Managing operations
Use this information to manage operations for a single-site disk solution with IBM Spectrum Protect™ that includes a server and uses data deduplication for a single location.
- Managing the Operations Center
The Operations Center provides web and mobile access to status information about the IBM Spectrum Protect environment. You can use the Operations Center to monitor multiple servers and to complete some administrative tasks. The Operations Center also provides web access to the IBM Spectrum Protect command line. - Protecting applications, virtual machines, and systems
The server protects data for clients, which can include applications, virtual machines, and systems. To start protecting client data, register the client node with the server and select a backup schedule to protect the client data. - Managing data storage
Manage your data for efficiency and add supported devices and media to the server to store client data. - Securing the IBM Spectrum Protect server
Secure the IBM Spectrum Protect server and data by controlling access to servers and client nodes, encrypting data, and maintaining secure access levels and passwords. - Stopping and starting the server
Before you complete maintenance or reconfiguration tasks, stop the server. Then, start the server in maintenance mode. When you are finished with the maintenance or reconfiguration tasks, restart the server in production mode. - Planning to upgrade the server
When a fix pack or interim fix becomes available, you can upgrade the IBM Spectrum Protect server to take advantage of product improvements. Servers and clients can be upgraded at different times. Ensure that you complete the planning steps before you upgrade the server. - Implementing a disaster recovery plan
Implement a disaster recovery strategy to recover your applications if a disaster occurs and to ensure high server availability. - Recovering from system outages
For IBM Spectrum Protect single-site disk solutions, you can recover the inventory locally only and restore the database to protect your data.
