Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Administrator's Guide
|
|You must meet the following requirements when setting up Tivoli Data
|Protection for NDMP:
|
- | Operating System for the Tivoli Storage Manager Server
- |Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6 or later, or Windows 2000 with
|Service Pack 2 or later.
- |Tivoli Storage Manager
- |Both of the following products are required:
|
- |
Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Version 4.2.1 or
|later.
- |
Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP, a separately licensed program
|product.
|
- |NAS File Server
|
- |A Network Appliance File Server. The operating system on the file
|server must be supported by Tivoli Storage Manager. Visit http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html.
|The combination of file server model and operating system must be supported
|by Network Appliance. Visit http://netapp.com/products/filer/index.html.
- |Tape Library
|
|
- |A SCSI-attached or Fibre Channel-attached library that is supported by the
|Tivoli Storage Manager device driver. Visit http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html.
|The tape library is controlled by the Tivoli Storage Manager server using
|one of the following methods:
|
- |The Tivoli Storage Manager server directly controls the library, which is
|attached to the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
- |The Tivoli Storage Manager server indirectly controls the library.
|The library is attached to the NAS file server. The Tivoli Storage
|Manager server passes SCSI commands to the library through the NAS file
|server.
|
- |Library Sharing:
- |The Tivoli Storage Manager server that performs NDMP operations can
|be a library manager, but cannot be a library client. If the Tivoli
|Storage Manager server that performs NDMP operations is a library manager,
|that server must control the library directly and not by passing commands
|through the NAS file server.
|
- |Tape Drives
|
- |One or more tape drives in the tape library. The NAS file server
|must be able to access the drives. The drives must be supported by the
|Network Appliance file server and its operating system for tape backup
|operations. Visit http://netapp.com/products/filer/index.html.
- |Drive Sharing:
- |The tape drives can be shared by the Tivoli Storage Manager server
|and one or more NAS file servers. If the Tivoli Storage Manager server
|controls the library directly, the drives can be shared:
|
- |By one or more NAS file servers and one or more Tivoli Storage Manager
|library clients, if the drives are accessible to the library clients.
- |By one or more NAS file servers and one or more Tivoli Storage Manager
|storage agents, if the drives are accessible to the Tivoli Storage Manager
|server.
|
|
|
|Verify the compatibility of specific combinations of a NAS file server,
|tape devices, and SAN devices with the hardware manufacturers.
