Hi David >From what I can gather the standard TSM Client handles DB2 by itself without the need for a TDP license.
That is if course unless I'm missing something. We do use TDP for out Lotus Domino backups and I understand that it's a totally separate install, licence etc. Thanks Farren |-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------| | David E Ehresman | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor | To| | Manager" | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> | U | | | cc| | 16/11/2006 14:02 | | | | Subject| | Please respond to | Re: [ADSM-L] Using | | "ADSM: Dist Stor | TSM to backup a DB2| | Manager" | database | | <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------| The API and BA client are the same license. Presumably you will also be licensing TSM for DB, aka Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle (TDPO). That is a different license on top of the BA client license. David >>> Farren Minns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/16/2006 5:56 AM >>> Hi all Running TSM Server 5.2.7.2 on Solaris 2.9. Going to be backing up a Windows 2003 DB2 client. I am just beginning to read the extensive "Backing Up DB2 with IBM Tivoli Storage Management" redbook and want to ask a very basic question at the start. Am I now right in thinking that I install both the BA Client for the standard backup (presumably excluding the DB2 datafiles), and the API for the DB2 backups? If this is the case, is this one licensed client or two? And do they both use separate configuration files (dsm.opt etc). This is new to me and on a Windows OS which I'm not familiar with (I mostly deal with Solaris).
