You can authorize a user on another node to restore your
backup versions or retrieve your archive copies. In this way, you
can share files with other people or with other workstations that
you use with a different node name.
You can also authorize other nodes to access the automated
system recovery (ASR) file space.
Another node can be used to
create the ASR diskette so that the workstation can be recovered using
ASR and Tivoli® Storage Manager.
Use the other node if a problem occurs with the workstation and the
ASR diskette of the workstation is not available.
To authorize
another node to restore or retrieve your files:
- Click Utilities → Node Access List from the
main window.
- In the Node Access List window, click the Add button.
- In the Add Access Rule window, select an item in
the Permit Access field to specify the type of data that the
other user can access. You can select either Backed up Objects or Archived
Objects.
- Type the node name of the user in the Grant Access to
Node field. Type the node name of the host workstation of the
user in the Grant Access to Node field.
- Type the user ID on the host workstation in the User field.
- In the Filespace and Directory field, select the
file space and the directory that the user can access. You can select
one file space and one directory at a time. If you want to give the
user access to another file space or directory, you must create another
access rule.
- If you want to limit the user to specific files in the
directory, type the name or pattern of the files on the server that
the other user can access in the Filename field. You can make
only one entry in the Filename field. It can either be a single
file name or a pattern that matches one or more files. You can use
a wildcard character as part of the pattern. Your entry must match
files that have been stored on the server.
- If you want to give access to all files that match the
file name specification within the selected directory including its
subdirectories, click Include subdirectories.
- Click OK to save the access rule and close the Add
Access Rule window.
- The access rule that you created is displayed in the list
box in the Node Access List window. When you have finished
working with the Node Access List window, click OK.
If you do not want to save your changes, click Cancel or close
the window.
For example, to give the node user2 access to all backup
files and subdirectories under the
d:\user1 directory,
create a rule with the following values:
Permit Access to: Backed up Objects
Grant Access to Node: user2
Filespace and Directory: d:\user1
Filename: *
Include subdirectories: Selected
The node you are authorizing must be registered
with your Tivoli Storage Manager server.
On
the command line of the client, use the set access command
to authorize another node to restore or retrieve your files. You can
also use the query access command to see your current
list, and delete access to delete nodes from the
list.
