Installation and User's Guide

To enable this option, follow these steps:1. Install the backup-archive client on all nodes in a shared data environment.2. Register each node with the Tivoli Storage Manager server, if it does not exist.Register the common target node name to be shared by each of the agent nodesused in your shared data environment.3. Register each of the nodes in the shared data environment with the TivoliStorage Manager server. This is the agent node name that is used forauthentication purposes. Data is not stored using the node name when theasnodename option is used.4. The Tivoli Storage Manager administrator must grant proxy authority to allnodes in the shared environment to access the target node name on the TivoliStorage Manager server, using the GRANT PROXYNODE server command.5. Use the QUERY PROXYNODE administrative client command to display theclient nodes of the authorized user, granted by the GRANT PROXYNODEcommand.Follow these steps to set up encryption with the encryptkey=save option:1. Specify encryptkey=save in the options file.2. Back up at least one file with asnode=ProxyNodeName to create a localencryption key on each agent node in the multiple node environment.Follow these steps to set up encryption with the encryptkey=prompt option:1. Specify encryptkey=prompt in the options file.2. Ensure that users of the agent nodes in the multiple node environment areusing the same encryption key.v If you change the encryption key, you must repeat the previous steps.v Use the same encryption key for all files backed up in the shared nodeenvironment.Follow these steps to enable multinode operation from the GUI:1. Verify that the client node has proxy authority to a target node (or authorizedto act as the target node) using the QUERY PROXYNODE administrative clientcommand.2. Select Edit → Preferences to open the preferences window.3. Select the General tab and fill in the As Node Name field with the name of theproxy authorized target node.4. Click Apply and then OK to close the preferences window.Follow these steps to verify that your client node is now accessing the server asthe target node:1. Open the tree window and check that the target node name specified by the AsNode Name field appears, or2. Verify the target node name in the Accessing As Node field in the ConnectionInformation window.To return to single node operation, delete the As Node Name from the AccessingAs Node field in the General → Preferences tab.Tip:v All agent nodes in the multiple node environment should be of the sameplatform type.Chapter 6.
