Installing the IBM Storage Protect client on a production node for PowerHA

You need to install only the backup-archive client file set, which contains the backup-archive client files and the administrative command-line client.

Procedure

For detailed instructions on installing the IBM Storage Protect client, see Installing the backup-archive clients.

Complete the following steps to install the IBM Storage Protect client on the production node.

  1. Install the IBM Storage Protect client executable files in the /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin directory.
    These files are typically installed on the internal disks of the production node.
  2. For the client to find the server, ensure that the client options file, dsm.sys, points to the IBM Storage Protect server. The server name in dsm.sys is used only on the -servername parameter of the dsmadmc command to specify the server to be contacted.
