Additional Notes
1. TSM exclude list processing does not affect SBAdmin backups. You must define your exclude lists
(files, directories, filesystems or devices to exclude) within SBAdmin.
2. The compression option in the TSM server options will be ignored if you have set a SBAdmin backup
job to use compression. To use TSM compression, turn off SBAdmin compression and turn on the
compression option in the server options.
3. LAN-free backups are not supported.
4. Communication method of “shared” (shared memory) is not supported. This option would only allow a
backup of the TSM server to itself, which would be useless for full system recovery of the TSM server.
5. The Tivoli environment variables used by TSM and other API client applications are not used by
SBAdmin. These include DSMI_CONFIG, DSMI_DIR and DSMI_LOG. Configuration files are
generated on the admin system and transferred to each client automatically. SBAdmin uses its own
TSM configuration files in the
/storix/config/tsm directory (where /storix is the data directory defined
when you initially installed the software). This prevents any conflicts with other software using the TSM
API client.
