The DOMAIN parameter specifies the name of the policy domain to which the node is assigned. If you do not specify a policy domain name, the node is assigned to the default policy domain (STANDARD). Within our recommended environment, there are two domains, SERVER and WORKSTN, and no STANDARD domain. Consequently, if you use our environment, you must specify the DOMAIN parameter when registering a client node. The USERID parameter specifies an administrative ID that will be defined as an administrator with node owner (client access) authority to the client. Node authority allows an administrator to use the Web backup-archive client. When the USERID parameter is omitted, an administrator with the same name as the node is defined. This is the default. We recommend that you specify USERID=NONE and grant node authority to the HELPDESK administrator and other administrators explicitly through the grant authority command. 8.2.2 Default environment Except for z/OS, one client node is registered to the Tivoli Storage Manager server during the initial server installation. This is for the Tivoli Storage Manager server itself. The name of this client is CLIENT, with initial password CLIENT. The node is assigned to the STANDARD domain. To comply with our recommendation of using the host name for each client node, you should use the rename node command to change the name of the node from CLIENT to the host name, and the update node command to assign it to a new policy domain. 8.2.3 Working with client nodes In this section we explain how to perform various processes related to client nodes that you will find useful in your Tivoli Storage Manager environment. Registering a client node Use the register node command to define a client to the server. In our environment, we supply the required parameters (node name, node password, domain name) and an additional two parameters (contact, userid). Table 8-1 shows a layout you can use for documenting the information needed to register the clients, completed with a set of sample client information.
