Introduction
The Tranzman Recorder is a FREE tool that helps create a data snapshot of the origin or destination backup environments involved in a migration.
It gathers information from backup environments for initial assessment and for migration of environments.
It can also be used as a virtual agent for migrations and recoveries.
Using Tranzman Recorder
The tool is available as downloadable either from Tranzman Appliance deployed for Assessment or through an email to tzm_support@stoneram.com
TZM Recorder for UNIX/Linux
Step:1
Download the recorder binary on the backup servers involved in migration. Ensure the Filesystem on where the recorder is downloaded has a minimum 2GB freespace.
All files/folders will be created on the recorder's current directory. Extract the downloaded file by either one of below command.
If tar doesn't support 'z' option then the alternative of gunzip and tar can be used.
| > tar xzf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz |
| > gunzip tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz |
| > tar xf tzm_recorder_linux.64.tgz |
Step:2 Update the permission to all files extracted in the newly created tzm_recorder folder.
| > chmod +xr -R tzm_recorder |
Step:3 Execute the tzm_recorder binary under tzm_recorder directory.
| > cd tzm_recorder |
| > ./tzm_recorder |
| INFO | Tool build date Thu Apr 6 21:45:03 2023 |
| INFO | START - Getting environment information |
| INFO | Getting process list |
TZM Recorder for Windows
Step:1 Download the windows binary zip file to the backup server and extract the zip. Please ensure to have at least 2GB free space on the extracted filesystem, as the extracted directory will be going to act as base directory for the Tranzman recorder. Right click on the zip file to extract.
Step:2 Open CMD prompt and change to the base directory of extracted tzm recorder and execute tzm_recorder.exe
| # tzm_recorder.exe |
 |
The CMD prompt should be Run as Administrator or as an account with Administrator rights. |
Tranzman recorder to Anonymise data
By default tzm_recorder creates the output as a zip file. In order to anonoymise the data, either extract the output file manually or by using -no_zip option with tzm_recorder as below.
Step:1 (Run with no_zip option)
|
> tzm_recorder -no_zip |
Step:2 (Discover Identifiable Content) Using the tzm_recorder to discover any identifiable content, will help to prepare a list of current identifiable content to convert it to some random strings.
|
> tzm_recorder -get_identifiable -recording_path TZM_recording_1234567890 |
Step:3 (Review/Modify anon_map.txt) The generated map file has mapping between original and random data generated as part of anonymise. This file (anon_map.txt) can be updated as per customer needs.
|
127.0.0.1 140.1.1.6 |
Step:4 (Anonymise the identifiable Content)
The generated anon file configurations will be anonymised based on its mapping in the file. This can be carried using below command.
The resulted output zip file will have all sensitive data updated with some random invalid data
|
> tzm_recorder -anoymise -recording_path TZM_recording_1234567890 |
After the data has been anonymised, user can delete the anon_map.txt file or keep it for their own reference (so that any feed back about issues in the environment can be used by them to determine what systems need to be fixed).
Tranzman recorder for sizing information
Sizing on UNIX/Linux
Executing the tzm_recorder with -sizer option, let the tool perform sizing information checks
| > ./tzm_recorder -sizer |
Sizing on Windows
Open a CMD prompt and run the tzm_recorder.exe tool with -sizer option
| # tzm_recorder.exe -sizer |
Providing Credentials
Some Backup Product requires credentials to be entered to continue further with the tool execution.
TZM
TSM requires the db2 and tsm credentials as below.
| INFO | >>SYSTEM<< Credentials are not valid for db2 database account, please enter correct credentials Please enter the username for db2 account >tsminst1 Please enter the username for tsm account >admin |
Commvault
Commvault requires commcell credentials.
| INFO | >>SYSTEM<< Credentials are not valid for login to commcell, please enter correct credentials Please enter the username for cvm account >Administrator |
