Installing Tivoli SAN Manager

This topic describes how to install the Tivoli SAN Manager using the master console installation wizard.

Before you begin installing Tivoli SAN Manager, you must ensure that the SNMP service is started and that a public community string is defined. In addition, you must ensure that SNMP Trap service is set to manual and stopped. To view the services:
  1. Right-click My Computer from the desktop, and then click Manage.
  2. Expand Services and Applications.
  3. Click Services.
  4. Select SNMP Service and verify that the status is set to started.
  5. Right-click SNMP Service and click Properties.
  6. Click the Security tab and verify that there is a public community name with a minimum of Read rights.
  7. Click OK to close the SNMP Service properties dialog.
  8. From the list of services, select SNMP Trap Service. Verify that the status is not set to started and that the startup type is set to manual.

Perform the following steps to install the TSanM manager:

  1. From the master console installation wizard, click Next to start the installation of IBM Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager.
  2. If prompted to insert a different CD, insert it in the CD-ROM drive and enter the CD-ROM drive letter in the location field. Then click OK.
  3. From the Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager setup wizard, perform these steps to install Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager:
    1. Select the language to be used for the installation, and click OK.
    2. At the copyright prompt, click OK.
    3. From the Welcome menu, click Next.
    4. From the License Agreement panel, click I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.
    5. From the Destination Directory panel, click Next to accept the default directory.
    6. From the base port number panel, click Next to accept the default.
    7. From the data repository panel, click DB2, and then click Next.
    8. From the Single/Multiple User ID/Password Choice panel, you can decide to use the DB2 Administrator username and password you specified during the DB2 installation for all IDs and passwords on this panel. You can also choose to use different IDs and passwords for each of the IDs and passwords on this panel. After choosing, click Next.
    9. Enter the DB2 Administrator username and password. Confirm the password and click Next.
      Note: If you chose not to use the DB2 Administrator username and password, you will be prompted for enter IDs and passwords for DB2, Websphere, host authentication, and NetView.
    10. From the database name panel, click Next to accept the default.
    11. From the Tivoli Network installation drive menu, click Next to accept the default.
    12. From the installation confirmation menu, click Next.
    13. When prompted, click Finish to complete the installation of the TSanM manager. Note that the machine will reboot and the master console installation wizard will continue.
  4. From the master console installation wizard, click Next. The master console installation wizard validates the installation of TSanM manager. If the validation is not successful, the Verify TSanM Manager Installation panel displays an error. Correct all errors and restart the master console installation wizard.

Before you continue with the master console software installation, you need to disable the NetView component of Tivoli SAN Manager from receiving traps from the Windows SNMP Trap Service. Both NetView and IBM Director receive traps on the same port by default, which will cause a conflict when SNMP traps are sent from SAN File System or SAN Volume Controller. Therefore, you need to configure IBM Director to forward traps to NetView (you will configure IBM Director to forward traps after installing it).

To disable the NetView component from receiving SNMP traps:
  1. Edit the Windows registry.
  2. Locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tivoli\NetView\CurrentVersion
  3. Change the value of trapdSharePort162 to 0.
  4. Add a value called trapdTrapReceptionPort, and set it to an available port number, such as 9950. (Add the value as a DWord value with a decimal base).
    Tip: Remember the port number that you set here. You will refer to that number when you modify the IBM Director configuration.
  5. Close the Windows registry.
  6. Open a Command Prompt window.
  7. Remove the NetView service.
    C:\usr\ov\bin\nvservice -remove
  8. Reinstall the NetView service (which will remove the dependency on the SNMP Trap Service).
    C:\usr\ov\bin\nvservice -install -username .\NetView -password password
    where password is the password of the local NetView account.
