Role Name

ansible role for installing and configuring the tivoli backup client

Requirements

A backup client must be requested from the ITA of the Uib. You will get the Server IP, the backup client name and a password from there.

After the initial installation on a new system, the dsmc command must be executed once and the password entered. The binary file /etc/adsm/TSM.PWD created must be inserted into the role into files/TSM.PWD.ansible_hostname. It will be used in further installations.

Role Variables

All variables are defined in the defaults/main.yml file. You need to set the backupclient_name and the directories you want to backup. backupserver_ip usually does not need to be changed.
