Configuring a Linux environment for clustering
You can configure the IBM Spectrum Protect™ Linux server in a clustered environment by using IBM® Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms Version 3.2.2.
- Overview of a two-node IBM Spectrum Protect cluster using Tivoli System Automation
Use the Tivoli System Automation cluster for higher server and database availability during a failure. By using the Tivoli System Automation failover function, server components such as the database can automatically recover from a failure. - Setting up an IBM Spectrum Protect cluster with Tivoli System Automation
You must set up the IBM Spectrum Protect cluster to use Tivoli System Automation. - Prerequisites to configuring a Linux clustered environment with Tivoli System Automation
Before you install and configure IBM Spectrum Protect in a clustered environment with Tivoli System Automation, you must check the prerequisites. - Installing and configuring IBM Spectrum Protect components on the primary and secondary nodes
You must install the IBM Spectrum Protect server and database components on the primary and secondary nodes in the cluster. Then, configure the primary node first followed by the secondary node. - Installing Tivoli System Automation on the primary and secondary nodes
After you install and configure IBM Spectrum Protect on the primary and secondary nodes in the cluster, you must install and configure Tivoli System Automation on these nodes. Then, you must activate these nodes for the domain, configure the resources, and activate the base policy. Finally, you must add the mount points to the IBM Spectrum Protect directories. - Configuring storage resources
Use the Tivoli System Automation user interface or command line to add or delete storage resources and to delete mount points that are no longer required. If you add a storage pool to the cluster, you must add it to the resource group. If you remove a storage pool from the cluster, you must also delete it from the resource group. - Upgrading a server that is configured with Tivoli System Automation
You can upgrade a server that is configured with Tivoli System Automation from Version 6.3 or Version 7.1.
