10.1.2 Configuration basics of Tivoli System Automation

Configuring Tivoli System Automation to automate or to manage resources involves the following basic steps:

Creating a Tivoli System Automation Domain

Creating a resource group

Creating resources

Adding resources to resource group

Creating equivalencies (typically used for IP address resources)

Specifying dependencies

In order to create a new resource of the Application resource class (for example, for the Deployment Manager), the following three scripts (or commands respectively) must be provided:

1. A start script (or command) to bring the resource online.

2. A stop script (or command) to take the resource offline.

3. A script (or command) to monitor the resource through polling.

For details on how to develop these scripts, refer to IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms Guide and Reference.
