Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Administrator's Guide


Chapter 10. Managing Client Nodes

This chapter contains information about managing client nodes, application clients, and Tivoli Data Protection (TDP) host servers that have been installed and configured. For information about installing and configuring client nodes, see Chapter 9, Adding Client Nodes.

Note:The TSM server views its registered clients, application clients, host servers, and source servers as nodes. In a general sense, the TSM server considers all of these entities as a client. The term nodes in this chapter refers to the following type of clients and servers as client nodes:
  • Tivoli Data Protection (TDP) host servers
  • Tivoli Data Protection application clients
  • Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client
  • Tivoli Storage Manager source server registered as a node on a target server

Administrators can manage client nodes and control their access to the TSM server. See the following sections for more information:

Tasks:

In this chapter, most examples illustrate how to perform tasks by using the TSM command line interface. For information about the TSM commands, see Administrator's Reference, or issue the HELP command from the command line of a TSM administrative client.

All of the TSM commands can be performed from the administrative Web interface. For more information about using the administrative interface, see Quick Start.
