Postinstallation and post-configuration tasks

After you install IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot, you can set up extra backup and clone servers.

Launch the Configuration Wizard to configure IBM Storage Protect Snapshot for Oracle on multiple backup servers from the production server when you install Open Secure Shell (OpenSSH) enabling backup servers for remote installation and configuration. NFS shares between the production server and backup server are not required for this type of remote installation.

Upgrades and reconfiguration must be run only from the master production server node.

If OpenSSH is not available, follow the instructions for Setting up IBM Storage Protect Snapshot separately on backup or clone servers and launch the Configuration Wizard. Choose Manage protected databases and step through the panels. Before you run the Configuration Wizard on a backup or clone server, stop IBM Storage Protect Snapshot on the production server. For details about how to stop an activated IBM Storage Protect Snapshot instance, see IBM Storage Protect Snapshot commands and scripts.

Typically, it is not necessary to run the Configuration Wizard on the backup server after the initial configuration. Exceptions to this rule include:

The use of alternative storage hardware might require a reconfiguration of IBM Storage Protect Snapshot on the backup server.
Changes to the scheduling policy for offloaded IBM Storage Protect backups might require you to configure the backup server again.
If self-signed certificates are used, all changes to the certificates require a reconfiguration of the backup server.
If OpenSSH is not used, you must copy the fcmselfcert.arm file to the backup server before running the Configuration Wizard to configure the backup server again.

In these cases, stop IBM Storage Protect Snapshot on the production server before reconfiguring the backup server. Otherwise, you are prompted to stop IBM Storage Protect Snapshot on the production server.
