Quick Start


Chapter 4. Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager

The Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows server provides a graphical interface called the TSM Console, which includes a set of wizards that help you configure and manage your TSM system. One or more of these wizards is presented each time you add a new TSM server instance. You can choose from two wizard-based configuration paths:

Standard configuration
Choose this option to initialize and configure a server. A series of wizards is presented in sequence to guide you through the initial configuration process. This is the recommended configuration path for setting up a functional production environment.

Minimal configuration
Choose this option to quickly initialize a TSM server instance and perform a test backup of data located on the TSM server machine. This configuration allows you to quickly evaluate basic function.

While all TSM configuration and management tasks can also be performed using the command-line interface, the wizards are the preferred method for initial configuration. You can return to individual wizards after the initial configuration to update settings and perform management tasks. Refer to Configuration and Management Wizards for more information.

This chapter contains an overview of the wizard-based initial configuration process and instructions for performing the initial configuration.
