TSM Edition Quick Start

The following steps are for SBAdmin TSM Edition. It is assumed that the SBAdmin interface is running, and the SBAdmin Client/Server
software is installed on the TSM nodes. It is not necessary to install SBAdmin software on the TSM server (unless it is also a node to
backup). The following steps describe how to configure a client (node) and a TSM server, create a backup job which writes a system
backup from a node to the TSM server, and make CDROM ISO boot media to be used for performing system recovery.

1. Create the SBADMIN Management Class

All SBAdmin backups will be stored under a TSM
management class named SBADMIN. This management class
is created on the TSM server (not within SBAdmin) and must
not allow versioning.

To create the management class:

b. Define

the

SBADMIN Management Class by typing:

DEFINE MGMTCLASS policydomain policyset
SBADMIN

(where policydomain and policyset are names defined in
your TSM server configuration)

Define a new Copygroup by typing:

DEFINE COPYGROUP policydomain policyset
SBADMIN type=backup destination=backuppool
verexists=1 retonly=0

d. Activate

the

Policyset by typing:

ACTIVATE POLICYSET policydomain policyset

2. Configure

Clients/Nodes

A client is a system that will be backed up using SBAdmin.
Each client should already be registered as a TSM node on
the TSM server.

Note: The Administrator must be configured as a SBAdmin
client so that it may manage all backup operations.

To add a client:

a. Select

Configure

!Clients

from the

menu bar. The TSM

Clients (nodes) window will appear.

b. In

the

Client Hostname/IP field, type the hostname or IP

address of the client.

c. The

NODEname field will default to the hostname you

entered, but you may change it if the nodename is
different.

If the TSM server will be using “PASSWORDAccess
PROMPT” then you must provide the Node Password
when configuring the client/node.

Refer to the

SBAdmin TSM Edition User Guide

section

Configuring Clients for further documentation.

3. Configuring TSM Servers

When configuring a TSM server, you will need to know the
following:

•

PASSWORDAccess method

•

TSM Administrator UserID (must have System or
Policy privilege)

•

TSM Administrator Password

•

TCPPort used by TSM server

a. Select

Configure

!Servers

from the menu bar. The

Configure TSM Servers window will appear.

b. In

the

TSM Server Name field, type the name you wish to

use to identify this server. This may be any name you
like.

Note: The TCPServeraddress will default to the server
name you enter. If you did not use the hostname or IP
address of the TSM server in the Server Name field, you
must enter the hostname or IP address of the server
here.

c. Select

the

PASSWORDAccess method.

d. Enter

the

TSM Admin UserID and the TSM Admin

Password.

Change the default TCPPort of 1500 to another value
only if configured differently for your TSM server.

Press the

Add/Change

button to save the server information.

Then you may close the Configure TSM Servers window.

Refer to the

SBAdmin TSM Edition User Guide

section

Configuring TSM Servers for further documentation.

4. Creating a System Backup Job

A backup job must be created before any backup may be
performed. There are many features and options available
when configuring backup jobs that are not included in this
document. Refer to the section

Backup Jobs

in the

SBAdmin

User Guide

for further documentation.

To configure a backup job:

a. Select

Configure

!Backup Jobs

from the menu bar and

the Configure Backup Job screen will display.

b. Enter

Job ID to identify this job.

Select the TSM server from the from the TSM Server
Name listbox

d. From

the

Profile Name listbox, select the

“FULL_SYSTEM” profile.
