GUI Install Steps (approx 5 minutes)

Obtain installation package from product DVD or IBM download site
7.1.1.000-TIV-TSMCMS-Linuxx64.bin
7.1.1.000-TIV-TSMCMS-Windows32.exe
7.1.1.000-TIV-TSMCMS-Windows64.exe
Run the install package in a directory; this will extract the installation files.
Run the install.bat (Windows) or install.sh (Linux) to initiate installation

Silent Install Steps (approx 2 minutes after file created & edited)
Copy the install_response_sample.xml to install_response.xml
To change port install_response.xml file line: <variable name='port' value='9028' />
On Linux./install.sh -s input input/install_response.xml -acceptLicense
On Windows install.bat -s input input\install_response.xml -acceptLicense

22
TSM Operation Center - Count of Reclaimable Volumes

Description
Estimated count of reclaimable volumes can be retrieved from the server by the Operation Center.

Benefit
OCs storage pool view shows the number of reclaimable volumes for each sequential type storage pool

Server Support
The count includes volumes that meet the following criteria
Volume has a percent reclaimable value that is equal to or greater than the pool's reclaim threshold
Volume access is READWRITE, READONLY, or OFFSITE
For spoke servers that are unavailable at the time of status monitor collection
The number of reclaimable volumes will not be available and will show zero value for that server
For spoke servers that are downlevel (prior to 711)
The NUM_RCLMVOLS value is blank (null)

23
TSM Operation Center Customizable Logon Screen
Customize the TSM OC logon to highlight information important to your users
Custom Login Text
Create or Update <install dir>/ui/Liberty/usr/servers/guiServer/loginText.html

Can add custom login text that will be shown on the login screen

Can add html tags

24
Normal vs- Customized
TSM Operation Center - Automatic Refresh of the GUI Data

Description
Prior to V7.1.1, the server refreshed data in the GUI table at the status refresh interval (default 5 mins)
Starting with V7.1.1, the server will immediately refresh the data on server tables used by the OC

Benefit
Allows the OC to display more up to date information without waiting for status refresh interval

Server Support
Applied to all status monitor table( TSMGUI_nnnn_GRID tables )
Currently does not apply to Alerts table it has its own update and refresh handling
Does not apply to TSMGUI_STATUS_DATA
Table used by OC Overview page
Refresh is still done only at status refresh interval due to constant changing nature of the data
Full refresh of data in all OC related tables ( TSMGUI_xxxx_xxxx) are done at status refresh
No auto refresh if status refresh interval is set to 3 minutes or less
Avoids conflict between the two refresh cycles
Theres minimal delay, for example if a node is added to the schedule in the OC
Update is made on the server; Server pushes the update to the OC; OC table gets refreshed
Status Retention is changed from 48 hours to 24 hours

25
 TSM Operation Center - Alert Updates
Alerts were introduced in the 6.3.4 TSM server
7.1.1 Operations Center

Does not configure hub server and spoke servers for email notification

Click Configure to
change alert settings for
the Hub and any Spoke
servers

Can change the

category the alert
belongs to

 TSM Server and OC SUR Occupancy
Description
TSM server collects the space occupancy of primary storage pools for the purposes of SUR licensing
Keeps a record of the space occupied by primary pool storage pools supports TSM SUR
Suite for Unified Recovery is licensing based on the amount of data being managed
Benefit
Administrators dont have to run a long SQL statement to get the SUR information
Server Support
Collected once a week
Logged to the Activity Summary table as ACTIVITY=SUR_OCCUPANCY in TB or PB
QUERY STATUS is updated to display the value and time when it was last collected
SELECT * from STATUS will also display the value and time
Can view in OCs Server view by adding in the SUR Occupancy and SUR Collected columns

QUERY STATUS output

tsm: FUSION>q status
Storage Management Server for AIX - Version 7, Release 1, Level 1.0
