HP Reference Information Storage System v1.6 Administrator Guide (T3559-96073, July 2007)
• Libraries are define d. The name for the libraries is taken from the master configu ration file
(bct) and the string “LIB” is added as a prefix(forexample,LIB.TAPE).
• A path i s defined for each library. In the path, the device parameter specifies the dev ice
alias name of the library’s robotic mechanism.
• The devices that belong to each library are defined. For each device a path is defined
that contains the device alias and the previously defined library name. A path is the
connecting element for the server, library, and device. (See the Tivoli Administration Guide
on “Defining Devices and Paths” at h

v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itsmcw.doc/an rwgd53176.htm.)
•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 Guide on “Defining D evice Classes” at h
ttp://publib.boulder.ibm.com/
infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ib m.itsmcw.doc/anrwrf53104.htm .)
• All volumes in all libraries are labeled.
3. Defining a storage pool, domain, policy set, management class, and copy group for primary
group data.
• A storage pool is created using the device class that was previously defined.
(See the Tivoli Administration Guide on “Managing Storage Pools and Volumes”
at h
ttp://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/
com.ibm.itsmcw.doc/anrwgd53309.htm.)
• A policy domain, a policy set for that domain, and a management class that is assigned to
that domain a re created.
•Thecopygroupisdefined and the storage pool is activated. The copy group defines
that the server will keep one version of a backed up file for an i ndefinite time.
(See the Tivoli Administration Guide on “Defining and Updating a Backup Copy
Group” at h

• Client nodes are reg istered during the backup process that runs on the smar t cells. Therefore,
no nod e is registered during the initial con fi guration.
Addi
ngandlabelingnewmedia(Webinterface)
To ad
d, label, and check in new media, use the Add Volumes wizard that can be started from the Web
administration console. In the following example, two new empty volumes were (physically) added to
the library before the p rocedure was initiated.
1. Log on to the Tivoli Integrated Solutions Console by clicking Tivoli Web Console on the backup server
des
ktop, or by going to http://<PCC-SYSTEM-NAME>:8421/ibm/console.
2. On t
he left, open the Tivoli Storage Manag er > Storage Devices page.
You
should see one entry for the backup server and one for the library. If no library is defined, verif y
that the backup has been initialized with the command configTiv init.
3. Select the library to which you want to add the media. (In the example, the library is LIB.TAPE.)
