2 This is in a Microsoft Windows Server 2016 document was written using IBM Spectrum Protect for Windows version Installation Guide as a procedures described here have been significantly changed since IBM Storage manager release Since it is a new major release, there are many new Spectrum Protect version is the next generation of IBM Tivoli Storage manager . Usability improvements in IBM Spectrum Protect include updates to Operations Center, a web-based interface for managing your storage environment. Operations Center does the following: Simplifies the configuration of cloud storage Provides more options for storage pool conversion Streamlines the process of authenticating users with a lightweight directory access protocol serverYou can grow an IBM Spectrum Protect server to use a 6 TB database. Find the best practices for setting up a storage environment in the data protection solutions section of IBM Knowledge Center and the IBM Spectrum Protect Spectrum Protect provides a more efficient method to move, and securely store, data in the cloud, on object storage and on scalable file systems.

3 Acknowledging the continuing role of tape as a cost-effective backup storage medium, IBM Spectrum Protect provides you with new options for moving data to tape and managing data on tape intended audience for this implementation guide is anyone deploying this solution. You need to have a working knowledge of the configuration of Microsoft Windows Server, as well as a basic administrative knowledge of the target operating These procedures were developed in a lab environment. Many things affect production environments beyond prediction or duplication in a lab environment. Follow recommended practice by conducting proof-of-concept testing for acceptable results before implementing this solution in your production environment. Test the implementation in a non-production, isolated test environment that otherwise matches your production environment.

4 22 Tested Solution ComponentsTo implement this solution as tested in the lab, you need the hardware components in Table 1 and the software components in Table 1.

5 Obtain the IBM Spectrum Protect extended server edition license. Configure the Fibre Channel zones that connect the hitachi NAS Platform clusters and the tape library or tape drives. Configure the Fibre Channel zones that connect the server running Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and the NAS Platform clusters. Install and configure NAS Platform with at least one EVS defined and with share or shares ConfigurationProvision the hitachi storage with two 1 TB LUNs. Create and provision similar CIFS shares using hitachi NAS Platform 4060. Use hitachi Storage Navigator Modular 2 to create the following storage space: 2 storage pools configured as RAID 6 (6D+2P) 2 1 TB LUNs 1 host groupSAN ConfigurationSAN connectivity using the Fibre Channel protocol provides connectivity between the Fibre Channel port or ports on hitachi NAS Platform and the IBM TS3200 tape drive.

6 The configuration calls for a SAN-attached hitachi NAS Platform 4060 using a Brocade 6510 fabric is no SAN connectivity between the IBM TSM server and the tape library's robotic control. Direct Fibre Channel connectivity to a library's robotic control is only supported if the robotics are segregated from the tape drive or drives, using something a dedicated path. This configuration has a single zone so that the hitachi NAS Platform ports had connectivity to all tape drives within the IBM TS3200 tape library. Robotic control passes through Tape Drive Tape library configurations and capabilities vary by vendor. If you are not using this table library, consult with your vendor when configuring Fibre Channel ConfigurationEthernet connectivity utilizing the TCP/IP protocol provides the communication path between the following: IBM Spectrum Protect server and client (1 GbE network) hitachi storage and hitachi NAS Platform 4060 (10 GbE network)IBM Spectrum Protect Network Configuration DiagramFigure 1 on page 4 shows how the hardware is 155 Install the IBM Spectrum Protect ServerThis is how to Install IBM Spectrum Protect server.

7 Apply Best Practices to the Server InstallationTypically, the hardware configuration and selection have the most significant effect on the performance of an IBM Spectrum Protect solution. Other factors that affect performance are the operating system selection and following is the most important best practice for optimal performance and problem prevention: Separate the server database, the active log, the archive log, and disk storage pools from each Installation ManagerIBM Spectrum Protect uses IBM Installation manager . Use this installation program, using remote or local software repositories, to Install or update many IBM products. IBM Installation manager is installed or upgraded to the version you need when you Install IBM Spectrum Protect . It must remain installed on the system to update IBM Spectrum directories for the IBM Spectrum Protect server include the following, with each one containing several additional directories: Server DB2 Device Language Other directories The default directory that contains server code and licensing is /opt/tivoli/tsm/ DB2 product that is installed as part of the installation of the IBM Spectrum Protect server has the directory structure as documented in DB2 information sources.

8 Protect these directories and files as you do the server directories. The default directory is /opt/tivoli/ uninstalled later as the Server ComponentsTo Install the IBM Spectrum Protect version server components, you can use the any of the following: The installation wizard The command line in console mode Silent modeUsing the IBM Spectrum Protect installation software, you can Install the following components: ServerThe database (DB2), the global security kit (GSKit) and Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Install automatically when you select the server component. Server languages License66 Devices IBM Spectrum Protect for SAN Operations CenterIf errors occur during the installation process, the errors are recorded in log files that are stored in the IBM Installation manager logs directory. You can view installation log files from Installation manager from the File menu, by clicking View IBM Spectrum Protect Server on Microsoft Windows Server Install IBM Spectrum Protect server on Microsoft Windows Server 2016, do the the Control Panel, view information about the server where you are going to Install Spectrum Protect server.

9 Check for the following: Operating system version RAM sizeFigure that all administrator users have the control policy Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode 3 shows the error message you receive if the control policy is enabled. If not disabled, disable running all administrators in Admin Approval Mode on the User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode window (Figure 4 on page 9).Figure 388 Figure the unzipped package directory, start installation with the file. The IBM Installation manager window opens with the progress bar on the progress bar moves to Prerequisite, the installation program verifies that all prerequisites are present. If all prerequisites are met (Figure 5), click the default shared resources directory location (Figure 6) by clicking the Create a new package group option, accept the default location for the installation directory, and then click Next (Figure 7).

10 Figure this solution uses NDMP devices, click the IBM Spectrum Protect Extended Edition option and then click Next (Figure 8).Figure the installation wizard says that the packages are installed (Figure 9), click 91212 Configure IBM Spectrum Protect ServerThe configuration wizard opens automatically after finishing the installation (Figure 10). Figure 101313To configure IBM Spectrum Protect server, do the the instance user ID (Figure 11). Type the following and click Next: Instance This is name of the new instance you are creating. It can be as simple as Server1. User ID It is typical to use this for the user ID: administrator password Create the password for the administrator the wizard establishes a connection with these user credentials, click Next (Figure 12). This accepts the default instance create the instance directory from Figure 12, click Yes (Figure 13).
