Automatic start
On AIX, after the Tivoli Storage Manager server installation, the system is
configured to start the Tivoli Storage Manager server automatically during the
system startup. The following entry is added to the system initialization file
/etc/inittab:
autosrvr:2:once:/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.adsmserv >/dev/console 2>&1
#Start the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server
Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux also use the /etc/inittab for automatic startup of
processes; however, you may prefer to put the commands into another of the
possible startup files. We recommend that you refer to your operating system
documentation and talk with the system administrator to decide on the best
configuration.
On Windows, the Tivoli Storage Manager server is installed as a manual service.
To change its status to automatic, go to Settings → Control Panel →
Administrative Tools → Services, select the Tivoli Storage Manager server
service, and change its startup setting to automatic.
The Tivoli Storage Manager server will be started automatically the next time the
system is rebooted. You can then check that the server is running by trying to
connect to the server from an administrative client or a backup-archive client, or
by checking whether the Tivoli Storage Manager server process (UNIX/Linux) or
service (Windows 2000/2003) is running.
Administrative console session
If you start the Tivoli Storage Manager server in the background, we highly
recommend running an additional administrative client session in console mode
on the administrative workstation. This session displays all Tivoli Storage
Manager messages so that you can easily monitor the Tivoli Storage Manager
system. However, it is not an active session, that is, you cannot issue
administrative commands here. Example 13-3 starts an administrative session in
console mode.
