Managing client nodes

If you have already installed and configured your client nodes, you must be able to manage and control their access to the server.

The Tivoli® Storage Manager server views its registered clients, application clients, and source servers as nodes. The term "client node" refers to the following type of clients and servers:
  • Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive clients
  • Tivoli Storage Manager application clients, such as Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail clients
  • Tivoli Storage Manager source servers registered as nodes on a target server
  • Network-attached storage (NAS) file servers using network data management protocol (NDMP) support
