Maintaining system load data in archive storage

You should create a storage set that specifies a client node in storage managed by Tivoli® Storage Manager. You must add at least one primary storage node to the storage set.

About this task

The primary storage node must identify a client node in Tivoli Storage Manager that maintains data indefinitely. The Logon Name and Password in the primary storage node must be identical to the client node and password in Tivoli Storage Manager.

When you register the client node in Tivoli Storage Manager, you must specify the name of the Tivoli Storage Manager policy domain that maintains data on the required media for the required length of time. If you do not specify the name of a domain, Tivoli Storage Manager assigns the client node to the default domain. Individual chapters for each platform provide details about defining storage devices to Tivoli Storage Manager and policy domains to support Content Manager OnDemand and describe how to register a client node in Tivoli Storage Manager.

After you create the storage set, you must update the System Load application group and assign it to the storage set. After assigning the application group to the storage set and restarting the system, the system automatically maintains a copy of the system load data in archive storage.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to assign the System Load application group to a storage set:

  1. Start the OnDemand Administrator client.
  2. Log on to the server with a userid that has system administrator authority. (The built-in userid admin has system administrator authority.)
  3. Click Application Groups.
  4. Point to the System Load application group and right mouse click.
  5. From the pop-up menu, select Update to open the Update an Application Group window.
  6. Click the Storage Management tab.
  7. In the Storage Set Name list, select the name of the storage set.
    The storage set that you select should specify a client node in a Tivoli Storage Manager policy domain that maintains data indefinitely.
  8. Click Advanced to open the Advanced Storage Management dialog box.
  9. Select Next Cache Migration under Migrate Data from Cache.
    This causes Content Manager OnDemand to copy the system load data to archive storage the next time that the ARSMAINT command runs.
