The DOMAIN parameter specifies the name of the policy domain to which the
node is assigned. If you do not specify a policy domain name, the node is
assigned to the default policy domain (STANDARD). Within our recommended
environment, there are two domains, SERVER and WORKSTN, and no
STANDARD domain. Consequently, if you use our environment, you must
specify the DOMAIN parameter when registering a client node.
The USERID parameter specifies an administrative ID that will be defined as an
administrator with node owner (client access) authority to the client. Node
authority allows an administrator to use the Web backup-archive client. When the
USERID parameter is omitted, an administrator with the same name as the node
is defined. This is the default. We recommend that you specify USERID=NONE
and grant node authority to the HELPDESK administrator and other
administrators explicitly through the grant authority command.
8.2.2 Default environment
Except for z/OS, one client node is registered to the Tivoli Storage Manager
server during the initial server installation. This is for the Tivoli Storage Manager
server itself. The name of this client is CLIENT, with initial password CLIENT.
The node is assigned to the STANDARD domain. To comply with our
recommendation of using the host name for each client node, you should use the
rename node command to change the name of the node from CLIENT to the host
name, and the update node command to assign it to a new policy domain.
8.2.3 Working with client nodes
In this section we explain how to perform various processes related to client
nodes that you will find useful in your Tivoli Storage Manager environment.
Registering a client node
Use the register node command to define a client to the server. In our
environment, we supply the required parameters (node name, node password,
domain name) and an additional two parameters (contact, userid).
Table 8-1 shows a layout you can use for documenting the information needed to
register the clients, completed with a set of sample client information.
