Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Quick Start


Chapter 2. Performing the Initial Configuration

After you have installed the Tivoli Storage Manager server and restarted your computer, the Server Utilities automatically starts and prompts you to perform the initial configuration of your server. The Initial Configuration wizard guides you through the process and provides extensive online help.

Note:To access the online help, click Help from the menu bar and select Online information. Common problems and their solutions are described under Questions and Answers.
If you are not familiar with Tivoli Storage Manager functions and concepts, you should read the brief overview of the product in Appendix A, Tivoli Storage Manager Concepts before you begin.

This chapter contains an overview of the initial configuration wizards and more detailed descriptions of each wizard in the same sequence in which the Server Utilities displays them.

The initial configuration does not include all Tivoli Storage Manager functions, but it meets the needs of most customers. The Initial Configuration wizard helps you configure a single server. If you have purchased the Enterprise Administration feature and plan to configure a network of servers, you must perform additional tasks. For details, see the chapter on working with a network of servers in the Administrator's Guide.


Attention

If you intend to configure Tivoli Storage Manager for use in a server cluster environment, there are certain tasks that you must complete before you begin the initial configuration of the Tivoli Storage Manager server. See Appendix D, Setting Up Clustering before continuing with this section.
