Installing and Configuring a Storage Manager

Before you can create a backup with ON–Bar, you must configure your storage manager and start it. For information about configuring ISM, see the IBM Informix: Storage Manager Administrator's Guide. For information about configuring third-party storage managers, see Configuring the Storage Manager and ON-Bar, and your storage-manager manuals.

Make sure your storage manager is ready to receive data before you begin a backup or restore. To improve performance, it is recommended that you reserve separate storage devices for storage-space and logical-log backups. Label and mount all volumes in the storage device. The backup or restore might pause until you mount the requested tape or optical disk.
