There are four types of interfaces to Tivoli Storage Manager:
The TSM server must be running for the client GUIs to start.
For information about using the GUIs, see the online information or see Quick Start.
The administrative Web interface allows you to access TSM server functions from any workstation with a Web browser that has the appropriate support for Java. See Quick Start for information about the administrative Web interface.
The Web backup-archive client (Web client) allows an authorized user to remotely access a client to run backup, archive, restore, and retrieve processes. The Web browser must have the appropriate support for Java. See Tivoli Storage Manager Installing the Clients for requirements.
