Configuring clustered environments
You can configure the Tivoli® Storage Manager server for clustering on AIX®, Linux, or Windows systems.
You can use a clustered environment for the following operating
systems:
- IBM® PowerHA® SystemMirror for AIX
- IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms for AIX and Linux
- Microsoft Failover Cluster for Windows
You can use other cluster products with Tivoli Storage Manager, however, documentation is not available and support is limited. For the latest information about support for clustered environments, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21609772.
Before you use another cluster product, verify that DB2® supports the required file systems. For more information about the level of DB2 that you are using, see the DB2 product information, and search for recommended file systems.
- Clustered environment overview
Clusters consist of many components such as Tivoli Storage Manager servers, hardware, and software. You can use clustering to join two or more servers or nodes by using a shared disk system. - Configuring an AIX environment for clustering
You can configure the Tivoli Storage Manager server for AIX clustered environments by using IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX or IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms. - Configuring a Linux environment for clustering
You can configure the Tivoli Storage Manager Linux server in a clustered environment by using IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms Version 3.2.2. - Configuring a Windows clustered environment
You can configure a Tivoli Storage Manager server for Windows in a Microsoft failover cluster environment. Windows cluster environments consist of components such as Tivoli Storage Manager servers, hardware, and software. When these components are connected to the same disk system, downtime is minimized.
