Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager server on a production node for PowerHA

Install the Tivoli® Storage Manager server on a production node for PowerHA® to be able to configure the server for clustering.

Complete the following steps to install the Tivoli Storage Manager server on the production node:

1. Install Tivoli Storage Manager. Select one of the following components:
   • The Tivoli Storage Manager server
   • The Tivoli Storage Manager device driver, if needed
   • The Tivoli Storage Manager license

   The executable files are typically installed on the internal disks of the production node, not on the shared Tivoli Storage Manager disk space. Tivoli Storage Manager server executable files are installed in the /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin directory.

2. Configure Tivoli Storage Manager to use the TCP/IP communication method. For instructions, see the information about configuring a server instance in AIX: Taking the first steps after you install Tivoli Storage Manager.
3. Define a new user ID that owns the Tivoli Storage Manager server instance or use an existing user ID that does not already own a Tivoli Storage Manager instance. While logged in to the instance user ID, complete the following steps:
   1. Create an instance directory by using the mkdir command on a shared file system that can fail over to the standby system. This disk must be defined to PowerHA.
   2. Create the database and log directories by using the mkdir command on shared file systems that can fail over to the standby system. These disks must also be defined to PowerHA to fail over.
   3. Complete the configuration by using the dsmicfgx wizard.
