Setting up server-to-server communication

Edit online

Server-to-server communication is required for IBM Storage Protect servers and storage agents to share library devices on a SAN.

Procedure

Set up server-to-server communication by issuing the following commands on the IBM Storage Protect server.

Replace the values in the example with values from the configuration-information worksheet.

set servername tsmsrver
set serverpassword not4u
set serverhladdress tsmsrver.example.com
set serverlladdress 1502
set crossdefine on

Results

These commands establish the server name, password, TCP/IP address, and port. They also allow other servers to define a connection on this server.

What to do next

Verify that the password is set for the server by issuing the QUERY STATUS command from a IBM Storage Protect administrative command line. The value of the Server Password Set field in the command output must be YES.
