Preface
This IBM Redbook covers the new features of Tivoli Storage Manager, which
relate to the Tivoli Enterprise set of products and show how these, in return,
can contribute to a traditional installation of Tivoli Storage Manager.
This redbook is addressed to Tivoli Storage Manager administrators, who
have little or no knowledge of Tivoli Enterprise. However, it does not cover the
basic installation of the Tivoli Framework or its applications. This is covered in
other books listed in Appendix B, Related publications on page 161.
We focus on Tivoli Enterprise products, such as Framework, Distributed
Monitoring, Inventory, Software Distribution, and Enterprise Console. We
show how these modules can be used to ease daily tasks, to monitor
conditions, and to report these accordingly. Additionally, we explain how to
customize Tivoli Storage Manager to collaborate with the Tivoli Enterprise
modules.
This book is divided into three parts. Part 1 contains an introduction to the
different Tivoli Enterprise modules and special features of Tivoli Storage
Manager. Part 2 covers each of the modules in depth. Part 3 describes acomplete scenario where all of the modules come together, therefore
providing a holistic approach to an enterprise management system, including
storage.

Chapter 1. Introduction to Tivoli Management products
In this chapter, we give you an overview of the different products and Tivoli
modules, which are used in the other parts of the book. We explain their basic
functions and their special features.
1.1 Overview
In Figure 1 you can see all the products which are mentioned in the book and
their logical connections to each other. In the upper left corner, there is the
Tivoli Framework underlaying most of the Tivoli modules except Tivoli Service
Desk. In the lower part there is the Tivoli Storage Manager suite with the
server itself and the different clients and special modules. On the right side
you can see some applications, which can be managed by Tivoli
Management modules and its storage managed by the Tivoli Data Protection
modules for Applications. By using all these products together, you will get a
closed cycle of events, management, and data flow.

Chapter 1. Introduction to Tivoli Management products 5
Management applications use, thus, ensuring consistency and integration. At
its core, the Tivoli Framework provides the facilities to transfer files and
execute commands on remote systems with built-in security and authorization
roles. The Tivoli Management applications can use these core facilities to
implement management functions, such as software distribution, resource
monitoring, and system configuration.
Most Tivoli systems management tasks, regardless of the application or
component that is to be managed, may be performed by using the Tivolidesktop that provides a user interface consistent throughout management
applications. However, you are not limited to using the Tivoli desktop, as
many jobs and tasks can also be executed using the command line interface.
1.2.1.2 Tivoli Distributed Monitoring
Tivoli Distributed Monitoring is an application that allows you to monitor the
status of a wide range of geographically-dispersed platforms from different
vendors running different operating systems, including resources that are not
part of your Tivoli Environment.
A monitor is an entity that controls specific aspects of a resource (percentage
of disk space, status of a print queue, database process status, load average
of a system, network collisions, and so on). Its definition contains threshold
values and various response actions triggered upon reaching a threshold.
Tivoli Distributed Monitoring uses the concept of management by subscription
as the other Tivoli core applications. Monitors are defined centrally in
distributed monitoring profiles and then distributed and activated on the target
systems.
Tivoli Distributed Monitoring provides your network computing environment
with the following features:
Centralized, synchronous (scheduled) monitoring of remote resources
Predefined monitors for almost every resource (monitoring collections)
Strong mechanism to generate events and alarms
Automated decisions and actions in response to alarms or events
Various responses (e-mail, triggering a program)
Custom scripts for monitoring specific applications
Full integration with the Tivoli Enterprise Console event server
Data collection for statistical analysis and capacity planning

