IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Management Console Overview
The Tivoli Storage Manager Administration Console is the interface that is used to configure all settings in a Tivoli Storage
Manager server environment. In order for the Tivoli Storage Manager Administration Console to make changes the administration
console must point to the desired Tivoli Storage Manager server. By default the administration console will locate the Tivoli
Storage Manager server on the local system if present. The administration console can also be pointed at other Tivoli Storage
Manager servers in environment to monitor activities and statistics for those particular Tivoli Storage Manager servers. To point
the administration console to additional Tivoli Storage Manager servers, use the Manage Servers panel, as shown in Figure 7.

Adding a Whitewater Gateway to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Tasks
When adding a Whitewater gateway to a Tivoli Storage Manager environment there are three primary tasks that are required. The
first is to create a FILE device class, which is associated with a CIFS share created on the Whitewater gateway. The second is to
create a storage pool using that FILE device class so data volumes can be written to Whitewater based storage. Lastly, the policy
domain must be modified so client backups are directed to use the new storage pool target.
