SPP 3.rd recovery

Customer wants a third site for recovery. They are planning for a 3rd site recovery site to start up the workload from backup.


Today we can recover SPP catalog from vsnaps. And the vsnaps can store data as archive to OSSM/S3/SP (this will act as storage for the 3rd site) But, how do a recovery happen when both sites are unavailable? Possible scenario:


  • Make sure the catalog is back'ed up to a vsnap at the third site. We need that to restore the SPP management.

  • Connect new vsnaps (all/one?) to the new SPP management host.

  • Connect vsnaps to OSSM/S3/SP to extract data

  • Restore/retrieve data .


Above is the planned recovery, but not much information is available to us on the IBM website to help/aid in this


We need some method to recover/rehydrate vsnaps or virtual machines to the recovery site.
