Preparing the system for use

Verify the installation of Content Manager OnDemand on all supported platforms.

Other important tasks described in this section include:

Creating storage sets. You must add storage sets to the system before you can create application groups or assign the system-defined application groups to a storage set. Depending on the storage management characteristics of the reports that you plan to store on the system, you might need to add more than one storage set.
Configuring the System Log application group. You should assign the System Log application group to a storage set that specifies a client node in storage managed by Tivoli® Storage Manager so that the system can maintain a permanent copy of the system log data. You should also store system log index data in table spaces.
Configuring the System Load application group. If you plan to use the system load logging facility provided by Content Manager OnDemand, then you must create a storage set that specifies a client node in storage managed by Tivoli Storage Manager. After you add the storage set to the system, you can assign the System Load application group to the storage set.
Configuring the System Migration application group. If you plan to migrate index data from the database to archive storage, then you must create a storage set that specifies a client node in storage managed by Tivoli Storage Manager. After you add the storage set to the system, you can assign the System Migration application group to the storage set. You should also store system migration index data in table spaces.
Creating a backup copy of the database. After installing and configuring the system, you should create a backup copy of the Content Manager OnDemand database. If you configured the system to use Tivoli Storage Manager, you should also backup the Tivoli Storage Manager database at this time.
