Quick Start


Where To Go From Here

Refer to Chapter 1, Introducing Tivoli Storage Manager to learn more about the full range of TSM function. Before setting up a production environment, it is important to take the time to understand the TSM approach to storage management. To further explore the capabilities of TSM, you can use the configuration and management wizards described on page "Configuration and Management Wizards" to customize the TSM server instance you just created.

Default Configuration Results describes in detail the default TSM environment created during the configuration process.

Ready to Set Up Your Production Environment?

To set up a full production environment, you can extend the test server you created, or remove it and perform a standard configuration to create a new server instance. The best method depends on the complexity of your storage environment. In many cases, it is more efficient to remove the server instance and configure a new one.

Extending a Server Instance

If you extend the server instance created during minimal configuration, any data backed up during your evaluation will be preserved. You should consider moving the server database, recovery log, disk, and file volumes to optimize performance. If you plan to use any Tivoli Data Protection clients, or want to improve security, you should change open client registration to closed. See the Administrator's Guide for more information.

To extend the server instance using the wizard-based process, do the following:

  1. Double-click the TSM Management Console- IconTSM Management Console icon on the desktop.

    The TSM Console window opens.

  2. Expand the Tivoli Storage Manager tree in the left pane, expand the local machine name, and expand TSM Server1.
  3. Click Wizards.

    A list of wizards appears in the right pane.

  4. Select Initial Configuration and click Start.

    The Initial Configuration Task List appears.

  5. Select Standard Configuration and click Start.

    The Initial Configuration Environment Wizard appears.

  6. Proceed through the sequence of wizards to extend the server configuration.

Removing a Server Instance

If you remove the server instance created during minimal configuration, any data backed up during your evaluation will be lost. However, when you create a new server, you will be able to take performance data into consideration when defining your TSM volumes, and closed client registration will be set by default.

To quickly delete a TSM server instance (without removing the server code), do the following:

  1. Double-click the TSM Management Console- IconTSM Management Console icon on the desktop.

    The TSM Console window opens.

  2. Expand the Tivoli Storage Manager tree in the left pane and expand the local machine name.
  3. Right-click TSM Server1 and select Delete Server Instance.
  4. Click the Select All button to mark all TSM server components for deletion.
    Note:
    During server initialization, it is possible to change the default location for data files. If you changed any default settings, carefully review the list to ensure that only the correct files are selected.
  5. Click the Delete button.

See Performing the Initial Configuration for standard server configuration instructions.
