Adding Multiple Servers from the Servers Dataview
Expand Server->Configuration and Double Click on Servers
The first task to perform after installing TSM is to add your TSM Servers. There are two ways to add your servers. You can add each TSM Server manually or import them from the TSM Servers Dataview ( To be able to import your servers from the Servers Dataview you first must define a TSM Server manually ).
See an Example Here of setting up a TSM Server
Adding a TSM Server
User Profiles :- – A quick note here about User Profiles. If you use the same userid with the same password to connect to all your TSM Servers then setup a User Profile. See the Knowledge Base article on User Profiles – User Profiles KB Article
Adding TSM Servers Manually
TSM Server Definition Dialog is Displayed, Enter the TSM Server Details
Right Click on the TSM Servers Navigation view and Select Add TSM Server.
- Enter the Server Name ( Any name that has meaning to you )
- Enter a Description for this server (optional)
- Enter the IP Address or DNS name for this server
- Enter the Port of leave at the default (1500)
- Switch to the Logon Tab
- If you are using a User Profile then select the User profile to use
- Check the Auto Logon checkbox if you do not want to be prompted for a Password when connecting to the TSM Server
The same as above but with an example of using a DNS name instead of IP address
Once you have created your first TSM Server you can now import the rest of your servers from the Server Dataview.
- Expand your TSM Server to show the Dataview Categories
- Expand the Configuration Category
- Double Click on the Servers node.
- Select the Servers You want to import
- Right Click on the Dataview to bring up the dataview context menu
- There are two options for importing either using the IP Address of the Server Name
- IP Address will put the IP Address in the address field for the TSM Server Definition
- Server Name will put the Server Name in the address field for the TSM Server Definition
- Next Specify the User Profile of Userid details for these servers and they will all be imported into TSM Studio
Select the servers to Import and Select the Import Servers to TSM Studio ( either Using IP Address or Using Server name, see below for the differences )
A Dialog will appear requesting the Userid and Password details, fill this in
