For the TSM client on the primary node by referring to "A setup of the TSM server in the cluster node 1" and in "If the TSM server is in an active/standby configuration" of the "ETERNUS SF TSM PRIMECLUSTER Application Guide".
The following key points relate to the TSM cluster settings required for tape server transactions
The following setup commands are executed in a setup of the TSM server on the cluster node 1.
# cd /opt/tivoli/tsm/CLUS # ./tsmclset_safe -k Primary -m mount point of shared disk for TSM -n logical node name -s transaction name |
No other options are necessary in order to read information from a TSM cluster setup information file.
Please refer to "Preparing the TSM Cluster Setup Information File" about a TSM cluster setup information file.
A special file name must be set for drives on the tape device used by the TSM server on node 1. For details, refer to the "ETERNUS SF TSM PRIMECLUSTER Application Guide", section "If the TSM server is in an active/standby configuration" > "TSM server settings on cluster node 1".
Execute the command below to check the special file name to be set.
For LT20/LT40/LT60 (non-IBM drives)
#ls -l /dev/rmt/*[0-9] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Feb 27 15:07 /dev/rmt/1 -> ../../devices/pci@17,4000/fibre-channel@4/mt@1,0: ... # |
For LT220/LT230/LT250/LT270 (IBM drives)
#ls -l /dev/rmt/*st lrwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 57 Apr 22 13:28 /dev/rmt/2st -> ../../devices/pci@15,2000/fibre-channel@1/IBMtape@1,0:st # |
When creating (i.e., formatting) the database for the TSM server, set the TSM database size as calculated by the formula in "3.2.3 Capacity of Shared Disks for TSM"
When creating (i.e., formatting) the amount of space required for the restoration log, specify a value of 128 (MB) or more. Specify sufficient log space to take into account future changes to backup operations.
