Use batch mode when you want to enter a single client command. You must precede each command with dsmc.
If a Tivoli Storage Manager password is required at your NetWare server, Tivoli Storage Manager prompts you for your password each time you enter a command. For example, to issue the incremental command, enter the following at the NetWare colon prompt:
dsmc incrementalIf your client node name is nwserver, Tivoli Storage Manager responds:
Please enter password for node "nwserver":
When you type in your password and press Enter, the password does not display on your screen.
You can also enter your password with the command. For example, to issue the incremental command with your password in batch mode, enter the following:
dsmc incremental -password=secret
where secret is your password.
If Tivoli Storage Manager is unable to authenticate your ID and password, you are returned to the NetWare colon prompt without being able to use Tivoli Storage Manager services. If Tivoli Storage Manager authenticates your ID and password, it asks you for your NetWare user ID:
Please enter NetWare user for "nwserver":
Next, Tivoli Storage Manager requests your NetWare password.
Please enter the password on "nwserver" for NetWare user "username":
After your NetWare ID and password are accepted, the command processes, displays any messages it generates, and returns to the NetWare colon prompt.
