Configuring Spectrum Protect

To use Spectrum Protect with Informix® databases, you must install and configure the Spectrum Protect client on your database server computer and Spectrum Protect on your storage computer.

You must also configure Informix® Interface for Spectrum Protect and perform other Spectrum Protect configuration tasks on your Informix® database server computer.

Starting with versions 8.1.2 and 7.1.8, Spectrum Protect requires SSL communication between the client and the server, and therefore additional configuration steps must be followed:

To configure Spectrum Protect:

  1. Edit the Spectrum Protect client options files.
  2. Assign a Spectrum Protect management class for the server to use for backups.
  3. Set the Informix® Interface for Spectrum Protect environment variables.
  4. Register with the Spectrum Protect server.
  5. Initialize the Informix® Interface for Spectrum Protect.
  6. Optional. Configure ON-Bar to support optional Spectrum Protect features.
