Setting up Netezza Performance Server host client

Deployment options: IBM Netezza Appliance

About this task

You can install the 32-bit or 64-bit IBM® Spectrum Protect (formerly Tivoli® Storage Manager) client software on your Netezza Performance Server host system to enable the integration. You can obtain the Tivoli Storage Manager client software from IBM.

To install the Tivoli Storage Manager client software on the Netezza Performance Server system, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Netezza Performance Server system as the root user.
  2. Place the Tivoli Storage Manager UNIX client disk in the drive.
  3. Mount the CD/DVD by using either of the following commands:
    • mount /media/cdrom
    • mount /media/cdrecorder

    If you are not sure which command to use, run the ls /media command to display the path name (cdrom or cdrecorder) to use.

  4. To change to the mount point, use the cd command and specify the mount path name that you used in step 3.
    This guide uses the term /mountPoint to refer to the applicable disk mount point location on your system, as used in step 3. 
    cd /mountPoint
  5. Change to the directory where the packages are stored, for example: 
    cd /mountPoint/tsmcli/linux86
  6. Enter the following commands to install the 32-bit Tivoli Storage Manager ADSM API and the Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive (BA) client.
    The BA client is optional, but it is recommended because it provides helpful features such as the ability to cache passwords for Tivoli Storage Manager access and also to create scheduled commands.
    rpm -i TIVsm-API.i386.rpm
rpm -i TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm

What to do next

Make sure that you use the default installation directories for the clients (which are usually /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api and /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba). After the installation completes, proceed to the next section to configure the Netezza Performance Server as a client.
