TSM for VE Configuration Decide whether to allow the wizard to create the Data Mover services. Note the Create Services column with a checkbox for each Data Mover node. When this box is checked, the wizard will create the required option file and TSM client services for the Data Mover node. CAUTION: This checkbox should only be used for Data Mover nodes to be created on the vstorage backup server where this GUI is installed. (See next page) 41
TSM for VE Configuration When the Create Services box is checked for a particular Data Mover, the wizard will create the required option file and TSM client services for the Data Mover node. This is optional. You may still create the option files and services manually. IMPORTANT NOTE: At this time, this checkbox should only be used for Data Movers that reside on the server where the Web Browser GUI was installed. If you are adding a secondary vstorage backup server, the Data Mover option file and services must be created manually. If you leave the Create Services box checked when creating the additional Data Mover node definition, the option file and services will be created on the original vstorage backup server rather than on the new server. Further information will be provided in the section about adding Data Movers. 42
TSM for VE Configuration Decide whether to allow the wizard to create the Data Mover services. This is the first vstorage backup server so the box will be left checked. Click Next 43

Click on the Datacenter Name. 12/13/2013 Currently there is an issue in the vcenter plug-in which does not set the vcenter credentials. This will prevent the datamover from being successfully validated. You must log into the vstorage backup server, start the BA Client GUI using the generated dsm.<datamover>.opt file and set the credentials using the preferences editor. Restart the CAD service for the datamover, then retry the validation. This is not an issue with the web browser GUI. See the following page. 46
12/13/2013 Use this procedure to set the vcenter credentials if the vcenter plug-in was used. 12/13/2013 Open a windows command prompt on the vstorage backup server. CD to the baclient folder. Issue the dir *.opt command to list the.opt files. Invoke the BA Client GUI using the correct.opt file. 12/13/2013 Update the Vmware Virtual Center User and Password. Click OK. Restart the CAD service for this datamover. Return to the plugin and retry the datamover validation. 47

Adding a Data Mover 55
Adding a Data Mover There are two places where Data Movers can be added. The first is on the original vstorage Backup Server where the Web Browser GUI has been installed. The second is any additional vstorage Backup Server. The Web Browser GUI allows you to create and configure the option file and TSM Client services required for the new Data Mover by using the Create Services checkbox on the Data Mover Nodes section of the Configuration Editor. Optionally you may elect to uncheck this box and create the option file and services manually. The Create Services checkbox should not be checked for Data Movers being added to secondary vstorage Backup servers. Data Movers that are created on secondary vstorage Backup servers must be configured manually. The Web Browser GUI is still used to register the Data Mover node name in the TSM server but the Create Services checkbox must not be checked. The option files and TSM Client services are then created manually using the TSM client interfaces on the vstorage Backup server. 56
