Installing the IBM Spectrum Protect server on a production node for PowerHA

Install the IBM Spectrum® Protect server on a production node for PowerHA® to be able to configure the server for clustering.

Complete the following steps to install the IBM Spectrum Protect server on the production node:

1. Install IBM Spectrum Protect. Select one of the following components:
   • The IBM Spectrum Protect server
   • The IBM Spectrum Protect device driver, if needed
   • The IBM Spectrum Protect license

   The executable files are typically installed on the internal disks of the production node, not on the shared IBM Spectrum Protect disk space. IBM Spectrum Protect server executable files are installed in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin directory.

2. Configure IBM Spectrum Protect to use the TCP/IP communication method.
   For instructions, see the information about configuring a server instance in AIX: Taking the first steps after you install IBM Spectrum Protect.
3. Define a new user ID that owns the IBM Spectrum Protect server instance or use an existing user ID that does not already own an IBM Spectrum Protect instance.
   While logged in to the instance user ID, complete the following steps:
   1. Create an instance directory by using the mkdir command on a shared file system that can fail over to the standby system. This disk must be defined to PowerHA.
   2. Create the database and log directories by using the mkdir command on shared file systems that can fail over to the standby system. These disks must also be defined to PowerHA to fail over.
   3. Complete the configuration by using the dsmicfgx wizard.
