Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Administrator's Guide


Installing the Tivoli Storage ManagerScheduler Service

For client nodes on Windows, the scheduler service can be separately installed. The scheduler provides additional exploitation of network features by running as a service. The scheduler can be controlled as a service from the TSM Server Utilities or the Windows Services applet. The scheduler provides communication between the server and client and allows backup operations to process automatically.

Prior to Version 3.7.2 of the backup-archive client, the only way to install the scheduler service was through a command-line utility called DSMCUTIL. While the DSMCUTIL utility is available, it is recommended that you install the scheduler by using the method described in Using the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Configuration Wizard. For information about the DSMCUTIL utility, see Tivoli Storage Manager Installing the Clients.

Using the Tivoli Storage Manager Client Configuration Wizard

You can install the TSM client scheduler by using the TSM Client Configuration Wizard. This wizard is packaged with the backup-archive client and is designed to help you install, update, and remove scheduler services.

You can access the scheduler wizard from within the backup-archive client GUI or from the TSM Server Utilities.

From within the backup-archive client GUI:

  1. Select Utilities>Setup Wizard from the main window.
  2. Select the checkbox titled Help me configure the TSM Client Scheduler
  3. Follow the instructions on the wizard. For additional information, see to the Online Help that is included with the wizard.
