Improvements needed for planfile scripts for Tivoli Storage Manager

The process of building a server, extracting and using the DRM planfile scripts, and recovering the TSM server is convoluted and difficult, especially when you are in a time-critical recovery test or event. These procedures should be re-created as a prompted series of activities to speed up the process and improve their usability when needed. This may also be a place where integrating the Cristie/Tivoli bare metal recovery technologies may be of use.

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request for TSM, while the recognize this as a valid enhancement request we currently have no plans to enhance the DRM files, we do have plans to address these type of issues and ease the DR plan through some upcoming enhancements to TSM in the very near future.
