21.1 Basic assumptions We assume that a Tivoli Storage Manager server is already installed and configured for backup and restore. If this is a brand new installation, you will need to perform Tivoli Storage Manager server configuration first. Note: It is expected that the commands described in this chapter are familiar to the Tivoli Storage Manager administrator; otherwise, refer to Part 1, "Introduction" on page 1, or the Administrator's Guide. Generally, when using data protection modules, there are two major tasks that have to be performed on the Tivoli Storage Manager server: Define policy requirements. Register the node. 21.2 Policy creation requirements Tivoli Storage Manager policies are used to specify how files are backed up, archived, migrated from client node storage, and managed in server storage. Because the policy requirements for data protection backups are different from the desired settings for regular Tivoli Storage Manager backup clients, a different management class must be defined with Tivoli Storage Manager for managing data protection backups. You have two options to do this: Define a management class in an existing policy domain. Define a new policy domain. 21.2.1 Defining a management class in an existing policy domain This management class will be used for backup by the data protection module. Example 21-1 creates a TDP_CLASS management class within an existing policy domain and policy set, both called STANDARD. It also creates the backup and archive copygroups containing the actual backup version and retention requirements. Example 21-1 Define TDP management class and copygroups tsm: ATLANTIC> define mgmtclass STANDARD STANDARD TDP_CLASS ANR1520I Management class TDP_CLASS defined in policy domain STANDARD, set STANDARD. 682 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Guide
