2. If using the Whitewater appliance as a copy storage pool target, prepare the TSM server environment with TSM Disaster
Recovery Manager (DRM).
Issue the following TSM server commands to set up DRM to manage Whitewater copy storage pool volumes:
o
SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL <whitewater-copy-storagepool-name>
o
SET DRMFILEPROCESS YES
o
QUERY DRMEDIA COPYSTGPOOL=<whitewater-copy-storagepool-name>
Manage the DRM volumes and place them offsite as you would any typical DRM volumes using the MOVE DRMEDIA
command.
Whitewater Gateway Recovery
The first step to recover from a catastrophic failure of your Production Site is to install and configure for disaster recovery a new
physical or virtual Whitewater gateway. It is recommended to use a virtual Whitewater gateway for the initial recovery, which can
be downloaded from the support website and quickly deployed within a VMware environment at the DR Site. While not required,
the Whitewater at the DR Site is suggested to have the same or greater local storage capacity as the original Whitewater at the
lost Production Site, should you decide to make these resources at the DR Site your production resources after the DR is
complete.
The following describes the steps to fully recover and restore the backup data from the cloud to the new physical or virtual
Whitewater gateway.
1. Configure Whitewater to the new network environment at the DR site.
Plug a serial cable into the Console port and a terminal, or in the case of virtual Whitewater use the virtual VMware
console.
