IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for AIX: Quick Start

Prerequisites

To install, configure, and use the Web proxy, you need the following:

• A Web server on one of the following platforms: AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris, or Windows NT and Windows 2000. The Web server can provide services to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager servers on AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris, Windows NT and Windows 2000, and MVS^(TM).

  Note:

  You should not install the Web server and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server on the same machine. To do so would be to lose the performance advantage of using the Web proxy.

• An IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Secure Web Administrator Proxy CD mounted on your server, or the location of the Web proxy files available via ftp.
• The communication methods set to TCP/IP and HTTP in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server options file for each server that you will access.

  Note:

  The HTTPS communication method, which was required for SSL support under ADSM Version 3, is not required for the Web proxy and is not supported by IBM Tivoli Storage Manager.

The Web server must have the following:

• At least 20MB of space to install the base package and the English-language version of the Web proxy help files. If you install other languages, you will need more space.

  Note:

  The setup and configuration wizard does not check for available disk space.

• Secure socket layer (SSL) set up.
• Support for Common Gateway Interface ( NT and Windows 2000) 1.0 or later.
• Support for Java Development Toolkit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.1.6 or later. See System Requirements for a list of browsers that provide this support.

After the Web server is installed, note the location of:

• The Web server's cgi-bin directory.

  /opt/webserver/cgibin
  

• The location of the Web server's HTML directory:

  /opt/webserver/htdocs
  

• The location of the JRE's base directory:

  opt/java1.2/jre
