IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Preparing to export to another server for immediate import

When you export data to another server on the network, the export results in an immediate import on the target server. You can export data to a Tivoli® Storage Manager server of the same or different operating system as the originating server.

About this task

A server-to-server export operation performs the following steps:
  1. Opens a session with the target server.
  2. Authenticates with the administrator's user ID and password.
  3. Starts the equivalent of an IMPORT SERVER process.
Before you export data to another server on the network, perform the following tasks:

Procedure

  1. Install Tivoli Storage Manager on the target server. This includes defining disk space for the database and recovery log, and defining initial server storage. For more information, refer toInstallation Guide.
  2. Consider setting up enterprise configuration for the target server so you can distribute consistent backup and archive policies to the target server.
  3. Issue the DEFINE SERVER command to define the name of the target server or the originating server.
  4. Ensure that the administrator that issues the export command is defined with the same administrator name and password on the target server, and has System authority on the target server.
