d. Anewdeviceclassisdefined. The device class name is the same as the library
to which it will be connected, except that the string “DC” is added as a prefix
(for example, DC.TAPE) . (See the Tivoli Administration G uide on Defining D evice

e. Allvolumesinalllibrariesarelabeled.
3. Defining a storage pool, domain, policy set, management class, and copy group for primary
group data
a. A storage pool is created using the device class that was previously defined.
(See the Tivoli Administration Guide on Mana ging Storage Pools and Volumes
at h

com.ibm.itsmcw.doc/anrwgd53309.htm.)
b. A p olicy domain, a policy set for that domain, and a m anagement class that is assigned to
that domain are cre ated.
c. The copy group is defined and the storage pool is activated. The c opy group
defines that the server will keep one version of a backed up file for an indefinite
time. (See the Tivoli Administration Guide on Defining and Updating a Backup Copy
Group at h

d. Client nodes are registered during the backup process that runs on the smart cells.
Therefore, no node is registered during the i nitial configuration.
How to add and label new media (Web interface)
To add, label, and check in new media, use the Add Volumes wizard that ca n be started from the Web
administration console. In the following example, two new empty volumes were (physically) added to
the library before the procedure was initiated.
1. Log o
n to the Tivoli Integrated Solutions Console by clicking Tivoli Web Console on the Backup
Server desktop, or by going to http://<PCC-SYSTEM-NAME>:8421/ibm/console.
2. On the left, open the Tivoli Storage Manager > Storage Devices page. You should see one entry
for the backup server and one for the library. If no library is d efined, verify that the backup has
been initialized with the command configTiv init.
3. Sel
ect the library to which you want to add the media. (In the example, the library is
LIB.OPTICAL.)
4. A properties page appears, as shown in the figure below.
