If you are upgrading a Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.1.x server to Version 6.2, see Chapter 6, Upgrading from Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.1, on page 77. If you are upgrading an existing Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 server to a later level of Version 6.2, see Chapter 9, Installing a Tivoli Storage Manager server fix pack, on page 95. Before you install IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for the first time, familiarize yourself with the following items: v The operating system that is running on the Tivoli Storage Manager server workstation. v The operating systems that are running on any Tivoli Storage Manager client workstations. v Storage devices that will be available to Tivoli Storage Manager. v Communication protocols that are installed on your clients and servers. Restriction: You can install and run the Version 6.2 server on a system that already has DB2 installed on it, whether DB2 was installed by itself or as part of some other application, with some restrictions. For details, see Compatibility of the Tivoli Storage Manager server with other DB2 products on the system on page 5. Users who are experienced DB2 administrators can choose to perform advanced SQL queries and use DB2 tools to monitor the database. However, do not use DB2 tools to change DB2 configuration settings from those that are preset by Tivoli Storage Manager, or alter the DB2 environment for Tivoli Storage Manager in other ways, such as with other products. The Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 server has been built and tested extensively using the data definition language (DDL) and database configuration that Tivoli Storage Manager deploys.

Chapter 1. Planning to install the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server

System requirements
The Tivoli Storage Manager server can require a large amount of memory, network bandwidth, and processor resources. In many cases, the server performs best when other applications are not installed on the same system.

Hardware requirements
Table 7 describes the minimum hardware requirements that are needed for your AIX system. For more details about planning disk space, see Capacity planning on page 6.
Table 7. Hardware requirements Type of hardware Hardware Disk space Hardware requirements An appropriately configured 64-bit p4, p5, or p6 System p computer. The following minimum disk space: v 5 MB for the /var directory v 10 MB for the /opt directory if you create mount points v 2 GB for the /opt/tivoli/tsm directory if you create mount points

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Memory

v 360 MB for the /tmp directory v 300 MB for the /usr directory v 2 GB in the home directory Significant additional disk space is required for database and log files. The size of the database depends on the number of client files to be stored and the method by which the server manages them. The default active log space is 16 GB, the minimum that is needed for most workloads and configurations. Allocate at least three times the active log space for the archive log (48 GB). Ensure that you have sufficient resources if you are using deduplication or expect a heavy client workload. For optimal performance and to facilitate I/O, specify at least four separate directories or Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) to be used by the database and logs. This allows I/O to be balanced across multiple directories or mounts. v 12 GB. v 16 GB if you are using deduplication. v If you plan to run multiple instances, each instance requires the memory listed for one server. Multiply the memory for one server by the number of instances planned for the system.

Software requirements
Table 8 on page 5 describes the minimum software requirements that are needed for your AIX system.

Compatibility of the Tivoli Storage Manager server with other DB2 products on the system
You can install other products that deploy and use DB2 products on the same system as the Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 server on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Sun Solaris platforms, with some limitations. To install and use other products that use a DB2 product on the same system as the Tivoli Storage Manager server, ensure that the following criteria are met: v The other products that use a DB2 product must be using DB2 version 9 or later. DB2 products introduced product encapsulation and segregation support beginning with version 9. With this support, you can run multiple copies of DB2

Chapter 1. Planning to install the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server

products, at different code levels, on the same system. For details, see the information about multiple DB2 copies: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/ infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/index.jsp. v When you install different DB2 products on the system that has the Tivoli Storage Manager server, ensure that the user IDs, fence user IDs, installation location, other directories, and related information that you specify are different from all the IDs and locations that you used for the Tivoli Storage Manager server installation and configuration. If you used the dsmicfgx wizard or dsmupgdx wizard to configure Version 6.2 or upgrade the server from Version 5.5, these are values that you entered when running the wizard. If you used the manual configuration for Version 6.2 or upgrade from Version 5.5 procedures, review the procedures that you used if necessary, to recall the values that were used for the server. v Carefully consider the resources and capability of the system compared to the requirements for both the Tivoli Storage Manager server and the other applications that use the DB2 product. To provide sufficient resources for the other DB2 applications, you might need to change the Tivoli Storage Manager server settings so that the server uses less system memory and resources. Similarly, if the workloads for the other DB2 applications compete with the Tivoli Storage Manager server for processor or memory resources, the performance of the server in handling the expected client workload or other server operations might be adversely affected. To segregate resources and provide more capability for the tuning and allocation of processor, memory, and other system resources for multiple applications, consider using logical partition (LPAR), workload partition (WPAR), or other virtual machine support. For example, run a DB2 application in its own virtualized machine.

Capacity planning
Planning for Tivoli Storage Manager includes determining the number of client nodes to be managed by the Tivoli Storage Manager server, the backup and recovery needs of those clients, and the number and general size of client data files.

Estimating database space requirements

The size of the database depends on the number of client files to be stored and the method by which the server manages them. If you can estimate the maximum number of files that might be in server storage at any time, you can estimate the database size from the following information: v Each stored version of a file requires about 600 - 1000 bytes of database space. v Each cached file, copy storage pool file, and active-data pool file, and deduplicated file requires about an additional 100 - 200 bytes of database space. v Overhead can require up to 50% in additional space. In the following example for a single client, the computations are probable maximums. In addition, the numbers are not based on using file aggregation. In general, aggregation of small files reduces the required database space. Assume the following numbers for a Tivoli Storage Manager system: Versions of files

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

Backed up files Up to 500,000 client files might be backed up. Storage policies call for keeping up to three copies of backed up files:
500,000 files x 3 copies = 1,500,000 files

Archived files Up to 100,000 files might be archived copies of client files. Space-managed files Up to 200,000 files migrated from client workstations might be in server storage. Note: File aggregation does not affect space-managed files. At 1000 bytes per file, the space required for these files is:
(1 500,000 + 100,000 + 200,000) x 1000 = 1.8GB

Cached, copy storage pool, active-data pool files, and deduplicated files Cached copies Caching is enabled in a 5 GB disk storage pool. The high and low migration thresholds of the pool are 90% and 70%. Thus, 20% of the disk pool, or 1 GB, is occupied by cached files. If the average file size is about 10 KB, about 100,000 files are in cache at any one time.
100,000 files x 200 bytes = 19MB

Copy storage pool files All primary storage pools are backed up to the copy storage pool:
(1,500,000 + 100,000 + 200,000) x 200 bytes = 343MB

Active-data pool files All the active client-backup data in primary storage pools is copied to the active-data pool. Assume that 500,000 versions of the 1 500 000 backup files in the primary storage pool are active.
500,000 x 200 bytes = 95 MB

Deduplicated files Assume that a deduplicated storage pool contains 50,000 files.
50,000 x 200 bytes = 10 MB

Therefore, cached files, copy storage pool files, and active-data pool files, and deduplicated storage pool files require about an additional 0.5 GB of database space. Overhead About 2.3 GB is required for file versions, cached copies, copy storage pool files, and active-data pool files. Allow up to 50% additional space (or 1.2 GB) for overhead. The database should then have at least 3.5 GB per client. During SQL queries of the server, intermediate results are stored in temporary tables that require space in the free portion of the database. Therefore, using SQL queries requires additional database space. The more complicated the queries, the greater the space that is required. Tip:

Chapter 1. Planning to install the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server

v In the preceding examples, the results are estimates. The actual size of the database might differ from the estimate because of factors such as the number of directories and the length of the path and file names. As a best practice, periodically monitor your database and adjust its size as necessary. v If you cannot estimate the numbers of files, you can roughly estimate the database size as from 1% to 5% of the required server storage space. For example, if you need 100 GB of server storage, your database should be 1 - 5 GB.

Recovery log space requirements

The recovery log space that you require depends on the amount of client activity with the server.

Active log space

Ensuring that the recovery log has enough space is essential for a V6.2 server. | | | | | | | | | The default size of the active log is 16,384 MB (16 GB). Under normal server operations, you are likely to need an active log that is larger than the default. The maximum size of the active log is 131,072 MB (128 GB). The minimum size of the active log is 2048 MB (2 GB). When estimating the size of the active log, ensure that the active log is large enough to handle not only the amount of concurrent activity that the server typically handles, but also higher workloads that can occur occasionally or under unusual conditions. Try to anticipate the greatest amount of workload that the server might need to handle. For simple backup and archive activity with no data deduplication, 20 GB for the active log is adequate. If you use data deduplication, and if you deduplicate large objects (for example, image backups), use an active log size that is 20% of the database size. Monitor the space usage and adjust the size of the active log as needed. To change the size of the active log, see the Administrator's Guide and search for increasing the active log size.

