Commands for Scheduling Client Operations

This section summarizes example commands that can be used for the scheduling tasks that are discussed in this chapter. See Administrator's Reference for server command details.

Define a schedule for a client:

define schedule engpoldom daily_backup starttime=21:00 
duration=2 durunits=hours

Associate a client with a schedule:

define association engpoldom weekly_backup engnode

On the client workstation, start the scheduler: On most clients:

> dsmc schedule 

On Windows NT and Windows 2000 clients:

> net start "TSM Scheduler"  

Check the Backup-Archive Installation and User's Guide for details about automatically starting the scheduler and running the scheduler in the background.

Display schedule information:

query schedule engpoldom

Check to see if the schedule ran successfully:

query event engpoldom weekly_backup begindate=-7 begintime=now
 enddate=today endtime=now
