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.TSMBackupDriver
The following configuration options are available for the TSM backup driver.
