Oracle Solaris: Taking the first steps after you install Tivoli Storage Manager
After you install Version 7.1.6, prepare for the configuration. Using the configuration wizard is the preferred method of configuring the Tivoli® Storage Manager instance.
About this task
Update the kernel parameter values. See Oracle Solaris: Tuning kernel parameters for Oracle Solaris systems.- Create the directories and user ID for the server instance. See Oracle Solaris: Creating the user ID and directories for the server instance.
- Configure a server instance. Select one of the following options:
- Use the configuration wizard, the preferred method. See Oracle Solaris: Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager by using the configuration wizard.
- Manually configure the new instance. See Oracle Solaris: Configuring the server instance manually. Complete the
following steps during a manual configuration.
- Set up your directories and create the Tivoli Storage Manager instance. See Oracle Solaris: Creating the server instance.
- Create a new server options file by copying the sample file to set up communications between the
server and clients. See Oracle Solaris: Configuring server and client communications.
- Issue the DSMSERV FORMAT command to format the database. See Oracle Solaris: Formatting the database and log.
- Configure your system for database backup. See Oracle Solaris: Preparing the database manager for database backup.
- Configure options to control when database reorganization runs. See Oracle Solaris: Configuring server options for server database maintenance.
- Start the server instance if it is not already started.
- Register your license. See Oracle Solaris: Registering licenses.
- Prepare your system for database backups. See Oracle Solaris: Specifying a device class in preparation for database backups.
- Monitor the server. See Oracle Solaris: Monitoring the server.
- Oracle Solaris: Tuning kernel parameters for Oracle Solaris systems
For IBM Tivoli Storage Manager and DB2 to install and operate correctly on Oracle Solaris, you must update the kernel configuration parameters. - Oracle Solaris: Creating the user ID and directories for the server instance
Create the user ID for the Tivoli Storage Manager server instance and create the directories that the server instance needs for database and recovery logs. - Oracle Solaris: Configuring the Tivoli Storage Manager server
After you have installed the server and prepared for the configuration, configure the server instance. - Oracle Solaris: Configuring server options for server database maintenance
To help avoid problems with database growth and server performance, the server automatically monitors its database tables and reorganizes them when needed. Before starting the server for production use, set server options to control when reorganization runs. If you plan to use data deduplication, ensure that the option to run index reorganization is enabled. - Oracle Solaris: Starting the server instance
You can start the server by using the instance user ID, which is the preferred method, or the root user ID. - Oracle Solaris: Stopping the server
You can stop the server when needed to return control to the operating system. To avoid losing administrative and client node connections, stop the server only after current sessions are completed or canceled. - Oracle Solaris: Registering licenses
Immediately register any Tivoli Storage Manager licensed functions that you purchase so you do not lose any data after you start server operations, such as backing up your data. - Oracle Solaris: Specifying a device class in preparation for database backups
To prepare the system for automatic and manual database backups, you must specify the device class to be used. - Oracle Solaris: Running multiple server instances on a single system
You can create more than one server instance on your system. Each server instance has its own instance directory, and database and log directories. - Oracle Solaris: Monitoring the server
When you start to use the server in production, monitor the space that is used by the server to ensure that the amount of space is adequate. Adjust the space if needed.
