Product Overview
The architecture comprises several key components: the Tivoli Storage Manager server, client nodes, and storage devices (tape and disk). The server acts as the central management point, coordinating backup, archive, and restore operations. Client nodes, running on various platforms, communicate with the server to back up and retrieve data.
Storage devices, typically mainframe-attached tape libraries and disk systems, provide the physical storage for data. Communication between the server and clients occurs over TCP/IP. The server uses a DB2 database to store metadata, including information about files, backups, and storage locations.
The CLI is the primary interface for administration, allowing users to manage storage pools, device classes, and client nodes. The `DEFINE STGPOOL` command is used to create storage pools, while `DEFINE DEVCLASS` defines device characteristics. The `BACKUP NODE` and `RESTORE NODE` commands are used for data protection and recovery.
The product supports various authentication methods and access control models for security.
