Onbar - am I missing something?

The ISM manual says that ISM Administrator only runs on NT. The ISM Manual gives a detailed description of how to configure ISM through the administrator - and that's about it. The Onbar manual says you have to refer to the ISM manual before you can do anything. I can't find the bit that tells you how to configure your devices from Unix. Am I missing something blatantly obvious or is an NT client mandatory to run ISM and hence Onbar? Could someone give me a manual ref for that blatantly obvious thing please? -- -Andy Kent- Bristol, England Remove '.DontSpamMe' from return address to respond.

In article <fS9%5.12563$cy5.199112@news2-win.server.ntlworld.com>, Hi Andy. ISM Setup Procedure on UNIX(See also Informix Strage Manager 1-13) The following C shell scripts is an example of a simple setup for making ON-Bar strage-space and logical backups to disk files: #!/bin/csh # setup for ISM strage manager echo "ISM setup begins" # the user must edit these two lines to select # appropriate disk locations for strage manager use. setenv SM_DISKDEV1 /backups/dbspaces setenv SM_DISKDEV2 /backups/logfiles # start ISM server echo "initialize ISM server. must be done as root" ism_start_up -init Impotant:To make informix the ISM user and thereby ensuring informix has access to conduct ISM operations during daily routines,you must run the following command after any ism_setup -init or ISM installation: ism_add -admin informix@server # create some devices and media # the ISM user. defined in ism_add -admin. can do these tasks echo "create and mount ISM devices and pools" ism_add -devices $SM_DISKDEV1 -type file ism_add -devices $SM_DISKDEV2 -type file ism_op -label $SM_DISKDEV1 -pool ISMDiskData(? my environment is ISMData) -volume ISMData ism_op -label $SM_DISKDEV1 -pool ISMDiskLogs(? my environment is ISMLogs) -volume ISMData ism_op -mount $SM_DISKDEV1 ism_op -mount $SM_DISKDEV2 echo "end of ISM setup" And the following command. onbar -b -w(Backup) onbar -r -w(Restore) "Andy Kent" <andykent.bristol.DontSpamMe@virgin.net> wrote: > The ISM manual says that ISM Administrator only runs on NT.

You can now also use ISA (Informix System Administrator) a WEB based engine management and monitoring tool to set up onbar. Art S.
