If you will be using the Remote Services functions of SysBack, install the
following items:
– bos.rte.net
– bos.net.tcp.client
If you will be using the Classic Network Boot functions for the Network
Installs, install bos.net.nfs.client.
If you will be using the NIM Resource Network Boot functions for network
installs, the NIM environment and resources must first be installed and
configured in the desired locations for SysBack to use these resources. For
information about installing and configuring NIM, see the Network Installation
Management Guide and Reference.
If you will be using SysBack on SP or Cluster 1600 systems, you must be
using PSSP Level 3.4 or 3.5.
Note: At this time, SysBack does not include support for eServer pSeries
Cluster 1600 systems using the CSM option available in AIX 5.2.
When AIX is installed, the following are installed automatically with the
system and may not be removed in order for SysBack to function properly:
– bos.rte.bosinst
– bos.rte.archive
– bos.rte.libnetsvc (when using Network Install functions)
Limitations and exclusions applying to interaction
The limitations and exclusions are:
You must exclude Tivoli Storage Manager HSM managed file systems from
all SysBack backup processes (via an exclude list). You must use the Tivoli
Storage Manager backup-archive client to back up these file systems instead.
At restore time, SysBack may be used to rebuild the underlying file system
structure for the HSM managed file system, but the actual file data and HSM
stub file data should be restored via the Tivoli Storage Manager
backup-archive client.
There can be notable functional differences and limitations in MBCS
environments. Please refer to Appendix B, "Functional Requirements &
Limitations for DBCS and BiDi Environments," in the Installation and User's
Guide for a detailed listing of impacted functionality. LAN-free backups are
not supported.
COMMMethod TCPIP is the only supported Tivoli Storage Manager
communication method.
GPFS file systems are not supported.
