Enable 1-Touch Recovery for AIX Computers

Enable 1-Touch recovery for the AIX client in Command Center.

Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Files.

2. On the Files tab, click the AIX client.

3. On the Subclients tab, click select the default subclient or the specific subclient that you want to protect using 1-Touch.

   Note

   When multiple subclients exist within a backup set, 1‑Touch can be enabled for only one subclient in that backup set.

4. On the Protection summary tile, move the 1-Touch recovery toggle to the right.

5. Click Edit against 1-Touch server.

6. In the Edit 1-Touch recovery options dialog box, from the 1-Touch server list, select the AIX NIM server that will host recovery resources.

7. In the 1-Touch server directory box, enter the directory path that will act as the TFTP directory during system recovery .

   For example: /tftpboot/commvault/1touch

   Note

   Use a dedicated logical volume mounted to this directory. Size it to ≥ 2× rootvg of the largest client and (n + 1) × largest rootvg for n simultaneous recoveries.

8. Click Save.

9. Run a Full backup of the subclient.

   This creates the MKSYSB-based 1-Touch backup and registers the client with the 1-Touch server.

What to Do Next

Review job history in Command Center to ensure that the 1-Touch Server Update phase completed successfully.
