Select Configure MDM in the IBM Director Task pane to set your Multiple Device Manager (MDM) storage user name and password and to identify the DB2 configuration. You can also configure Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager when you select Configure MDM.
Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager must be installed on your server before configuration fields for it are displayed when the Configure MDM window opens.
Static devices are not supported in MDM. Static devices are devices that are statically defined to a common information model object manager (CIMOM) but are not connected to real devices.
Only one CIMOM per device is supported.
Perform the following steps to configure MDM:
![]() | Note: These tasks are for users who have administrator level authority when they log on to IBM Director. |
The user ID and password must also exist or be created on the integrated configuration assistant tool (ICAT) for each device that you want MDM to be able to discover and manage. For example, you can use Configure CIMOM Users from the CIM Agent for ESS start menu folder to add a user with the adduser command.
Configuring the user name and password enables access to MDM functions.
Configuring DB2 and password enables MDM to connect to DB2.
