Installing and configuring System Automation for Multiplatforms

You can integrate an IBM Storage Protect server with IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms in a clustered environment. By using the System Automation for Multiplatforms failover function, you can help to ensure that IBM Storage Protect server components automatically recover from failures.

Before you begin

Complete the following tasks:

1. Ensure that you understand the basic terms, concepts, and components that are associated with System Automation for Multiplatforms. For more information, see Components.
2. Obtain the System Automation for Multiplatforms base release from Passport Advantage® and download the latest maintenance release from Fix Central.
3. Install and configure System Automation for Multiplatforms by following the instructions in the Installation and Configuration Guide.

1. To integrate System Automation for Multiplatforms with IBM Storage Protect, follow the instructions in technote 7039780. Set up at least one cluster with at least two nodes.
2. Verify the configuration to ensure that all database, log, storage, and instance directories are on shared disks that are configured for failover. Take the following actions:
   1. Log on as the instance user.
   2. Run the /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmclustfs script and review the output. Ensure that the file systems that are reported by the script are on shared disks.
3. Test the clustered environment by using the procedures in technote 7039780. Ensure that the failover capabilities are working as expected.
