9.3 Tivoli GUID and Data Warehouse

Some Tivoli products have adopted the use of a globally unique identifier (GUID) that is

permanently assigned to computer systems running storage products. Tivoli Storage

Resource Manager Version 1.2 implements this feature as a software identifier and the GUID

package is automatically installed on the Server and Agents . The GUID allows these

products to coordinate computer system data in the central data warehouse. The GUID is

recorded as an attribute in the central data warehouse for each Tivoli Storage Resource

Manager Server and Agent when available.

A STORAGE_GUID attribute will not be available for the monitored systems until all Agents

are updated to Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Version 1.2.

Consult the Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Version 1.2 documentation for a list of

platforms that support GUID.

You will first need to download the latest Warehouse Pack from:

http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/TivoliDataWarehouse.html

Select Downloads and then Warehouse Packs. Download the Storage Resource Manager

Warehouse Pack and unzip it to a directory. We used:

1. To import the Warehouse Pack, start the setup program from the Tivoli Enterprise Data

Warehouse installation media. Click

Next and on the next screen choose Application

Installation only
