Recovering Your System

This section describes the tasks involved in recovering the ADSM server and clients.

Recovering the Server

The following list is a guideline to recovering your ADSM server.

  1. Get the latest disaster recovery plan file
  2. Break out the file to view, update, print, or execute as ADSM macros or scripts (for example, batch programs or batch files)
  3. Obtain the backup volumes from the vault
  4. Locate a suitable replacement machine
  5. Restore an AIX image to your replacement machine
  6. Review the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE scripts because they are important for restoring the server to a point where clients can be recovered (see page Disaster Recovery Mode Stanza)

Recovering the Clients

To recover ADSM clients, you must have the following information:

  1. Client machines that have been defined to ADSM, along with their location and restore priority value
  2. The boot recovery media
  3. Specific recovery instructions for the machine
  4. Hardware requirements for the machine