1.2.1.3 Tivoli Software Distribution
Tivoli Software Distribution provides facilities for the distribution and
installation of software to managed systems in a Tivoli environment. Tivoli
Software Distribution uses the facilities provided by the Tivoli Management
Framework to distribute file packages in an efficient manner. Administrators
use the profile paradigm used by most other Tivoli applications to define file
packages to be distributed. These file packages can include any files
(executable programs, data files, and so on ) and scripts that will be executed
before and after the distribution for a proper installation of the files on thetarget system.
The actual distribution process can use the Multiplexed Distribution (MDist)
facility of the framework to optimize the use of the network. MDist is used to
define nodes as repeaters so that they become fan-out points for the
distribution. By defining an appropriate repeater hierarchy for your network
environment, large file packages will only be moved once across slower links,
but will still reach multiple target systems.
1.2.1.4 Tivoli Inventory
One of the challenges in a network computing environment is keeping track of
the hardware and software installed on each machine. Tivoli Inventoryaddresses this problem by providing the means to gather hardware and
software information related to each system and then storing that information
in a relational database. Queries and reports can be run to display the
information in this database.
Tivoli Inventory has three major advantages:
It is based on the Tivoli Management Framework and therefore can be
tightly and automatically integrated with other Tivoli applications.
It stores inventory information in a Relational Database Management
System (RDBMS) and therefore allows any non-Tivoli applications that
can access SQL data to share the inventory information. Moreover, it
benefits from the advanced features of an RDBMS system, such asscalability and performance.
Tivoli Inventory has close links with other applications, such as Tivoli
Software distribution and Tivoli Service Desk.
1.2.1.5 Tivoli Enterprise Console
For many companies, the computing enterprise is becoming more
heterogeneous in nature. It is supporting a wider variety of operating system
platforms, communications methods, and a diverse set of applications and
databases. Many computing enterprises are also becoming more distributed
-

Chapter 1. Introduction to Tivoli Management products 7
both from a client/server and a geographical perspective. It follows, therefore,
that the computing enterprise is becoming increasingly more demanding to
manage and control, and it is getting more difficult to attain acceptable levels
of availability. Availability or the lack of availability of the computing resources
may be directly related to the bottom line of a company as well as to its
competitiveness within the industry.
The people who create and develop the variety of resources that make up a
computing environment give the resources the ability to provide statusinformation through the creation and transmission of alarms, messages,
alerts, traps, and so on. These may be created in large quantities and may
flow through the network expressing significant or insignificant changes in the
status of those resources. It is up to the system support teams and
operations staff to sort through the potentially large quantity of messages in
order to respond appropriately to a given situation.
To issue these problems, Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) provides a
centralized point of integration and control for enterprise client/server
environments. It allows administrators to monitor information about the
environments for which they are responsible.
TEC assists in maintaining high availability of the myriad of networks,systems, applications, and databases found within an enterprise. TEC helps
detect potential problems before they cause outages. When problems are
detected, TEC may be configured to take action and intervene as defined by
the customer.
TEC can prevent administrators from being flooded with unnecessary data
that masks the real problems. For instance, it can perform automatic actions
or filter out duplicate messages. By maintaining a comprehensive history of
reported conditions, TEC allows handling only serious problem that happen in
a particular time frame or in the context of other previously-received events.
Both TEC and Tivoli Distributed Monitoring (TDM) are capable of monitoringsystem resources and activities. Both have the capability to respond to
events. TEC is more powerful in that it can understand that events reported
from different sources are related. TEC maintains a history, whereas TDM
does not. The administrators have more power and flexibility to respond to
events with TEC.
The scope of events which TEC can monitor is broader. However, most
environments use TEC and TDM. Let us distinguish each product:
TDM is ideal for monitoring locally and for synchronous monitoring.

Launch TSM and other related system applications.
Automate scheduled backups.
Automate deletion of old backups.
Back up and restore a Microsoft Exchange Server Cluster running in a
Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) environment.
Set up seamless failover for scheduled backups in an MSCS environment.
The Exchange Application Client communicates with Tivoli StorageManager using its application program interface (API) and with an
Exchange Server using the Exchange API.
The Exchange Application Client must be installed on the same machine as
the Exchange Ser ver. However, the Exchange Application Client must be able
to connect to a TSM server which can run on any supported operating
system. The Exchange Application Client can compress Exchange data
before sending it to the TSM server. The Exchange Application Client also
runs in a Microsoft Cluster Server environment.
1.2.2.2 Tivoli Data Protection for MS SQL
Tivoli Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server (referred to as the SQL
Application Client) is an application that allows you to perform online backupsand restores of Microsoft SQL databases to Tivoli Storage Manager storage.
The SQL Application Client helps you protect and manage SQL Server data
by making it easy to:
Perform full database and transaction log (incremental) backups.
Perform a restore of a full database and any number of associated
transaction logs.
Delete an SQL database backup from Tivoli Storage Manager storage.
Back up any SQL database to any Tivoli Storage Manager server with
drag-and-drop ease.

