Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Workstations, Version 6.1.2

Viewing the last reported configuration of a client

View configuration data reported from the client. Because clients can modify their data-protection settings, the current configuration can be different from a configuration that the administrator deployed.

Before you begin

This task assumes that the central administration console discovered some clients.

About this task

The client periodically pushes configuration information to the administration folder. If you send a script that contains the Report command, the client responds with a report that includes configuration information. The configuration information is as recent as the date in the Last Report column in the Health view of the Clients task.

Procedure

  1. Open the Clients task. The Clients panel displays the following tabs: Health, Storage, and Deployment.
  2. Select the client whose current configuration you want to see.
  3. Click the Actions menu.
  4. Click View the Last Known Configuration of a Client. The current data-protection settings are displayed.

What to do next

If the current configuration does not match the group configuration, you can resend the group configuration to the client. To resend the group configuration to the client, reassign the client to the group.
