Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Quick Start


Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager Server, Clients, and Server Utilities

The Tivoli Storage Manager server and the Server Utilities are installed by the procedure described in this chapter. During server initialization, a default administrative client and backup-archive client are installed and registered with the server as described in Table 2. For later use, you should note these IDs and passwords.

Table 2. Clients Registered During Server Initialization

Client ID Name Password Authority
Administrative client admin admin system
Backup-archive client client client N/A

During the installation procedure, you select one of the following types of installation: TYPICAL, COMPACT, or CUSTOM. Table 3 shows the difference between TYPICAL, which is recommended for most customers, and COMPACT. CUSTOM allows you to select and install any components.

Installing Tivoli Storage Manager



Attention

If you intend to configure Tivoli Storage Manager in a Windows server cluster, there are steps you should take before you install the Tivoli Storage Manager servers on the cluster node machines. See Chapter 2, Performing the Initial Configuration for details.

Before you install, ensure that you are logged on to Windows with a user name having administrator authority.

Do the following:

  1. Insert the TSM CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The setup program automatically starts (autorun) after you load the CD-ROM. If autorun is disabled, double-click on setup.exe in the CD root directory.
  2. Read the Welcome dialog and click Next. The Information dialog appears.
  3. Click the Read Me First button, read the information, and then click Next. The Choose Destination Location dialog appears.
  4. The default root directory for Tivoli Storage Manager is \Program Files\Tivoli\TSM. To choose a different installation directory, click the Browse button. The directory that you choose becomes the root directory. Either accept the default or choose another location, and then click Next. The Setup Type dialog appears.
  5. Select a setup type (the default is Typical). See Table 3 for a description of the Typical and Compact installation options. Click Next. The Select Program Folder dialog appears.
  6. The default program folder is Tivoli Storage Manager. Click Next to accept the default, or enter a new name, or click one of the Existing Folder options, and then click Next. The Start Copying Files dialog appears.
  7. Review the current settings and click Next. The progress dialog appears showing the files installation process. When the process completes, a Setup Complete dialog appears.

  8. Choose whether to restart the computer now or later, and then click Finish. If you choose to restart your computer later, Read Me information is displayed.
    Note:We recommend that you restart the computer. When you restart the computer, Windows recognizes the TSM device driver and includes TSM in event logging. Also, the Server Utilities dialog appears so that you can immediately perform an initial configuration of your TSM server. See Chapter 2, Performing the Initial Configuration for details.


Attention

If you have problems starting the server after installation, go to your server instance directory, for example tivoli\tsm\server1, and check the initserv.log file for error statements:

If you cannot fix the problem and contact technical support, you may be asked for these files for problem determination.

The default installation directories have changed for Tivoli Storage Manager Version 3.7. If you have previously used Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) to create a disaster recovery plan file, that file refers to path names that may no longer be valid. After you have installed Tivoli Storage Manager, you should back up your storage pools and database and create a new disaster recovery plan file. For the sequence and details of the procedure, see the "Using Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager" chapter in the Administrator's Guide.



A Closer Look Symbol

The following will happen when the Server Initialization Wizard runs:

  • The server database and recovery log are initialized. The results are logged to the initserv.log file in the server directory.
  • The server initial configuration is applied. The results are logged to the initserv.log file in the server directory.

    The default administrative client and backup-archive client are registered. See Table 2 for the default ID names and passwords.

  • A 4MB disk storage volume is created and defined to the DISKPOOL storage pool.
  • Three default storage pools are defined: BACKUPPOOL, ARCHIVEPOOL, and SPACEMGPOOL. All three point to DISKPOOL by default.

Installing Multiple Servers on a Single Machine

You may wish to install multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers on a single machine. This is necessary if you are configuring in a cluster. You may also want to run more than one server on a large machine if you have multiple tape libraries or a disk-only configuration. Use the Server Initialization wizard to install multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers on a single machine (see Initializing the Server for details).

Table 3 contains a comparison of the Typical and Compact installation types. Table 4 shows the components that are installed for all installation types when you run the Server Initialization wizard (see Initializing the Server for details).
