The passwords (shown here as xxxxxxxx) are encrypted in the file. Save the
file to the same directory as the executable and close it.
The command also generates the following line in the dsmsta.opt file:
SERVERNAME tsmsrver
See "The Storage Agent Options File" on page 46 and "The Device
Configuration File for the Storage Agent" on page 49 for details about these
files.
Step 2.2 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server: Defining the
Storage Agent and Configuring Devices
The following 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 Enterprise management (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
set crossdefine on
These commands establish the server's name, password, and TCP/IP address
and port, and allow other servers to define a connection on this server. 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. If you are using an ACSLS-managed external library, install Gresham EDT or
other middleware that enables an external library. For installation information
about Gresham EDT, see the Gresham documentation.
3. 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 that will
manage the client's data. For example:
define server storagnt serverpassword=fun4me
hladdress=agent.tucson.ibm.com lladdress=1500 validateprotocol=all
Note: The VALIDATEPROTOCOL parameter in the previous example is
optional. This parameter determines whether a cyclic redundancy check
should be performed to validate data on all metadata transferred
between the storage agent and the Tivoli Storage Manager server. See the
Administrator's Reference for additional information about the DEFINE
SERVER command. See the Administrator's Guide for additional
information about data validation.
The storage agent must also be defined 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 client, it will attempt to use information
