If you did not use the default configuration
for the client management service,
you must configure the Operations Center to access
the client management service.
Before you begin
Ensure that the client management service is installed
and started on the client system.
Verify whether
the default configuration is used. The default configuration is not
used if either of the following conditions is met:
- The client management service does
not use the default port number, 9028.
- The backup-archive client is not accessed by the same IP address
as the client system where the backup-archive client is installed.
For example, a different IP address might be used in the following
situations:
- The computer system has two network cards. The backup-archive
client is configured to communicate on one network, while the client management service communicates
on the other network.
- The client system is configured with the Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). As a result, the client system
is dynamically assigned an IP address, which is saved on the Tivoli® Storage
Manager server during
the previous backup-archive client operation. When the client system
is restarted, the client system might be assigned a different IP address.
To ensure that the Operations Center can
always find the client system, you specify a fully qualified domain
name.
Procedure
To configure the Operations Center to use the client management service, complete
the following steps:
- On the Clients page of the Operations Center, select the
client.
- Click Details.
- Click the Properties tab.
- In the Remote diagnostics URL field
in the General section, specify the URL for
the client management service on
the client system.
The address must start with https. The following table shows examples of the
remote diagnostics URL.
| Type of URL |
Example |
|---|
| With DNS host name and default port, 9028 |
https://server.example.com |
| With DNS host name and non-default port |
https://server.example.com:1599 |
| With IP address and non-default port |
https://192.0.2.0:1599 |
- Click Save.
What to do next
You can access client diagnostic information such as client
log files from the Diagnosis tab in the Operations Center.
