Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide


Creating and Modifying the Client System Options File

Authorized User

During installation, Tivoli Storage Manager provides a sample client system options file called dsm.sys.smp. Use this file to specify one or more servers to contact for services, and the communications options for each server. The file can also include authorization options, backup and archive processing options, and scheduling options.

If you are an authorized user, copy the dsm.sys.smp file to dsm.sys in your installation directory and modify the required options according to your needs. The following options are required to establish communication with a Tivoli Storage Manager server:

If you update the dsm.sys file during a session, you must restart the session to pick up the changes.
