14.2.1 Preparing to export to another server for immediate import
When you export data to another server over the network, the export triggers an
immediate import on the target server. You can export data to a Tivoli Storage
Manager server of the same or different operating system as the originating
server. A server-to-server export operation performs the following operations:
1. Opens a session with the target server
2. Authenticates with the administrator's user ID and password
3. Starts the equivalent of an import server process on the target server
Prerequisites for exporting
The prerequisites are:
Tivoli Storage Manager must be installed and configured on the target server.
This includes defining volumes for the database and recovery log, and
defining initial server storage, as described in Chapter 5, "Database and
recovery log" on page 187, and Chapter 6, "Data storage" on page 215.
Enterprise configuration can optionally be defined for the target server so you
can distribute consistent policies, administrators, schedules, and scripts to
the target server. For more information about enterprise configuration, see
the chapter "Working with a Network of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Servers"
in the Administrator's Guide for your server operating system platform.
The target server must be defined on the originating server, and vice versa,
using the define server command.
The administrator who will perform the export must be defined with the same
administrator name and password on the target server, with system authority
on the target server.
14.2.2 Exporting administrator information to another server
When you issue the export admin command, the server exports administrator
definitions. Each administrator definition includes:
Administrator name, password, and contact information
Any administrative privilege classes the administrator has been granted
Whether the administrator ID is locked from server access
You can specify a list of administrator names or you can export all administrator
names. Example 14-1 on page 456 shows an export of all administrator
definitions to the target server LOCHNESS. Note that the PREVIEWImport=Yes
