Re: Spectrum Protect Plus experiences and offloading to AIX issues

2019-05-07 Thread Szabi Nagy
Hi Dominic,


As our Spectrum Protect servers are running on AIX, I have created a new 
Lubuntu VM as the object agent host system. When trying to define a new server 
on the Spectrum Protect server, I am getting the following error message:


Protect: >def server SPP-Offload-Linux hla= lla= 
objectagent=yes
ANR4623E The definition for object agent SPP-OFFLOAD-LINUX must specify an 
HLADDRESS that matches an address in the server's default certificate.
ANS8001I Return code 1100.

I have provided the object agent's IP address in the hla field and the port 
number in the lla field which I got from the Spectrum Protect server by running 
'q opt TCPPort':

Protect: >q opt TCPPort

Server Option   Option Setting
- 
  TCPPort

As far as I know, we are using CA-signed certificates.

IBM has told me that 'this fails because it does not have any reference to the 
Object Agent host in it's SAN'. I am puzzled how to get around this certificate 
issue.

Have you also used an additional object agent host system? Have you also 
experienced this certificate issue, if so, how did you get around it?

Thanks,

Hi Szabi,

I was working with another customer recently who set this up. What exactly
is the problem you are faced with?

Greetings, Dominic.

Spectrum Protect Plus experiences and offloading to AIX issues

2019-05-07 Thread Szabi Nagy
Hi all,


I am currently testing IBM's Spectrum Protect Plus (SPP) software and I am 
wondering whether there is anybody out there who is actually using this product 
in a live environment. I would be interested in your experiences with 
installation, configuration, offloading and in general. Our Spectrum Protect 
servers are running on AIX and so far I could not make offloading work (via a 
Linux object agent host system). I find IBM's documentation very vague with 
regard to the offloading feature when using a Linux object agent host system 
and their support did not manage to clarify things yet.


Many thanks in advance,
