Air Cleaner User Manual
Server IP Address (Required)
Specify the IP address of the server system that will be used to reinstall
this client. This should be the system running the TSM server that has the
desired backup object to restore. If the boot server is the same as the
installation server, do not change this value unless you have chosen a
different network interface to perform the installation. If you are choosing
a different network interface to perform the install, or the installation
server is different that the boot server, enter the correct address. Do not
enter leading zeros in the address.
Gateway IP Address (Optional)
Specify the gateway address that this client system must go through in
order to access the server system. If the client and the server are on the
same subnet, it is recommended to re-enter the server’s IP address here.
Subnet Mask (Optional)
Specify the subnet mask, if required, for the client network interface to
contact the installation server.
Port Number (Required)
Specify the port number that accepts client connections as defined on the
TSM server. If you do not know the port number defined for the TSM
server, you must check the /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.opt file
located on the TSM server system.
Password (Required)
Specify the TSM client password that is associated with the Client Node
Name value. If you do not know the password of the client node name,
enter the password to administrative id created for this node which has
client owner authority. In most cases, this was automatically created when
you registered the node to the TSM server.
Note: If you do not know either password, you will have to log on to the
TSM server as an administrator and issue the command: update
node your_nodename new_password. Then enter that new
password into this field.
Token-ring Speed
Specify the correct token-ring speed when a token-ring device specified as
the network adapter.
Ethernet Interface (if applicable)
Specify either type of ethernet interface when an ethernet device is
specified as the network adapter. For example: IEEE 802.3
Ethernet Connection Type (if applicable)
Specify the connection type for the ethernet interface when an ethernet
adapter is specified. For example: BNC.
Once you have configured the installation device settings as desired, you will need
to query the TSM server and select the backup object to restore. The easiest way to
achieve this is to access the Change Volume Group & Logical Volume
Information menu. Selecting this menu after setting your tsmdev installation device
settings will cause SysBack to query the correct TSM server to obtain a list of
backup objects available for restore.
