IBM Tivoli Storage Manager backup driver¶
The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) backup driver enables performing volume backups to a TSM server.
The TSM client should be installed and configured on the machine running the cinder-backup service. See the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client Installation and User’s Guide for details on installing the TSM client.
To enable the IBM TSM backup driver, include the following option in
cinder.conf:
backup_driver = cinder.backup.drivers.tsm
The following configuration options are available for the TSM backup driver.
| Configuration option = Default value | Description |
|---|---|
| [DEFAULT] | |
backup_tsm_compression = True |
(Boolean) Enable or Disable compression for backups |
backup_tsm_password = password |
(String) TSM password for the running username |
backup_tsm_volume_prefix = backup |
(String) Volume prefix for the backup id when backing up to TSM |
This example shows the default options for the TSM backup driver.
backup_tsm_volume_prefix = backup
backup_tsm_password = password
backup_tsm_compression = True
