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 | (BoolOpt) Enable or Disable compression for backups |
backup_tsm_password = password | (StrOpt) TSM password for the running username |
backup_tsm_volume_prefix = backup | (StrOpt) 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
