Setting up server-to-server communication

You must set up server-to-server communication to enable the Tivoli Storage Manager servers and storage agents to access z/OS media server storage.

Procedure

Set up server-to-server communication by issuing the following commands on the Tivoli Storage Manager 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 name, password, TCP/IP address, and port, of the server. 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.

See the Administrator's Guide for details about the following tasks:
