8.1 Management Using the information you have gathered during the planning phase, as well as the understanding you have gained from reading IBM Tivoli Storage Management Concepts, SG24-4877, you should be able now define both users and clients on your Tivoli Storage Manager server. There are two categories of users: Administrators Client nodes 8.1.1 Administrators Administrators manage Tivoli Storage Manager server resources such as storage pools, devices, and data management policies. You need at least one administrator-and can have more with varying levels of authority. Administrators with system privileges can perform any Tivoli Storage Manager function. Administrators with policy, storage, operator, or analyst privileges can perform subsets of Tivoli Storage Manager functions. Administrators primarily use the Tivoli Storage Manager command-line interface (CLI) or the Administration Center to enter commands acting against the Tivoli Storage Manager server. Administrators may also use the Web backup-archive client to perform backup, restore, archive, and retrieve operations on behalf of other users remotely. A typical scenario is where help desk personnel use the Web client to perform these client tasks for their end users without needing to be physically present at the end-user location or to log on to the client machine. They can simply perform the operation from their browser. Use of the Web backup-archive client requires special client access authority for the client, which will be restored. All commands issued by administrators are logged to the server activity log. See 2.11, "Administrator IDs" on page 59, for planning considerations. In a smaller implementation, there may be only one Tivoli Storage Administrator performing both administrator and help desk services. In larger enterprises, these functions are probably both functionally and geographically dispersed, so that multiple administrators with different authorities are required. 284 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Guide
