Tivoli Storage Manager for Macintosh Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide
Tivoli Storage Manager can only recover your files if you can run the
client. If the disk that contains the client is lost (from theft or
hardware failure, for example), you must reinstall the client before you can
recover your files. If you also lose the disk that contains the
operating system and communication software, you must recover them before you
can connect to the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
To protect yourself against these kinds of losses, perform the following
steps:
- Record the IP address, subnet mask, default router, and name servers in
the TCP/IP Control Panel. You can use this information to reconfigure
TCP/IP when you re-install MacOS.
- Record your nodename, TCP Server address, and TCP Port number from the
Communications panel of the Preferences editor. The nodename
information comes from the General panel in the Preferences
editor. You will need this information to configure Tivoli Storage
Manager Backup so you can restore your data.
- Re-install the MacOS from your Macintosh installation CD to access the
network.
- Install the Tivoli Storage Manager for Macintosh installation
program. You can either get this from the
http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html
site, or speak with your Tivoli Storage Manager administrator.