Active log mirror space

The active log mirror is a copy of the active log that can be used if the active log files cannot be read. There can be only one active log mirror. Creating a log mirror is optional. If you increase the size of the active log, the log mirror size is increased automatically. Be aware that mirroring the log can affect performance because of the doubled I/O activity that is required to maintain the mirror. The additional space that the log mirror requires is another factor to consider when deciding whether to create a log mirror.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

Archive log space

The size of the archive log depends on the number of objects stored by client nodes between full backups of the database. To recover space, a full backup of the database causes obsolete archive log files to be pruned. The archive log files that are included in a backup are automatically pruned on a full database backup cycle. Therefore, the archive log must be large enough to contain the logs generated since the previous two full backups. If you perform a full backup of the database every day, the archive log must be large enough to hold the log files for client activity that occurs over two days. Typically 600 - 4000 bytes of log space are used when an object is stored in the server. Therefore you can estimate a starting size for the archive log using the following calculation:
objects stored per day x 3000 bytes per object x 2 days

For example:
5,000,000 objects/day x 3000 bytes/object x 2 days = 30,000,000,000 bytes, or 30 GB

It is important to maintain adequate space for the archive log directory. If the drive or file system where the archive log directory is located becomes full and there is no archive failover log directory, the data remains in the active log directory. This condition can cause the active log to fill up, which causes the server to stop.

Archive failover log space

The archive failover log is used by the server if the archive log directory runs out of space. Specifying an archive failover log directory can prevent problems that occur if the archive log runs out of space. If both the archive log directory and the drive or file system where the archive failover log directory is located become full, the data remains in the active log directory. This condition can cause the active log to fill up, which causes the server to halt.

Server naming best practices

Coordinating the names for the different items associated with a server instance can make your life easier.

Instance user ID
The instance user ID is used as the basis for other names related to the server instance. The instance user ID is also called the instance owner. For example: tsminst1 The instance user ID is the user ID that must have ownership or read/write access authority to all directories that you create for the database and the recovery log. If you run the server under the instance user ID, that user ID must also have read/write access to the directories that are used for any FILE device classes.

Instance user home directory

The home directory can be created when creating the user ID, by using the option (-m) to create a home directory if it does not exist already. Depending on local settings, the home directory might have the form: /home/instance_user_ID For example: /home/tsminst1

Database instance name

The database instance name must be the same as the instance user ID under which you run the server instance. For example: tsminst1

Instance directory
The instance directory can have any name that you want. For easier identification, use a name that ties the directory to the instance name. You can create the instance directory as a subdirectory of the home directory for the instance user ID. For example: /home/instance_user_ID/ instance_user_ID The following example places the instance directory in the home directory for user ID tsminst1: /home/tsminst1/tsminst1 You can also create the directory in another location, for example: /tsmserver/tsminst1

Database name
The database name is always TSMDB1, for every server instance. This name cannot be changed.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

Server name
The server name is an internal name for Tivoli Storage Manager, and is used for operations that involve communication among multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers. Examples include server-to-server communication and library sharing. The server name is also used when you add the server to the Administration Center so that it can be managed using that interface. Use a unique name for each server. For easy identification in the Administration Center (or from a QUERY SERVER command), use a name that reflects the location or purpose of the server. If you use the wizard, the default name that is suggested is the host name of the system that you are using. You can use a different name that is meaningful in your environment. If you have more than one server on the system and you use the wizard, you can use the default name for only one of the servers. You must enter a unique name for each server. For example: PAYROLL SALES For more information about server names, see Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide.

Directories for database space and recovery log

The directories can be named according to local practices. For easier identification, consider using names that tie the directories to the server instance. For example, for the archive log: /tsminst1_archlog

Installation directories
Installation directories for the Tivoli Storage Manager server include the server, DB2, device, language, and other directories. Each one contains several additional directories. The default directories and their subdirectories are listed here for the server, DB2, devices, languages, and Administration Center: v Server directory (/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin), which contains: Server code and licensing v Additional server directories: The command and message help are located in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/ bin/lang/dsmserv.hlp directory, where lang is the language you select.

Installing a language package

If you install a language package, the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server displays messages and help in languages other than U.S. English. Installation packages are provided with Tivoli Storage Manager. To enable support for a given locale, complete one of the following tasks: Set the LANGUAGE option in the server options file to the name of the locale that you want to use. For example: To use the it_IT locale, set the LANGUAGE option to it_IT. See Server language locales on page 17. v Set the LC_MESSAGES environment variable to match the value that is set in the server options file. For example, to set the environment variable for Italian, enter the following: v
export LC_MESSAGES=it_IT

If the locale successfully initializes, it controls the date, time, and number formatting for the server. If the locale does not successfully initialize, the server uses the U.S. English message files and the date, time, and number format.

2. Create the user ID that will own the server instance. You use this user ID when you create the server instance in a later step. Create a user ID and group that will be the owner of the Tivoli Storage Manager server instance. a. Create the user ID and group. Restriction: The user ID and group name must comply with the following rules: v In the user ID, only lowercase letters (a-z), numerals (0-9), and the underscore character ( _ ) can be used. The user ID must be 8 characters or less, and cannot start with ibm, sql, sys, or a numeral. v In the group name, only lowercase letters (a-z), numerals (0-9), and the underscore character ( _ ) can be used. The group name must be 8 characters or less, and cannot start with ibm, sql, or a numeral. For example, create user ID tsminst1 in group tsmsrvrs. The following examples show how to create this user ID and group using operating system commands.
# mkgroup id=1001 tsmsrvrs # mkuser id=1002 pgrp=tsmsrvrs home=/home/tsminst1 tsminst1 # passwd tsminst1

b. Log off, then log in to your system, using the new user ID and password. Use telnet so that you are prompted for the password and can change it if necessary.

c. If a configuration profile does not exist for the user ID, create the file. For example, create a .profile file if you are using the Korn shell (ksh). d. For all directories that were created for the server instance, ensure that the user ID that owns the server instance has access. The directories to check include the instance directory and all database and log directories. Change the owner of the directories that were created to the user ID for the server instance. e. Log off the new user ID.

Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager

After you have installed Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 and prepared for the configuration, configure the Tivoli Storage Manager server instance. Configure a Tivoli Storage Manager server instance by selecting one of the following options: v Use the Tivoli Storage Manager configuration wizard on your local system. See Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager using the configuration wizard. v Use the Tivoli Storage Manager configuration wizard in the Administration Center. See Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager using the Administration Center on page 22. v Manually configure the new Tivoli Storage Manager instance. See Configuring the server instance manually on page 24. Complete the following steps during a manual configuration. 1. Set up the directories and create the Tivoli Storage Manager instance. See Creating the server instance on page 24. 2. Create a new server options file by copying the sample file in order to set up communications between the Tivoli Storage Manager server and clients. See Configuring server and client communications on page 25.. 3. Issue the DSMSERV FORMAT command to format the database. See Formatting the database and log on page 28. 4. Configure your system for database backup. See Preparing the database manager for backup on page 28.

v The system must have one of the following protocols enabled. Ensure that the port that the protocol uses is not blocked by a firewall. Secure Shell (SSH). Ensure that the port is set to the default value, 22. Remote shell (RSH). Remote Execution Protocol (REXEC). v You must be able to log in to the Version 6.2 system with the user ID that you created for the server instance, using the SSH, RSH, or REXEC protocol. When using the wizard, you must provide this user ID and password to access that system. 2. Start the local version of the wizard: Open the dsmicfgx program in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin directory. This wizard can only be run as a root user. Follow the instructions to complete the configuration. The wizard can be stopped and restarted, but the server is not operational until the entire configuration process is complete.

Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager using the Administration Center

The Administration Center wizard offers a guided approach to configuring a server. By using this wizard, you can avoid some configuration steps that are complex when done manually. Before beginning the configuration wizard, you must complete all preceding steps to prepare for the configuration, including installing the Version 6.2 server program, creating the database and log directories, and creating the directories and user ID for the server instance. 1. Ensure that the following requirements are met: v The system must have one of the following protocols enabled. Ensure that the port that the protocol uses is not blocked by a firewall. Secure Shell (SSH). Ensure that the port is set to the default value, 22. Remote shell (RSH). Remote Execution Protocol (REXEC). v You must be able to log in to the Version 6.2 system with the user ID that you created for the server instance, using the SSH, RSH, or REXEC protocol. When using the wizard, you must provide this user ID and password to access that system. 2. Start the Administration Center by entering one of the following addresses in a supported Web browser:

| | | | | | | | | |

http://workstation_name:port/

22

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The workstation_name is the network name or IP address of the workstation on which you installed the Administration Center and the port is the Web administration HTTP or HTTPS port number. Attention: Ensure that you are using the same port that was displayed in the summary panel of the wizard after you completed the Administration Center installation. Because of system resources and availability of certain ports on your workstation, this might be a different number from the port you had entered into the wizard in a previous panel. You will not receive any warning messages that you are using an incorrect port, and might even be able to complete some Administration Center tasks with a different port. To save time and resources, ensure that you use the intended port. The default Web administration port (HTTP) is 16310. The default secure Web administration port (HTTPS) is 16316. If you are using a different port number from the default, the secure port typically appears with 6 as the last number. Look in the following file if you want to see the port that is being used. In this file, WC_defaulthost contains the variable for the HTTP port and WC_adminhost_secure contains the variable for the HTTPS port. TIP_HOME/properties/TIPPortDef.properties where TIP_HOME is the root directory for the Tivoli Storage Manager installation. The default for TIP_HOME is /opt/ibm/ac. Tip: If you use http://workstation_name:16310/ to connect to the Administration Center, you are redirected to the secure port and address (https://workstation_name:16316/ibm/console). To start the Administration Center using the default ports, for example, enter one of the following addresses in a supported Web browser:
http://workstation_name:16310/

8. Verify the settings on the Summary page. After you have verified the information, click Finish. The Tivoli Storage Manager instance is configured in steps as indicated in the progress bar on the following page. After the configuration is finished, the wizard exits to the Manage Servers page where you can find your new server.

