After a new installation of Teradata TARA, the fourth step to configuring the TARA server is configuring Tivoli information. This configuration information will be included in <job_id>.opt, the TSM client options file that is dynamically created when a TARA job is launched.

Refer to Configuring the TARA Server for information on the other steps of configuration. If this is not a new installation of Teradata TARA, there is no required order of configuration.

  1. Select the Tivoli tab of the TARA Server Configuration dialog box.
    If you are reconfiguring Tivoli information and the TSM client is on Linux, delete the Teradata stanza in the dsm.sys file.


  2. Do one of the following:
    1. Click ConfigureLANFree for LAN-free mode, which is recommended for TSM.

      The LAN Free dialog box appears.



    2. Proceed to step 2.

    OR

    1. Clear the Enable LAN Free button for LAN mode.
    2. Proceed to step 5.
  3. Select the communication method between the storage agent and the client from CommMethod.
    For Linux systems operating in LAN-Free mode, select TCPIP. The Shared Memory communication method is not supported. For more details, refer to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide.
  4. Depending on the communication method selected, make the following entries, then click OK.
    • In TCPPort, enter the TCP port to be used for communication between a client and the storage agent
    • In SHMPort, enter the Shared Memory port to be used for processing between a client and the SAN-attached storage device
    • In NamedPipeName, enter the name of the named pipe to be used for communication between the client and the storage agent
  5. In Server Name, enter the name of the TSM server instance.

    If the TSM client is on Linux, the server name identifies the Teradata TSM server stanza, as listed in dsm.sys. If you do not enter a new server name but make other changes on the Tivoli tab, delete the Teradata stanza in the dsm.sys file.

  6. In TCPServer Address, the address of the TSM server is displayed. Or, enter another address.
  7. Communication methods listed in the Communication drop-down list enable communication between the TSM server and the client:
    • If LAN-free mode is enabled on Windows, TCPIP is the only allowed communication protocol. Port is the server’s TCP/IP port address. The default value is 1500.
    • If Sharedmem is selected (for Linux operating systems), Port is the port address where the TSM server establishes a Shared Memory connection.
    • If Namedpipes is selected, Name becomes enabled. Enter the name of the named pipe.
  8. Enter the TSM client node name in Node Name. The node name is in the TSM options file. The node name identifies the workstation to the TSM server and is used as a pseudo node name so that backups can be referenced from any client.
    The Node Name field cannot be blank or “null”.
  9. Enter the password assigned to the TSM client node in Password. Ensure that the password field is not blank.
  10. [Optional] In User Parameters, enter any other TSM client options. For example tcpwindowsize 63 or diskbuffsize 64.

    Refer to TSM Client Options and Tivoli documentation for other client options.

  11. In the Client Group drop-down list, the client group that was configured using the Client Groups tab appears. To refresh the list of available clients under Client-Management Class Association, select another group from the drop-down list and click Refresh. Click Default to set the client group displayed in the Client Group drop-down list as the default.
  12. The Enter Management Class Name drop-down list contains management classes listed in Available Management Classes. To add a management class to the Available Management Classes list:
    1. Enter the name.
    2. Click .

    To delete a management class from the Available Management Classes list:

    1. Select it from Enter Management Class Name.
    2. Click .
  13. Client-Management Class Association lists the management classes that have been added to a client node. To view the management class, expand the tree next to the client name.
  14. To add or delete a management class, do one of the following. To add a management class to the client node:
    1. Highlight the client in Client-Management Class Association.
    2. Highlight the management class in Available Management Classes.
    3. Click Add.
    To delete a management class from the client:
    • Highlight the management class listed under the client in Client-Management Class Association, and click Remove.
  15. [Optional] To change the order in which a management class is used for a backup or restore job, do one of the following. To move a management class up:
    • Highlight the management class in the Client-Management Class Association list, and click Move Up.

      If there are more management classes than streams, the management class that appears first will be used for the backup or restore job.

    To move a management class down:
    • Highlight the management class in the Client-Management Class Association list, and click Move Down.
  16. Click Apply to apply the changes.
  17. Select the ARC Options tab of the TARA Server Configuration dialog box, then go to Step 5 - Configuring ARC Options.
