The Operations Center includes an Overview page where you can view high-level status information. From the Overview page, you can navigate to other pages that provide more details.
The Operations Center also includes controls for accessing the command line (for example, to issue server commands) and for updating certain configuration settings. Table 1 describes the primary controls in the Operations Center.
- TSM Clients
- A client is considered to be at risk if a problem occurs during
its most recent scheduled backup, or during a backup that starts within
a specified time interval. The term backup also includes
archive operations for Tivoli® Storage
Manager for Enterprise
Resource Planning clients.
Use the information that is shown in the TSM Clients section to check for failed or missed backups and to determine whether backup schedules are running as expected.
- Alerts
- An alert represents one or more error messages that are issued
by a Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
Use the information that is shown in the Alerts section to determine whether any client-related or server-related errors require attention.
- Network Traffic
- Use the Network Traffic section to verify that the amount of data that was recently sent to and from the Tivoli Storage Manager servers is within the expected range.
- TSM Servers
- The status indicator shows whether the Tivoli Storage
Manager servers
that are managed by the Operations Center are available
to provide data protection services to clients.
You can also view information about the following server components:
- Inventory
- The inventory consists of the server database and its active and
archive logs. Use the Inventory section to
complete the following tasks:
- Verify that the database file system has enough free space.
- Verify that there is enough free space in the file systems that contain the active log and archive log.
- Verify that database backups are running as expected. Tip: Database backup information is not reflected in the status summary, but you can click the Inventory section to open the TSM Servers page, which shows the time of the last database backup.
- Storage Pools and Storage Devices
- Use the Storage Pools and Storage Devices section
to complete the following tasks:
- Check the status of your storage pools to ensure that there is enough space available.
- For DISK device classes, determine whether any volumes are offline or have a read-only access state.
- For tape or shared FILE device classes, determine whether there are any libraries, drives, or paths that are offline.
- For FILE device classes that are not shared, determine whether any directories are offline or if there is not enough free space to allocate scratch volumes.
