IBM Tivoli Storage Manager in a Clustered Environment

22.8 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrative Center

With IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V5.3.0, the Administrative Web interface has

been replaced with the Administrative Center. This is a Web-based interface to

centrally configure and manage any Tivoli Storage Manager V5.3.0 server.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Administrative Center consists of two components:

򐂰 The Integrated Solutions Console (ISC)

򐂰 The Administration Center

ISC allows us to install components provided by multiple IBM applications, and

access them from a single interface. It is a requirement to install the

Administrative Center.

22.8.1 Installing the Administrative Center in a clustered environment

To install the Administrative Center in the cluster, we follow the same procedures

outlined in “Installing the ISC and Administration Center for clustering” on

page 92.

For this installation, we will be using drive J, which is still not being seen by VCS.

Again, in order to avoid disk corruption, since both servers see this drive at this

time, we will perform each installation with only one server up at a time, and bring

them both online before configuring the service group in VCS.

22.8.2 Creating the service group for the Administrative Center

After installing ISC and the Administration Center on both nodes, we will use the

Application Configuration Wizard again to create the service group with all the

necessary resources:

1. We click Start →Programs →VERITAS →VERITAS Cluster

Service →Application Configuration Wizard.

2. We review the welcome page in Figure 22-44 and click Next.

3. We select the Create service group option as shown in Figure 22-45 and

click Next.

4. We specify the group name and choose the servers that will hold them, as in

Figure 22-46. We can set the priority between the servers, moving them with

the down and up arrows. We click Next.

5. The wizard will start a process of discovering all necessary objects to create

the service group, as shown in Figure 22-47. We wait until this process ends.

6. We then define what kind of application group this is. In our case there are

two services:

ISC Help Service and IBM WebSphere Application Server V5 -

ISC Runtime Service.

We choose Generic Service from the drop-down list in

Figure 22-48 and click Next.

7. We click the button next to the Service Name line and choose the service

ISC Help Service from the drop-down list as shown in Figure 22-49.

8. We confirm the name of the service chosen and click Next in Figure 22-50.

9. In Figure 22-51 we choose to start the service with the LocalSystem account.
