Tivoli Storage Manager TSM

How to setup the backup for your computer

These are the installation instructions I got from Matthias Feyerabend. If you want your machine to be in the daily backup, write him an email M.Feyerabend@gsi.de with your computername (sdpcxxxx) and tell him to integrate your machin in he backup. When you received an answer, do the following steps.

Get install image:

http://www.scc.kit.edu/backupbw/ (choose the correct version)

get image TSM534C_X32.exe

Install instructions are under

TSM534C_X32_README_enu.htm, basically:

the installation involves two phases:

    1. Extract the install image to your hard drive.
    2. Install the client from the install image.

and:

Installing a custom dsm.opt file

If you want to install a custom dsm.opt file, place a copy of the file in the ..\config directory located within the install image:

E:\tsm_images\TSM_BA_Client\baclient\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\config

The file must be named dsm.opt.

The custom dsm.opt file will not be installed if a dsm.opt file already exists in the ..\baclient directory.

Configuring:

1. To configure you need at least these two options:

tcpserveraddress slxtsm1.gsi.de tcpport 1500

Enter the values when prompted from a wizard or write them into a file E:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsm.opt

2. To get automatic backup during night, you have to do:

a. login as localadmin.

b. DOS command prompt and execute:

cd /d E:\“program files”\tivoli\tsm\baclient

c. execute command

dsmcutil inst /name:“TSM Client Scheduler” /node:XXXXX /password:XXXXX /autostart:yes

(change XXXXX to your nodename! (for example sdpc0815)

3. The following rights are needed for normal users to do backup and restore (see the pictures below):

  • Do not set the right for the user 'Mueller' but for yourself!!!
  • Member of backup operators group (rights to do backup and restore)
  • Manage auditing and security logs

Do you find the bug ?

There is a bug in the following C-Code, can you find it? 8-) Some compilers seem not to follow the C++ standard and correct the error “on their own”. In this case, assume that you have a good old standard C++ compiler.

#include <stdio.h>

int square(int arg) {
	return arg*arg;
}
int cube(int arg) {
	return arg*arg*arg;
}
int main() 
{
	int x;
	x = 5;
	/* Calculate 5^2 + 6^3 */
	printf("Result: %d", square(x) + cube(++x));
	getchar();
	return 0;
}

You found the bug or have a question? → r.haseitl@gsi.de
