Completing the implementation

After the IBM Storage Protect solution is configured and running, test backup operations and set up monitoring to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Procedure

  1. Test backup operations to verify that your data is protected in the way that you expect.
    1. On the Clients page of the Operations Center, select the clients that you want to back up, and click Back Up.
    2. On the Servers page of the Operations Center, select the server for which you want to back up the database. Click Back Up, and follow the instructions in the Back Up Database window.
    3. Verify that the backup operations completed successfully with no warning or error messages.
      Tip: Alternatively, you can use the backup-archive client GUI to back up client data and you can backup the server database by issuing BACKUP DB command from an administrative command-line.
  2. Set up monitoring for your solution by following the instructions in Monitoring a single-site disk solution.
