At installation, Tivoli Storage Manager provides a server options file named ANRSMPOP with a set of default options to start the server. The ANRSMPOP member, found in the of the ASAMPLIB dataset, contains the format of the options file and all the default settings. To create the server options file, copy ANRSMPOP into another dataset.
At server initialization, the server reads the server options file. If you update a server option by editing the file, you must stop and start the server to activate the updated server options file. You can change some options dynamically by issuing the SETOPT command. See SETOPT (Set a Server Option for Dynamic Update) for details.
