Air Cleaner User Manual

v AFS and DFS file system structures can not be recreated from backups. If the
root user has the appropriate AFS or DFS permissions, then SysBack can backup
the data.
Note: The TSM Backup / Archive Client supports the backup of AFS and DFS
file systems.
v Compression should not be set from within the SysBack backup commands
when the backup destination is a TSM server. Compression of data is controlled
through TSM configuration options.
v Files, directories, file systems, or logical volumes that you would like excluded
from backup processing must be defined in the SysBack exclude list. TSM
exclude processing does not apply to this backup process. For more information
on defining SysBack exclude lists, please refer to Chapter 9, “Exclude Lists”,on
page 9-1.
Basic Setup and Configuration Tasks
In order to perform backup, list, verify, query, or restore operations with a TSM
server, you must perform the following configuration tasks:
Register a TSM Node
Before you may perform any communications with a TSM server, you must first
register a TSM node and define a password. For example, you could type the
following TSM server command via the TSM Administrative Client interface:
dsmadmc> register node lasher password domain=special
Note: There are several options available when registering a node. For more
detailed information related to registering nodes to a TSM server, please
refer to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Administrator’s Guide
(GC32-0768) or the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Administrator’s
Reference (GC32-0769)
The password will be initialized when the TSM virtual device is created. If your
password is already initialized, such as when you are using the same node name
as your TSM Backup / Archive Client, it will be necessary for you to provide that
password when creating the virtual device definition.
Install the API Client
You must install the version 5.1.5 (or later) TSM 32-bit API client for use with
SysBack operations.
Note: Please refer to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager README.API file for
detailed installation instructions.
Configure the TSM Client System Options File
You must add, update, or select an existing server stanza in the
/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin/dsm.sys file. Operations between SysBack and TSM
require at least this minimum information in the dsm.sys file:
************************************************************************

* Sample Client System Options file for AIX and SunOS (dsm.sys.smp) *
************************************************************************
