Specifying Information About Your Server and Client Node Machines

You need information about your server machine to rebuild its replacement. You also need information about client node machines to rebuild or restore them. Follow this procedure to specify that information and store it in the server database:

Server Machine

  1. Specify server machine information:

    Issue the DEFINE MACHINE command. with ADSMSERVER=YES. For example, to define machine MACH22 in building 021, 2nd floor, in room 2929, with a priority of 1, enter:

    define machine tsm1 adsmserver=yes priority=1
    

    Client Machines

  2. Specify the client node location and business priority:

    Issue the DEFINE MACHINE command. For example, to define machine MACH22 in building 021, 2nd floor, in room 2929, with a priority of 1, enter:

    define machine mach22 building=021 floor=2 room=2929 priority=1
    
  3. Associate one or more client nodes with a machine:

    Issue the DEFINE MACHNODEASSOCIATION command. Use this association information to identify client nodes on machines that were destroyed. You should restore the file spaces associated with these nodes. For example, to associate node CAMPBELL with machine MACH22, enter:

    define machnodeassociation mach22 campbell
    

    To query machine definitions, issue the QUERY MACHINE command. See the example, in Client Recovery Scenario.

  4. To add machine characteristics and recovery instructions to the database, issue the INSERT MACHINE command. You must first query the operating system to identify the characteristics for your client machine. You can add the information manually or use an awk script a C program (a sample program is shipped with DRM) to do it.