Configuring the server instance manually

After installing Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2, you can configure Tivoli Storage Manager manually instead of using the configuration wizard.

Creating the server instance

Create a Tivoli Storage Manager instance by issuing the db2icrt command. You can have one or more server instances on one workstation. Important: Before you run the db2icrt command, verify the following items: v The home directory for the user (/home/tsminst1) exists. If there is no home directory, you must create it. The instance directory, which can be in the home directory, stores the following files for the server instance: The server options file, dsmserv.opt The dsmserv.v6lock file Device configuration file, if the DEVCONFIG server option does not specify a fully qualified name Volume history file, if the VOLUMEHISTORY server option does not specify a fully qualified name Volumes for DEVTYPE=FILE storage pools, if the directory for the device class is not fully specified, or not fully qualified User exits Trace output (if not fully qualified) v A file called .profile exists in the home directory (/home/tsminst1), even if this .profile file is empty. The .profile file is owned by the instance user ID. 1. Log in using the root user ID and create a Tivoli Storage Manager instance. The name of the instance must be the same name as the user that owns the instance. Use the db2icrt command and enter the command on one line:
# /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/instance/db2icrt -a SERVER -u instance_name instance_name

For example, if your user ID for this instance is tsminst1, use the following command to create the instance. Place it all on one line.
# /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/instance/db2icrt -a SERVER -u tsminst1 tsminst1

Remember: From this point on, use this new user ID when configuring your Tivoli Storage Manager server. Log out of the root user ID and log in under the new instance-user ID. 2. Change the default directory for the database to be the same as the instance directory for the server. If you have multiple servers, log in under the instance ID for each server. Issue this command:
$ db2 update dbm cfg using dftdbpath instance_directory

24

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

For example:
$ db2 update dbm cfg using dftdbpath /home/tsminst1/tsminst1

3. Create a new server options file. See Configuring server and client communications.

Configuring server and client communications

A default sample server options file, dsmserv.opt.smp, is created during Tivoli Storage Manager installation in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin directory. You must set up communications between the server and clients by creating a new server options file. To do so, copy the sample file to the directory for the server instance. Ensure that you have a server instance directory, for example /home/tsminst1/ instance1, and copy the sample file to this directory. Name the new file dsmserv.opt and edit the options. Complete this set-up before you initialize the server database (see Formatting the database and log on page 28. Each sample or default entry in the sample options file is a comment, a line beginning with an asterisk (*). Options are not case-sensitive and one or more blank spaces are allowed between keywords and values. When editing the options file, follow these guidelines: v Remove the asterisk at the beginning of the line to activate an option. v Begin entering the options in any column. v Enter only one option per line, and the option must be on only one line. v If you make multiple entries for a keyword, the Tivoli Storage Manager server uses the last entry. If you change the server options file, you must restart the server for the changes to take effect. See the Administrator's Reference for a description of all server options. You can specify one or more of the following communication methods: v Shared memory v TCP/IP Version 4 or Version 6 v Simple network management protocol (SNMP) DPI Setting TCP/IP options: Select from a range of TCP/IP options for the Tivoli Storage Manager server or retain the default. The following is an example of a list of TCP/IP options you can use to set up your system.
commmethod tcpport tcpwindowsize tcpnodelay tcpip 1500 0 yes

Tip: You can use TCP/IP Version 4, Version 6, or both. TCPPORT The server TCP/IP port address. The default value is 1500. TCPWINDOWSIZE Specifies the size of the TCP/IP buffer that is used when sending or
Chapter 3. Taking the first steps after you install Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2

25

receiving data. The window size that is used in a session is the smaller of the server and client window sizes. Larger window sizes use additional memory but can improve performance. You can specify an integer from 0 to 2048. To use the default window size for the operating system, specify 0. TCPNODELAY Specifies whether or not the server sends small messages or lets TCP/IP buffer the messages. Sending small messages can improve throughput but increases the number of packets sent over the network. Specify YES to send small messages or NO to let TCP/IP buffer them. The default is YES. TCPADMINPORT Specifies the port number on which the server TCP/IP communication driver is to wait for requests other than client sessions. The default value is 1500. SSLTCPPORT (SSL-only) Specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) port number on which the server TCP/IP communication driver waits for requests for SSL-enabled sessions for the command-line backup-archive client and the command-line administrative client. SSLTCPADMINPORT Specifies the port address on which the server TCP/IP communication driver waits for requests for SSL-enabled sessions for the command-line administrative client. Setting shared memory options: You can use shared memory communications between clients and servers on the same system. To use shared memory, TCP/IP Version 4 must be installed on the system. The following example shows a shared memory setting:
commmethod shmport sharedmem 1510

In this example, SHMPORT specifies the TCP/IP port address of a server when using shared memory. Use the SHMPORT option to specify a different TCP/IP port. The default port address is 1510. The maximum number of concurrent shared memory sessions is based on available system resources. Each shared memory session uses one shared memory region of up to 4 MB, and four IPCS message queues, depending on the Tivoli Storage Manager client level. If the server and client are not run under the same user ID, then the server must be root. This prevents shared memory communication errors.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

Setting SNMP DPI subagent options: Tivoli Storage Manager implements a simple network management protocol (SNMP) subagent. You can configure the SNMP subagent to send traps to an SNMP manager, such as NetView, and to provide support for a Management Information Base (MIB). For details about configuring SNMP for use with Tivoli Storage Manager, see the Administrator's Guide. The subagent communicates with the snmp daemon, which in turn communicates with a management application. The snmp daemon must support the DPI protocol. The subagent process is separate from the Tivoli Storage Manager server process, but the subagent gets its information from a server options file. When the SNMP management application is enabled, it can get information and messages from servers. Use the following SNMP DPI options as an example of a SNMP setting. You must specify the COMMMETHOD option. For details about the other options, see the Administrator's Reference.
commmethod snmpheartbeatinterval snmpmessagecategory snmp 5 severity

Formatting the database and log

Use the DSMSERV FORMAT command to initialize a server instance. No other server activity is allowed while initializing the database and recovery log. After you have completed setting up server communications, you are ready to initialize the database. Do not place the directories on file systems that might run out of space. If certain directories (for example, the archive log) become unavailable or full, the server stops. See Capacity planning on page 6 for more details. Before you issue the DSMSERV FORMAT command, log on to the system as the instance owner that you created. See Creating the server instance on page 24 if you have not yet created a server instance. If you are running under something other than the English regional locale, the DB2CODEPAGE system environment variable must be set before you issue the DSMSERV FORMAT command. Set it to DB2CODEPAGE=819:
db2set -i tsminst1 DB2CODEPAGE=819

| | | | | | |

Issue the following command to start the database manager:

db2start

If the database manager does not start after you issue the DSMSERV FORMAT command, you might need to disable the file system mount option NOSUID. If this option is set on the file system that contains the DB2 instance owner directory, or on any file system that contains the DB2 database, active logs, or archive logs, it must be disabled in order to start the system.

Example: Format a database

Enter the following command on one line.
dsmserv format dbdir=/tsm/db activelogdir=/tsm/activelog archlogdir=/tsm/archlog

Preparing the database manager for backup

To back up the data in the database to Tivoli Storage Manager, you must enable the database manager and configure the Tivoli Storage Manager application programming interface (API). If you use the Tivoli Storage Manager Server Instance Configuration wizard to create a Tivoli Storage Manager server instance, you do not need to complete these steps. If you are configuring an instance manually, complete the following steps before issuing either the BACKUP DB or the RESTORE DB commands. | | | | | | | | | Attention: If the database is unusable, the entire Tivoli Storage Manager server is unavailable. If a database is lost and cannot be recovered, it might be difficult or impossible to recover data managed by that server. Therefore, It is critically important to back up the database. However, even without the database, fragments of data or complete files might easily be read from storage pool volumes that are not encrypted. Even if data is not completely recovered, security can be compromised. For this reason, sensitive data should always be encrypted by the Tivoli Storage Manager client or the storage device, unless the storage media is physically secured. In the following commands, the examples use tsminst1 for the server instance user ID and /home/tsminst1/tsminst1 for the Tivoli Storage Manager server instance directory. Replace these values with your actual values in the commands.

