Exploring Storage Management Efficiencies and Provisioning - Understanding IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center and IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center with Advanced Provisioning

92 Exploring Storage Management Efficiencies and Provisioning

4.1 Installation and configuration procedures

Follow the installation procedures for each of the components of IBM

TotalStorage Productivity Center as they are described in the appropriate

installation guides. The LaunchPad is installed automatically during the IBM

TotalStorage Multiple Device Manager installation. This section describes some

specific considerations when you install the components as part of the IBM

TotalStorage Productivity Center suite.

You will need to specify additional ports for use by IBM TotalStorage Multiple

Device Manager and IBM Tivoli SAN Manager for WebSphere Application Server

and SNMP. In addition, you may want to configure IBM Director to send SNMP

events to go to the NetView and to configure IBM Tivoli SAN Manager to receive

these SNMP events.

Install IBM Multiple Device Manager, IBM Tivoli SAN Manager, and IBM Tivoli

Storage Resource Manager on the same machine, and install IBM Tivoli

Provisioning Manager on a separate machine. IBM TotalStorage Multiple Device

Manager and IBM Tivoli SAN Manager each requires its own version of the

WebSphere. However, they can share a single instance of DB2 Version 8.1,

which is shipped with IBM TotalStorage Multiple Device Manager.

Earlier versions of IBM Tivoli SAN Manager and IBM Tivoli Storage Resource

Manager agents can communicate with IBM Tivoli SAN Manager Version 1.3.1

and IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Version 1.3.2 managers. In addition,

earlier versions of IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager agents are

automatically upgraded to the new release the first time they contact a Version

1.3.2 manager.

The installed version of IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager should be 2.1.0 with

Fix Pack 2.1.0.0-TIV-TPM-IF0001.

This section describes some specific considerations when you install the

components as part of the IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center suite. Install

IBM Multiple Device Manager, Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager, and Tivoli

Storage Resource Manager on the same machine. Install IBM Tivoli Provisioning

Manager on a separate machine.

4.1.1 Migration

If you have already installed a previous version of a component, you can

upgrade it for use with TotalStorage Productivity Center Version 1.2. For detailed

upgrade instructions, see the installation documentation for each component.

Chapter 4. Installation overview 93

Here are the considerations involved:

򐂰 IBM TotalStorage Multiple Device Manager 1.0 can be upgraded as a

standard PTF to Version 1.1.1 Service Pack1.

򐂰 IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Version 1.2.x, 1.3.0, or 1.3.1 can be

upgraded to Version 1.3.2 as a maintenance upgrade.

IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Version 1.x must first be upgraded to

Version 1.2.x and then upgraded to Version 1.3.2.

IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Version l, 1.2.x, or 1.3.x agents are

automatically upgraded when they first contact a Version 1.3.2 server.

򐂰 IBM Tivoli SAN Manager Version 1.2.x or 1.3.0 installation can be upgraded

as a maintenance upgrade to Version 1.3.1.

IBM Tivoli SAN Manager Version 1.x must be uninstalled before installing

Version 1.3.1.

4.1.2 Installing the components

To track your progress while installing and setting up the IBM TotalStorage

Productivity Center components, you might want to use the following checklist.

The following installations are done on a single machine:

1. If you have DB2 Version 8.1 with FixPak 4a installed, go to step 3 later in this

section. To check for the current level of DB2, run the db2level command.

2. If you do not have DB2 Version 8.1 with FixPak 4a installed, do these steps:

a. Install DB2 Version 8.1 if necessary.

b. Stop DB2 and all related processes.

c. Download FixPak 4a from this Web site:

http://www-306.ibm.com/cgi-bin/db2www/data/db2/udb/winos2unix/support/

v8fphist.d2w/report

d. Install FixPak 4a and follow any prompt to reboot. If you do not reboot,

start DB2.3.

3. Install Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager Version 1.3.1. For instructions,

see IBM Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager Planning and Installation

Guide.

Note: IBM Multiple Device Manager and Tivoli Storage Area Network

Manager each requires its own version of WebSphere Application Server. IBM

Multiple Device Manager, Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager, and Tivoli

Storage Resource Manager can share a single instance of DB2 Version 8.1.
