Configuration - Scan/Probe Agent Administration

Use the Scan/Probe Agent Administration window to assign the Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Agents that should perform scans against the:

This window provides a complete listing of the licensed NetWare volumes and NAS filers discovered by Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Discovery jobs. If a Discovery job is not run against NDS trees and NAS filers, the volumes in those trees will not be listed on this window.

Note: You must use this window to assign an Agent to each NetWare volume and NAS filesystem you want to scan using a Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Scan job. If you do not assign an Agent to a volume/filesystem, storage statistics will not be gathered for that volume/filesystem.

Tip: You can assign an Agent to scan one or more filesystems. However, keep in mind that the size of a filesystem affects the speed at which that filesystem is scanned. Distributing filesystem scanning responsibilities among different Agents can greatly increase the speed at which Scan information is gathered. For example, if you have three small filesystems and one large one, you might want to assign one Agent to each of the three smaller filesystems, and a different Agent to the large filesystem.
