxID> <LU number> <Start extent> <Size> |
Details of the definition information are explained below.
Item | Explanation |
|---|---|
Blockdevice name | Block device name |
BoxID | BOXID hexadecimal expression (Explained in "How to create the statement"* according to the STXGetvol output.) |
LU number | For LU number, attach hexadecimal "h". (Explained in"How to create the statement"* according to the STXGetvol output.) |
Start extent | For the start position, attach hexadecimal "h". (Explained in"How to create the statement"* according to the STXGetvol output.) |
Size | For size, attach hexadecimal "h". (Explained in"How to create the statement"* according to the STXGetvol output.) |
Lines starting with '#' in the first column are comment lines.
A delimiter between columns is a null or a tab.
Only alphanumeric and special characters can be used. Characters that are language dependent cannot be used.
The line feed code is UNIX.
An example is shown below.
# Volume BOXID LUN EXTENT SIZE /dev/dsk/c1t1d1s3 30304752373430232323232323234752373443303123232323234341343723232323232323232323 ceh fc000h 64000h |
Note
When the file contains a description error, 11.5.2 tbodrrestore (Command for restoring from tape for disaster recovery) will result in an error.

Transfer the servername.cnf file thus created in /var/tmp/tsm_data on the tape server.
Note
Take note of the following differences when specifying devices.
Device name to specify for the command: special device name (Example: /dev/rdsk/c1t1d1s3)
Device name to specify for the file: block device name (Example: /dev/dsk/c1t1d1s3)
Dismount the defined devices from the storage server.
Note
Do not connect the devices defined in this process to the tape server.
This section explains the procedure for data recovery from backup tapes.
The TSM server must be started before using 11.5.2 tbodrrestore (Command for restoring from tape for disaster recovery).
Refer to "11.6.7 Starting and stopping the TSM daemon" to check and start TSM if necessary.
Data is restored using 11.5.2 tbodrrestore (Command for restoring from tape for disaster recovery).
An example of restoring user data is shown below.
Storage server name
StrgSV01
Name of the storage server at the restoration destination
Stgsvr01
Backup type
Generation management backup
Relative generation number: 2
Restoration destination device
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1
Restoration target device
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1
Path to the ACM management information storage destination directory
/var/tmp/Tapesvr01/TapeData/FJSVswstm/data/Tapesvr01
Access path
/dev/FJSVmplb/rdsk/mplb2053s2
Path to the directory storing configuration information of the restoration destination device
/var/tmp/tsm_data
Specify the files that define the restoration destination device configuration created in Item 3 of 14.8.3.2.3 Procedures for defining the restoration destination devices.
# /opt/FJSVswstm/bin/tbodrrestore -h StrgSV01 -g 2 -d Stgsvr01 -r /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s1 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1 /var/tmp/Tapesvr01/TapeData/FJSVswstm/data/Tapesvr01 /dev/FJSVmplb/rdsk/mplb2053s2 /var/tmp/tsm_data # |
Devices to be specified as restoration destination devices in 11.5.2 tbodrrestore (Command for restoring from tape for disaster recovery) must be arranged for in advance according to the procedures in "14.8.3.2 Preparing a device as the restoration destination".
For details on this command, refer to "11.5.2 tbodrrestore (Command for restoring from tape for disaster recovery)".
Execute this procedure as many times as the number of devices selected in "14.8.3.1 Displaying and selecting the restoration data".
To check the data restored in "14.8.3.3 Restoring user data", you must mount the restoration destination device on the storage server of the platform indicated for that data in the displayed results of 11.5.1 tbodrhistdisp (Tape backup history batch display command).
