Administrator's Guide


The Disaster Recovery Plan

The disaster recovery plan is organized into stanzas, which you can break out into multiple useful files.

Breaking Out a Disaster Recovery Plan File

You can use an awk script procedure or an editor to break out the stanzas in the disaster recovery plan file into individual files.

An example procedure, planexpl.awk.smp, is shipped with the DRM feature and is located in /usr/lpp/adsmserv/bin/ or wherever the server resides. You can modify this procedure for your installation.

Structure of the Disaster Recovery Plan File

The disaster recovery plan stanzas can be categorized as follows:

Command stanzas
Consist of scripts (for example, batch programs or batch files) and ADSM macros. These stanzas can be viewed, printed, updated, or executed as part of the disaster recovery process.
Note:The RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE and RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE stanzas contain the scripts that invoke the scripts and macros contained in the other stanzas.

Instruction stanzas
Include recovery instructions specific to your site. They can be printed, updated, and used during server recovery.

Server requirements stanzas
Include the database and recovery log requirements, device and volume requirements, and license information. You can view or print these stanzas.

Configuration file stanzas
Consist of the volume history, device configuration, and server options files.

Machine and recovery media stanzas
These stanzas include machine general information, machine hardware and software characteristics, recovery media information, and machine recovery instructions. They can be printed, updated, and used during server recovery. You determine the information to rebuild the machine where the ADSM server is running. The PREPARE command retrieves the information for the machine from the ADSM database.

Table 22 lists the recovery plan file stanzas, and indicates what type of administrative processing is required during set up, routine operations, and disaster recovery. The table also indicates whether the stanza contains a macro, a script, or a configuration file.
Note:In the column "Admin. Action During Setup or Periodic Updates," the "--" means that DRM automatically collects this information for the file.

Server Requirements Stanza

SERVER.REQUIREMENTS
Identifies the database and recovery log storage requirements for this server. The replacement server machine must have enough disk space to install the database and recovery log volumes.

This stanza also identifies the directory where the server executable resided when the server was started. If the server executable is in a different directory on the replacement machine, you must edit the plan file to account for this change.
Note:If you use links to the server executable file, you must create the links on the replacement machine or modify the following plan file stanzas:
  • RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE
  • LOGANDDB.VOLUMES.CREATE
  • LOGANDDB.VOLUMES.INSTALL
  • PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT.CREATE

Recovery Instructions Stanza

The administrator enters recovery instructions into source files that the PREPARE command includes in the plan files. For more information on editing the source file, see "Customizing the Site-Specific Recovery Instructions".
Note:In the following stanza descriptions, instructionsprefix represents the prefix portion of the file name. See "Prefix for Recovery Instructions" for details.

RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL
Identifies site specific instructions the administrator has entered in the source file identified by instructionsprefixRECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.GENERAL. The instructions should include the recovery strategy, key contact names, an overview of key applications backed up by this server, and other relevant recovery instructions.

RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.OFFSITE
Contains instructions the server administrator has manually edited to the source text file identified by instructionsprefixRECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.OFFSITE. The instructions should include the name and location of the offsite vault, and how to contact the vault (for example, a name and phone number).

RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.INSTALL
Contains instructions the server administrator has manually edited to the source text file identified by instructionsprefixRECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.INSTALL. The instructions should include how to rebuild the base server machine and the location of the system image backup copies.

RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.DATABASE
Contains instructions the server administrator has manually edited to the source text file identified by instructionsprefixRECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.DATABASE. The instructions should include how to prepare for the ADSM server database recovery. For example, you may want to provide instructions on how to initialize or load the backup volumes for an automated library. Please note, the following example does not contain a sample of this stanza.

RECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.STGPOOL
Contains instructions the server administrator has manually edited to the source text file identified by instructionsprefixRECOVERY.INSTRUCTIONS.STGPOOL. The instructions should include the names of your software applications and the copy storage pool names containing the backup of these applications. Please note, the following example does not contain a sample of this stanza.

