Version 9.1
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Data Collector Policy
Prerequisites: A Data Collector must exist in the Portal, to which you will add Data Collector Policies. Also, prior to setting up a Data Collector Policy for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM), the TSM servers must be added using Host Administration in the Portal. Typically, these servers were added during the Data Collector installation process and therefore they will appear Data Collector Policy list.
For specific prerequisites and supported configurations, see the APTARE StorageConsole 9.1 Certified Configurations Guide.
 
 
1. Select Admin > Data Collection > Collectors.
The list of currently configured Portal Data Collectors is displayed.
2. Select a Data Collector from the list.
3. Click Add and select Tivoli Storage Manager.

Field
Description
Sample Value
Collector’s Domain
The domain of the collector to which the collector backup policy is being added. This is a read-only field. By default, the domain for a new policy should be the same as the domain for the collector. This field is set when you add a collector. See Adding/Editing Data Collectors for details.
 
Domain
The domain identifies the top level of your host group hierarchy. The name was supplied during the installation process. All newly discovered hosts are added to the root host group associated with this domain. If you are a Managed Services Provider, each of your customers will have a unique domain with its own host group hierarchy.
To find your Domain name select Admin > Hosts and Domains > Domains.
