Open registration
With open registration, a system administrator can register your workstation as a client node with the IBM® Storage Protect version 8.1.1, version 8.1.0, version 7.1.7 or earlier server.
About this task
The first time you start a session, you are prompted for information necessary to register your workstation with the IBM Storage Protect server that is identified in your client options file. You need to supply your node name, a password, and contact information.
When you use open registration:
- Your client node is assigned to a policy domain named standard.
- You can delete archived copies of files from server storage, but not backup versions of files.
If necessary, your IBM Storage Protect administrator can change these defaults later.