28

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

1. Set the DSMI_ api environment-variable configuration for the database instance: a. Log in using the tsminst1 user ID. b. When user tsminst1 is logged in, ensure that the DB2 environment is properly initialized. The DB2 environment is initialized by running the /home/tsminst1/sqllib/db2profile script, which normally runs automatically from the user ID's profile. If /home/tsminst1/.profile does not run the db2profile script, add the following lines to /home/tsminst1/.profile:
if [ -f /home/tsminst1/sqllib/db2profile ]; then . /home/tsminst1/sqllib/db2profile fi

c. Add or update the following lines to the userprofile file in the /home/tsminst1/sqllib directory:
export DSMI_CONFIG=/home/tsminst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.opt export DSMI_DIR=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64 export DSMI_LOG=/home/tsminst1/tsminst1

2. Log out and log in again as tsminst1, or issue this command:

. ~/.profile

3. Create a file called tsmdbmgr.opt in the /home/tsminst1/tsminst1 directory and add the following line:
SERVERNAME TSMDBMGR_TSMINST1

4. Add the following lines to the Tivoli Storage Manager API dsm.sys configuration file. The dsm.sys configuration file is in the following default location: /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64 Avoid placing the server name, TSMDBMGR_TSMINST1, first in dsm.sys because it should not be the system-wide default. In this example, the added lines are after the stanza for server_a.
Servername server_a COMMMethod TCPip TCPPort 1500 TCPServeraddress node.domain.company.COM servername TSMDBMGR_TSMINST1 commmethod tcpip tcpserveraddr localhost tcpport 1500 passwordaccess generate passworddir /home/tsminst1/tsminst1 errorlogname /home/tsminst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.log nodename $$_TSMDBMGR_$$

5. Stop and start the database instance: a. Stop DB2:

db2stop

b. Start DB2:
db2start

6. Set the API password: a. Ensure that the Tivoli Storage Manager server is started. See Starting the server instance on page 30 for the details. b. Log in using the root user ID. c. Source the database manager by running the following command.
. /home/tsminst1/sqllib/db2profile

Chapter 3. Taking the first steps after you install Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2

29

d. Change the API password, using this command:

/home/tsminst1/sqllib/adsm/dsmapipw

e. When prompted by the dsmapipw command, specify TSMDBMGR as both the original and new password. f. Enter this operating system command:
rm /home/tsminst1/tsminst1/tsmdbmgr.log

Starting the server instance

Verify that the server instance is correctly set up by starting the Tivoli Storage Manager instance. You can start the server when logged in to the system with the user ID you created for this instance. You can also start the server when logged in as the root user. Before you start a Tivoli Storage Manager server instance, ensure that you have created the dsmserv.opt file and put the parameters for this instance in that file. See Configuring server and client communications on page 25 if you have not yet created a dsmserv.opt file. Remember: Starting the server is an operating system-level operation and has certain restrictions. If you do not have the permissions to use the dsmserv program, you cannot start it. If you do not have authority to read/write files in the instance directory, you cannot start that instance of the server.

Starting the server from the user ID that owns the server instance
The user ID that owns the server instance has a user profile that enables it to run the server with the necessary permissions. To start a Tivoli Storage Manager server instance, complete the following steps: 1. Run the user profile (db2profile) before starting the server if you do not have one. Attention: If you are logged in as the instance user, the db2profile was already copied to .profile when you defined the instance. If you are not logged in as an instance user and that profile did not run, you should do this step manually. A .profile is not automatically created.
# . /home/tsminst1/sqllib/db2profile

2. Change to the instance directory you want to use.

# cd instance_directory

where instance_directory is the name of your Tivoli Storage Manager instance directory. 3. Start the server instance by issuing the following command:
# /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv

Note: The command runs in the foreground so that you can set an administrator ID and connect to the server instance. The name for the instance of the Tivoli Storage Manager server is tsminst1. To start tsminst1, verify that you are in the home directory that you set up for the server instance and enter the following command:

30

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

# . ~/sqllib/db2profile # /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv To start the server in the background, enter the following command: # /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv -q & To view the output from a server that is started with a command like this, see the nohup.out file.

Authorizing root users to start the server

In Version 6.2 a user that is not the instance owner must be explicitly granted authority to start a Tivoli Storage Manager server. In the following example, user ID tsmuser1 is in the primary group TSMSRVRS, and tsmuser1 is used to create Tivoli Storage Manager server and DB2 instances. The SYSADM_GROUP of the instance is TSMSRVRS because it is the primary group of user ID tsmuser1. User ID tsmuser2 is also in the primary group TSMSRVRS. It is best to use the instance user ID to start the server. However, if you want to allow another user ID to access the database, you must explicitly grant it authority. Log in as the instance owner, connect to the database, and issue the DB2 GRANT command. For example: 1. Log in from root or as the instance owner.
# su - tsmuser1

2. Start DB2.
$ db2start

3. Connect to the TSMDB1 database.

$ db2 connect to tsmdb1

4. Grant user tsmuser2 authority to the database.

$ db2 grant dbadm on database to user tsmuser2

You can allow the root user to run the server by substituting the user root for tsmuser2. However, root must belong to the SYSADM_GROUP group, and must have been granted DBADM authority by the instance user.

Starting the server from the root user ID

With some setup, you can start the server from the root user ID. You can run the server using either the root user ID or the user ID that owns the server instance. To start a Tivoli Storage Manager server instance from the root user ID, do the following steps: 1. If you plan to run the server using the root user ID, add the root user ID to the primary group of the user ID that owns the instance. 2. Change the .profile file for the root user to run the db2profile script for the instance user ID, using the following command. For example, if the instance name is tsminst1, then the root user ID must run /home/tsminst1/sqllib/ db2profile to set the database environment variables and library.
# . ~tsminst1/sqllib/db2profile

Restriction: If you are running a Bourne shell, be sure to enter the fully qualified home directory for the instance user ID.
Chapter 3. Taking the first steps after you install Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2

31

# . <home_directory>/sqllib/db2profile

where home_directory is the fully qualified home directory for the instance user ID. 3. Change to the instance directory. For example, for the server instance named tsminst1:
# cd /home/tsminst1/tsminst1

4. Start the server instance. v To start the tsminst1 server using the root user ID and run it as the instance owner, use the -u option.
# nohup /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv -u tsminst1 -q &

With this command, the server program runs in the background. v To start the tsminst1 server using the root user ID and run it as the root user ID, issue the following command. If the root user ID is a member of the instance-user ID's primary group, the root user ID has authority to start the database manager.
# /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv

Important: The database and log files are written by the instance user ID, not the root user ID. Ensure that the permissions on the database and log directories allow read and write access by the instance user ID.

Automatically starting servers

You can automatically start servers at system startup. Use the rc.dsmserv script, which is provided for this purpose. The rc.dsmserv script is located in /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin. Tip: If you used the configuration wizard, you had the choice of starting the configured server automatically when the system is restarted. If you selected that choice, the startup of the server was added to the /etc/inittab file. For each server that you want to automatically start, add an entry to the /etc/inittab file to run the rc.dsmserv script. v Set the run level to the value that corresponds to multiuser mode, with networking enabled. Typically, the run level to use is 2, 3, or 5, depending on the operating system and its configuration. Consult documentation for your operating system for details on run levels. v On the rc.dsmserv command, specify the instance owner name with the -u option, and the location of the server instance directory with the -i option. Verify correct syntax for the entry by consulting documentation for your operating system. For example, if the instance owner is tsminst1 and the server instance directory is /home/tsminst1/tsminst1, add the following entry to /etc/inittab, on one line:
tsm1:2:once:/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.dsmserv -u tsminst1 -i /home/tsminst1/tsminst1 -q >/dev/console 2>&1

In this example, the ID for the process is tsm1, and the run level is set to 2. If you have more than one server instance that you want to run, add an entry for each server instance. For example, if you have instance owner IDs tsminst1 and

32

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

tsminst2, and instance directories /home/tsminst1/tsminst1 and /home/tsminst2/tsminst2, add the following entries to /etc/inittab. Each entry is on one line.
tsm1:2:once:/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.dsmserv -u tsminst1 -i /home/tsminst1/tsminst1 -q >/dev/console 2>&1 tsm2:2:once:/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.dsmserv -u tsminst2 -i /home/tsminst2/tsminst2 -q >/dev/console 2>&1

Stopping the server

You can stop the server without warning if an unexpected problem requires you to return control to the operating system. To avoid losing administrative and client node connections, stop the server only after current sessions have completed or been canceled. To stop the server, issue the following command from the Tivoli Storage Manager command prompt:
halt

The server console stops. If you cannot connect to the server with an administrative client and you want to stop the server, you must cancel the process by using the kill command with the process ID number (pid) that is displayed at initialization. Important: Before you issue the kill command, ensure that you know the correct process ID for the Tivoli Storage Manager server. The dsmserv.lock file, in the directory from which the server is running, can be used to identify the process ID of the process to kill. To display the file enter:
cat /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmserv.lock

Issue the following command to stop the server:

# kill -36 dsmserv_pid where dsmserv_pid is the process ID number.

Registering licenses
Immediately register any Tivoli Storage Manager licensed functions that you purchase so you do not lose any data after you start server operations, such as backing up your data. Use the REGISTER LICENSE command for this task.

