HP Reference Information Storage System Version 1.6 Administration Guide revision 2 (T3559-90809, September 2007)
• Libraries are defined. The n ame for the libraries is taken from the master configuration file
(bct) and the string “LIB” is ad ded as a prefix(forexample,LIB.TAPE).
• A path is defined for each library. In the path, the device parameter specifies the device
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 “D efining Devices and Paths” at h
ttp://publib.boulder.ibm.com/info center/tivihelp/
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, D C.TAPE). (See the
Tivoli Administr ation Guide on “Defining Device 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, a n d 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 are created.
•Thecopygroupisdefined 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

• Client nodes are registered during the backup process that runs on the s mart cells. Therefore,
no node is registered during the initial configuration.
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 procedure 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 Manager > Storage Devices page.
You
should see one entry for the backup server and one for the library. If no library is defined, verify
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.)

roperties page appears, as shown in the figure below.
