Backup and Restore GuideThe HCL OneDB™ Backup and Restore Guide describes how to use the HCL® OneDB® ON-Bar utility to back up and restore database server data. This will enable you to recover your databases after data is lost or becomes corrupted due to hardware or software failure or accident.
ON-Bar backup and restore system
Configure the storage manager and ON-BarThe topics in this section provide the information that you need to plan and to set up ON-Bar with a storage manager.
Configure a storage managerON-Bar backup and restore operations require a storage manager that integrates with ON-Bar through an XBSA shared library interface.
Configuring TSMTo use HCL® Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM) with HCL® OneDB® databases, you must install and configure the Tivoli® Storage Manager client on your database server computer and Tivoli® Storage Manager on your storage computer.
Editing the TSM client options filesThe HCL® OneDB® Interface for Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM) communicates with the TSM server with the TSM API. By default, HCL® OneDB® Interface for TSM uses the client user options file (dsm.opt) and, on UNIX™ systems, the client system options file (dsm.sys), both of which are located in the TSM API installation directory.
Editing the TSM client system options fileYou can edit the HCL® Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM) client systems options file, dsm.sys. This file must refer to the correctTSM server address and communication method.

Editing the TSM client system options file

You can edit the HCL® Tivoli® Storage Manager (TSM) client systems options file, dsm.sys. This file must refer to the correctTSM server address and communication method.

The following TSM options are the most important to set in the dsm.sys file:

SERVERNAME: Specifies the name that you want to use to identify a server when it is referred to in the dsm.opt file and to create an instance that contains options for that server.
COMMMETHOD: Identifies the communication method.
TCPSERVERADDRESS: Identifies the TSM server.
PASSWORDACCESS: Specifies GENERATE to store the TSM password.

The SERVERNAME option in the dsm.opt and dsm.sys files define server instance names only. The TCPSERVERADDRESS option controls which server is contacted.

You can enable deduplication by including the DEDUP=CLIENTORSERVER option in the client system options file. You must also set the IFX_BAR_USE_DEDUP environment variable in the database server environment and restart the database server. See the Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide for information about configuring deduplication.

You can set up multiple server instances in the dsm.sys file. See the Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide for information about multiple server instances.
