To define a standby server for your active server, open a CLI command window on your active
server and run the setstdby CLI command, as described in the following steps:
1. Run csmcli.bat from your default Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication
installation directory TPC_Install\Program Files\IBM\TPC\cli. The command opens a
CLI window. If you did not set up the CLI properties file, the CLI prompts you to enter a
username and password for logging on to the server. On AIX and Linux servers, you must
run the csmcli.sh script from the default Tivoli Storage Productivity Center for Replication
installation directory /opt/IBM/TPC.
2. Run the lshaservers command to verify that your active server is not already connected
to a standby server, as shown in Example 3-20.

3. Run the setstdby command the set the standby server. Through the CLI, you are informed
that this operation overwrites the contents of the standby server database, and you are
prompted to confirm that you want to continue, as shown in Example 3-21.

server as a standby for this server. This will overwrite the configuration of the
specified standby. Do you want to continue? [y/n]:y

4. Run the lshaserves command again to confirm that your active server now has a standby
server, as shown in Example 3-22.

for Replication server.
3.8.2 Takeover

planned failover), you must perform a takeover of the active server role on your standby Tivoli
Storage Productivity Center for Replication server.