Volume and Device Requirements Stanzas

RECOVERY.VOLUMES.REQUIRED
Provides a list of the database backup and copy storage pool volumes required to recover the ADSM server. This list can include both virtual volumes and nonvirtual volumes. A database backup volume is included if it is part of the most recent database backup series. A copy storage pool volume is included if it is not empty and not marked destroyed. The location and device class names for the volumes are displayed.

If you are using a nonvirtual volume environment and issuing the MOVE DRMEDIA command for offsite recovery media management, a blank location field means that the volumes are onsite and available to the ADSM server. This volume list can be used as the basis of periodic audits for the inventory of volumes at the courier and offsite vault. You can use the list to collect the required volumes before recovering the server.

For virtual volumes, the location field contains the target server name.

RECOVERY.DEVICES.REQUIRED
Provides details about the devices needed to read the backup volumes.

Disaster Recovery Mode Stanza

RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE
Contains a script with the commands needed to restore the database and restart the server. Use it as a guide and execute the commands as needed from a command line, or you can copy it to a file, modify it and the files it references, and execute the script. At the completion of these steps, client requests for file restores are satisfied directly from copy storage pool volumes.

The RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script often requires modification at the recovery site because of differences between the original and the replacement systems. This script provides the following:

To help understand the operations being performed in this script, see "Backup and Recovery Scenarios".

To invoke this script, the following positional parameters must be specified:

For example, to invoke this script using an administrator ID of don, password of mox, server name of prodadsm, enter the following command:

  planprefix/RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE don mox prodadsm

For additional information on planprefix, see "Prefix for Recovery Plan File".

Create andInstall Database and Recovery Log Volumes Stanzas

LOGANDDB.VOLUMES.CREATE
Contains a script with the command required to recreate the ADSM server database and log volumes that existed before the disaster. You can use it as a guide and execute the commands as needed from a command line, or optionally copy it to a file, modify it, and execute it.

The PREPARE command assumes that the volume formatting program (DSMFMT) resides in the same directory as the server executable indicated in the stanza SERVER.REQUIREMENTS.

This script is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

LOG.VOLUMES
Contains the names of the log volumes to be initialized.

The contents of this stanza must be placed into a separate file which will be used by the LOGANDDB.VOLUMES.INSTALL script.

Copy Storage Pool Volumes Stanzas

COPYSTGPOOL.VOLUMES.AVAILABLE
Contains an ADSM macro to mark copy storage pool volumes that were moved offsite and then moved back onsite. This stanza does not include copy storage pool virtual volumes. You can use the information as a guide and execute the ADSM administrative commands as needed from a command line, or optionally copy it to a file, modify it, and execute it.

This macro is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

After a disaster, compare the copy storage pool volumes listed in this stanza with the volumes that were moved back onsite. You should remove entries from this stanza for any missing volumes.

COPYSTGPOOL.VOLUMES.DESTROYED
Contains an ADSM macro to mark copy storage pool volumes as unavailable, if the voluems were onsite at the time of the disaster. You can use the information as a guide and execute the ADSM administrative commands as needed from a command line or optionally copy it to a file, modify it, and execute it.

This macro is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

After a disaster, compare the copy storage pool volumes listed in this stanza with the volumes that were left onsite. If you have any of the volumes and they are usable, you should remove their entries from this stanza.

This stanza does not include copy storage pool virtual volumes, because these volumes are considered offsite, and therefore they have not been destroyed in a disaster.

Primary Storage Volumes Stanzas

PRIMARY.VOLUMES.DESTROYED
Contains an ADSM macro to mark primary storage pool volumes as destroyed when the volumes were onsite at the time of disaster. You can use the information as a guide and execute the ADSM administrative commands as needed from a command line or optionally copy it to a file, modify it, and execute it.

This macro is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

In the event of a disaster, compare the primary storage pool volumes listed in this stanza with the volumes that were onsite. If you have any of the volumes and they are usable, you should remove their entries from here.

