COMMMethod
This will be displayed as “TCPIP”, which is the only option supported. The only other TSM option is
“shared” (shared memory), which can only be used when backing up the server itself. The shared memory
option provides no significant performance increase and is not supported by SBAdmin.
COMPRESSion
A selection of “yes” simply indicates that TSM will compress backup data on the client before sending to the
server. It is important to note, however, that SBAdmin provides its own compression options (see
Configuring a Backup Profile ). If you choose to use SBAdmin compression, then no TSM compression will
be used regardless of your selection here. If you want to use TSM compression, you should select “yes” in
this field, and do not indicate to use compression within your backup profile (the default). Different
compression schemes work best on different types of data and sizes of files. You should therefore
experiment with using both TSM and SBAdmin compression options to determine which provides the best
compression with the least impact on the client system performance.
To add a new server, enter a name in the entry field at the top, then add or change any of the fields on the
screen, then click the
Save button.
Changing a Server
The information for an existing server may be changed by either:
1. Selecting Configure !Servers!Backup Media Servers from the menu bar, or
2. Selecting a server icon from the Main Screen when the Clients, Servers and Devices are displayed,
then press the Change Server button at the bottom of the screen.
If selected from the main screen, the server options screen will appear with the prior settings for the server. If
not, select the server by typing the name (or IP address) at the top, or use the arrow button to the left of the
entry field to select from a list of configured servers. Simply add or change any of the information on the screen,
then press the
Save button at the bottom to save the changes.
Removing a Server
A server may be removed from the system only if there are no jobs currently assigned to it. If there are jobs
assigned, you will be informed so, and you must
remove or change the job to use a different server before the
server may be removed.
Only the admin system and group that originally created a server may remove it.
Doing so makes it inaccessible to any client or group with prior access.
If you defined the server (previously created by another group) to your group, then
removing it will only remove access to your group, and will not affect access by
other groups.
To remove a server, either:
Select Configure !Servers!Backup Media Servers from the menu bar, then select the server by typing
the name (or IP address) at the top, or use the arrow button to the left of the entry field to select from a
list of configured servers. To remove the server, then press the
Remove button at the bottom of the
screen.
