Before you can create a Content Platform Engine object to represent
an IBM®
Tivoli® Storage Manager fixed content
device, you must configure the device, and the device must be accessible
to the Content Platform Engine network.
Before you begin
If you want the
IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server
to enforce retention on object content, set the Archive Protection
Flag property on the
IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager fixed
content device.
Procedure
To create a connection from IBM
FileNet® P8 to the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager fixed content device.
- Create a file share that all the Content Platform Engine servers in your IBM
FileNet P8 domain can write to. This
file share is used to store IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager configuration
files and corresponds to the Configuration Files Share property
on the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager fixed content
device.
- Create a client node and password on the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server to connect toIBM
FileNet P8. The client
node and password correspond to the Node Name and Password properties
on the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager fixed content
device.
- Update the MAXSESSIONS property on
the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server to
ensure that it is large enough to handle the expected load from FileNet P8. The FCP
Pool Max In Use property on the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager fixed content device is
defined once for each Content Platform Engine server
instance. So the FCP Pool Max In Use value
multiplied by the number of Content Platform Engine servers
should not exceed the MAXSESSIONS property on
the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server.
- Configure the management classes and associated storage
pools on the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server
for use by the FileNet P8 system.
IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager management classes
are the mechanism used to enforce a retention policy on the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server. When creating
a fixed storage area associated to an IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager fixed content device, you
select the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager management
class corresponding to the retention policy you want to use for documents
stored in this storage area. If you are using FileNet P8 non-aligned retention,
you must select an IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager management
class that does not enforce a retention policy on the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server.
- If you are storing content on tape on the IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server, create a disk storage
pool with an appropriate migration policy to the tape device. Configure your IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager client
node to use this disk pool as a primary storage pool. Adjust the tape-related IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager server properties as described
in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager magnetic tape support.
