Can i copy Management Classes, Domains, Schedules, Nodes etc.?

[Johnny Watson]

Can i copy Management Classes, Domains, Schedules, Nodes etc. from one server to another with out moving actual data?

I guess im asking if I can move just server configurations.

Thanks in advance.

You can export policy domains.

tsm: TSM>help export policy
3.23.3 EXPORT POLICY (Export policy information)

Use this command to export policy information from a Tivoli Storage
Manager server to sequential media or directly to another server for
immediate import.

Note:
      1. If target and source server levels are not compatible, the
         operation may not work. See the Administrator's Guide for
         server compatibility requirements.
      2. Exporting data to a CENTERA device class is not supported.
         However, files stored in CENTERA storage pools can be exported.

The server exports policy information, such as:

*  Policy domain definitions
*  Policy set definitions, including the active policy set
*  Management class definitions, including the default management class
*  Backup copy group and archive copy group definitions
*  Schedule definitions for each policy domain
*  Client node associations, if the client node exists on the target
   server

Hi Guys

Can i know the difference between BACLIENT and Storage Agent?
should i install both in same box

 

[mccleld]

By 'BACLIENT' you're referring to the TSM Backup Archive Client - the application which performs backups and restores to a TSM Server.

The TSM SAN Storage Agent is an optional component which, in tandem with a TSM Backup Archive Client, can perform LANfree backups and restores of data directly to/from SAN storage (most usually tape).

I would say that you would almost certainly wish to have the BA Client installed on the same server as a SAN Storage Agent.

Hope this helps,
