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


Creating and Modifying a User Preferences File

During installation, Tivoli Storage Manager provides a sample User Preferences file called TSM User Preferences-Sample. By default, Tivoli Storage Manager places the TSM User Preferences-Sample file in the TSM Application folder (the location where the Tivoli Storage Manager client was installed). You can copy and rename the TSM User Preferences-Sample file to TSM User Preferences and leave this file in the TSM Application folder.

If you use the TSM Client Configuration Assistant to create the TSM User Preferences file, this file is created in the following location:

For Macintosh 9.1
System Folder:Preferences:Tivoli Storage Manager

For Macintosh X
System Folder:Library:Preferences:Tivoli Storage Manager

If the TSM User Preferences file exists in both the TSM Application folder and the path created by the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Configuration Assistant, the TSM User Preferences file created by the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Configuration Assistant takes precedence.

If you are a system administrator, you can modify the TSM User Preferences file according to your needs. This file can contain the following options:

See Using Processing Options for more information about these options.

Use one of the following methods to modify the TSM User Preferences file:

If you update the TSM User Preferences file during a session, you must restart the client to enable the changes.

See Setting Options in a Preferences File for information on how to set options in the TSM User Preferences file.
