Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Quick Start
You must configure one TSM server on the initial, or active, node and one
TSM server on the passive node. See the next two sections for
details.
Note: | You must perform configuration on the initial node first. If you try
to perform configuration on the passive node first, it fails.
|
The installation of TSM may result in a re-boot of your system. If
the system is re-booted, ensure that the TSM group and disk resources are
again online and owned by the node at which TSM is being configured.
From the TSM Server Utilities, do the following:
- Start the Initial Configuration Wizard as described in Chapter 2, Performing the Initial Configuration and continue to Cluster Configuration Wizard.
Note: | The Cluster Configuration Wizard displays only if Windows detects that a
server cluster environment exists.
|
- When the Server Initialization Wizard detects a cluster
environment, it asks you to select a cluster group for the initial server
instance and later the Cluster Configuration Wizard will run. During
the Server Initialization the Windows Cluster is detected. Click
Yes to configure TSM in a Windows Cluster. When the TSM
Initial Configuration wizard runs, it detects the cluster and asks if you want
to use the cluster for this server instance. Respond Yes,
and click Next. You must select the cluster group into which
this server instance will be placed.
- The Cluster Environment dialog appears and asks if you want to
configure Tivoli Storage Manager for use in a cluster environment.
- After the Server Initialization Wizard completes, the TSM Cluster
Configuration wizard begins. The wizard asks you to select a
group. Select the same group you picked in step 2, which is the default.
- You will be asked to specify an IP address, subnet mask, the network to be
used, and a network name. Enter the information from your planning
worksheet. After the Cluster Configuration Wizard completes, continue
with the initial configuration (as described in Using the Initial Configuration Wizards).
Attention: After completing the initial configuration, stop
the server instance from the TSM Server Utilities.
The cluster configuration is not complete and usable until you have
completed the procedure described in Configuring TSM on the Passive Node.
After you complete an active installation on one node, you can configure
TSM on a passive node.
- From the Cluster Administrator, move the resource group to the passive
node
- From the TSM Server Utilities, cancel the Initial Configuration
wizard. Initial Configuration of the server instance to be used here
was already performed during the Active Installation process.
- Select and start the TSM Server Initialization wizard.
- During the Server Initialization processing, the Windows Cluster is
detected. The wizard asks if you want to use the cluster for this
server instance. Click Yes and then Next.
- Select the group where this server instance will
reside. Make a note of this group name. It must match the group
selected during the active node configuration.
- Select and start the Cluster Configuration wizard. This time you
will not be asked to provide an IP Address, Subnet mask, and Network
name. The values provided during active node configuration will be
used.
- Select the same group as in step 5 and verify the requested information from your planning
worksheet.
- After the Cluster Configuration Wizard completes, the active/passive
cluster is configured, and the server instance is stopped.
At this point, you have completed an active/passive configuration.
For details about managing TSM, see Managing TSM on a Cluster.
To create an active/active configuration, go to Creating Additional Virtual Servers.
Creating additional server instances is a two-phase process:
- Phase One
- From the Cluster Administrator:
- Verify that all nodes in the cluster are online. The minimum
requirement is two nodes.
- Verify that the group is online and owned by the node where you will be
installing the server instance. Move groups as needed. All disk
resources in the group must also be online.
- From the Server Utilities:
- Start the Initial Configuration Wizard.
- Select Configure a New Server. Make all other selections
based on your environment.
- During server initialization your Windows cluster is detected.
Click Yes to configure TSM in a Windows Cluster.
- Click the group where this server instance will reside.
- During the Cluster Configuration, select the same group as in the previous
step and enter the requested information from your planning worksheet.
- After the Cluster Configuration Wizard completes, continue with the TSM
initial configuration.
Attention: After initial configuration is completed, stop the
server instance from the Server Utilities.
- Phase Two
- From the Cluster Administrator:
- Verify that all nodes in the cluster are online. The minimum
requirement is two nodes.
- Verify that the group is online and owned by the node where you will be
installing the initial server instance. Move groups as needed.
All disk resources in the group must also be online.
- From the Server Utilities:
- Cancel the TSM Initial Configuration wizard.
- Select and start the TSM Server Initialization wizard.
- During server initialization the Windows Cluster is detected. Click
Yes to configure TSM in a Windows Cluster.
- Click the group where this server instance will
reside. This is the same group that you selected in phase one.
Note: | Remember this group name, you will need to select the same group during the
Cluster Configuration Wizard.
|
- Select and start the Cluster Configuration wizard.
- During the Cluster Configuration, select the same group as in 2d and verify the displayed information from your planning
worksheet.
- Ensure that the correct server instance is selected on the Logon
Information dialog.
- After the Cluster Configuration Wizard completes, TSM is in an
active/active cluster configuration.
Note: | Use only the Cluster Administrator to manage this TSM server resource
group.