Preparing the system for database backups

To prepare the system for automatic and manual database backups, you must specify the device class to be used. Before you begin the setup, ensure that you have defined a tape or file device class. See the defining device classes section of the Administrator's Guide. To set up your system for database backups, issue the SET DBRECOVERY command to specify a device class to be used for the backups. You can also change the device class to be used for database backups with the SET DBRECOVERY command. Perform the following setup procedure:

Chapter 3. Taking the first steps after you install Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2

33

1. If you did not use the configuration wizard (dsmicfgx) to configure the server, ensure that you have completed the steps to manually configure the system for database backups. 2. Select the device class to be used for backups of the database. Issue the following command from a IBM Tivoli Storage Manager administrative command line.
set dbrecovery device_class_name

The device class that you specify is used by the database manager for database backups. If you do not specify a device class with the SET DBRECOVERY command, the backup fails. For example, to specify that the DBBACK device class is to be used, issue this command:
set dbrecovery dbback

When you are ready to back up your database, see the BACKUP DB command in the Administrator's Reference.

Running multiple server instances on a single system

It is possible to create more than one server instance on your system. Each server instance has its own instance directory, and database and log directories. Multiply the memory and other system requirements for one server by the number of instances planned for the system. The set of files for one instance of the server are stored separately from those used by another server instance on the same system. Use the steps in Creating the server instance on page 24 for each new instance, including creating the new instance user. To manage the system memory that is used by each server, use the DBMEMPERCENT server option to limit the percentage of system memory. If all servers are equally important, use the same value for each server. If one server is a production server and other servers are test servers, set the value for the production server to a higher value than the test servers. | | | | | | | If you are upgrading from Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.1 to Version 6.2 and have multiple servers on your system, you only have to run the upgrade wizard once. The upgrade wizard collects the database and variables information for all of your V6.1 server instances. All instances that exist in DB2 Version 9.5 are dropped and recreated in DB2 Version 9.7. The wizard issues the db2 upgrade db dbname command for each database. The database environment variables for each instance on your system are also reconfigured during the upgrade process.

Monitoring the server

When you start using server in production operation, monitor the space used by the server to ensure that the amount of space is adequate. Make adjustments as needed. 1. Monitor the active log, to ensure that the size is correct for the workload that is handled by the server instance. When the server workload is up to its typical expected level, and the space that is used by the active log is 80 - 90% of the space that is available to the active log directory, you might need to increase the amount of space. Whether you need to increase the space depends on the types of transactions in the server's workload, because transaction characteristics affect how the active log space is used. The following transaction characteristics can affect the space usage in the active log: v The number and size of files in backup operations Clients such as file servers that back up large numbers of small files can cause large numbers of transactions that complete during a short period of time. The transactions might use a large amount of space in the active log, but for a short period of time. Clients such as a mail server or a database server that back up large chunks of data in few transactions can cause small numbers of transactions that take a long time to complete. The transactions might use a small amount of space in the active log, but for a long period of time. v Network connection types Backup operations that occur over fast network connections cause transactions that complete more quickly. The transactions use space in the active log for a shorter period of time. Backup operations that occur over relatively slower connections cause transactions that take a longer time to complete. The transactions use space in the active log for a longer period of time. If the server is handling transactions with a wide variety of characteristics, the space that is used for the active log might go up and down by a large amount over time. For such a server, you might need to ensure that the active log typically has a smaller percentage of its space used. The extra space allows the active log to grow for transactions that take a very long time to complete, for example. 2. Monitor the archive log to ensure that space is always available. Remember: If the archive log becomes full, and the failover archive log becomes full, the active log can become full and the server will stop. The goal is to make enough space available to the archive log so that it never uses all its available space. You are likely to notice the following pattern: a. Initially, the archive log grows rapidly as typical client-backup operations occur. b. Database backups occur regularly, either as scheduled or done manually. c. After at least two full database backups occur, log pruning occurs automatically. The space used by the archive log decreases when the pruning occurs. d. Normal client operations continue, and the archive log grows again.

Chapter 3. Taking the first steps after you install Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2

35

e. Database backups occur regularly, and log pruning occurs as often as full database backups occur. With this pattern, the archive log grows initially, then decreases, then might grow again. Over a period of time, as normal operations continue, the amount of space used by the archive log should reach a relatively constant level. If the archive log continues to grow, consider taking one or both of these actions: v Add space to the archive log. This might mean moving the archive log to a different file system. For information about moving the archive log, see the Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide. v Increase the frequency of full database backups, so that log pruning occurs more frequently. 3. If you defined a directory for the failover archive log, determine whether any logs get stored in that directory during normal operations. If the failover log space is being used, consider increasing the size of the archive log. The goal is that the failover archive log is used only under unusual conditions, not in normal operation.

Chapter 4. Installing the reporting and monitoring feature

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring provides information and reports about the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager servers and client activity. The Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring feature installs the following components: v IBM Tivoli Monitoring, which includes of the following components: IBM DB2 IBM Tivoli Monitoring - Tivoli Enterprise Portal - Tivoli Data Warehouse - Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server - Summarization Pruning Agent - Warehouse Proxy Agent Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring agent

To view historical reports only, (no access to current data on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal) you have to install the Administration Center. For details on installing the Administration Center, see Chapter 5, Installing and configuring the Administration Center, on page 67. For more details on how the Tivoli Storage Manager data flows between components see the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide for your operating system. To create your own reports, you are also required to install the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) software. The Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring feature does not have an option to create custom reports using Tivoli Storage Manager. For more details on using custom reporting, see Installing software for custom reporting on page 63.

Planning to install the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring feature
Before installing the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring feature, there are some decisions you must make.

You have IBM Tivoli Monitoring currently installed on a server

If you are currently using IBM Tivoli Monitoring, the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring feature can be installed on your existing IBM Tivoli Monitoring server but the following requirements must be met:

Copyright IBM Corp. 1993, 2010

37

v The IBM Tivoli Monitoring server must be a fully-licensed version of IBM Tivoli Monitoring. v The IBM Tivoli Monitoring server must be at the 6.2 FP1 or higher level. v Because the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server controls the reporting and monitoring agent, the agent must be installed on your existing Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. You can install the reporting and monitoring agent on any IBM Tivoli Monitoring server, but it is required on the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. For this type of reporting and monitoring installation, the Reporting and monitoring feature option would not be checked on the installation wizard and the IBM Tivoli Monitoring server is identified when prompted by the installation script.

| | |

The version of IBM Tivoli Monitoring that you install with the reporting and monitoring feature can only be used for Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring functions. You cannot upgrade or downgrade your existing IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation using the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring installation wizard.

You do not have IBM Tivoli Monitoring installed on a server

In this situation, you must install all components of the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring feature on one server. The Tivoli Storage Manager server 6.2 and higher versions must be installed on a separate system. Besides the Reporting and monitoring feature component, the Reporting and monitoring agent component is also required as part of data collection and monitoring and is installed on the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring server.

