Before you can use Tivoli® Storage Manager, you must set up a node name and password and your node must be registered with the server.
The process of setting up a node name and password is called registration. There are two types of registration: open and closed.
Your Tivoli Storage Manager administrator chooses the type of registration for your site.
You must
be a root user or authorized user to perform this required task.
If you plan to use a Web client, you must have an administrative user ID with system privilege, policy privilege, client access authority, or client owner authority. When a new node is registered, an administrative user ID is automatically created for the node. By default, this node has client owner authority.