Chapter 1. Introduction to Tivoli Management products 11
A Lotus Domino database is stored on a server or client workstation as a
single structured file, usually with a .NSF file extension. Domino databases
are complex logical structures that appear to traditional storage management
tools, such as the Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client, as single
workstation files. It runs only at operating system level and will always back
up the entire database. Whenever a single document is updated within a
database, an incremental backup updates the entire database, because the
database modification timestamp has changed.
Most backup products can perform incremental backups of files, except
Domino. The Tivoli Data Protection module incrementally backs up Domino
databases on a document level to allow the administrator to retain a certain
number of backup versions for each document.
The Tivoli Data Protection module for Lotus Domino application uses the
Lotus Domino API to communicate with the Lotus Domino databases. The
Tivoli Data Protection module uses the Tivoli Storage Manager API to
communicate with the Tivoli Storage Manager server. The Tivoli Storage
Manager API is configured in a way similar to the standard backup-archive
client. It has its own dsm.opt client user options file, which contains standard
options such as node name, connectivity options, and include-exclude filter
lists. The syntax for the include-exclude list for the Lotus Domino is different
from the backup-archive client. It is highly recommended that you use a
unique node name for the Lotus Domino Agent. Then the Tivoli Storage
Manager server will view the application as a separate, self-contained
workstation client.
The Lotus Domino Agent helps you protect your Lotus Domino databases by
using the backup and recovery services of Tivoli Storage Manager. Functions
are available that enable you to:
Incrementally back up only those portions of a database that have
changed since the last back up, such as new or changed documents,
forms, and views.
Restore selected documents from a database (graphical user interface
only).
Restore documents that are deleted but not yet purged from a database.
Restore an entire Lotus Domino database.
Some of these tasks can be performed by using a graphical user interface
(the Lotus Notes Workspace). Others can be accomplished through a
command-line interface.

1.2.3.3 Tivoli Manager for MS SQL
Tivoli Manager for Microsoft SQL Server complements existing Microsoft
tools for Microsoft SQL Server and adds features so you can manage a large
number of database servers in a distributed environment. This product
concentrates on those tasks that can be defined and deployed by generic
methods. It reduces the complexity of managing large distributed database
environments and frees database administrators (DBAs) to concentrate on
the non-generic issues associated with each of the individual servers.
This product provides the ability to manage and monitor Microsoft SQL
Servers by providing extensions to TME 10 Framework, Distributed
Monitoring, Enterprise Console, and Global Enterprise Manager (GEM). It
includes the MSSQLManagerTasks library and the MSSQLServer and
MSSQLDatabase monitoring collections.
These tools enable you to manage distributed Microsoft SQL Server
computing resources effectively.

Part 2. Using the individual modules
Part 2 covers the Tivoli Enterprise products, plus modules, Tivoli Data
Protection for different applications and Tivoli Storage Manager. We do not
cover the installation, and expect that the system is already installed and
running.
We give you a description of individual modules starting with product
architecture, concepts, definitions of components, how they work, and, at the
end, examples of how to set them up. These examples are based on our
environment and can be different from the system environment in your
organization.
Setting up Tivoli Enterprise requires a basic knowledge of Tivoli products,
and, therefore, this may involve your Tivoli Enterprise administrator. We also
discuss how to configure Tivoli Storage Manager, which requires basic
knowledge of Tivoli Storage Manager administration.
This part of the book will help you to get started, and, at the end, you should
be able to make use of the Tivoli Enterprise features that relate to Tivoli
Storage M anager.

2.4.2 Creating tasks and jobs
2.4.2.1 Create task library
A task library enables you to create tasks and jobs that can be run on one ormore managed resources in a network. You can create multiple task libraries
within each policy region.
Before creating the task, one or more executable files or scripts that
implement the operation associated with the task must exist. We created a
task library with the name acme-task within the policy region acme-region.
A task library must be an enabled managed resource of this policy region
before you can create it. See Figure 11.
Figure 11. Task Library, acme_task
2.4.2.2 Creating a task
Example of creating a task named df (this task will run the df command onUNIX platform). See Figure 12.
1. Double-click on the icon of the task library. Select the Task... option from
the task librarys Create menu to display the Create Task dialog.
2. In the Task Name field of the Create Task window, enter the name of the
task. Choose the platform on which you would like to run the task. If you
have a generic executable, for example, a shell script can be run on
multiple architectures.

