| Abstract |
| |
| This redbook describes how to use ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager (ADSM) to recover from the complete loss of an ADSM client system. Recovery may be required because of a disaster, such as a fire or flood, or a simple hard disk failure that prevents a system from booting. We describe various techniques including bootable recovery, recovery using remote distribution tools, and recovery using peer services to recover ADSM clients on the OS/2, Windows, Novell NetWare, and AIX platforms. We wrote this redbook to help fill an information gap. Much has been written about the recovery of the ADSM server environment. Any discussion of ADSM client environment recovery typically begins at the point when ADSM data file restoration is about to start. This redbook focuses on the recovery of the ADSM client environment from the bare metal up, including the operating system and communications software that have to be in place for the ADSM client to begin its restoration work. We call this recovery the bare metal restore of ADSM clients. This redbook is written for ADSM administrators who are concerned with creating a comprehensive disaster recovery plan that includes not only the ADSM server environment but also the restoration of the ADSM client environment from the bare metal up. We describe actual examples of the bare metal restore of ADSM clients on the OS/2, Windows, Novell NetWare and AIX platforms. We also discuss how ADSM's Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) feature can be used in the context of ADSM client recovery. Some knowledge of ADSM and the corresponding client operating system (OS/2, Windows, Novell NetWare, or AIX) is assumed. We assume that most readers will already be using ADSM and that they will be looking for specific help on the bare metal restore of one or more platforms. Accordingly, the book consists of a basic introduction to ADSM and discrete chapters that give procedures for those platforms. In some cases the procedures are very similar. To make the book easy to use there is some repetition between chapters. If you are reading from cover to cover, we apologize for this. | |
