17.5.2 Post-completion tasks

In this section we discuss the post-completion tasks.

Adjusting your DBMEMPERCENT parameters

The DBMEMPERCENT server option parameter sets a limit on the percentage of the system

memory that is used for the database manager. By default, the percentage of the virtual

address space that is dedicated to the database manager processes is set to 70 to 80 % of

system RAM. To change this setting to a value from 10 to 99 %, modify the

DBMEMPERCENT server option. Ensure that the value allows adequate memory for both the

Tivoli Storage Manager server and any other applications that are running on the system.

AUTO is the default value.

It is generally not necessary to change this setting on a system that is dedicated to a single

Tivoli Storage Manager server. If there are other applications that require significant amounts

of memory on a system, changing this setting to an appropriate amount reduces paging and

improves system performance. For systems with multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers,

changing this setting for each server is recommended. For example, this could be set to 25%

for each of three servers on a system. Each server could also have a different value for this

setting, as appropriate for the workload on that server.

Adding a the new server instance in the Integration Solutions Console

Now the Tivoli Storage Manager V6.1 instance is ready to associate within the ISC, and is

currently running in the background. Log into the ISC with the user ID and password defined

during the installation process, and then follow the next figures shown.

Autostart setup for Tivoli Storage Manager V6.1

In the following steps we prepare the autostart setup:

1. To ensure that the TSM1 instance starts automatically after a system reboot, the following

line must be inserted into the AIX /etc/inittab file, as shown in Example 17-42.
