Defining

the

Storage

Agent

and

Configuring

Devices

The

following

provides

the

instructions

that

you

need

to

perform

on

the

Tivoli

Storage

Manager

server.

If

further

explanation

is

required,

see

the

Administrator’s

Guide.

1.

If

you

have

not

set

up

Enterprise

management

(server-to-server

communication)

on

this

server,

you

can

do

so

now

with

the

following

commands:

set

servername

tsmsrver

set

serverpassword

not4u

set

serverhladdress

tsmsrver.tucson.ibm.com

set

serverlladdress

1502

set

crossdefine

on

These

commands

establish

the

server’s

name,

password,

and

TCP/IP

address

and

port,

and

allow

other

servers

to

define

a

connection

on

this

server.

Replace

the

example

values

with

values

from

the

server

configuration

information

worksheet.

Note:

The

Server

Password

Set

status

in

the

QUERY

STATUS

output

must

be

equal

to

YES.

You

set

the

server

password

by

issuing

the

SET

SERVERPASSWORD

command

from

a

Tivoli

Storage

Manager

administrative

command

line.

See

the

example

above.

2.

If

you

are

using

an

ACSLS-managed

external

library,

install

Gresham

EDT

or

other

middleware

that

enables

an

external

library.

For

installation

information

about

Gresham

EDT,

see

the

Gresham

documentation.

3.

For

each

client

that

you

want

to

enable

SAN

data

transfer,

define

the

client’s

storage

agent

to

the

Tivoli

Storage

Manager

server

as

if

the

storage

agent

is

a

server.

You

must

use

the

same

name

and

password

that

you

set

for

the

storage

agent

when

you

installed

it

on

the

client

system.

The

DEFINE

SERVER

command

must

be

issued

from

the

Tivoli

Storage

Manager

server

that

will

manage

the

client’s

data.

For

example:

define

server

storagnt

serverpassword=fun4me

hladdress=agent.tucson.ibm.com

lladdress=1500

validateprotocol=all

Note:

The

VALIDATEPROTOCOL

parameter

in

the

previous

example

is

optional.

This

parameter

determines

whether

a

cyclic

redundancy

check

should

be

performed

to

validate

data

on

all

metadata

transferred

between

the

storage

agent

and

the

Tivoli

Storage

Manager

server.

See

the

Administrator’s

Reference

for

additional

information

about

the

DEFINE

SERVER

command.

See

the

Administrator’s

Guide

for

additional

information

about

data

validation.

The

storage

agent

must

also

be

defined

to

the

library

manager.

It

needs

to

be

able

to

contact

the

library

manager

directly

when

making

mount

requests.

If

the

storage

agent

is

only

defined

to

the

client,

it

will

attempt

to

use

information
