The Storage Agent Options File

The options file for the storage agent is named dsmsta.opt.

The dsmsta.opt file is located where the storage agent program was installed, the default path is: /usr/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin .

Normally you do not need to make any changes to the options file. If your TSM server changes, you may need to make changes to this file. The required options are:

SERVERName server_name
