I am trying to move a 7.30TC3 database from machine to another, however this is very poorly documented; for example there is no explanation of what is involved in terms of moving the volumes with ISM. Can anybody point me towards any useful reference on this, or provide a recipe. So far I did an: onbar -b -w on the live machine.Dismount ISM volumes on live machine. Copy ISM volumes to backup machine. Create devices for the volumes. Recover the ISM catalog using ism_catalog -recover Recreate the volumes using ism_catalog -recreate_from Mount the volumes onbar -r -p -w on the backup machine This gives me an error from XBSA Backup Object not found. Cheers
