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

Edit online

Install the IBM Storage Protect server on a production node for PowerHA® to be able to configure the server for clustering.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to install the IBM Storage Protect server on the production node:

  1. Install IBM Storage Protect. Select one of the following components:
    • The IBM Storage Protect server
    • The IBM Storage Protect device driver, if needed
    • The IBM Storage Protect license

    The executable files are typically installed on the internal disks of the production node, not on the shared IBM Storage Protect disk space. IBM Storage Protect server executable files are installed in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin directory.

  2. Configure IBM Storage Protect to use the TCP/IP communication method.
    For instructions, see the information about configuring a server instance in AIX: Taking the first steps after you install IBM Storage Protect.
  3. Define a new user ID that owns the IBM Storage Protect server instance or use an existing user ID that does not already own an IBM Storage Protect instance.
    While logged in to the instance user ID, complete the following steps:
    1. Create an instance directory by using the mkdir command on a shared file system that can fail over to the standby system. This disk must be defined to PowerHA.
    2. Create the database and log directories by using the mkdir command on shared file systems that can fail over to the standby system. These disks must also be defined to PowerHA to fail over.
    3. Complete the configuration by using the dsmicfgx wizard.
