Comparing Tivoli Storage Manager Scheduling Across Operating Systems and Components

The Tivoli Storage Manager Scheduler provides the capability for the server to process scheduled operations. For client nodes running on operating systems other than Windows, the scheduler is installed when the backup-archive client or application client software is installed. The scheduler can be started by using the DSMC SCHEDULE command on the client's machine. For Windows NT and Windows 2000 clients, the Tivoli Storage Manager Scheduler service must be configured separately.

For more information about installing, configuring, and starting the Tivoli Storage Manager Scheduler, see Backup-Archive Installation and User's Guide.

The following table compares the scheduling environment across operating systems and components:
