## Example

1. Register the ISP node on your ISP server.
   * Log in to your ISP server and prepare a policy set for Storware Backup & Recovery backups.

     ```
      Def dom vprotect
      Def pol vprotect vprotect
      Def mgmt vprotect vprotect vprotect
      Def co vprotect vprotect vprotect dest=<StoragePoolName> vere=nolimit verd=nolimit rete=nolimit reto=nolimit
      Assign defmgmt vprotect vprotect vprotect
      Activate pol vprotect vprotect
     ```
   * Register the node on the ISP server:

     ```
     register node vprotect_proxy <SecretPassword> dom=<VMdomain> maxnummp=10 passe=0 dedup=cli backdel=yes
     ```
2. Use a script to automatically download and install the ISP API and client.

   ```
   /opt/vprotect/scripts/setup_isp.sh
   ```

Make sure to type the IP address of your ISP server, TCP port, and node name correctly. For example:

   * Type name and attach Backup Destination to Node Configuration. You also need to set:
     * path to dsm.opt file (Default is `/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.opt`), where are saved information of IBM Spectrum Protect Nodes,
     * name of IBM Spectrum Protect Node,
     * password to ISP node.
