- Overview of a two-node Tivoli Storage Manager cluster using Tivoli System Automation
Use the Tivoli System Automation cluster for higher server and database availability during a failure. By using the Tivoli System Automation failover function, server components such as the database can automatically recover from a failure. - Setting up a Tivoli Storage Manager cluster with Tivoli System Automation
You must set up the Tivoli Storage Manager cluster to use Tivoli System Automation. - Prerequisites to configuring a Linux clustered environment with Tivoli System Automation
Before you install and configure Tivoli Storage Manager in a clustered environment with Tivoli System Automation, you must check the prerequisites. - Installing and configuring Tivoli Storage Manager components on the primary and secondary nodes
You must install the Tivoli Storage Manager server and database components on the primary and secondary nodes in the cluster. Then, configure the primary node first followed by the secondary node. - Installing Tivoli System Automation on the primary and secondary nodes
After you install and configure Tivoli Storage Manager on the primary and secondary nodes in the cluster, you must install and configure Tivoli System Automation on these nodes. Then, you must activate these nodes for the domain, configure the resources, and activate the base policy. Finally, you must add the mount points to the Tivoli Storage Manager directories. - Configuring storage resources
Use the Tivoli System Automation user interface or command line to add or delete storage resources and to delete mount points that are no longer required. If you add a storage pool to the cluster, you must add it to the resource group. If you remove a storage pool from the cluster, you must also delete it from the resource group. - Upgrading the Tivoli Storage Manager server that is configured with Tivoli System Automation
You can upgrade the Tivoli Storage Manager server that is configured with Tivoli System Automation. You can upgrade from Tivoli Storage Manager server Version 6.3 or Version 7.1.