Requirements for the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring agent configuration
The only time you configure the reporting and monitoring agent on the server where you installed the Reporting and monitoring feature component is when you have the following conditions: v If you have an IT environment that has less than 10 Tivoli Storage Manager servers. v If you want to establish a prototype of the Tivoli Storage Manager server to test the installation first. | | | | | Collecting data from multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers using this configuration requires creation of multiple reporting and monitoring agent instances and results in using large amounts of memory. For reporting and monitoring, you need an additional 4 GB or more of memory on the Tivoli Storage Manager server to provide optimum performance. For an IT environment that has more than 10 Tivoli Storage Manager servers, install the reporting and monitoring agent on each Tivoli Storage Manager server that you want to monitor. This configuration allows for the most efficient use of

38

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

After the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring console mode installation has completed, you must complete the following tasks before you can collect historical data. If you plan to install the Tivoli Storage Manager monitoring agent on the Tivoli Storage Manager server, that must be done before continuing to the other configuration steps. v Accessing DB2 and configuring the Tivoli Enterprise Portal server on page 50 v Creating and configuring the Tivoli Data Warehouse on page 53 v Configuring Summarization and Pruning agent parameters on page 54 v Configuring historical data collection on page 55

Taking the first steps after you install the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring feature
After you install the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring feature, there are several configuration tasks that you need to perform to enable reporting for historical data collection. Important: All post installation configuration steps must be performed as the root user. 1. Configure DB2 in order to access the Tivoli Data Warehouse. See Setting permissions on an IBM Tivoli Monitoring server on page 50. 2. Configure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server to view real-time monitoring information for the configured Tivoli Storage Manager servers and clients. You must also configure the portal in order to collect and view historical data. See Accessing DB2 and configuring the Tivoli Enterprise Portal server on page 50. 3. Configure the IBM Tivoli Data Warehouse and the Summarization and Pruning Agent in order to collect and view reports on the historical data using the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services application. v See Creating and configuring the Tivoli Data Warehouse on page 53 v See Configuring Summarization and Pruning agent parameters on page 54 4. Configure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal to actually start the historical data collection. See Configuring historical data collection on page 55. 5. Install the Tivoli Storage Manager monitoring agent on each of the Tivoli Storage Manager servers where you plan to configure a monitoring agent instance to run. See Installing a reporting and monitoring agent on page 56. Tip: This process is the best practice if you want the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring server to receive information about more than 10 Tivoli Storage Manager servers. When you have less than 10 Tivoli Storage Manager servers to monitor, use the Tivoli Storage Manager monitoring agent that is already installed on your Tivoli Monitoring server to get information from the Tivoli Storage Manager servers. 6. Create and configure the Tivoli Storage Manager monitoring agent instance using the Candle Manage program or the command line. v See Creating and configuring the reporting and monitoring agent instance using the Candle Manage program on page 59. v See Creating and configuring the reporting and monitoring agent instance using the command line on page 60.

Setting permissions on an IBM Tivoli Monitoring server

After installing the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring feature on an IBM Tivoli Monitoring server, the permissions are set for non-root users to have read, write, and execute privileges. After an installation of IBM Tivoli Monitoring or the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring agent, some directories and files under the /itm directory have read, write, and execute permission's (777) for everyone. Most of these files reside in the itm/bin and itm/config directories. These files are not secure because everyone can access, change, or delete them. On an IBM Tivoli Monitoring server, this allows non-root users to create, modify, and start different IBM Tivoli Monitoring agents, including the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting and monitoring agent. If you require additional security for these directories or files, run the following commands: 1. Change permissions (chmod) to 0750 for theIBM Tivoli Monitoring Home directory. This command limits read, write, and execute permissions to root and group.
chmod 0750 /opt/tivoli/tsm/reporting/itm

2. IBM Tivoli Monitoring Home directory/bin/secureMain g itm enable This command replicates read, write, and execute permissions to root and group through all the /itm directories.
/opt/tivoli/tsm/reporting/itm/bin/secureMain g itm enable

CAUTION: Running these commands limits which user ID can create, modify, and manage different IBM Tivoli Monitoring agents.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Installation Guide

a. Locate the db2profile script in the /home/db2inst1/sqllib directory. b. Move this script into the .profile or .bashrc file, depending on the shell being used. c. Add the following line to the file, then save it:
. /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile

d. After saving the file, log out of the system and then log back in. 2. For access to DB2, complete the following steps: a. Issue the following command to find out what group has db2 admin privilege:
db2 get dbm cfg | grep SYSADM

This command returns something similar to the following example:

(root@fvtlnx01)/#db2 get dbm cfg | grep SYSADM SYSADM group name(SYSADM_GROUP) = DB2GRP1

b. Check the /etc/group file to see the members of this group:

cat /etc/group

This command returns something similar to the following example:

(root@fvtlnx01)/#cat /etc/group at:!:25: audio:x:17: bin:x:1:daemon cdrom:x:20: console:x:21: daemon:x:2: dialout:x:16:cvtdb2 disk:x:6: floppy:x:19: ftp:x:49: mail:x:12: man:x:62: modem:x:43: news:x:13: db2grp1:x:12312:root,joe,admin

c. Look for a line similar to the last line in this example. This line, which starts with db2grp1 means that root, joe and admin are members of the db2grp1 group. If root is not on this line, add it to the end of the line. To do this complete the following steps: 1) Open the etc/group file.
vi etc/group

2) Enter root to the end of the line that starts with the text, db2grp1. If there are already one or more users at the end of this line, add root to the end of the line, separated by a comma. 3. Open the following file in a text editor:
/etc/rc.itm1

4. Locate the line that has the function, start_all(). It is near the top of the file. 5. Add the db2start command to this function as follows:
/usr/bin/su - root -c " /home/db2inst1/sqllib/adm/db2start > /dev/null 2>&1"

6. Delete the following default sk command:

/usr/bin/su - root -c " /opt/tivoli/tsm/reporting/itm/bin/itmcmd agent start sk >/dev/null 2>&1"

After setting up DB2 access, configure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal server.

Verifying your installation

After installing the Administration Center, complete several procedures to verify your installation. Complete the following steps: 1. Start the Administration Center by entering one of the following addresses in a supported Web browser:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

http://workstation_name:port/

Or:
https://workstation_name:port/ibm/console

The workstation_name is the network name or IP address of the workstation on which you installed the Administration Center and the port is the Web administration HTTP or HTTPS port number. Attention: Ensure that you are using the same port that was displayed in the summary panel of the wizard after you completed the Administration Center installation. Because of system resources and availability of certain ports on your workstation, this might be a different number from the port you had entered into the wizard in a previous panel. You will not receive any warning messages that you are using an incorrect port, and might even be able to complete some Administration Center tasks with a different port. To save time and resources, ensure that you use the intended port. The default Web administration port (HTTP) is 16310. The default secure Web administration port (HTTPS) is 16316. If you are using a different port number from the default, the secure port typically appears with 6 as the last number. Look in the following file if you want to see the port that is being used. In this file, WC_defaulthost contains the variable for the HTTP port and WC_adminhost_secure contains the variable for the HTTPS port. TIP_HOME/properties/TIPPortDef.properties where TIP_HOME is the root directory for the Tivoli Storage Manager installation. The default for TIP_HOME is /opt/ibm/ac. Tip: If you use http://workstation_name:16310/ to connect to the Administration Center, you are redirected to the secure port and address (https://workstation_name:16316/ibm/console). To start the Administration Center using the default ports, for example, enter one of the following addresses in a supported Web browser:
http://workstation_name:16310/

Or:

2. To get started, log in, using the Tivoli Integrated Portal user ID and password that you created during the Administration Center installation. Save this password in a safe location because you need it not only to log in but also to uninstall the Administration Center. 3. After you successfully log in, the Tivoli Integrated Portal welcome page is displayed. Expand the Tivoli Storage Manager folder in the Work Items list and click Getting Started to display the Tivoli Storage Manager welcome page. This page provides instructions for using the Administration Center.

Automatically starting the Administration Center

Complete several steps so that the Administration Center automatically starts. The Tivoli Integrated Portal is built on top of a WebSphere Application Server. The WebSphere server must be running or the Tivoli Integrated Portal is not accessible from a browser. To enable the automatic start during system startup of the Administration Center WebSphere server, complete the following steps: 1. Log in with the root user ID. | 2. Change to the /opt/ibm/ac/products/tsm/bin directory (default). 3. Run the following script:
setTSMUnixLinks.sh

The symbolic links that will allow the WebSphere server to restart after the system is rebooted are now set. Before uninstalling the Administration Center, ensure that you remove the WebSphere server automatic-restart. Complete the following steps: 1. Log in with the root user ID. 2. Change to the /opt/ibm/ac/products/tsm/bin directory (default). 3. Run the following script:
setTSMUnixLinks.sh uninstall

Starting and stopping the Tivoli Integrated Portal server

The IBM Tivoli Integrated Portal server is automatically started after a successful installation. If you shut down the system after the initial installation, any Tivoli Integrated Portal servers that were started are stopped. Use the command line to start and stop Tivoli Integrated Portal servers. When you start and stop the Tivoli Integrated Portal using the command line, the variables in the commands have these meanings: v TIP_HOME is the root directory for the Tivoli Storage Manager installation. The default for TIP_HOME is /opt/ibm/ac. v tip_admin is the administrator user ID for the Administration Center. v tip_pw is the password for the administrator. 1. Change to the TIP_HOME/bin subdirectory in the Tivoli Storage Manager installation directory.

