Setting Up Monthly Backup for UNIX

[DaJuRan]

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone has any input on the following issue/configuration.

Essentially we have two UNIX systems that we backup, currently we backup each on a daily basis and we do a monthly backup which we have a seperate policy setup for. Currently to run the monthly backup we manually edit the dsm.sys to change the node-name as we have two nodes setup one for daily and one for monthly.

In the windows environment we can have the two dsm.opt files, one for daily and one for monthly and have them running without issues from the schedule. Prior to myself as administrator for TSM, we had been informed that for UNIX couldn't have the same setup as with windows in being able to have the two different schedular services running essentially each linked to a dsm.opt file. However in a recent health check we had with a TSM consultant from IBM we had asked the question and was informed that should be able to setup the two scheulding on UNIX to not have to manually intervene.

Just wondering if anyone could provide any information or good references to review for such configurations.

Thanks,
DaJ

Hi,

For monthly backup configuration, we have to mention 2 instance entry in dsm.sys and also have to create separate opt file(dsm_mo.opt) for monthly backup.

Step1:

In dsm.sys, have mention two stances like below

SErvername daily
NODename dailynodename
COMMmethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
compression no
passwordaccess generate
TCPWindowsize 64
TCPBuffsize 32
TCPNodelay Yes
TXNBytelimit 25600
LARGECOMmbuffers Yes
SCHEDLOGname /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmsched.log
SCHEDLOGRetention 7,D
ERRORLOGname /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmerror.log
ERRORLOGRetention 7,D
Schedmode Prompted

SErvername monthly
NODename monthlynodename
COMMmethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
compression no
passwordaccess generate
TCPWindowsize 64
TCPBuffsize 32
TCPNodelay Yes
TXNBytelimit 25600
LARGECOMmbuffers Yes
SCHEDLOGname /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmsched.log
SCHEDLOGRetention 7,D
ERRORLOGname /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmerror.log
ERRORLOGRetention 7,D
Schedmode Prompted

step 2:

create new opt file (dsm_mo.opt) with below line

SErvername monthly

step 3:

update tsm password

dsmc set password node_tsm_password node_tsm_passoword -se=monthly

step 4:

after password update, login to monthly node like below and take backup

dsmc -se=monthly


Thanks
