Installing and Loading Macintosh Target Service Agent
Introduction
This document contains procedures for installing and loading the Macintosh
Target Service Agent (MacTSA), which, when used in conjunction with a backup
engine (like SBACKUP), makes it possible to backup and restore data on
Macintosh workstations from NetWare host servers (servers with a backup device
attached).
For procedures on backing up or restoring a workstation, see Chapter 9,
"Backing Up and Restoring Data," in the NetWare 4.1 version of Supervising the
Network.
Suggestion: We recommend you use MacTSA with a 3.12 or 4.x host server.
Important!! If you are using a 68020 Macintosh, and are trying to connect
to a 3.11 server on a slow machine (80386/16mhz), connections may fail. If you
must use a 3.11 host server, ensure that you are using the following versions
of NLMs.
TLI.NLM 9/14/93 10:43
STREAMS.NLM 7/20/93 4:19
CLIB.NLM 5/19/94 10:27
SPXS.NLM 5/17/94 9:58
Important!! If your speed rating is less than 242, it may not allow
connections to be established or maintained. Check your speed rating by typing
SPEED at your host server system prompt.
Installing the Macintosh Target Service Agent
Checklist
1. Determine if you have a copy of TSAProxy.nlm residing in the SYS:SYSTEM
directory of your host server (the server with the backup device attached to
it).
It is available on Netwire, and it was shipped with NetWare 4.1. If you
haven't already installed TSAProxy.nlm on your server, you will be prompted to
do so later in this document.
The TSAProxy.nlm serves as a registry point for Windows 95, OS/2, Macintosh
and UnixWare workstations, and it is required in order for SBACKUP to recognize
these workstations.
2. Ensure you are using a Macintosh 68020 machine or higher running System 7.
MacTSA won't run on a 68000 machine or on System 6.x. If MacTSA is launched
on an unsupported machine, a user alert will be posted.
3. The MacTSA requires MacIPX version 1.2 or greater be installed.
Procedure
1. If you use the Aladdin Installer the "MacTSA" application and the "MacTSA
Prefs" application will be placed in a MacTSA folder on your startup disk.
Otherwise, copy the "MacTSA" application and the "MacTSA Prefs" application to
your hard disk.
You can place these applications anywhere on the hard disk.
Suggestion: You may want to place the "MacTSA" application in your
"StartupItems" folder (found in the "System" folder) so that MacTSA is launched
at startup.
Note: "MacTSA" is a faceless, background-only application, so it will not
appear in the pull down list of running applications.
Loading the Macintosh Target Service Agent
Checklist
1. Ensure that you have installed and setup your backup engine on the server
according to the manufacturer's instructions before proceeding.
2. Ensure that you have installed the required software according
to"Installing the Macintosh Target Service Agent."
Procedure
1. At the host server console prompt, load TSAProxy.nlm.
2. From the hard drive, double-click on the "MacTSA Prefs" application.
Note: The username and password referred to in Step 2 are specifically for
the MacTSA, and are not necessarily the same as the Macintosh owner name and
password, or the NetWare username and password. This is the username and
password that SBACKUP requires of the person performing a backup of the
workstation.
At the "MacTSA Preferences" dialog box,
2.1 Enter the MacTSA username you want to use to connect to the workstation
from SBACKUP (or other backup engine).
2.2 Enter the MacTSA password you want to use to connect to the workstation
from SBACKUP (or other backup engine).
2.3 Identify the host server (where TSAProxy.nlm resides).
2.4 From the "File" menu, select "Quit."
Note: Step 2 only has to be done once. If you wish to change your name and
password, you may run this again.
3. Name Your Macintosh
3.1 From the "System" folder, open the "Control Panels" folder.
3.2. From the "Control Panels" folder, open "Sharing Setup" and complete the
following.
3.2.1 Skip the "Owner Name" and "Owner Password" items.
3.2.2 Complete the "Macintosh Name" item.
This name is independent of any other name, like a username. This is the name
that will appear in SBACKUP (or your backup engine) on the list of workstations
available as backup or restore targets.
3.2.3 Skip the "File Sharing" and "Program Linking" sections of the screen.
3.2.4 Close "Sharing Setup."
4. From the hard drive, double-click on the "MacTSA" application.
When you run SBACKUP (or another backup engine), your Macintosh name should
now appear in the list of workstations available as backup or restore targets.
Note: If SBACKUP (the backup engine included in NetWare 4.1) doesn't find a
name in "Sharing Setup," the workstation is called "unknown" in the list of
workstation targets in SBACKUP.
For more information on SBACKUP.NLM, see "Backing Up and Restoring Data" in
Supervising the Network, which is part of the NetWare 4.1 manual set.
