Backup Central

Hi All,



I am trying to install 2 TSM version 6.2 add-ons. The first is Admin
Center, and the second is Tivoli Storage Manager Reporting and Monitoring.
I can't make heads or tails of the documentation for either product and
neither is working properly.



After, I installed the Reporting piece, it then asks me to create a DB2
database. Why? If this is for TSM 6.x, shouldn't the db2 database be
created automatically? What good is this so called-reporting program if you
have to build everything from scratch anyway?



Admin Center is even worse. It won't install at all. It just gives me a
message that says "Deployment Engine Failed to Initialize. Please check
with the log files for a more complete description of the failure.". The
only problem is, there are no log files.



I am running the installation on a VM running windows 2k3 server. Ram and
disk space are not an issue. Any suggestions/help will be greatly
appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Jim,
I will send you a powerpoint presentation I present at Tivoli User Group (Sweden) how you setup TIP and ITM for TSM.

But answer to your question, you need a DB2 to archive the Historical data so you can create reports.

Hi There,

My problem is applying support on my existing ITM server. The installation for Agent only as per documentation fails on both my TEMS server and my TEPS server. It would appear that this is installed though as I see the agent in my cinfo -i command on both.

The display in the portal is not right though. I tried uninstalling but this also given me error.

Please help
