Tivoli Storage Resource Manager consists of the following components:
Server acts as the center for all management operations. All requests from clients are
sent to the SRM server, and the server then retrieves data from the repository and returns
it to the client. With this data, users can construct and display the reports. The Server also
directs the Agent activity through its job scheduling component.
Database Repository is used to store the collected data from the Agents.
WWW Server is optional, and provides communications for remote Web access to the
Server. The WWW Server can run on the same physical system as the Tivoli Storage
Resource Manager Server.
Managed Systems run the Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Agent code, which is used
to gather the information about the managed server, its storage, and managed
applications.
Direct-connect Clients have the GUI to the Server installed locally. They communicate
directly with the Server to perform administration, monitoring, and reporting.
Scheduled Batch Reports are jobs which prepare reports based on collected data from
the Managed Systems, which are scheduled to run automatically. The reports will be
generated using the data residing in the database.
