Pre-Installation Setup for IBM Tivoli Storage Manager > Adding/Configuring an IBM TSM Server within the Data Collector Policy
  
Version 10.0.01
Adding/Configuring an IBM TSM Server within the Data Collector Policy
Add IBM TSM servers/instances by clicking Add, or by importing using a .CSV file. The IBM TSM Instances table is populated using this method. Servers added to this table are also displayed under Host Management and Host Group Administration. The IBM TSM Instances table only displays available Instances that are not assigned to other policies within the domain.
Note: Data Collector policies can be in place for multiple instances but an instance cannot be assigned multiple policies within the same domain. If you try add an instance that is already assigned to another Data Collector policy, you will be prompted to remove it from its current policy and reassign it.
1. Click Add on the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Data Collector Policy screen. The Add IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Instance screen displays.
2. Enter the values:
