Using BRMS as a TSM Client

You can use BRMS to save user data on distributed System i® platforms to any TSM server. You can do this by using the BRMS TSM Client which is provided with the base BRMS product.

The BRMS TSM Client looks like the BRMS client. It is not a TSM Backup or Archive client. There is little difference between the way BRMS saves objects to TSM servers and the way it saves objects to media. A TSM server is just another device that BRMS uses for your save and restore operations.

The BRMS TSM Client communicates with TSM servers through a special set of APIs that are referred to as the TSM Application Programming Interface for System i (TSM APIs), program product 5733-197.

Note:
The latest version of the TSM APIs can be downloaded from the following URL: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v5r2/OS400/LATEST/
