Step 2.2 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server: Defining the Storage Agent and Configuring Devices

This section provides the instructions that you need to perform on the Tivoli Storage Manager server. If further explanation is required, see the Administrator’s Guide.

1.If you have not set up server-to-server communication on this server, you can do so now with the following commands:

set servername tsmsrver set serverpassword not4u

set serverhladdress tsmsrver.tucson.ibm.com set serverlladdress 1502

These commands establish the server’s name, password, TCP/IP address, and port. Replace the example values with values from the server configuration information worksheet.

Note: The Server Password Set status in the QUERY STATUS output must be equal to YES. You set the server password by issuing the SET SERVERPASSWORD command from a Tivoli Storage Manager administrative command line. See the example above.

2.For each client that you want to enable SAN data transfer, define the client’s storage agent to the Tivoli Storage Manager server as if the storage agent is a server. You must use the same name and password that you set for the storage agent when you installed it on the client system. The DEFINE SERVER command must be issued from the Tivoli Storage Manager server (library manager or library client) that will manage the client’s data. For example:

define server storagnt serverpassword=fun4me hladdress=agent.tucson.ibm.com lladdress=1500

If the library to be used for LAN-free data movement is a Tivoli Storage Manager shared library and the data manager server is a library client, then you must also define the storage agent to the library manager. It needs to be able to contact the library manager directly when making mount requests. If the storage agent is only defined to the library client, it will attempt to use information from the library client to define itself to the library manager. If the storage agent is unable to define itself to the library manager, the storage agent must be defined manually using the DEFINE SERVER command issued from the library manager. For example, from the library manager server, issue the following command to verify that the storage agent is defined to the library manager:

query server server_name format=detailed

If storage agent is not defined to the library manager, issue the DEFINE SERVER command. For example:

define server storagnt serverpassword=fun4me hladdress=agent.tucson.ibm.com lladdress=1500

Note: In the event that the library manager is not the same server as the library client server that hosts the storage agent, you must define the storage agent as a server on both the library manager server and the library client server.

3.Configure the SAN drives. This involves the following steps:
