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.
Procedure
In a web browser, enter the following address, where hostname represents
the name of the computer where the Operations Center is installed,
and secure_port represents the port number that
the Operations Center uses
for HTTPS communication on that computer:
https://hostname:secure_port/oc
Tips:
- The URL is case-sensitive. For example, ensure that you type "oc" in lowercase as indicated.
- For more information about the port number, see the Installation checklist.
- If you are connecting to the Operations Center for the first
time, you must provide the following information:
- Connection information for the server that you want to designate as a hub server
- Login credentials for an administrator ID that is defined for that server
- If the event-record retention period of the server is less than 14 days, the period is automatically reset to 14 days if you configure the server as a hub server.
What to do next
If you have multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers in your environment, add the other servers as spoke servers to the hub server.
Attention: Do not change the name of a
server after it is configured as a hub or spoke server.
