Configuring TSM

To use IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM) with IBM Informix® databases, you must install and configure the Tivoli Storage Manager client on your database server computer and Tivoli Storage Manager on your storage computer.

You must also configure IBM Informix Interface for TSM and perform other TSM configuration tasks on your IBM Informix database server computer.

Starting with versions 8.1.2 and 7.1.8, Tivoli Storage Manager requires SSL communication between the client and the server, and therefore additional configuration steps must be followed:

To configure TSM:

  1. Edit the TSM client options files.
  2. Assign a TSM management class for the server to use for backups.
  3. Set the IBM Informix Interface for TSM environment variables.
  4. Register with the TSM server.
  5. Initialize the IBM Informix Interface for TSM.
  6. Optional. Configure ON-Bar to support optional TSM features.

The version of the XBSA shared library for TSM is 1.0.3.
