Enterprise management lets you manage the servers in your
network from many locations.
For example, suppose that you are an administrator responsible
for servers located in different departments on a college campus.
The servers have some requirements in common, but also have many unique
client requirements. You can set up the environment as follows:
- Set up an existing or new Tivoli® Storage
Manager server as
a configuration manager.
- Set up communications so that commands can be sent from any server
to any other server.
- Define any configuration that you want to distribute by defining
policy domains, schedules, and so on, on the configuration manager.
Associate the configuration information with profiles.
- Have the managed servers subscribe to profiles as needed.
- Activate policies and set up storage pools as needed on the managed
servers.
- Set up enterprise monitoring by setting up one server as an event
server. The event server can be the same server as the configuration
manager or a different server.
After setting up in this way, you can manage the servers from any
server. You can do any of the following tasks:
- Use enterprise console to monitor all the servers in your network.
- Perform tasks on any or all servers using the enterprise console
and command routing.
- Manage the group of servers from anywhere in the network. Allow
local administrators to monitor and tune their own servers.