2. Start or stop the Tivoli Integrated Portal server by issuing one of the following commands: v To start an Tivoli Integrated Portal server, issue this command:
startServer.sh server1 -username tip_admin -password tip_pw

v To stop an Tivoli Integrated Portal server, issue this command:

stopServer.sh server1 -username tip_admin -password tip_pw

Defining Administration Center users to the Tivoli Integrated Portal

When you install the 6.2 Administration Center, you must define the users to the Tivoli Integrated Portal. You can create a separate Tivoli Integrated Portal user ID for each Tivoli Storage Manager administrator, or for a group of administrators. As a best practice, give each Tivoli Storage Manager administrator their own Tivoli Integrated Portal administrator ID. Creating separate Tivoli Integrated Portal administrator IDs can help you control access for administrators who manage different servers, or have different privilege classes. After logging in using this ID, they can use their Tivoli Storage Manager administrator name and password to manage connections for the servers they manage. Complete the following steps to define Administration Center users to the Tivoli Integrated Portal: 1. In the navigation tree, expand Users and Groups. 2. Click Manage Users. 3. Click Create. 4. Click Group Membership. 5. Select Group name, then click Search. 6. Add TSM_AdminCenter to the Current groups list. 7. Click Close. The TSM_AdminCenter group is a shell for you to populate with users. You must manually enter the user credentials. 8. Complete the form and click Create.

Uninstalling the Administration Center

Uninstall the Administration Center either by using one of two wizards or in silent mode. Complete the following steps: 1. If you have the WebSphere server automatic restart set up, ensure that you remove it before uninstalling the Administration Center. 2. Log in with the root user ID. 3. Change to the install_directory /products/tsm/bin directory. 4. Run the following script:
setTSMUnixLinks.sh uninstall

To uninstall the Administration Center, complete the following steps: 1. Change to the following subdirectory in the /opt/ibm/ac/ directory:
cd _uninst

2. Use one of the following methods to uninstall the Administration Center:

74

Chapter 6. Upgrading from Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.1

You can upgrade directly to Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 from any version of Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.1. Multiple server instances on a system all use the same installed code, so all the server instances on a system must be upgraded at the same time. The upgrade process recreates your server instances, recatalogs the databases for each instance, and upgrades each database, using information saved from your previous installation. As a server and database are moved into Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2, the validity of the data is checked against constraints that are enforced in the new database. Tip: If you are upgrading from Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.1 to Version 6.2 and have multiple servers on your system, you only have to run the upgrade wizard once. See Running multiple server instances on a single system on page 34 for more information about running multiple servers. If you are upgrading a 5.5 Tivoli Storage Manager server to Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2, see the Server Upgrade Guide. If you are upgrading an existing Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 server to a later level of Version 6.2, see Chapter 9, Installing a Tivoli Storage Manager server fix pack, on page 95. To return to an earlier version of Tivoli Storage Manager, after an upgrade, you must have a full database backup of that original version and the installation code for the server of that original version. 1. Check the readme file for any special instructions or specific information for your operating system. 2. Plan for system hardware and software requirements. See Chapter 1, Planning to install IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, on page 1. Restriction: You cannot upgrade your server to run on an operating system that is different from the operating system it currently runs on. 3. Back up your V6.1 server database and configuration files. 4. Make a list of your current server instances by running the following command:
# /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/instance/db2ilist

Keep a record of the database path for each instance. Verify that the database default paths are correct before performing the upgrade. 5. Stop each server instance on the system by issuing this Tivoli Storage Manager command from an administrative command line:
halt

6. Ensure that no server database backup or restore operations are running. 7. Ensure that you have the user ID and password for each server instance because you need these for the upgrade. 8. Install the latest Tivoli Storage Manager server code, using a wizard or silent mode. Using one of the wizards, you are guided to perform the upgrade steps in the correct order and you are prompted for your server instance credentials.

Until the new version is installed and any required licenses are registered again, clients cannot connect to the server. Ensure that the following requirements are met if you use the installation or console installation wizard for the upgrade: v The system must have one of the following protocols enabled. Ensure that the port that the protocol uses is not blocked by a firewall. Secure Shell (SSH). Ensure that the port is set to the default value, 22. Remote shell (RSH). Remote Execution Protocol (REXEC). v You must be able to log in to the Version 6.2 system with the user ID that you created for the server instance, using the SSH, RSH, or REXEC protocol. When using the wizard, you must provide this user ID and password to access that system. If a connection cannot be established using SSH, RSH, or REXEC, manually upgrade the Tivoli Storage Manager server instance from Version 6.1 to 6.2. See http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27018195 for details. Use one of the following methods to install the latest server code: Installation wizard Upgrading Tivoli Storage Manager using the installation wizard Command-line console wizard Upgrading Tivoli Storage Manager using the console installation wizard on page 79 Silent mode Upgrading Tivoli Storage Manager in silent mode on page 80 The DB2CKUPGRADE script conducts checks and creates logs for each database. These logs contain the results of the DB2CKUPGRADE command for each database. The logs are called: /tmp/db2ckupgrade_<instance_name>_<db_name>.log The wizard automatically corrects some errors in the database during the upgrade to Version 6.2 and DB2 Version 9.7. Other errors might need to be corrected manually. See the Problem Determination Guide and search for DB2 log files for more details about database errors. Run the upgrade again after you fix any errors. 9. Verify that the upgrade was successful by starting the server. See Starting the server instance on page 30. Perform some basic operations and query information about the system to confirm that all information transferred correctly.

Upgrading Tivoli Storage Manager using the installation wizard

Using the installation wizard is one method of upgrading Tivoli Storage Manager from Version 6.1.

Chapter 8. Upgrading the Administration Center

To administer IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 and later servers, you must upgrade to the Administration Center Version 6.2. | | | | | | The IBM Tivoli Integrated Portal is a graphical user interface (GUI) that you can install to work with the Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 server. Tivoli Integrated Portal provides all the functions that were available in the Integrated Solutions Console. With Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2, the Administration Center is integrated as part of the Tivoli Integrated Portal instead of the Integrated Solutions Console. See Chapter 5, Installing and configuring the Administration Center, on page 67 if you are installing the Administration Center for the first time. The Administration Center provides wizards to help guide you through common configuration tasks. The Tivoli Integrated Portal lets you install components provided by multiple IBM applications, and access them from a single interface. You must manually complete the upgrade from an earlier version of the Administration Center to Version 6.2. You must define your Tivoli Integrated Portal user IDs to the new Administration Center. In addition, you must provide credentials for each of the Tivoli Storage Manager servers. | | | | | | | | | Restriction: The Administration Center Version 6.2 is only compatible with the Tivoli Integrated Portal Version 1.1.1.2. If you have earlier versions of the Administration Center and Tivoli Integrated Portal installed, you must upgrade both. The Administration Center can also be installed to a currently existing Tivoli Integrated Portal Version 1.1.1.2. In the panel where you select which directory to install into, there is an option to install to an existing Tivoli Integrated Portal. If you select that option, the panel is automatically filled in with information about any other Tivoli Integrated Portal Version 1.1.1.2 already installed on the system.

Overview of upgrade and coexistence

Upgrading involves collecting the configuration information from a previous version of the Administration Center and duplicating it in the new version. Coexistence involves running the Administration Center V6.2 on the same workstation at the same time as you run the previous version. | | | | To support coexistence, provide non-conflicting port assignments. You can choose to have the same port definitions and run only one version or the other, or you can define separate ports and run two versions of the Administration Center concurrently. If your disk space permits, having the two versions of the Administration Center coexist is the recommended upgrade strategy. It lets users have a functioning Administration Center during the time that it takes for the upgrade to complete. It also ensures that the configuration of the previous Administration Center is still accessible during the upgrade procedure.

Upgrade does not uninstall the previous version, which is still functional. After the upgrade completes successfully, you can uninstall the previous Administration Center using its documented process. | | | | The Administration Center Version 6.2 is not compatible with the Integrated Solutions Console. The Integrated Solutions Console was part of the Administration Center for Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.1.0. You must install the Version 6.2 Administration Center with Tivoli Integrated Portal.

Upgrading procedure for the Administration Center

Use the upgrade procedure to upgrade from a previous version of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administration Center to the Administration Center Version 6.2. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 6.1 Administration Center is built on the Integrated Solutions Console and the 6.2 Administration Center is built on the Tivoli Integrated Portal. You can either have both versions (6.1 and 6.2) on your workstation at the same time, or uninstall Version 6.1 and then install the Version 6.2 Administration Center. There are two scenarios for upgrading to the Version 6.2 Administration Center, depending upon which Administration Center version you are using. v If you are upgrading from a Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.5 Administration Center, you can locate and save the database file, tsmservers.xml, for the Tivoli Storage Manager server. v If you are upgrading from a Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.1 Administration Center, you can use the Manage Servers section to download a file containing information about the defined Tivoli Storage Manager servers. To start the upgrade procedure, complete the following steps: 1. Obtain information about the Tivoli Storage Manager servers defined to the previous Administration Center: v If the Administration Center is earlier than Version 6.1, save the tsmservers.xml file that is located in the installation directory of the earlier Administration Center. v If you have a Version 6.1 Administration Center, you can download the server definitions to a file. Click Manage Servers Download Connection File. For more details on the contents of the file and how to use it, refer to the Manage Servers help section in the Administration Center. 2. Prepare for the installation by collecting your user IDs and server credentials from the earlier Administration Center. 3. Install Administration Center Version 6.2. Note the following restrictions: v Integrated Solutions Console user IDs are not recreated in the new Administration Center. v Tivoli Storage Manager server credentials are not recreated in the new Administration Center. v If you have the reporting and monitoring feature installed, the Administration Center upgrade overwrites your existing reports and data source connections. After upgrading the Administration Center, you have to reconfigure the data source in order to view your reports. For steps on configuring your data source, see Configuring a data source for the reporting and monitoring feature using the Tivoli Integrated Portal on page 62.

