Task 2. Enable TMF Database Protection

DSM/TC catalogs and configuration tables are audited and therefore protected by TMF.

HP highly recommends that you use full (rollforward) TMF protection. For DSM/TC

installation and configuration, you must have TMF running.

For more information on enabling TMF protection, see the TMF Reference Manual.

Task 3. Create an SQL/MP System Catalog

DSM/TC uses audited SQL/MP tables to archive file and volume catalog and

configuration information.

If SQL is not enabled on your system, you must configure the SQL/MP system catalog

using SQLCI and enter:

CREATE SYSTEM CATALOG $volume.subvol;

where $volume.subvol is an audited disk volume.

Task 4. Start $ZSVR

You can use a command at the TACL prompt or create a DEFINE to start the tape

server process, $ZSVR. When using a DEFINE to start $ZSVR, there are three

parameters you can use:

AUTOEXPIRE^DISABLE TRUE|FALSE

Lets you specify whether ZSERVER’s automatic starting of the tape volume

expiration program (MEDDEM) should be disabled. The default is FALSE

(automatic starting remains enabled). If TRUE, you must start MEDDEM manually.

AUTOEXPIRE^UPDATE^STATS TRUE|FALSE

Lets you specify whether MEDIADBM should update its statistics after MEDDEM

finishes executing. The default is TRUE.

AUTOEXPIRE^TIME HH:MM

Lets you specify the time each day that ZSERVER should start the MEDDEM

process. The default is the time that ZSERVER was started.

Note. For read access of selected portions of the DSM/TC database, DSM/TC provides

protection views for interested users. For more information, see Section
