IBM ConfidentialAttention:If you plan to perform VSS operations in a MSCS or VCS environment, make sureto specify the following options in each of the dsm.opt files that are used for theLOCALDSMAGENT, REMOTEDSMAGENT, and OFFLOAD machines:CLUSTERNODE NOCLUSTERDISKSONLY NO1. On the Tivoli Storage Manager server:Perform these steps on the Tivoli Storage Manager server:1. Define the policy domains, policy sets, management classes, copy groups, andstorage pools needed to meet your Data Protection for Exchange backup andrestore requirements. For VSS operations, Tivoli Storage Manager serverauthentication must be on.2. Register your Data Protection for Exchange node name and password with theTivoli Storage Manager register node command. For example: For VSSoperations, this node is the Target Node. Note that when registering nodes tothe Tivoli Storage Manager server specifically for VSS operations, do notspecify the Tivoli Storage Manager USerid=NONE parameter. VSS operationswill fail when this parameter is specified.3. If not already defined, register your Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archiveclient node name and password for the machine where the Exchange Serverinstalled. For example:For VSS operations, this agent node is the LocalDSMAGENT Node.4. (VSS only) If you plan to perform off-loaded backups, register the TivoliStorage Manager backup-archive client node name and password for themachine that will perform the VSS off-loaded backups. For example:This agentnode is the Remote DSMAGENT Node. Note that BAOFF is used in thisexample (and in Step 5) to differentiate between this Remote DSMAGENTNode and the Local DSMAGENT Node (Step 3). You can replace BAOFF withthe node name of your backup-archive client. If you do not plan to performoff-loaded backups, you can skip this step.5. (VSS only) Define the proxy node relationship (for the Target Node and agentnodes) with the Tivoli Storage Manager grant proxynode command. Forexample:grant proxynode target=DP agent=BAnodename,BAOFF2. On the machine running the Exchange Server:Perform these steps on the machine where the Exchange Server is installed andrunning:1. Specify your Data Protection for Exchange node name and communicationmethod in the dsm.opt file located (by default) in the Data Protection forExchange installation directory. Additional options are also available.2. Specify your Data Protection for Exchange preferences (such as language, dateformat, log file, etc.) in the tdpexc.cfg file located (by default) in the DataProtection for Exchange installation directory. Use the set command or theConfiguration task in the Edit Menu of the Data Protection for ExchangeGUI.3. (VSS Only): Specify your VSSPOLICY statement in your Data Protection forExchange configuration file.Chapter 3. Configuring Data Protection for Exchange 45
