Note: Before a Tivoli Storage Manager client can log in to the Tivoli Storage
Manager server, it must be first defined to the Tivoli Storage Manager server
using the register node command.
Journalling on AIX setup
With the client V5.3.3 you can use the journalling service to run journal-based
backups on AIX nodes. This service observes and keeps track of changes in files
in local file systems. During incremental backups this information is used to
select files for backup, which improves performance compared with the standard
technique of scanning the file system for changes.
To enable journal-based backup, install and configure the Tivoli Storage
Manager journal daemon. This daemon can be configured by editing the journal
daemon configuration sample file, tsmjbbd.ini.smp, and saving it as tsmjbbd.ini.
Both files should be in the default install directory.
The journal configuration file (tsmjbbd.ini) needs as a minimum a list of the file
systems to monitor. These two lines are sufficient:
[JournaledFilesystemSettings]
JournaledFileSystems=/home
We recommend also entering a JournalDir setting and a JournalExcludeList for
the database files, as shown in Example 4-11. An errorlog setting will also
explicitly name the errorlog file. Once the configuration file is created, the journal
daemon can be started using the script file /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/rc.tsmjbb.
Example 4-11 Journal configuration settings tsmjbbd.ini
[JournalSettings]
Errorlog=/tsm/journal/jbberror.log
Journaldir=/tsm/journal/
[JournalExcludeList]
;
Note that this list contains the journal database files.
*.jdb.jbbdb
*.jdbInc.jbbdb
[JournaledFileSystemSettings]
JournaledFileSystems=/home /xyz
The journal will write initialization information to the file specified by the errorlog
option. When you are satisfied the journal is working correctly, you should run
