Running IBM Storage Protect client tasks

Set up a IBM Storage Protect schedule for Domino with the backup archive-client setup wizard.

This example assumes that the IBM Storage Protect backup-archive client is installed on the Domino® server in the default installation directory (c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient) directory. It also assumes that the Data Protection for IBM® Domino for the Domino server is stored in the default installation directory (c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\domino) directory. The options files in each of the installation directories must be updated so that the communication parameters point to the IBM Storage Protect server.
  1. Start the backup archive client GUI.
  2. In the menu, go to Utilities –> Setup Wizard.
  3. When the TSM Client Configuration Wizard opens, select Help me configure the TSM Client Scheduler and click Next.
  4. Follow the prompts to install a new scheduler service. You need the following information:
    • Schedule name.
    • IBM Storage Protect options file.
    • IBM Storage Protect node name.
    • IBM Storage Protect node name password.
    • Schedule log file.
    • Schedule error log file.
  5. The options file that is defined by Data Protection for HCL Domino is used by the scheduler when it is validating the node and password. The options file is also used when it contacts the IBM Storage Protect server for schedule information. The example assumes that the dsm.opt file is updated so that the communication parameters point to the IBM Storage Protect server to which the Domino databases are to be backed up.
    If the following message is shown:
    A communications error occurred connecting to the 
    IBM Storage Protect server
    Ensure that the options file contains entries that point to the correct IBM Storage Protect server. Also, ensure that the IBM Storage Protect server is running.
  6. Create a batch file that is called c:\domarc.cmd. In the directory where Data Protection for HCL Domino was installed, there is a sample command file, domarc.smp. You can use this sample as a starting point to coding this command file.

    When you are using the IBM Storage Protect scheduler to run the commands in a command file, you must use the complete path names for all file names and non-system commands. The scheduler runs from the Windows 2003 system directory where the scheduler service looks for input and produces its output by default.

  7. The scheduler is installed and configured, but is not started.
    To start the service, issue the following command in the Windows console window:
      net start "IBM Storage Protect Data Protection for Domino Archive Schedule"
    The following output is displayed:
    The IBM Storage Protect Data Protection for Domino Archive 
    Schedule service is starting. 
    
    The IBM Storage Protect Data Protection for Domino Archive 
    Schedule service was started successfully. 

    Note, because the /autostart:yes option is used, the IBM Storage Protect scheduler is automatically started each time the Windows system is rebooted.

    Your system is now ready to run automatic hourly archival of the transactions logs.
