Maintenance Overview
In most cases, IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is installed on a virtual appliance. The virtual appliance contains the application and the Inventory.
System Administrators can perform maintenance tasks on the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus application. Note that a System Administrator is usually a senior-level user who designed or implemented the vSphere and ESX infrastructure, or a user with an understanding of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, VMware, and Linux command-line usage. Maintenance tasks are performed in vSphere Client, through the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus command-line, or through a web-base management console.
Maintenance tasks include collecting logs, updating the application, and reviewing the configuration of the virtual appliance.
Note: Customers of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are not encouraged to update any of the underlying components of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus themselves. Customers should not update the operating system, ZFS, or any other infrastructure component outside of the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus update packages. Infrastructure updates are managed by IBM’s update facilities. The Administrator Console serves as the primary means for updatingIBM Spectrum Protect Plus features and underlying infrastructure components including the operating system and filesystem. ZFS update packages are also provided for vSnap standalone instances.
