The CA SRM Application Server communicates with the TSM Server and collects from the TSM server information about TSM nodes, sessions, schedules, processes, and storage pools. The following diagram illustrates this:

CA SRM stores the information in objects, which you can view, analyze, and summarize using extensive reporting tools.
CA SRM bases most viewing and reporting functions of the TSM option on data retrieved from the TSM Server. CA SRM organizes this data into objects to which you can apply a set of query, analysis, and presentation tools.
The architecture of CA SRM is similar to that of TSM in that a dedicated server acts as a hub for a group of clients from which it collects data and for which it performs a set of storage management operations. The CA SRM server is called the Application Server. CA SRM manages its client computers. Each client computer has a CA SRM agent installed on it to collect data. The following diagram illustrates this:

When you combine CA SRM and TSM models, servers targeted by both systems become clients of the TSM server and the CA SRM Application Server. The following diagram illustrates this:
