Chapter 21. Managing applications
The NAS Gateway 500 includes several preinstalled applications to assist you with
various management tasks. These applications provide some form of agent or client
functionality that allow the NAS Gateway 500 to integrate in your environment and
interact with other management products that you may have installed on other hosts
or management stations. You can perform configuration and management of these
agents or clients to allow them to interact with your management products.
The included applications can be used for various system management tasks such
as backup and recovery, SAN management, storage resource management, and
network management.
Application functionality includes:
v Backup and Recovery with Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client and storage
v SAN Management with Tivoli SAN Manager agent
v Storage Resource Management with Tivoli Storage Resource Manager (TSRM)
v Network management with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Using Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM)
This section describes how to configure and use the preinstalled Tivoli Storage
Manager (TSM) Backup/Archive client and how to set up the Tivoli Storage
Manager agent for LAN-free operations. The TSM client is one part of a total
enterprise backup and recovery solution. This application gives the NAS Gateway
500 owner the ability to back up and restore data from a separate TSM server.
Configuring the TSM client
Before you can back up or restore data using TSM, you must configure the TSM
client that is preinstalled on the NAS Gateway 500. To configure the TSM client, you
need the following information:
v TSM server name
v TSM server TCP/IP address
v TSM server TCP/IP port
v TSM client node name
v TSM client password
For more information about TSM client version 5.2, refer to
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/IBMTivoliStorageManagerClient5.2.html.
SMIT fastpath
The SMIT menu fastpath command is smit tsmcsetconfig.
To use the SMIT interface, go to SMIT→Manage Applications →Backup and
Recovery with Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM)→Configure TSM Client. Move the
cursor to Entry Fields to enter or select values. Press Enter.
After the information is entered and saved, you can perform a TSM backup or
restore the data.
