Preparing a custom application or database instance for configuration

Edit online

Before you configure the IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot instance on the backup system, you must prepare the instance as the application instance owner of the backup system.

Procedure

As the application instance owner of the backup system, copy the fcmselfcert.arm file from the production server to the backup server INSTANCE_DIR directory.
Copy the password file from the production system to the backup system. Paste the file into the $HOME/acs of the application instance owner. If this directory does not exist, create it with the following command.
```
mkdir -p $HOME/acs/shared 
cd $HOME/acs/shared 
scp Application_instance_owner@production_system:<ACS_DIR>/shared/pwd.acsd
```
Run the setup script as the Application instance owner from the INSTANCE_DIR directory.
Running the script from this directory, configures the IBM Storage Protect Snapshot instance.
```
cd Application_instance_owner_$HOME_directory/sqllib/acs 
./setup_gen.sh
```