4. Manually duplicate the user configuration of your earlier Administration Center. Build up a new environment for Version 6.2: a. Obtain the information about user IDs and server credentials from the earlier Administration Center. You must have the valid Administration Center user ID and password to upgrade the Administration Center. b. Define each Integrated Solutions Console user previously defined to the earlier Administration Center. c. Define to each Tivoli Integrated Portal user ID its set of Tivoli Storage Manager server connections. v The Tivoli Storage Manager server database file (tsmservers.xml) from the Version 5.5 Administration Center can be uploaded. v The server definitions file previously downloaded from Version 6.1 can be uploaded. Save the file, then load the server definitions into the Version 6.2 Administration Center by clicking Action Upload Connection File. 5. Optional: Uninstall the earlier Administration Center.

Obtaining information about Tivoli Integrated Portal or Integrated Solutions Console users
You can find information about users through the Users and Groups menu item. Complete the following steps to obtain information about the defined user IDs: 1. Expand the Console Settings item in the navigation tree. 2. Click User and Group Management. 3. In the Search drop-down list, click Users. 4. In the Search by drop-down list table, click uid. 5. In the Search entry field, enter *. 6. Click Search. The table is filled with all known user IDs. Capture this information for later use. 7. Determine the password for each of these IDs. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Defining Integrated Solutions Console users to the Version 6.2 Administration Center
When you upgrade to the Version 6.2 Administration Center, you must define the user IDs to the IBM Tivoli Integrated Portal. You can create a separate Tivoli Integrated Portal user ID for each Tivoli Storage Manager administrator, or for a group of administrators. As a best practice, give each Tivoli Storage Manager administrator their own Tivoli Integrated Portal administrator ID. Creating separate Tivoli Integrated Portal administrator IDs can help you control access for administrators who manage different servers, or have different privilege classes. After logging on using this ID, they can use their Tivoli Storage Manager administrator name and password to manage connections for the servers they manage. Complete the following steps to define the Integrated Solutions Console user IDs to Tivoli Integrated Portal: 1. In the navigation tree, expand Users and Groups. 2. Click Manage Users. 3. Click Create.

Server connections to the Administration Center

A Manage Servers section is in the Tivoli Integrated Portal navigation tree of the Version 6.2 Administration Center. When you open this section, you are presented with a table of servers defined to the Administration Center for your Integrated Solutions Console or Tivoli Integrated Portal user ID. From the Manage Servers section, you can quickly provide server connection information to the Administration Center. To facilitate this configuration step, the table of servers contains an action that lets you upload to the Administration Center an XML file that contains connection information and, optionally, a set of credentials for each Tivoli Storage Manager server. This action can be used as an alternative method for defining the Tivoli Storage Manager servers of the earlier Administration Center to the Version 6.2 Administration Center. If you chose not to have the two versions of the Administration Center coexist, you can upload the tsmservers.xml file saved from the previous Administration Center. This operation makes the servers known to the Version 6.2 Administration Center, but the server credentials must be provided for each server. Optionally, you can choose to edit the tsmserver.xml file and add Tivoli Storage Manager server credentials to the connections of the user that is performing the file upload operation. Refer to the Administration Center help for more information about uploading a connections file. If you choose to have the two versions of the Administration Center coexist, the installation of the Version 6.2 Administration Center copies the tsmservers.xml file from the earlier Administration Center. You do not need to use the upload action in this case. The Tivoli Storage Manager servers are known to the Version 6.2 Administration Center, but the server credentials must be provided for each server. For both scenarios, the server connections for each Integrated Solutions Console or Tivoli Integrated Portal user ID do not include Tivoli Storage Manager server credentials. Such a connection is considered to be an incomplete or partial server connection by the Version 6.2 Administration Center. In the Manage Servers section, the table of servers defined to the Administration Center contains a column that indicates if a server connection contains Tivoli Storage Manager server credentials. You can handle the partial server connections in two ways. You can either leave the connections in the partial state. When the Tivoli Integrated Portal user later attempts to use a partial server connection, the user is prompted to complete the server connection information. Or, you can use the Change Password action of the Manage Servers table to display a form that lets you quickly define Tivoli Storage Manager server credentials for one or more server connections. In general, partial server connections result in the display of the Incomplete Server Connection form. However, there are cases when the form cannot be displayed. In these cases, an error message is displayed indicating that the user should complete

the server connection by performing a detailed action. For example, the table of libraries attempts to obtain information about all the libraries across a set of servers. The user cannot be presented with the form for each server that has the issue.
ANRW0017E The server connection currently does not include the credentials required to access the server. Explanation An administrative session could not be started with the server because the server connection does not contain an administrator ID and password. The Administration Center will continue to deny access attempts to the server until a valid administrator ID and password are provided.

Chapter 10. Uninstalling Tivoli Storage Manager

You can use the following procedures to uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager. Before you remove Tivoli Storage Manager, there are several steps to complete to ensure that you do not lose your backup and archive data. Complete the following steps before you uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager: v Complete a full database backup. v Save a copy of the volume history and device configuration files. v Store the output volumes in a safe location. Important: Uninstalling Tivoli Storage Manager removes all components of the Tivoli Storage Manager server Version 6.2. It is not possible to uninstall a single component of the product by itself. For example, you cannot uninstall only the Tivoli Storage Manager device driver and leave the Tivoli Storage Manager server. To uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager, complete the following steps: 1. Change to the following subdirectory in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/_uninst directory:
cd _uninst

2. Use one of the following methods to uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager: v To use the installation wizard (GUI) to uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager, issue this command:
./Uninstall_Tivoli_Storage_Manager

v To use the console to uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager, issue this command:
./Uninstall_Tivoli_Storage_Manager -i console

v To silently uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager, issue this command:

./Uninstall_Tivoli_Storage_Manager -i silent

3. Follow the prompts to uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager. 4. You see a message that the Tivoli Storage Manager uninstallation was successful. See Chapter 2, Installing Tivoli Storage Manager, on page 13 for Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.2 installation steps to reinstall the components.

Uninstalling and reinstalling Tivoli Storage Manager

If you plan to manually reinstall Tivoli Storage Manager instead of using the wizard, there are a number of steps to take to preserve your server instance names and database directories. During an uninstallation, any server instances you had set up are removed, but the database catalogs for those instances still exist. If you are using the wizard to upgrade from Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.1, it is not necessary to complete these steps, the wizard completes them automatically. To manually uninstall and reinstall Tivoli Storage Manager complete the following steps: 1. Make a list of your current server instances before proceeding to the uninstallation. Run the following command:
# /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/instance/db2ilist
Copyright IBM Corp. 1993, 2010

2. Run the following commands for every server instance:

db2 attach to instance_name db2 get dbm cfg show detail db2 detach

3. | | | | | | | | 4.

5. 6. | |

Keep a record of the database path for each instance. Uninstall Tivoli Storage Manager. See Chapter 10, Uninstalling Tivoli Storage Manager, on page 97. When you uninstall any version of Tivoli Storage Manager 6.1 or later, including a fix pack, an instance file is created. The instance file is created to help reinstall Tivoli Storage Manager. Check this file and use the information when you are prompted for the instance credentials when reinstalling. In silent installation mode, you provide these credentials using the INSTANCE_CRED variable. You can find the instance file in the following location: /etc/tivoli/tsm/instance.info Reinstall Tivoli Storage Manager. See Chapter 2, Installing Tivoli Storage Manager, on page 13. Recreate your server instances. See Creating the server instance on page 24. Tip: The installation wizard configures the server instances but you must verify that they exist. If they do not exist, you must manually configure them.

7. Catalog the database. Log in to each server instance as the instance user, one at a time, and issue the following commands:
db2 db2 db2 db2 catalog database tsmdb1 attach to instance_name update dbm cfg using dftdbpath instance_directory detach

8. Verify that the server instance was created successfully. Issue this command:
# /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/instance/db2ilist

9. Verify that Tivoli Storage Manager recognizes the server instance by listing your directories. Your home directory appears if you did not change it. Your instance directory does appear if you used the configuration wizard. Issue this command:
db2 list database directory

If you see TSMDB1 listed, you can start the server.
