Part II: Configuration procedure
2. Perform these tasks on the machine running
Make sure the Exchange Server is running before performing this task.
Perform these steps on the machine where the Exchange Server is installed and running:
1. Specify your Data Protection for Exchange node name and communication method in the dsm.opt file located (by default) in the Data Protection for Exchange installation directory. Additional options are also available. See “Specifying Data Protection for Exchange options” on page 69 for additional information.
2. Specify your Data Protection for Exchange preferences (such as language, date format, log file, etc.) in the tdpexc.cfg file located (by default) in the Data Protection for Exchange installation directory. Use the set command or the
Configuration task in the Edit Menu of the Data Protection for Exchange GUI.
See “Specifying Data Protection for Exchange preferences” on page 74 and “Set positional parameters” on page 190 for additional information.
3. (VSS Only):Specify your VSSPOLICY statement in your Data Protection for Exchange configuration file.
See “Specifying Data Protection for Exchange preferences” on page 74 and “Set positional parameters” on page 190 for additional information.
4. (VSS Only):Configure the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client (if it is not already configured). If the backup-archive client is already configured, you can use existing client services. The backup-archive client setup wizard can guide you through the configuration process (if needed). In the
backup-archive client GUI menu, select Utilities->Setup Wizard->Help me
configure the TSM Backup Archive Client. Note that the node name for this machine is referred to as the Local DSMAGENT Node and is specified with the localdsmagentnode parameter in the Data Protection for Exchange configuration file (tdpexc.cfg by default).
See IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Client Installation
and User's Guide and “Proxy node definitions (VSS Backups)” on page 67 for
additional information.
5. (VSS Only):Install and configure the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD) Service (if not already installed and configured). You can use an existing client CAD Service if one is already installed and configured. The backup-archive client Setup Wizard can guide you through the CAD
installation process (if needed). In the backup-archive client GUI menu, select
Utilities->Setup Wizard->Help me configure the TSM Web Client. Make sure this CAD service is running before proceeding to Step 6.
6. (VSS Only):Install and configure the Tivoli Storage Manager Remote Client Agent Service (DSMAGENT) if it is not already installed and configured. The backup-archive client Setup Wizard can guide you through the configuration process. In the backup-archive client GUI menu, select Utilities->Setup
Wizard->Help me configure the TSM Web Client. You can use the existing DSMAGENT if one is already installed and configured.
7. (VSS Only):Install the Tivoli Storage Manager Copy Services Exchange VSS Integration Module from the product (if it is not already installed).
8. (VSS Only):If you plan to perform VSS Instant Restores and you are using the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client Version 5.5.1, you must manually install the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Copy Services Hardware Devices Snapshot Integration Module Version 5.5.1 (if it is not already
installed).
If you are using the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client Version 6.1 (or later), the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FlashCopy Manager Hardware Devices Snapshot Integration Module is automatically installed with the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client. As a result, you do not need to manually install this module.A SAN Volume Controller, DS6000, DS8000, or XIV storage subsystem is also required to perform VSS Instant Restores. 9. (VSS Only):Add the Microsoft Exchange Server binary path to the PATH
statement in the system environment variables. For example:
"C:\Program files\Exchsrvr\bin"
Verify that the "ESEUTIL.EXE" executable exists in this directory.
10. (VSS Only):Install and configure a VSS provider. Consult the VSS provider documentation for information regarding configuration of that software. Note that there is no installation or configuration required if you are using the default Windows VSS System Provider.
11. (VSS Only):Define storage space to hold VSS Backups that will reside on local shadow volumes. Make sure you define enough space to hold all copies of the VSS Backups as designated by your policies.
See “Back up to Tivoli Storage Manager storage versus back up to local shadow volumes” on page 61 for recommendations regarding sufficient disk storage space. | | | | | | | | | | |
3. Perform these tasks on the machine running the offloaded
backups
This task is for VSS operations only.
Perform these steps on the machine running the offloaded backups:
1. Configure the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client (if it is not already configured). If the backup-archive client is already configured, you can use existing client services. The backup-archive client Setup Wizard can guide you through the configuration process (if needed). In the backup-archive client GUI menu, select Utilities->Setup Wizard->Help me configure the TSM Backup
Archive Client. Note that the node name for this machine is referred to as the Remote DSMAGENT Node and is specified with the remotedsmagentnode parameter in the Data Protection for Exchange configuration file (tdpexc.cfg by default).
2. Install and configure the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD) Service (if not already installed and configured). You can use an existing client CAD Service if one is already installed and configured. The
backup-archive client Setup Wizard can guide you through the CAD
installation process (if needed). In the backup-archive client GUI menu, select
Utilities->Setup Wizard->Help me configure the TSM Web Client.
3. Install and configure the Tivoli Storage Manager Remote Client Agent Service (DSMAGENT). The backup-archive client Setup Wizard can guide you through the configuration process. In the backup-archive client GUI menu, select
Utilities->Setup Wizard->Help me configure the TSM Web Client. 4. Install the Microsoft Exchange Server management tools from the Microsoft
Exchange Server installation media. Take note of the Microsoft Exchange Server Management tools binary directory (for example: C:\Program
files\Exchsrvr\bin). Verify that the "ESEUTIL.EXE" executable exists in this directory. Data Protection for Exchange uses this tool to run automatic integrity checking of the VSS backup.
Note:
a. The Exchange Server does not need to be installed or running on this machine. Only the Microsoft Exchange Server management tools are required to be installed on this machine.
b. See your Microsoft Exchange Server documentation for necessary license requirements.
5. Add the Microsoft Exchange Server binary path to the PATH statement in the system environment variables. For example:
"C:\Program files\Exchsrvr\bin"
6. Install and configure a VSS provider (if you are not using the default system VSS provider). Consult the VSS provider documentation for information regarding configuration of that software.
