Configuration

The following configuration task is required before performing backup using the NetWare File System iDataAgent:

  • OFM configuration is recommended before you can begin using the NetWare iDataAgent for data protection operations. See Open File Manager (OFM).

  • For the GroupWise iDataAgent, depending on your GroupWise system configuration, either the GWTSA.NLM or the TSAFSGW.NLM should be loaded prior to install as well as prior to loading client services each time the server is rebooted.

    If either the GWTSA.NLM or the TSAFSGW.NLM is not loaded, use the appropriate NetWare Command File (NCF) to load the NLM.   The following example pertains to the GWTSA.NLM, but also applies to the TSAFSGW.NLM:

    • Build the GWTSA.NCF file to specify where the GroupWise directories are located on the system using the following arguments:

      LOAD SYS:\SYSTEM\SMDR
      LOAD SYS:\SYSTEM\GWTSA /HOME-GROUPWISE:\GRPWISE\CVGWDOM\ /HOME-GROUPWISE:\GRPWISE\CVGWPO

  • The following configuration tasks are required before performing an Archive Operation using this DataArchiver Agent:

    • Create a Subclient - see Subclients - Migration Archiver Agents for more information.

    • Archiving Rules are initially disabled by default. You must clear the Disable All Rules option in the Subclient Properties (Archiving Rules) or (Rules) tab and configure the archiving rules before conducting rules-based Archive Operations.
