Quick Start


Configuring the Server for TCP/IP Using IBM TCP/IP for MVS

TCP/IP provides a reliable protocol and can be easily configured for the TSM server.

Connectivity Support

TCP/IP for MVS Version 2.2 (5735-HAL) or later is required to run the TCP/IP communication method on the TSM server. This requires the following prerequisite products:

In addition, TCP/IP communications requires a suitable communications gateway such as the following:

TCP/IP Communications Setup

Before starting the Tivoli Storage Manager server, make sure that the following TCP/IP job, which includes the TCP/IP address space, has been started: TCPIP

The following TCP/IP jobs must be started if IUCV is available on your system and the IUCV communication method will be used:

VMCF
TNF
Note:IBM did not ship IUCV after OS/390 Release 5.

These are the names of the jobs as distributed with the TCP/IP product. If the names were changed during installation, you must determine the new names and make sure the jobs have been started.

Tivoli Storage Manager Server Setup

Enter the following in the server options file:

You can find the name of the TCP/IP address space in the TCPIP.TCPIP.DATA data set. TCP/IP uses this data set to specify configuration information required by TCP/IP client programs. The following example displays the first part of the TCPIP.TCPIP.DATA set which identifies TCPIP as the name of the TCPIP address space.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|*TCPIPJOBNAME specified the name of the started procedure which was             |
|*used to start the TCPIP address space.   TCPIP is the default.                 |
|*                                                                               |
|TCPIPJOBNAME TCPIP                                                              |
|TCPIPUSERID TCPIP                                                               |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

You can obtain your TCP/IP port address from your network administrator. TCP/IP, when installed, comes with a number of predefined ports. Your network administrator can tell you which one has been assigned to the TSM server. The number of the port is associated with the job name or the started task name for the server.

For example, if TCPIP is the name of your TCP/IP address space and TCP/IP port 1500 has been assigned to the job name of the server, make the following entries in the server options file.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|tcpname tcpip                                                                   |
|tcpport 1500                                                                    |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note:If Tivoli Storage Manager detects during initialization that OS/390 Release 5 is present, it activates Unix System Services socket support.
