This task provides step-by-step instructions about how to start
the TSanM. Ensure that you configure the Tivoli SAN Manager (TSanM) to meet
your requirements.
Perform the following steps to start Tivoli SAN Manager:
- Double-click Tivoli Netview icon on your desktop, or select Start
—> Programs —> Tivoli Console.
- On the menu bar, select SAN —> Agent Configuration and add
the IP addresses of your fibre channel switches into the SNMP Agents list.
- In the SNMP Agent section of the Agent Configuration panel,
select each entry in turn and click Advanced.
- Type the user ID and password for that particular
switch (the manufacturing defaults for user ID is admin and password is passw0rd).
This enables TSanM to access the switch to collect zoning information.
- To enable this access, configure each Fibre Channel switch to
allow SNMP Command Access. Refer to your Fibre Channel switch documentation
for procedures on setting up this access.
- Verify the installation by running a SAN discovery. From the menu
bar, click SAN —> Configure Manager. This displays the Configure Manager
panel
- Select Clear History —> OK.
- Select Cancel on the Configure Manager panel.
- Ensure that the TSanM discovers all expected Fibre Channel connections
and devices. You can visually check that the TSanM discovers all expected
connections and device by displaying the topology map for each fabric and
seeing that all the expected devices are presented.