Chapter 3. Tivoli Distributed Monitoring 45
The first thing to do is to create a Distributed Monitoring profile in a profile
manager. If you are using Endpoints, be sure to have dataless mode enabled
on the profile manager. Also verify that the Sentry Profile is among the
managed resources of your current policy region.
In our example we use just one profile which holds multiple monitors related
to Tivoli Storage Manager server on the AIX platform. We named the profile
dm_tsm_server_aix, as seen in Figure 19.

Chapter 3. Tivoli Distributed Monitoring 51
3.2.2 Custom script monitors
The next example we want to show involves reporting a certain condition via a
custom script and integrating it into a Tivoli Distributed Monitoring monitor.
3.2.2.1 Defining shell scripts
In this example, we used one of the sample scripts provided by Tivoli Storage
Manager. You can import these scripts to your Tivoli Storage Manager server
by running: dsmserv runfile /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/webimages/scripts.smp
This will provide you with some sample scripts which can be used to monitor
specific conditions inside your Tivoli Storage Manager.
The one we chose is q_scratch_stg, which gives back the percentage of
allowed scratch volumes used in a storage pool via an SQL select statement.
It returns the value in a numeric figure, which then can be monitored by
setting triggers to the response levels in Tivoli Distributed Monitoring.
The first step consists of writing a shell script which logs in to Tivoli Storage
Manager server using the batch mode of the administrative command-line
interpreter dsmadmc. For security reasons, it is suggested that you create an
unprivileged operator account in your Tivoli Storage Manager for thesemonitoring issues. The script then passes the command to run the script, and
the returned value is piped through some shell commands to get only the
desired numeric figure.
#!/bin/ksh
dsmadmc -id=tivoli -password=tivoli "run q_scratch_stg tapepool" \
| grep TAPEPOOL | tr -s " "|cut -d " " -f2
To test the script, execute it on the shell prompt first. It should look like this:
brazil:/ > ./monitor.sh
1.000
3.2.2.2 Using shell scripts in a monitor
Now, to import this script into Tivoli Distributed Monitoring, we add a new
monitor from the universal monitoring collection with the name Numeric
script. Then you have to provide the full path for the script you created. After
adding it, you should get a screen like the one shown in Figure 23.

Chapter 5. Tivoli Inventory 73
5.2 Examples
These examples are designed to stimulate your imagination they arent
intended to be taken as-is. If you go through them and find yourself thinking:
I would do this in another way, then the lesson is already learned.
5.2.1 Inventory profiles
In this section we show three examples of inventory profiles:
1. Hardware scan
2. Software scan
3. Saving of configuration files
In Figure 36 you can see a screen showing this three inventory profiles and
their subscribers. As with other modules, you have to set subscribers to the
profiles in order to distribute them to the target machines.
There is only one default Inventory scan profile, so upon creation, a default
one will appear. You then have to customize it to the designated function.
Inventory scans target machines in parallel, but writes the collected
information to the configuration repository serially ; so, it is important that
the network connectivity between the TMR, Inventory server, RIM host, and
the RDBMS is sufficient and configured for optimum operation. Also,
inventory does not save the information to the configuration repository until
all targets of the distribution are scanned.

5.2.1.1 Hardware scan
To create an inventory profile which scans the hardware of your machines,
open the profile manager which is supposed to house your inventory profiles.
If you are using Endpoints as subscribers, make sure that this profile
manager is in dataless mode, and that Inventory Profile is a managed
resource of your current policy region. See Figure 37.

Chapter 5. Tivoli Inventory 77
When you are scanning only for hardware, then only the upper part of the
screen is important. Be sure that only hardware scan is selected, and that
the appropriate MIF files are created. For more about MIF files, see the Tivoli
Inventory Users Guide, GI10-8048.
Then save and close, and you can now distribute this inventory profile to the
target machines. It will scan for all hardware which is known to inventory. This
includes processors, memory, file systems, hard disks, BIOS information, and
so on. To keep up-to-date with changes made to the machines, you shouldschedule these scans with the Tivoli Framework scheduler.
5.2.1.2 Software scan
In order to create an inventory profile for scanning software, create another
profile called sw_scan and open it for customizing (Figure 39).
The execute on target should be software scan and read results to
Software MIF file. The save results in database section is for incremental
(update with differences) or replace all collected information. End user
access relates to Tivoli Userlink which we dont cover in this book. See the
Tivoli Inventory Users Guide, GI10-8048.
When you are not having separate inventory profiles for each platform, it is
recommended that you scan all files with all extensions. Thats because
executables in UNIX platforms dont need extensions, but on Windows
platforms, extensions are required.
After changing the values, you can save and exit. To run the software scan,
distribute the profile to the subscribers. This scan normally takes a while for
each machine to perform, and your database will be quite busy. Although the
scans run parallel on all targets, the results are being written to the database
serially after all scans have finished. So no updates are visible as long as the
scan is running.

However, you can also save the contents of the dsm.opt/sys file and your
Tivoli Storage Managers recovery plan file. This is especially useful when
these files have been altered or deleted, since you cant access the Tivoli
Storage Manager server to restore them, if they dont exist. If you choose
Store as ASCII they will be copied to the database directory of your TMR
server ($BINDIR/inventory/objectid/...). See Figure 40.
Figure 40. Storing configuration files as ASCII through inventory profile
In order to keep track of changes to these files, you can schedule the
distribution of the scanning profiles.

Processor, memory, paging space
Determine if compression should be on or not.
5.2.2.2 Software queries
For Tivoli Inventory to recognize which software products are installed on a
target (rather than just knowing which files are on), you have to provide
Software Signatures. They consist of stanzas for each Software product
which include a filename, its size, the name of the product and its version.
With this unique combination, Tivoli Inventory recognizes a software product
which then can be queried. For standard products, these signature files are
provided by Tivoli and are updated regularly. They can be downloaded from
the Tivoli support Web site http://www.tivoli.com/support.
Note that special products (including Tivoli products), are not provided.
However, if you add them manually, they are especially useful for Tivoli
Storage Manager administrators.
The command wfilesig is used to import software signatures into Tivoli
Inventory. The syntax is:
wfilesig [-a|-r] [-n name -s size -d description -v version]
The parameters are -a for adding and -r for removing certain products.
Here is a sample of creating a custom signature:
wfilesig -a -n dsmc.exe -s 1036288 \
-d Tivoli Storage Manager Backup/Archive-Client Win32 -v 3.7.2
An explanation of how to use the wfilesig command can be found by typing
man wfilesig or in the Tivoli Inventory Users Guide, GI10-8048.
This will make Tivoli Inventory recognize the Tivoli Storage Manager
Backup/Archive client version 3.7.2 on the Windows platforms. With this
information stored in the repository database, you can create a custom query
to list all the Tivoli Storage manager clients and versions on all client
machines. To create such a custom query, open a query library (for example,
INVENTORY_QUERIES). Create a query and change it, using the values in
Figure 42.

5.3 Hints and tips
If you are running multiple scans on multiple machines, make sure your
database log is big enough.
Queries over multiple views or tables can take a significantamount of time
and CPU to proceed.
If you have large fileservers, dont scan all files. Search only specific
directories.
If your company is developing software, create software signatures for
these products as well.
There are queries and signatures for fix-levels and PTFs.

This chapter explains basic Tivoli Enterprise Console components and how to
set them for the Tivoli Storage Manager Enterprise environment.
6.1 Introduction
Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) is a management product that allows you toapply customized actions on different events from different sources, such as
operating systems, network management data, databases, or applications
events. In TEC, all these events from the IT environment are brought together
in one place, which offers the administrators a centralized and filtered view of
the enterprise-wide events. See Figure 44.

When event receiver on server ACMESLAVE receives an event with event
number ANR1400, it checks it with event rules to see if this event is enabled
or not. The event ANR1400 will be routed to the master server. On the master
server Receiver Engine REC receives the event ANR1400 and forwards the
event to TEC, where it will be handled in order the rules set for each specific
event.
Testing event logging
You can test that the event logging is working as it should by issuing theEVGEN command.This command generates an event with the event number
specified by you. By querying the activity log, you can see if your event is
generated.
For example:

Chapter 11. Examples 153
Figure 92. Compound Rule
After successful creation of the recovery log files and extension of the
recovery log, you get two confirmation messages. The first one is for
successful creation of the log file, and the second one is for extend itself, so
you must create a similar rule for that situation too. With this last rule, you
close all events except information about the successful extend of the log with
harmless severity, to notify the Event Console administrator.
11.3 Offline backup of the Exchange server
Periodically, you may want to make an image of your system, by stopping the
database or groupware servers and then making a backup by file. In thisexample, you are going to use Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server, with Tivoli
Manager for MS Exchange. In this scenario, you first stop the Microsoft
Exchange server. When the server is stopped, you start the backup, and
when the backup is finished, you start the Exchange server.
