Configuring the Operations Center

Designating the hub server
When you connect to the Operations Center for the first time, you must designate which Tivoli Storage Manager server is the hub server.

Adding a spoke server
After you configure the hub server for the Operations Center, you can add one or more spoke servers to the hub server.

Sending email alerts to administrators
An alert is a notification of a relevant problem on the Tivoli Storage Manager server and is triggered by a server message. Alerts can be shown in the Operations Center and can be sent from the server to administrators by email.

Adding customized text to the login screen
You can add customized text, such as your organization's Terms of Use of the software, to the login screen of the Operations Center so that users of the Operations Center see the text before they enter their user name and password.

Enabling REST services
Applications that use Representational State Transfer (REST) services can query and manage the storage environment by connecting to the Operations Center.
