Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris: Managed System for SAN Storage Agent User's Guide
Do the following:
- Start the Storage Agent
- Verify the Configuration
Start the storage agent as follows:
- Reboot the client system.
- Change to the storage agent directory and issue the following
command:
dsmsta
When the storage agent starts, it determines if the TSM server is a library
client or library manager. If the TSM server is a library client, the
storage agent uses information about the library manager from the library
client in order to cross define itself to the library manager.
To verify that you have configured your system correctly for LAN-free data
movement, perform the following procedure:
- Run a backup operation from the client. If you receive a message
saying that the backup has been successful, you have configured your system
correctly.
- Ensure the following if you receive a message saying that the backup has
failed.
- Note:
- If you retry the backup operation after the first failure, the client
attempts to use the LAN connection for data movement. The client will
continue to use the LAN until the client is stopped and restarted.
- The TSM server is running. If the TSM server is not running, the
storage agent will not start.
- The client, storage agent, and server are communicating with each other as
expected.
- The drive mapping is correctly defined.
- All drives in a library have been mapped on the server.
Use the following guidelines to help determine whether the data movement is
using the LAN-free environment:
