At this point you have installed, set up, and started the Tivoli Storage Manager server, and administrative and backup-archive clients. This chapter describes customizing Tivoli Storage Manager by doing the following:
The customization described here does not include all Tivoli Storage
Manager functions. However, it does provide a flexible, powerful system
that can meet most customers' needs. If the server that you have
just installed will be part of a network of TSM servers, your customization
tasks may be affected. For example, your server may receive
configuration information from a server that is designated as a configuration
manager. This information could include objects such as administrator
definitions, policy definitions, and server definitions. On the other
hand, your server may be the configuration manager, and your definitions will
be provided to a network of managed servers. In addition, you may have
to define one or more other servers to your server. For details, see
Administrator's Guide.
![]() | The TSM server must be running to perform the tasks described here. Start the server if it is not running (see Starting and Stopping the Server for the procedure). |
