6. Configuring Clients (Nodes)


A client is defined as any TSM node that will be backed up using SBAdmin.

Any number of clients may be added to the administrator as long as the total number of clients does not exceed
the number of clients licensed to SBAdmin. Note that the administrator itself also includes a client license, so it
may be configured as a client or server without using one of your additional client licenses.

Adding a Client

Any client may be added to the administrator by simply adding its hostname. However, the number of clients
which may be added is dependent on the number of clients the administrator is licensed for. Also, any client
hostname may be added, but the client is only accessible to the administrator after the software has been
installed and configured onto the client system as well.

The following information is needed before configuring a TSM client:

Node Name (required)
Password (required if using PASSWORDAccess “prompt” on the server)
