Showing or changing the boot state of the TSM storage agent

The default for TSM Storage Manager is off (not to start on boot). The Start / Stop
TSM Storage Agent panel only starts and stops the storage agent process. If the
NAS Administrator wants the process to start all the time, then the boot state of the
TSM storage agent needs to be changed to on.

Go to SMIT→Manage Applications →Backup and Recovery with Tivoli Storage
Manager (TSM)→Show / Change Boot State of TSM Storage Agent. Move the
cursor to Entry Fields and change the Boot state to on. Press Enter. When the
change is entered, the TSM storage agent process starts on boot. The TSM storage
agent will need to be stopped before you can make configuration change.

Using Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager (TSANM)

This section describes how to configure and use the Tivoli Storage Area Network
Manager (TSANM) agent on the NAS Gateway 500. The TSANM agent collects
SAN-related information for reporting to a TSANM server. Once this information is
collected, analysis and action can be performed on your SAN.
Once the TSANM agent is running, it communicates with the TSANM server and
reports SAN related information. All report creation and generation is performed on
the TSANM server or manager admin client. Refer to the TSANM server
documentation on how to manage your SAN. For more information, go to
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/StorageAreaNetworkManager1.2.html.

Configuring Tivoli SAN Manager agent

You must gather the following information so the NAS Gateway 500 can interface
with the TSANM server:
v TSANM server TCP/IP address
v TSANM server TCP/IP port
v TSANM agent TCP/IP port
SMIT fastpath
The SMIT menu fastpath command is smit tsanmasetconfig.
To use the SMIT interface, go to SMIT→Manage Applications→SAN Management
with Tivoli SAN Manager→Configure SAN Manager Agent. Move the cursor to
Entry Fields to enter or select values. Press Enter.
After the configuration information is entered and saved, you must set the TSANM
agent password.
