Preliminary administrator setup tasks

Before you can back up your integrated Windows server files at file-level, you must do some preliminary setup tasks:

  1. Ensure that the person who is saving and restoring files has the same password on i5/OS™ and the integrated server. The easiest method is found at Enroll a single i5/OS user to the Windows environment using iSeries Navigator. Also ensure that the user is a member of the Administrators group. Refer to Create user templates.
  2. Create shares for each drive or volume that you want to save when you request to save all the files on a Windows server. IBM® iSeries™ Integrated Server Support accesses the file system and translates these shares into path-names. See Create shares on integrated Windows servers.
  3. Add members to the QAZLCSAVL file in QUSRSYS that lists the share names that you want to be able to save. See Add members to QAZLCSAVL file.
  4. Ensure that iSeries NetServer™ is in the same domain as the integrated server for which you want to save files. SeeEnsure iSeries NetServer and the integrated Windows server are in same domain.
  5. Start of changeEnsure that the person performing the saves or restores has *ALLOBJ authority which gives the user full access to the programs and devices required for the save or restore process. If *ALLOBJ authority cannot be provided, the user must have at least *USE authority on object QNTAP/QVNASBM so the backup or restore request can be communicated to the Windows server.End of change
