SANDISCOVERY

Specifies

whether

the

Tivoli

Storage

Manager

SAN

discovery

function

is

enabled.

When

set

to

ON,

the

storage

agent

will

perform

SAN

discovery

in

the

following

instances:

v

During

storage

agent

initialization

v

When

the

device

path

has

been

changed

and

there

is

a

conflict

between

the

device

serial

number

and

the

device

path

provided

by

the

server

Using

SAN

discovery,

the

storage

agent

can

automatically

correct

the

device’s

special

file

name

if

it

has

been

changed.

If

the

HBA

used

by

the

storage

agent

does

not

support

SAN

device

mapping,

you

should

set

the

SANDISCOVERY

option

to

OFF.

For

information

about

Tivoli

Storage

Manager

supported

HBAs

for

SAN

device

mapping,

see

www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/

support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html

The

storage

agent

does

not

require

persistent

binding

with

the

SAN

discovery

function

enabled.

STAMaxpooledsessions

number

Specifies

the

number

of

individual

sessions

that

are

allowed

to

start

and

stop

between

the

storage

agent

and

the

Tivoli

Storage

Manager

server.

The

range

of

values

is

0

-

150,

with

a

default

of

25.

Each

session

is

governed

by

the

IDLETIMEOUT

option

and

is

stopped

when

the

timeout

value

is

exceeded.

If

the

storage

agent

needs

more

sessions

than

specified,

additional

sessions

are

allowed.

Although

the

default

value

is

typically

sufficient,

setting

this

option

with

a

low

number

can

adversely

affect

performance.

Be

aware

that

if

the

storage

agent

has

multiple

client

sessions,

increasing

the

value

of

this

option

will

help

support

these

sessions.

TCPADMINPORT

number

Specifies

the

port

number

on

which

the

server

TCP/IP

communication

driver

is

to

wait

for

requests

for

sessions

other

than

client

sessions.

This

includes

administrative

sessions,

server-to-server

sessions,

SNMP

subagent

sessions,

storage

agent

sessions,

library

client

sessions,

managed

server

sessions,

and

event

server

sessions.

The

default

is

the

value

of

TCPPORT.

Using

different

port

numbers

for

the

options

TCPPORT

and

TCPADMINPORT

enables

you

to

create

one

set

of

firewall

rules

for

client

sessions

and

another

set

for

the

other

session

types

listed

above.

By

using

the

SESSIONINITIATION

parameter

of

REGISTER

and

UPDATE

NODE,

you

can

close

the

port

specified

by

TCPPORT

at

the

firewall,

and

specify

nodes

whose

scheduled

sessions

will

be

started

from

the

server.

If

the

two

port

numbers

are

different,

separate

threads

will

be

used

to

service

client

sessions

and

the

session

types.

If

you

allow

the

two

options

to

use

the

same

port

number

(by

default

or

by

explicitly

setting

them

to

the

same

port

number),

a

single

server

thread

will

be

used

to

service

all

session

requests.

Client

sessions

which

attempt

to

use

the

port

specified

by

TCPADMINPORT

will

be

terminated

(if

TCPPORT

and

TCPADMINPORT

specify

different

ports).

Administrative

sessions

are

allowed

on

either

port,

(unless

the

ADMINONCLIENTPORT

option

is

set

to

NO)

but

by

default

will

use

the

port

specified

by

TCPADMINPORT.

THROUGHPUTDatathreshold

kilobytes_per_second

Specifies

the

throughput

that

client

sessions

must

achieve

to

prevent

cancellation

after

THROUGHPUTTimethreshold

minutes

have

elapsed.
