Using Tivoli Storage Resource Manager (TSRM)

This section describes how to configure and use the Tivoli Storage Resource
Manager (TSRM) agent on the NAS Gateway 500.

Establishing quotas with TSRM

An active TSRM agent collects information about the users and system for reporting
to a TSRM server. Once the information has been sent to the TSRM server, quotas
can be activated for alerts on certain users or groups.
After the TSRM agent is running, it communicates with the TSRM server and starts
reporting storage and user-related information. All report creation and generation is
performed on the TSRM server or manager administration client. For information
about the Tivoli Storage Resource Manager server refer to
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/tdprodlist.html#S.
