Identify a folder that is accessible to the central administration console and Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBack
for Workstations clients.
Before you begin
If you want to associate an administration folder with a group,
you must first create a group.
Procedure
- Open the Administration Settings task. The administration tables are displayed.
- In the Administration Folders section,
click Actions.
- Click Identify an Administration Folder. The Identify an Administration Folder panel
is displayed.
- Enter data in the required fields.
- Alias
- Enter a name that helps you identify this administration folder.
Each alias must be unique.
- Administration folder
- Enter a CIFS (Common Internet File System) file server Web address.
For example, \\server\sharename\folder. The administration
folder must be accessible to both the clients and the central administration console. Each
administration folder must be unique.
- Select optional items.
- Select a group for new clients
- Selecting a group has the following consequences.
- You can create a configuration file for installation packages.
When an administration folder is associated with a group, you
can create a configuration file that has the protection settings of
the group. The created configuration file contains a setting for the
administration folder.
If a group is associated with more than
one administration folder, you can create similar configuration files.
Each created configuration file has the same protections settings
except for the value of the administration folder.
If an administration
folder is associated with no group (Group = none),
you cannot create a configuration file when you select that administration
folder.
- When a new client initially contacts the administration folder,
the client is added to the group.
- Using the configuration file that you created, a new client accesses
the administration folder, and becomes a member of the group.
- Existing clients that contact this administration folder and are
members of group none are added to the group.
If a client belongs to any group besides none,
changing the value of Select a group for new clients does
not assign the client to the selected group.
- Select a script for new clients
When a new client initially contacts the administration folder,
this script is sent to the client.
If a client was discovered
at this administration folder, changing the value of Select a script for new clients does
not send a script to the client. Similarly, if a client was using
this administration folder before the administration folder is identified
to the central administration console,
changing the value of Select a script for new clients does
not send a script to the client.
- Click OK. The administration
folder is displayed in the table in the Administration Folders section.
