Setting up IBM Storage Protect Snapshot on a backup server

To set up IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot on a backup server separately, complete the following steps on the backup server.

Procedure

Prepare the instance that is to be configured.

Install IBM Storage Protect Snapshot on the backup server.
For more information about how to install the product, see Installing in interactive mode.
Activate the instance on the backup server.
For more information about how to activate an instance, see Activating an instance.
Log on to the backup system with the instance owner user ID.
If standard CA-signed certificates are not used for server authentication, copy the fcmselfcert.arm file of the production system to the instance directory on the backup system.
```
cd <instance directory> 
scp <instance owner>@<production server>:<instance directory>/fcmselfcert.arm . 
```
Check the backup server for the ACS_DIR directory. Use the following command to create the directory:
```
mkdir -p <ACS_DIR>
```
Copy the <ACS_DIR>/shared directory on the production system to the ACS_DIR directory on the backup system:
```
cd <ACS_DIR> 
scp -r <instance owner>@<production server>:<ACS_DIR>/shared .
```
From the instance directory, run the setup script.
```
cd <instance directory>
./setup_gen.sh
```
Follow the prompts, ensuring to select On-Site Backup System configuration.
When you are asked for the Hostname and port of machine running Management Agent (ACSD), enter the hostname of the production server, and the port of the management agent.

If the default port 57328 is used, entering the hostname is sufficient. When asked for the device classes to use for this backup system, enter the backup device classes that the server is to be used for.
