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


Creating and Modifying the Client Options File (Required)

During installation, Tivoli Storage Manager provides a sample client option file called dsm.smp. This file is a template containing options required to establish client-server communications. By default, Tivoli Storage Manager places the dsm.smp file in SYS:\tivoli\tsm\client\ba or in another location you select during installation.

To create and customize your own client options file:

  1. From a NetWare requestor, change your current directory to the Tivoli Storage Manager installation directory.
  2. Copy the dsm.smp file to dsm.opt by entering:
    copy dsm.smp dsm.opt
    
  3. Start the NetWare text editor using the load edit command. Use the NetWare load edit command with caution because loss of data can occur. This text editor is normally used to modify small text files. Do not edit large files with this utility. Or you can use an editor from the NetWare requester machine.
  4. Modify the required options according to your needs. The following options are required to establish communication with a Tivoli Storage Manager server:

    |  TCPPort            1520                                                       |
    |  TCPServeraddress   node.domain.company.com                                    |
    |                                                                                |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
