Configure a Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) archive or backup

Export to TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) is not enabled by default. After you enable TSM, you can configure it for backups. Learn how to enable the service, and understand the configuration parameters that are used in the backup page.

Before you begin

Define a dsm.sys or dsm.opt configuration file on your server.
For Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) v7.1.8 or newer, you need a cert256.arm file. For more information, see Configuring the server to use the cert256.arm certificate.

Note: The dsm.sys or dsm.opt file and cert256.arm file must be located in the same directory.

About this task

Certificates are unique and cannot be reused on other Guardium servers.

Procedure

Enable TSM backup from the Guardium CLI by entering:
```
store storage-system TSN backup on
```
Import the dsm.sys or dsm.opt configuration file by using the CLI command import tsm config.
Guardium verifies the TSM version.

Is this Tivoli Storage Manager server <tsm server name> v7.1.8 or newer (y/n)?
```
If you are using TSM v7.1.8 or newer, type y. You are prompted to upload the cert256.arm file.
```
This appliance requires certificate authentication with <tsm server name>.
Is server certificate file ~/cert256.arm available now? (y/n)?
