Tivoli Storage Manager for Macintosh Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Servername

In your TSM System Preferences file, the servername option specifies the name you want to use to identify a server and to begin a stanza containing options for that server. You can name and specify options for more than one server.

The following example demonstrates how to specify options for two different servers:

   SErvername     yakima
    NODename                   node1
    COMMMethod                 TCPip
    TCPPort                    1500
    TCPServeraddress           yakima.sanjose.ibm.com
    PASSWORDAccess             generate
 
   SErvername     server2
    NODename                   node2
    COMMMethod                 TCPip
    TCPPort                    1500
    TCPServeraddress           almvmd.almaden.ibm.com
    PASSWORDAccess             prompt
 

In your TSM User Preferences file, the servername option specifies which server, of those named in your TSM System Preferences file, to contact for backup-archive services. When specified in a client options file the servername option overrides the default server specified in your TSM System Preferences file.

Note:
If the Tivoli Storage Manager server name changes or Tivoli Storage Manager clients are directed to a different Tivoli Storage Manager server, all clients will need to have a new password initialized for the new server name.

Preferences File

Place this option in both the TSM System Preferences and TSM User Preferences files.

Syntax

>>-SErvername servername---------------------------------------><
