Hello all,
I'm having troubles absorbing all the documentation on the IBM website, so perhaps you folks could lend me a hand. Our company has the newest version of TSM EE, and I've been tasked to back up both our AIX and Linux servers to the server via the CLI client. Installing the CLI wasn't a problem, it's more about configuring both the client, and the server to accept this new connection.
First, I'd like to mention that when I create an account for our customers to backup and archive their files via the Windows GUI, what I would do is log into the Integrated Solutions Console and create a new node with a password. This was how I learned how to set up new accounts. It doesn't appear to be the same when it comes to the CLI version and the configuration files, which makes me wonder if I am setting up new accounts correctly in the first place.
Okay, with that said, here's what I did to configure the TSM Client, as well as configuring the server to accept this new connection:
1) Installed the API and BA .rpm's
2) Went into /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin and used the following information for dsm.sys:
SErvername backup.foo.com
COMMMethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress backup.foo.com
inclexcl /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/tsm-includes
3) I then edited the tsm-includes file, which contains:
exclude.dir /bin
exclude.dir /dev
exclude.dir /lib
exclude.dir /media
exclude.dir /misc
exclude.dir /mnt
exclude.dir /proc
exclude.dir /sbin
exclude.dir /selinux
exclude.dir /srv
exclude.dir /sys
exclude.dir /tmp
include /home/*
include /var/log/*
include /var/spool/*
include /var/www/*
include /etc/*
include /boot/*
include /opt/*
include /root/*
include /usr/*
4) Logged onto the Integrated Solutions Console and added a new node:
Username: newnode
Password: password
I made "Assign owner authority to selected administrator" set to ADMIN
5) Went to the linux box and tried to issue the backup client via CLI:
[root@foo bin]# dsmc archive /root/Tivoli\ Storage\ Manager\ Client\ v5.3.2\ for\ Linux.tar.gz
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
Command Line Backup/Archive Client Interface

What am I doing wrong? It appears I'm not setting up users correctly, or am missing a step. How would I do that, or what am I missing?
Also, what do I need to do to get this to do an incremental backup every day at 11:59pm?
If I am missing any other items that I need to do in order to get this working, please let me know. Thanks in advance!!
