Adding an IBM Storage Protect server with backup and restore

Edit online

If your hardware resources are limited, you can add an existing IBM Storage Protect server to a cluster by using a backup and restore procedure.

About this task

For example, suppose that you have no hardware other than the two server systems to be clustered. You plan to use the computer that is running the IBM Storage Protect server as a node. Complete this procedure to remove IBM Storage Protect from the computer and reinstall it in the cluster:

Procedure

  1. Back up all disk storage pools to a copy storage pool.
  2. Back up the database of the existing IBM Storage Protect server.
  3. Perform the installation and configuration of the cluster.
  4. Restore the database to the clustered IBM Storage Protect server.
  5. Restore the disk storage pool volumes from the copy storage pool.
  6. After you verify that all of your data is on the clustered server, delete the old server.
