During the installation, the sample client system options file dsm.sys.smp is placed in the default installation directory. Refer to the README file that is shipped on the product installation media for the location of the dsm.sys.smp file for your UNIX client.
The client system options file (dsm.sys) file is used to specify one or more servers to contact for services, and communications options for each server. It can also include authorization options, backup and archive processing options, scheduling options, and HSM space management options.
If you are a root user or authorized user, copy the dsm.sys.smp file to dsm.sys. It is assumed that the dsm.sys file is controlled by the system administrator.
Attention: If you are reinstalling and you want to keep your existing dsm.sys file intact, do not copy the dsm.sys.smp file to dsm.sys.
Edit dsm.sys to include the server or servers to which you want to connect. The following is an example of a client system options file stanza which contains the required options for a server you want users to contact. You can specify options for more than one server:
Servername server_a COMMmethod TCPip TCPPort 1500 TCPServeraddress almvmd.almaden.ibm.com
Required options for each server stanza are:
Your client system options file (dsm.sys) can also include options to control backup and archive processing, authorization of stored files, and scheduling of tasks. See Chapter 9, Setting Processing Options for more information.
Notes:
As the default, your client node contacts the first server identified in the client system options file (dsm.sys). You can specify a different server to contact by entering the servername option in your own client user options file (dsm.opt), or by entering that option with a command.
You can also specify a default server and a migration server (if you have the Tivoli Space Manager client installed on your workstation) in your client system options file (dsm.sys). For more information, see Defaultserver.