This stanza does not include primary storage pool virtual volumes, because these volumes are considered offsite, and therefore they have not been destroyed in a disaster.

PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT.CREATE
Contains a script with the commands required to recreate the primary disk storage pool volumes. You can use it as a guide and execute the commands as needed from a command line, or optionally copy it to a file, modify it, and execute it.

The PREPARE command assumes that the volume formatting program (DSMFMT) resides in the same directory as the server executable indicated in the stanza SERVER.REQUIREMENTS.

This script is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE script.

The SET DRMPLANVPOSTFIX command adds a character to the end of the names of the original volumes listed in this stanza. This character does the following:

This stanza does not include primary storage pool virtual volumes, because these volumes are considered offsite, and therefore they have not been destroyed in a disaster.

PRIMARY.VOLUMES.REPLACEMENT
Contains an ADSM macro to define primary storage pool volumes to the ADSM server. You can use it as a guide and execute the ADSM administrative commands as needed from a command line or optionally copy it to a file, modify it, and execute it.

This macro is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE script.

Primary storage pool volumes that have entries in this stanza possess at least one of the following three characteristics:

  1. Original volume in a storage pool whose device class was DISK.
  2. Original volume in a storage pool with MAXSCRATCH=0.
  3. Original volume in a storage pool and volume scratch attribute=no.

The SET DRMPLANVPOSTFIX command adds a character to the end of the names of the original volumes listed in this stanza. This character does the following:

This stanza does not include primary storage pool virtual volumes, because these volumes are considered offsite, and therefore they have not been destroyed in a disaster.

Storage Pools Restore Stanza

STGPOOLS.RESTORE
Contains an ADSM macro to restore the primary storage pools. You can use it as a guide and execute the ADSM administrative commands as needed from a command line or optionally copy it to a file, modify it, and execute it.

This macro is invoked by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.NORMAL.MODE script.

This stanza does not include primary storage pool virtual volumes, because these volumes are considered offsite, and therefore they have not been destroyed in a disaster.

Configuration Stanzas

VOLUME.HISTORY.FILE
Contains a copy of the server volume history information reflecting current history at the time of disaster recovery plan creation. The DSMSERV RESTORE DB command uses the volume history file to determine what volumes are required to restore the database. It is referenced by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

The following rules are used to determine where the volume history file is placed at restore time:

Note:The volhprefix is set based on the following:

  • If the environmental variable DSMSERV_DIR has been defined, it is used as the volhprefix.

  • If the environmental variable DSMSERV_DIR has not been defined, the directory where the ADSM server is started from is used as the volhprefix.

If a fully qualified file name was not specified in the server options file for the VOLUMEHISTORY option, the PREPARE command adds it to the DSMSERV.OPT.FILE stanza.

DEVICE.CONFIGURATION.FILE
Contains a copy of the server device configuration information reflecting current history at the time of disaster recovery plan creation. The DSMSERV RESTORE DB command uses the device configuration file to read the database backup volumes. It is referenced by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.

At recovery time, the contents of this stanza may need to be modified if, for example, the original site uses an automated tape library and the recovery site does not use an automated tape library. For information about updating the device configuration file, see "Recreating a Device Configuration File".

The following rules are used to determine where the device configuration file is placed at restore time:

Note on the devcprefix:The devcprefix is set based on the following:

  • If the environmental variable DSMSERV_DIR has been defined, it is used as the devcprefix.

  • If the environmental variable DSMSERV_DIR has not been defined, the directory where the ADSM server is started from is used as the devcprefix.

If a fully qualified file name was not specified for the DEVCONFIG option in the server options file, PREPARE adds it to the stanza DSMSERV.OPT.FILE.

DSMSERV.OPT.FILE
Contains a copy of the server options file.

This stanza is referenced by the RECOVERY.SCRIPT.DISASTER.RECOVERY.MODE script.
Note:The following figure contains text strings that are too long to display in the hardcopy or softcopy publications. The long text strings have a plus symbol (+) at the end of the string to indicate that they continue on the next line.
