The wizard offers a guided approach to configuring
a server. By using the graphical user interface (GUI), you can avoid
some configuration steps that are complex when done manually. Start
the wizard on the system where you installed the Tivoli® Storage
Manager server program.
Before you begin
Before you begin to use the configuration wizard, you must
complete all preceding steps to prepare for the configuration. These
steps include installing
Tivoli Storage
Manager, creating
the database and log directories, and creating the directories and
user ID for the server instance.
Procedure
- Ensure that the following requirements are met:
- The system where you installed Tivoli Storage
Manager must have
the X Window System client. You must also be running an X Window System
server on your desktop.
- The system must have the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol
enabled. Ensure that the port is set to the default value, 22, and
that the port is not blocked by a firewall. You must enable password
authentication in the sshd_config file in the /etc/ssh/ directory.
Also, ensure that the SSH daemon service has access rights for connecting
to the system by using the localhost value.
- You must be able to log in to Tivoli Storage
Manager with the
user ID that you created for the server instance, by using the SSH
protocol. When you use the wizard, you must provide this user ID and
password to access that system.
- Start the local version of the wizard:
- Open the dsmicfgx program
in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin directory.
This wizard can be only 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.
