Note: On Windows Server 2003 systems, devices are automatically controlled by the default Windows Device Driver, even if you install the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager driver (TSMSCSI). In this case, you must manually update the controlling driver for each device you want to be controlled by TSMSCSI. For details on the configuration procedure see IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for SAN for Windows Storage Agent User's Guide, GC32-0785. 16.3.3 Configuring the Storage Agent In order for the Storage Agent to communicate with the server instance, server-to-server communication is required. In 16.2, "Server setup for LAN-free" on page 528, we prepared our Tivoli Storage Manager server for this communication by setting up the server name, password, address, and port of the server instance. Register Storage Agent on Tivoli Storage Manager server Now we need to define the Storage Agent on the server. This is similar to the server-to-server configuration. You define a unique Storage Agent name, a password, a communication path (IP address or DNS name) to the Storage Agent, and the IP port the agent listens on (see Example 16-9). Example 16-9 Defining Storage Agent on the server for server-to-server communication tsm: ATLANTIC>define server sta_diomede serverpassword=sta_diomede532 \ cont> hladdress=diomede.itsosj.sanjose.ibm.com lladdress=1502 \ cont> description="Storage Agent on Diomede" ANR1660I Server STA_DIOMEDE defined successfully. Customize Storage Agent configuration file The next step is to edit the Storage Agent configuration file. This is analogous to the server options file, and is called dsmsta.opt, located in the installation path. There are numerous options you may set; however, for the basic setup you need only the devconfig and tcpport options (see Example 16-10). Since the devconfig option is by default set to devconfig.txt, we only need to change the default TCPPORT for the Storage Agent to the value defined in Example 16-9 (that is, 1502), and then we can proceed with the Storage Agent service setup. Example 16-10 Option file dsmsta.opt DEVCONFIG TCPPORT devconfig.txt 1502 540 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Guide
