To
create backup sets/archive sets for the client computer:
- From the CommCell Browser, locate the correct client computer node, right-click
the iDataAgent, Agent or instance
node (depending on your agent's functionality) for which you want the backup
set/archive set created, select All Tasks and then click Create New
Backup Set or Create New Archive Set.
- For most agents, from the Create New Backup Set or Create New
Archive Set dialog box, enter a New Backup Set Name or New Archive
Set Name (up to 32 characters) of the backup set/archive set that you
want to create. For the DB2 or DB2 DPF iDataAgent,
from the same dialog box, click the desired database (backup set) name under
Available DB Names and move this name under Selection.
NOTES
- For DB2 or DB2 DPF, to prevent archive log backup failures, ensure that the name
that you select is the actual name of the database and not the alias name
for the database. If the database name and the corresponding alias name
are different, both names are displayed under Available DB Names;
if both names are the same, the name that is displayed is the database name.
To find out about database names and their aliases, run the following command
as a DB2 or DB2 DPF instance owner on the DB2 or DB2 DPF client: db2 list db directory.
- Where applicable, if you want to designate this backup set/archive set as
the default backup set/archive set, select Make this the Default backup set
or Make this the Default Archive Set; otherwise, leave the check box
cleared.
- For most agents, verify that the storage policy copy associated with the
default subclient is the storage policy that you want. If you want to select
a different storage policy, click the storage policy box and select the one
you want from the list. If the agent supports a system-state subclient, repeat
this step for that subclient. For the DB2 or DB2 DPF
iDataAgent,
to establish a storage policy for all the log files, click the storage policy
in the list provided.
- Where applicable, if you want to create additional subclients within this
backup set/archive set:
- Click Add.
- Follow Create a New Subclient
procedure.
- Repeat this step for each additional subclient that you want to define
within this backup set/archive set.
- When all subclients have been added, click OK.
- A message will advise you to schedule backups for your new backup set.
It is recommended that you elect to set a schedule now. You can also associate
this backup set/archive set with an All Agent Types schedule policy (which
is automatically created by the system, or can be a user-defined Data Protection
schedule policy). If you have already associated a schedule policy at a
previous level (Agent, Client, or Client Computer Group) the schedules defined
in the Schedule Policy will be automatically applied to the new backup set/archive
set. See Schedule Policy
for more information.
- If you want to associate this backup set/archive set with an All
Agent Types schedule policy, click Associate with Generic Schedule
Policy, and then select that schedule policy from the drop-down
list box. Click OK.
- If you have selected to define a schedule for this backup set/archive
set:
- Click Schedule.
- If applicable, from the Backup Options dialog box, select
the type of backup that you want to schedule.
- If you want to set Advanced Backup/Archive Options, click
Advanced.
- After selecting the backup type and any advanced options, click
OK. The Schedule Details dialog box appears.
- From the
Schedule
Details tab, select the scheduling options that you want to
apply, then click OK.
- If you don't want to create a backup/archive schedule at this time,
click Do Not Schedule, and then click OK.
The new backup set/archive set is displayed in the CommCell Browser.

Administrative Management capability cannot be used to perform the deconfigure operation from the MediaAgent level.
|
Before you Begin:
-
For MediaAgent Deconfiguration, ensure that all the storage policies or copies
associated with the configured libraries (or drive pools) in the MediaAgent are
deleted or re-associated to another MediaAgent.
To deconfigure a
client, MediaAgent, agent, or enabler:
- In the CommCell Browser, right-click the name of the client, MediaAgent,
agent, or enabler you want to deconfigure, click All Tasks (if
displayed), and select Deconfigure.
- A popup warning message appears.
Click OK to continue.
- Another popup message then appears.
Click Yes to continue with the deconfiguration or No to abort.
- If the deconfigure is unsuccessful, a number of popup messages
appears. In some cases, the message requests that you take some
corrective action. For example, the message might advise you to ensure that there are no jobs running on the
agent. In such a case, click OK and take the appropriate action.
Then repeat the deconfigure process.
If the deconfigure is successful, the tree element is dimmed and available for deletion.
Before You Begin
You can perform agent operations as long as the agent is installed and
appears enabled in the CommCell Browser. However, if you have no need to
run jobs on the agent data of a client computer, you may want
to delete the agent that resides on that computer. Once you have uninstalled or DeConfigured
the agent, the corresponding icon in the CommCell Browser is grayed out. While
this icon exists, you can recover data from the agent to another client. If you
delete this icon, all of the agent's data is irretrievably lost.
NOTES
Deleting the agent is a two-phase process.
- You need to uninstall or DeConfigure the agent software
from the client computer. Doing so frees an agent license, thereby allowing
you to install it on some other computer whose data you do want to secure.
- After you delete the client software, you can either leave the corresponding
data
intact for appropriate action, or you can remove the data immediately. If you choose
to remove the data immediately, you must delete the agent from the CommCell
Browser.
Required Capability: See
Capabilities and Permitted Actions
To delete
an agent:
- From the CommCell Browser, right-click the icon of the agent that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
(The agent software must first have been uninstalled/DeConfigured or the delete option on the shortcut menu
will not appear.)
- A warning message prompts you with the following:
This operation will permanently delete the data backed up from this level
and it cannot be restored. Click Ok to continue with the
deletion operation. (Clicking No will abort the operation.)
- From the Confirmation Text dialog box, enter the confirmation
text string, erase and reuse media. Click
Ok. The agent icon and the data that corresponds to the selected agent
will be deleted. Consequently, you will not be able to browse or recover
this data.
Before You Begin
- Review CSVDE Filtering for Discovery Operations:
- CAUTION: Use of this option requires expert-level knowledge of CSVDE, which is a Microsoft tool used for extracting and filtering information from Active Directory. Incorrect use of the CSVDE filtering option can result in failed discovery and data protection operations for these agents. For more information on CSVDE, refer to documentation from Microsoft Corporation.
Required Capability: See Capabilities and Permitted Actions
To enable CSVDE filtering for discovery operations:
- From the CommCell Browser, right-click the icon for the appropriate agent and then click Properties.
- From the General tab of the agent Properties dialog box, select the Use CSVDE For Discovery option, then specify the desired CSVDE filter in the corresponding entry space.
- Click OK.
The next time a discovery operation is run for this agent the user-specified CSVDE filter will be used.
