16.3.3 Configuring the Storage Agent
In order for the Storage Agent to communicate with the server instance,
server-to-server communication is required. In 16.2, “Server setup for LAN-free”
on page 528, we prepared our Tivoli Storage Manager server for this
communication by setting up the server name, password, address, and port of
the server instance.
Register Storage Agent on Tivoli Storage Manager server
Now we need to define the Storage Agent on the server. This is similar to the
server-to-server configuration. You define a unique Storage Agent name, a
password, a communication path (IP address or DNS name) to the Storage
Agent, and the IP port the agent listens on (see Example 16-9).
Example 16-9 Defining Storage Agent on the server for server-to-server communication
tsm: ATLANTIC>
define server sta_diomede serverpassword=sta_diomede532 \
cont> hladdress=diomede.itsosj.sanjose.ibm.com lladdress=1502 \
cont> description="Storage Agent on Diomede"
ANR1660I Server STA_DIOMEDE defined successfully.
Customize Storage Agent configuration file
The next step is to edit the Storage Agent configuration file. This is analogous to
the server options file, and is called dsmsta.opt, located in the installation path.
There are numerous options you may set; however, for the basic setup you need
only the devconfig and tcpport options (see Example 16-10). Since the devconfig
option is by default set to devconfig.txt, we only need to change the default
TCPPORT for the Storage Agent to the value defined in Example 16-9 (that is,
1502), and then we can proceed with the Storage Agent service setup.
Example 16-10 Option file dsmsta.opt
DEVCONFIG devconfig.txt
TCPPORT 1502
Note: On Windows Server 2003 systems, devices are automatically controlled
by the default Windows Device Driver, even if you install the IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager driver (TSMSCSI). In this case, you must manually update the
controlling driver for each device you want to be controlled by TSMSCSI. For
details on the configuration procedure see IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for
SAN for Windows Storage Agent User’s Guide, GC32-0785.
