Moving Robot/SAVE Setup Only to Another System

Product: 
Robot/SAVE

Before You Begin

This Help/FACTS describes how to move Robot/SAVE 11 setup information only to another system on which it is not currently installed.

Steps to Move Robot/SAVE Setup

On the source system

Note: If the system you are moving is a data center participant (DCP) in a Robot/SAVE data center, exclude the system from the data center before proceeding. If the system you are moving is the data center management system (DCMS), you must transfer it to another system. For more information on working with data centers, see the Robot/SAVE User Guide.

  1. End the Robot/SAVE monitor jobs
  2. Save the following Robot/SAVE and Robot/CORRAL libraries to tape or save file: RBSDTALIB, RBSPGMLIB, RBSKEYLIB, RBTROLLIB.
  3. If no other Robot products are installed on your target system, you also must save the Robot system library, RBTSYSLIB.

On the target system

If no other Robot products are installed on the target system, do Steps 1, 2, and 3; otherwise skip to Step 4.

  1. Restore the Robot system library using the following command:
  2. RSTLIB RBTSYSLIB

  3. Add RBTSYSLIB to the system library list (it doesn’t have to be first):
  4. CHGSYSLIBL RBTSYSLIB

  5. Enter the following command to create the user profiles RBTADMIN and RBTUSER:
  6. CALL RSL062

  7.  Enter the following restore commands. It is extremely important to restore the libraries in the order shown.
  8. RSTLIB RBSDTALIB

    RSTLIB RBSPGMLIB

    RSTLIB RBSKEYLIB (used only in version 11 for encryption)

    RSTLIB RBTROLLIB

  9. If the target system name is different from the source system, you must run the following command to change the system name in Robot/SAVE files.
  10. RSLCHGSYSN

    where Product = ROBOTSAV.

  11. Enter a valid security code. (Enter RBO on a command line, press function key 10, and enter option 1 next to Robot/SAVE.)
  12. Enter the following command to remove old system names:
  13. CLRPFM RBSPGMLIB/RBSAC

  14. Enter the following command to remove old history:
  15. CLRPFM RBSPGMLIB/RBSOH

  16. Manually remove all tapes from Robot/SAVE.

After you have completed these steps, be sure to review your setup in Robot/SAVE. Some things you should check are:

  • Devices (the target system may use a different resource or a different device)
  • Media descriptions
  • Locations
  • Move sets
  • Libraries defined to back up classes and sets
