After you install the Tivoli® Storage
Manager client
and Tivoli Storage FlashCopy® Manager,
you must set up a node name and password and register your node with
the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
About this task
When you register your node, you create a file space on
the Tivoli Storage
Manager server where
the backups of your data are stored. You must set up a client node
and a Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager node.
If you are protecting availability databases in an AlwaysOn Availability
Group, you must also register the AlwaysOn node.
Follow these
procedures if you installed the Tivoli Storage
Manager administrative
command-line client. If you did not install the administrative client,
the nodes must be registered on the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
Procedure
- Start an administrative client session by issuing the following
command in a Command Prompt window:
C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmadmc
- To register a client node, issue the following command:
reg node client_nodename password backdel=yes
Where client_nodename is
the node name for the client and password is the
password that you want to use for the client. The backdel=yes parameter
indicates that you can delete backup objects in your file space on
the server. For example:reg node doomvm3 doomvm3passwd backdel=yes
- To register a node,
issue the following command:
reg node sql_nodename password backdel=yes
Where sql_nodename is
the node name for the Data Protection node and password is
the password that you want to use for the SQL node. The backdel=yes parameter
indicates that you can delete backup objects in your file space on
the server.For example:
reg node doomvm3_sql doomvm3sqlpasswd backdel=yes
Tip: To easily identify the node as a node for ,
add "_sql" to the end of the node name.
- To register the AlwaysOn node, issue the following command:
reg node alwayson_nodename password backdel=yes
Where alwayson_nodename is
the name for the AlwaysOn node and password is
the password that you want to use for the AlwaysOn node. The backdel=yes parameter
indicates that you can delete backup objects in your file space on
the server. For example:reg node myalwaysonnode alwaysonpasswd backdel=yes
What to do next
To use
Tivoli Storage
Manager server policy
sets, the
Tivoli Storage
Manager must
define the policy domains, policy sets, management classes, copy groups,
and storage pools. These definitions are necessary to meet your
Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager backup
and restore requirements. For
VSS operations,
Tivoli Storage
Manager server authentication
must be on.
