Monitoring a single-site disk solution
After you implement a Tivoli® Storage Manager single-site disk solution, monitor the solution to ensure that it operates correctly. By monitoring the solution on a daily and periodic basis, you can identify existing and potential issues. The information that you gather can be used to troubleshoot problems and optimize system performance.
About this task
The preferred way to monitor a solution is by using the Operations Center, which provides overall and detailed system status in a graphical user interface. In addition, you can configure the Operations Center to generate a daily email report that summarizes system status.
In some cases, you might want to use advanced monitoring tools to complete specific monitoring or troubleshooting tasks. To select and configure advanced monitoring tools, see Selecting, configuring, and using monitoring tools.
Procedure
- Complete daily monitoring tasks. For instructions, see Daily monitoring checklist.
- Complete periodic monitoring tasks. For instructions, see Periodic monitoring checklist.
