Configuring full cluster backups to directly attached tape devices
You can configure Tivoli® Storage Manager to back up all volumes in a NetApp cluster to a directly attached tape device.
About this task
The preferred practice is to back up the full cluster by using a node and data mover that are associated with the clusterwide network. In this way, you ensure that the backup data is owned by a single Tivoli Storage Manager node. Even if you move volumes within the cluster, backup operations continue and no reconfiguration is required.
Use this procedure as a starting point. For the latest information about backing up NetApp clusters, see technote 7046965.
