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:

Tape

Device

When

you

are

connecting

the

storage

agent

to

the

library

manager,

follow

these

steps:
