Managed System for SAN Storage Agent User's Guide
To use the Managed System for SAN feature configure the following
components at the latest available software levels. See http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html
- Your SAN configuration must meet the applicable hardware and software
requirements (see http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/san/overview.html).
- TCP/IP is required for communication among the TSM server, the client, and
the storage agent.
- A Tivoli Storage Manager server with this feature (version
5.1.0 or higher). The server and the storage agent must
be at the same version, release, and maintenance level. The TSM servers
for the AIX(R), HP-UX, Sun Solaris, and Windows operating systems support
the Managed System for SAN feature.
- A Tivoli Storage Management client or a Tivoli Data Protection
client). Client software must be installed on a client system (check http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html
for the clients that are currently supporting the Managed System for SAN
feature).
- A Tivoli Storage Manager storage agent. The storage agent must be
installed on the same system as the client software. Also, the storage
agent must be at the same level as the server with which it communicates
(including maintenance (PTF) level). You can download the latest PTF
from the Tivoli Web site at http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html.
- The TSM application program interface (API) software must be at the
version 4.2 or higher. You can obtain the API by downloading the
latest version of the backup-archive client for Sun from the Web site at http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html.
- If you are sharing disk storage, Tivoli SANergy Version 2.2 or
higher must be installed.
- Note:
- If you are sharing only tape devices, Tivoli SANergy is not required.
- If you are using External library support in conjunction with the Gresham
product, Gresham EDT DistribuTAPE 6.2.2.0 or higher must
be installed. For additional information and product download, see http:www.greshamstorage.com/products/download/distributape.html.
