The wizard offers a guided approach to configuring
a server. By using the graphical user interface (GUI), you can avoid
some configuration steps that are complex when done manually. Start
the wizard on the system where you installed the IBM Spectrum Protect™ server program.
Before you begin
Before you use the configuration wizard, you must complete all preceding steps to prepare
for the configuration. These steps include installing
IBM
Spectrum Protect, creating the database and log directories, and
creating the directories and user ID for the server instance.
Procedure
- Ensure that the following requirements are met:
- The system where you installed IBM
Spectrum Protect must
have the X Window System client. You must also be running an X Window System server on your
desktop.
- The system must have the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol enabled. Ensure that the port is set to the
default value, 22, and that the port is not blocked by a firewall. You must enable password
authentication in the sshd_config file in the /etc/ssh/
directory. Also, ensure that the SSH daemon service has access rights for connecting to the system
by using the localhost value.
- You must be able to log in to the system with the user ID that you created for the server
instance, by using the SSH protocol. When you use the wizard, you must provide this user ID and
password to access that system.
- Start the local version of the wizard:
- Open the dsmicfgx program in the
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin directory. This wizard can be run only by using the
root user ID.
Follow the instructions to complete the configuration. The
wizard can be stopped and restarted, but the server is not operational
until the entire configuration process is complete.
